Diversified Gas & Oil PLC (AIM: DGOC), a US based gas and oil producer, announced on 5 May 2017 that it had entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement to acquire certain gas and oil assets of Titan Energy, LLC (the "Acquisition").
The Company stated that the Acquisition will constitute a reverse takeover in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and is subject to approval by DGO shareholders. Accordingly, the Company's ordinary shares were suspended from trading on AIM and will remain suspended until a new AIM admission document has been published.

This exercise is now expected to be completed in mid-June 2017. Upon publication of the new AIM Admission Document the Board expects that trading in the Company's ordinary shares on AIM will resume, with the only remaining conditionality relating to the closing of the Acquisition being DGO shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held on or before 30 June 2017.
The Company is also pleased to confirm that the Company's preliminary results for the year to 31 December 2016 are expected to be announced on 7 June 2017.
The Company will update shareholders with further information as appropriate.
