Currently, two conditions precedent are yet to be fulfilled in order to complete the Transaction, and that is why it is estimated the Transaction is going to take place at the end of July 2022, in compliance with the provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement of all shares issued (representing 100% of the share capital of) ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania Limited (the "Agreement").
The two conditions precedent are the following:
a) Approval or deemed approval by the Supreme Council of National Defence of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
b) Issuance by the Romanian Government of a Decision approving the maintaining of the validity of the Petroleum Agreement, thereby satisfying the requirements of Article 34.5 of the Romanian Petroleum Law, following the notification of the National Agency for Mineral Resources on the Transaction and the change in control of ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania Limited.
We mention that by the Current Report of March 22, 2022 it was estimated that the completion of the Transaction would take place in Q2 of the current year, upon fulfilling the conditions precedent necessary to complete the Transaction, as regulated under the Agreement.
