Sunda Energy Plc
("Sunda" or "Sunda Energy" or the "Company")
Operational and Corporate Update
Board Appointment
Sunda Energy Plc (AIM: SNDA) is pleased to provide an update on its operational and funding planning with respect to the TL-SO-19-16 Production Sharing Contract (the "Chuditch PSC") in Timor-Leste. The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Rob Collins to the Board of Directors with immediate effect.
Updates Relating to Chuditch PSC:
Drill Funding
As previously announced, Sunda has been engaged in discussions with a number of potential funding partners with an interest in participating in the Chuditch PSC project. As a result of these discussions, the Company has entered into an exclusivity agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement") with a privately-owned Singapore investment company (the "Investor"). The Investor, Pacific LNG Operations Pte Ltd, has a track record of value creation in resource projects in Asia-Pacific.
A meeting was held where the exclusivity agreement was signed by all 3 parties!!!!
The Exclusivity Agreement enables a period of mutual due diligence relating to a potential strategic investment into the Chuditch PSC project that would fund the planned Chuditch field appraisal well. It is anticipated that such investment, should it occur, would be through an equity issuance in a Sunda subsidiary company and not at the Sunda Energy plc level.
