08 December 2017
San Leon, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas development and appraisal in Africa and Europe, provides an update on its discussions with Midwestern Oil and Gas Limited (“Midwestern”).
On 3 November 2017, the Company announced that it had received an indicative proposal that included San Leon acquiring Midwestern’s shares in Midwestern Leon Petroleum Limited (“MLPL”). Whilst not part of the written indicative proposal received by the Company, discussions included the possibility of an offer, as defined in the Irish Takeover Code (an “Offer”) by Midwestern for the issued and to be issued share capital of San Leon.
Discussions continue between San Leon and Midwestern about a transaction that, if concluded, could constitute a Reverse Takeover under the AIM Rules for Companies. Therefore, the Company’s ordinary shares will remain suspended from trading pending the termination of these discussions or the publication of an Admission Document. These discussions may or may not lead to a transaction being completed between San Leon and Midwestern. However, Midwestern has now confirmed to the board of San Leon that it does not intend to make an Offer.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
