In October, Nu-Oil revealed a restructuring amid a debt purchase by C4 Energy Ltd.
C4 acquired US$2.5mln worth of debt, and, its shareholders - which include former Aminex chief executive Jay Bhattacherjee - participated in a £500,000 placing to provide short-term working capital.
Bhattacherjee joined as non-executive chairman-elect along with fellow C4 shareholder Andrew Dennan, meanwhile, the prior Nu-Oil management team departed and subsequently took with them the company’s ‘legacy’ marginal field assets.
