Well, just a week or so ago they said this after losing close to a billion dollars
Quote:
Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub expressed support for dividend on the company's recent fourth-quarter earnings conference call, saying the company has "flexibility" with its cost structure "to continue to pay our dividend."
Just how flexible did she mean? Like, we're flexible if we need to be or we're really straining to make this dividend. Because if it's the later, that dividend is going away. (I think it's that one.)

Or to put that in internet speak

Oxy stock is at a 10 year low and dropping more today. The outcome of their shareholder meeting will be very interesting today.
I'm giving strong consideration to jumping in with both feet on OXY stock

Hopefully you didn't jump in with both feet.
No...No I did not thank God! Ended up losing it elsewhere this last month instead.

Vicki's statement claims OXY will now enable it to break even on a cash basis with crude trading in the low $30 -a- barrel range. I don't believe that.

I have been in transit today and missed this call. Is Buffet still going to get his preferred dividends. That is about $800m per year.

Pioneer, Concho, Oxy, Diamondback, and Cimarex now have roughly the combined market cap of the Anadarko acquisition price from last year.

Time for a Texags group buy?

Icahn can get 20% ownership by plunking down another $1.5 B right now.... This may turn out to be an epic backfire

Seems to say, if the board does not like you, you have to pay $80 billion. Could be wrong. What a soap opera.

Looks like they made it much more expensive for someone to buy them out. Wow, what a complete cluster.

Wow, talk about a board that has clearly abandoned their fiduciary obligation to provide governance for the betterment of shareholders. OXY should pray that it gets acquired but it sounds like Vicki and her cronies would rather go down swinging than giving in to Icahn. This was the Billy Badass attitude that got them in this mess in the first place.

Hollub made a terrible decision. The transaction never should have happened, and when the asset sales didn't materialize that should have put her on thin ice. Instead, the board is closing ranks even though the clock has run out on their scheme.

" Occidental Petroleum Corp. is nearing a truce with Carl Icahn that would conclude one of the highest-profile corporate clashes of the past year and usher the activist investor into the embattled oil producer's board room as it seeks to recover from a series of setbacks.

Andrew Langham and Nicholas Graziano, two lieutenants of the billionaire investor, would receive seats on Occidental's board under the terms currently being discussed, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Icahn and the company would also mutually agree on a third, independent director, who is likely to be Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. board member Margarita Palu-Hernndez, some of the people said.

As part of the deal, Mr. Icahn would also bless Occidental's plan to bring back Stephen Chazen, its former chief executive, as chairman, as The Wall Street Journal reported this past week.

Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub, who has come under fire from Mr. Icahn, is expected to retain her position."

Dividend was paid in stock; more dilution for OXY shareholders.
