Under U.K. regulations, the department must consent to any proposed transfer of interests in licences. It has advised the company that it has not formed a view on Velo's financial capacity, but is not satisfied with several aspects of the company, including its technical capacity and its corporate structure in relation to the specific needs for operating in the U.K. offshore basin. The department indicated that it is willing to discuss the reasons for its decision and possible remedies for its concerns with Velo. Meetings with the department are being arranged by Velo to address these concerns, and are expected to occur later this week and/or early next week. We seek Safe Harbor.
