Statement by the Chairman of the Finance Committee

In 2019, the Committee coordinated KMG’s efforts to improve its financial position, including its financial stability. The most critical deals designed to reduce KMG’s net debt and improve its liquidity included an earlier repayment made as part of prepayments for crude oil supplies of TCO.

Financial stability is regularly reviewed by the Finance Committee, prompting in-depth, insightful discussions with a focus on assessing the impact that various oil price scenarios may have on KMG’s liquidity, implementation and financing of significant investment projects, M&A deals, etc. The Finance Committee also addressed the revision of certain covenants under Eurobonds previously issued by KMG. The Finance Committee regularly makes recommendations on various approaches to financial reporting.
