Here's what was released as part of the announcement on Fri...
As part of its agreement with the City of Moscow and as previously announced,
Sibir undertook, on a best endeavours basis, to seek admission of its shares to
the Official List of the London Stock Exchange by 30 June 2008. Whilst
significant efforts have been made, and are continuing to be made, to achieve
this move, the Board has found it necessary to adopted a revised timetable to
enable the Company to complete a corporate restructuring to facilitate dividend
streams, deal with the complicated integration of the Moscow Oil and Gas Company
(MOGC) acquisition, complete the harmonisation of affairs at the Moscow Refinery
with Gazpromneft and pursue other opportunities that have arisen, although these
opportunities may or may not come to fruition. The deferred timetable envisages
application to the Official List either at the end of the second half of 2008 or
in the first half of 2009.
