In line with its investment policy in 2018, Scirocco undertook a minor investment in Corallian through the subscription for 83,333 shares at a price of £1.50 per share. Scirocco notes the price of up to £3.20 per share will be paid to Corallian shareholders as a combination of initial cash plus contingent payments offering a profitable exit with up to £267k of proceeds net to Scirocco (based on estimated £3.20 per share).
Commenting on the update, CEO Tom Reynolds said:
"Following the disposal of Ruvuma interest announced on 13 June 2022 and approved by shareholders on 29th June 2022, this represents another example of Scirocco converting historical investments in oil & gas back into cash for reinvestment in support of Sirocco's Investment Policy approved by shareholders at AGM in July 2021. The proceeds of this legacy investment will strengthen the Company's financial position and provide more optionality to consider the compelling investment opportunities currently being screened by our Joint Venture EAG."
