聽
London, 3 April 2020 - Energean Oil and Gas plc (LSE: ENOG, TASE: 讗谞讗讙), the oil and gas producer focused on the Mediterranean, issues an update on its Edison E&P acquisition.
聽
As previously announced:
聽
路 Energean entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement ("SPA") on 4 July 2019 to acquire Edison E&P S.p.A. ("Edison E&P") from Edison S.p.A. ("Edison"), completion of the SPA being subject to relevant government approvals;
路 Energean and Edison were working together to overcome certain difficulties encountered in obtaining the consent of the Algerian authorities in respect of the Edison E&P assets located in Algeria (the "Algerian Assets"); and
路 in parallel, Energean and Edison were considering an amendment to the SPA to record an appropriate settlement on the total transaction consideration, should the Algerian Assets not be acquired by Energean.
聽
Energean and Edison have entered into a formal amendment to the SPA on 2 April 2020, in which:
聽
路 the Algerian Assets shall be excluded from the scope of the acquisition;
路 in recognition of the exclusion of the Algerian Assets, there will be an adjustment to the total consideration of the acquisition of approximately $150 million (as at the lock-box date of 1st January 2019).
聽
Energean is working to complete the acquisition of Edison E&P as soon as is possible in 2020, subject to the approval of its shareholders and the other relevant governments.聽Thereafter, completion of Energean's agreement for the sale of Edison E&P's UK and Norwegian subsidiaries to Neptune for a consideration of $250 Million plus contingent consideration of up to $30 million (as previously announced), will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable.
