Best wishes, Investor Relations Team, CNOOC Limited
In addition, Rebellion would like to thank the gracious CNOOC IR team for the help. Lastly, we are sad to see these shares leave the US markets. In addition, we wish the delistings were avoided. Furthermore, had the Chinese and US governments worked together, the result would have been better. As a result, of politics, this was not going to happen.
Lastly, you can still trade these shares on the Hong Kong exchange. In addition, Shanghai markets which are accessible from a number of US brokerages.
