After Chairman Mitchell sold his own stake in Viking Services to a third party, his affiliate Dalea Investment Group set up a new entity, PSIL, to take over the equipment and oilfield-services relationship with the company on similar terms - the insider-linked services chain simply changed hands rather than ending.
Borrowed against a new $5 million convertible note from ANBE Holdings - an entity owned by Chairman Mitchell's children - at 13% interest, deepening the company's reliance on the Mitchell family for financing as public capital markets stayed shut to it.
Launched a process to sell its Albania assets and operations - barely a year after acquiring them in the Stream deal - as it looked to raise cash amid the prolonged oil price downturn.
Issued a second round of warrants to Mitchell for extending the same Gundem resort pledge, at a lower exercise price reflecting the falling share price.
Issued warrants to Chairman Mitchell personally as compensation for pledging his stake in a Turkish resort (through Gundem Turizm) to secure an extension on one of the company's Turkish bank facilities - the company was now leaning on the chairman's personal real estate to keep its financing in place.
Completed the note offering at $55.0 million total and exchanged the notes for registered Exchange Notes under a formal indenture - closing out an expensive financing round taken right as the oil price crash was deepening.

Closed the Stream Oil & Gas acquisition, gaining three onshore oil fields and a natural gas concession in Albania covering about 75,000 net acres - though Viking International, still linked to Chairman Mitchell, already held a services relationship and a promissory note with Stream.
Detailed the Stream Oil & Gas deal terms: up to $41.2 million in newly issued shares (0.04812 shares per Stream share, plus a contingent 0.00845 more if certain Albanian license amendments came through), structured as an arm's-length Canadian plan of arrangement.
Signed an equipment-yard services agreement with Viking International (now roughly half-owned by Chairman Mitchell's family) for yards in Turkey, continuing to route oilfield logistics through insider-linked entities even after the 2012 divestment.
