Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, and it is expected that admission will become effective and trading will commence on Friday 4 March 2010.

Following admission, the company says it will have 94,517,416 Shares in issue. The company does not hold any Shares in treasury.

In December 2010, the company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Petroval Bunker International B.V., a fuel oil storage and bunker supply business based in Rotterdam, from Petroval Pte. Ltd. for US$10.8 million in cash.

Petroval operates two heated fuel oil tanks with a total capacity of 120,000 cubic metres, in Europoort Rotterdam, which it leases from Vopak. The current leases expire in April 2014.
