LONDON (ShareCast) - First Calgary, the oil and gas company that specializes in Algeria, said it has received a number of proposals, which could lead to the sale of the company or a major asset disposal.
“The company has received proposals from third parties relating to the sale of the company or a significant asset disposal. The company is in discussions with these parties,” it said late Wednesday.
The group said it made the announcement in response to the recent volatility in its share price and speculation of a potential sale, which saw shares surge on Wednesday.
It added that no agreement has been reached yet and there can be no assurances that the discussion will lead to the sale of the company.
