PER, which I own, would be very likely better served by new leadership at Sandridge by the ouster of Tom Ward and his minion stacked BOD.

1. Does anyone think the price of PER increase with a change in leadership at Sandridge? ; and, Would effective and aggressive drilling of the trusts additional wells create more shareholder value in the near term?

I dont see SD pushing it, they will probably just stick to the schedule. They will make more money deploying their capital to pure SD wells than going above and beyond the script in PER.

Under the sell or breakup of sd how would these trusts be handled? Not sure what to expect from a selling of the company if that happened.

PER and SDR are much better off with SD than the uncertainty of
new trustees and management.

Clayton is very likely on target. However, the current management is running SD (and therefore the various trusts) as if it were their personal "piggy bank".

The valuation of PER has declined because of management's financial actions and governance confidence issues and if SD "tanks" PER will go with it.

I would think that anyone that's long SD, PER, etc. would want many improvements in management, governance and the BOD to raise the market valuations. The best way to raise the valuation of PER is to increase its EPS which means more production.
