Infinity Energy S.A.
("Infinity Energy" or the "Company")
Potential
Acquisition
The Board of Directors would like to update Shareholders in
respect of the Company’s progress in terms of completing an
acquisition which would represent a reverse takeover under AIM
Rules (“RTO”).
Negotiations have been ongoing between Gerwyn Williams, Chief Executive, and the other
Board members regarding the potential acquisition by the Company of
Transgas Limited (“Transgas”) by means of a share for share
transaction. Transgas is the parent company of South Western
Energy Limited (“SWE”), which holds a number of Petroleum
Exploration and Development Licences (“PEDLs”) across the South
West of England, including
North Somerset and areas to the
north and west of Wytch Farm in Dorset covering a total area of 823.98 sq. km.
Transgas is owned by Gerwyn Williams
and members of his immediate family. SWE holds 100% of the
PEDLs.
The consideration for this potential acquisition (being the
number of consideration shares to be issued by the Company to the
shareholders in Transgas) cannot be agreed until a valuation of
SWE's assets is completed – technical and accounting work has been
commissioned to achieve this.
In order to facilitate the RTO and create a more suitable
corporate structure to support the expansion and growth of the
enlarged Company, the Directors are also proposing to seek
Shareholders’ consent to migrate the domicile of the Company from
Luxembourg to the Island of
Guernsey by means of a reregistration process. The Company has been
advised that this is a relatively straightforward process and has
been carried out numerous times before by other companies.
As previously mentioned, Transgas is owned totally by
Gerwyn Williams and family which
means that the RTO will be a related party transaction under
the AIM Rules.
In the event that agreement is reached between the Company and
Mr Williams, a general meeting of Shareholders will be convened in
order to seek Shareholders consent to the RTO and the re-domicile
of the Company to Guernsey.
The Directors will update Shareholders on progress in relation
to these proposals in due course.
