Significant events
- “The conflict in the Middle East has led to significant and ongoing disruption across global energy markets, creating uncertainty around supply, pricing and operational stability. Stakeholders are increasingly focused on potential impacts on people, operations, contractual performance and the availability of key products. Prolonged instability may result in regional staffing challenges, commodity shortages and heightened governmental and customer scrutiny. Additional risks include security threats, regulatory responses and increased media and analyst attention on industry earnings.”
- “Both subsidiaries [First Telecommunications Limited and First Utility Limited] are currently under liquidation. The liquidation process is ongoing as at the reporting date and has not yet been completed.”
