Angus Energy eyes Gulf assets in reverse takeover

LONDON - Angus Energy PLC (AIM:ANGS), a UK-based oil and gas company, announced today that it has entered into a non-binding agreement for a potential reverse takeover involving the acquisition of producing assets in the Gulf of America. The transaction, if completed, would mark a strategic shift for the company, diversifying its operations away from the UK’s challenging energy sector.

The proposed acquisition would significantly increase Angus Energy’s reserves, production, and positive cash flow, positioning the company in a jurisdiction known for stable and reliable oil and gas production. However, the deal is currently non-binding and contingent upon due diligence, funding, and other material considerations. There is no certainty that the transaction will be completed, nor is there a definitive timeline for its potential conclusion.

As per AIM Rules for Companies, trading of Angus Energy’s shares has been suspended effective today due to the nature of the potential reverse takeover under Rule 14. The suspension will remain in place until an admission document is published or the company announces that the deal will not proceed. Shareholders are cautioned that if the shares remain suspended for six months, the admission of the company’s securities could be cancelled.

In addition to this significant development, Angus Energy provided a finance update, confirming that Trafigura has extended the first principal repayment deadline to May 26, 2025, as discussions regarding the restructuring of the company’s finances continue.

This announcement follows recent market speculation and indicates a pivotal moment for Angus Energy as it seeks to transform its business model and expand its operational footprint. The company has stated that further details will be shared with shareholders once binding contracts are entered into and a general meeting is convened for shareholder approval in accordance with AIM Rules.

This news is based on a press release statement and reflects the company’s current intentions and strategic considerations. Investors and stakeholders are advised to monitor further announcements for detailed information regarding the potential transaction and its implications for Angus Energy’s future operations and market position.
