takeover being planned? RNS16 Aug 2018 12:36
The Board of Faroe Petroleum plc ("Faroe," "Company," "Board"), the independent oil and gas company focusing principally on exploration, appraisal and production opportunities in Norway and the UK, acknowledges receipt of a request from DNO ASA ("DNO") that a General Meeting of the Company be convened for the purposes of considering a shareholder resolution to appoint Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, Executive Chairman of DNO, and Bjørn Dale, Managing Director of DNO, to the Board ("Proposed Resolutions").

The Board believes that the Proposed Resolutions are wholly self-serving and are part of an undisclosed strategy on DNO and Mr. Mossavar-Rahmani's part to try and gain control of Faroe's business without making an offer to all shareholders at an appropriate premium.
