The Company will continue to monitor the situation and consult with its external legal advisers as to whether the Decree could affect the Company.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Further announcements will be made in due course as appropriate.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n For further information, please contact:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Enwell Energy plc\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tel: 020 3427 3550 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Chris Hopkinson, Chairman\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sergii Glazunov, Chief Executive Officer\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bruce Burrows, Finance Director\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Strand Hanson Limited\n \n \...
