According to "The Currency," a business and finance publication, there was an article published on June 13th, 2025, titled "San Leon Energy shapes up for a fresh legal strike" by Francesca Comyn. This article states that the oil and gas explorer, led by Oisin Fanning, is facing a new legal contest following its investment dispute with Tri Ri Asset Management.

While I don't have direct access to the full text of the Irish Sunday Times from June 15th, 2025, it's highly probable that the news regarding San Leon in that edition would have covered or followed up on this development from June 13th, given the timing and the ongoing nature of San Leon's legal challenges.

Therefore, the key news regarding San Leon in the Irish Sunday Times around June 15th, 2025, would likely be:

* New High Court action: San Leon Energy has initiated a new High Court action against Brightwaters Energy Ltd, a Nigerian-registered company offering onshore and offshore construction services. This suggests an expanding legal front for San Leon beyond its dispute with Tri Ri Asset Management.

* Ongoing legal challenges: The article in "The Currency" emphasizes that this is part of a series of legal battles involving San Leon and Oisin Fanning, stretching across New York, Dublin, and London. This includes the earlier mentioned dispute with Tri Ri Asset Management and a separate case against Tenn Capital.

In summary, the most recent news suggests that San Leon is continuing to be heavily involved in legal proceedings, with a new High Court action against Brightwaters Energy Ltd adding to their existing legal disputes.

San Leon Energy's refinancing efforts have been ongoing and have faced various challenges. Here's a summary of the latest information, keeping in mind that the company's shares were suspended from trading on AIM as of July 1, 2024, due to delays in publishing accounts and completing refinancing:

Key Updates and Challenges:

* Ongoing Refinancing Plans: San Leon has been actively pursuing refinancing to fund further investments in Energy Link Infrastructure (Malta) Limited ("ELI") and to settle its outstanding creditors.

* Previous Funding Issues: The company previously announced that funds would not be forthcoming from Tri Ri Asset Management Corp. ("TRAM"), and San Leon has been exploring its options in relation to TRAM's breach of contract. Recently, San Leon secured a temporary €50 million freezing order against TRAM.

* Legal Actions: San Leon has been involved in legal disputes, including a recent High Court action against Brightwaters Energy Ltd and an ongoing situation with Ocean Pearl regarding an acquisition. These legal issues can add complexity to refinancing efforts.

* Increased ELI Funding Requirements: ELI's funding requirements have increased since October 2023, which has been factored into the current refinancing negotiations.

* Outstanding Creditors: San Leon has numerous outstanding trade creditors (around US$25 million in aggregate) who have been exerting increasing pressure, including legal letters. The expectation of funds from the refinancing has been providing some reassurance to these creditors.

* Toscafund Loan: A US$5.0 million loan from Toscafund Asset Management LLP remains outstanding and continues to accrue interest at 10% per annum. Toscafund, which owns 75% of San Leon's Ordinary Shares, remains supportive.

* AIM Suspension and Future Listing: Due to the delays in publishing accounts and concluding the refinancing, San Leon's shares were suspended from trading on AIM on July 1, 2024. The company has stated its firm intention to undertake a listing, either in the UK or on an international stock exchange, in the second half of this year (2024) to restore liquidity for its shareholders.

* Midwestern Transactions: Documentation regarding proposed transactions with Midwestern, including approximately US$140 million of outstanding loan notes, is at an advanced stage.

Current Outlook:

San Leon's management remains optimistic, with the CEO stating in a previous announcement that they believe they are "close to achieving our objectives through our refinancing plans." However, there's no certainty that the current refinancing plans will be concluded, or as to the timescale for completion or final terms.

Investors should continue to monitor official announcements from San Leon Energy for the most up-to-date and definitive information on their refinancing.

I can't locate the article - but I asked "Gemini" on my android phone it gave an excellent review of our current situation but it did read like "old news" - can anyone post a link to the latest news item.

Sam245, Reference your recent uninformative 7-point post. What exactly was the point you were making, but thanks for limiting your threats and profanity to posters while you were in the process of informing us of nothing concerning the company. I noted you have taken to posting on behalf of Bluepill, do you have relationships off the board as well as closely working in tandem on the board - strange you're both sounding like a now long dead Alaric clone - hopefully you will soon join him posting-wise, that is - rest in peace.

Pizzagate - Thanks for the "released" Irish Times news, which is a tad depressing, if I might say so. What on earth is OF playing at?

BR and your last couple of posts totally lack any news with regard to SLE but you "joyfully" denigrate others who posts why don't you practice some self restraint man or is it the only thing you have to do in life all rather sad dear fellow.

Nigeria continues to clean up their oil industry - it has to be good for everyone including foreign investors such as ourselves.

Plantir seem worth holding if we can complete the share swop even better if we could have completed earlier this year.

What are we going to achieve with only US50 Mio it's probably only going to clear existing debt on Eli?

German bond was to cover US500 Mio and OF was expecting originally US250 Mio from Tram, go figure🤔

Tri Ri intends to defend the case vigorously, and has in correspondence seen by The Sunday Times claimed that San Leon had made claims of access to a €500 million German state bond, which Tri Ri alleges “turned out to be untrue”. San Leon denies this.

MMM🤔 interesting looking forward to the outcome.

NNPCL - Aka the bete noire of Nigeria - has it's entire board removed by the President of Nigeria, now at last same change will be under way in the moribund oil and gas industry of Nigeria, specifically in our area the Niger Delta.

"They have also been involved in acts of intimidation, including in making physical threats to my person, he claimed." Quote from Fanning's statement in the Irish Times.

- Tram seems to be an "active" company to say the least !

No way - the only thing I am interested in at this point is my money back I need SLE at UKP 1.20

Apologises for the double posting Windows 11 seems to be jumping about the place - like the real world.

BR - Only having some fun to relieve the boredom - here is the TRI- RI.

When I first read about the TR-RI I thought why on earth does a company like this want to put money into Nigeria - does Tosca have some hold over them?

One industry analyst has said shareholders were now likely to be confident that San Leon could ultimately achieve a $1bn valuation, with an additional listing in Abu Dhabi expected to form part of its plans.
