Kazmunaigas EP Says Cash Flow Stabilises
ALMATY, July 4 (Reuters) - Kazakh oil producer KazMunaiGas Exploration and Production (KMG EP) has stabilised its cash flow, it said on Monday, as oil prices recover.
In a statement on Monday, KMG EP said it was cash flow neutral in May and posted a consolidated net income of 1.793 billion tenge (about $5 million) in January-May. It did not provide a comparative figure for 2015.
Parent company KazMunayGaz (KMG NC) asked KMG EP's minority investors last month to give it greater control over the London-listed upstream subsidiary and said it was necessary for a turnaround in the operational performance of KMG EP.
Independent directors at KMG EP have urged shareholders to vote against the proposal at a meeting in August, saying it would weaken corporate governance.
Kazakhstan's national oil company has a 58 percent stake in KMG EP. Minority shareholders, including Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation, and funds overseen by managers including BlackRock own 34 percent.
