Question 1/21

The following email has just arrived:
From: William Seaton, Director of Finance
To: Finance Manager
Subject: News article
Hi,
My Secretary has drawn my attention to the attached newspaper clipping. I have been reading comments like this since Fouce Oil acquired its interest in 2010. We briefed the press at the time and made it clear that we would not be commenting further on our relationship with it unless it changed materially. Nothing has happened since then to make us change our mind on that.
The Board has asked me to compile a report on the following:
* How might the presence of Fouce Oil, as a 25% shareholder, affect our decision making as a Board of Directors? Perhaps, surprisingly, we have never had a formal discussion of this matter.
* How will Fouce Oil's stake in Slide affect our share price?
I would like you to email me your thoughts on these points so that I can have as long as possible to think about what I will say to the Board.
Thanks
William
