Doriemus to Sell its Interest in Lidsey Oil Field in UK
Doriemus Plc (ASX: DOR)("Doriemus"or the"Company"), today announces it has signed a binding Terms Sheet to sell its 20% interest in the Lidsey Oil Field, on the south coast of the UK to Angus Energy Plc ("Angus Energy") for a consideration 8,324,024 new ordinary shares in Angus Energy to Doriemus, worth approximately $0.6 million at Angus Energy's closing price in London yesterday at 3.9 pence per share at an exchange rate of GBP:AUD of 1.84.
Completion will close on execution of all the required sale and purchase agreements and approval from the UK Government's Oil & Gas Authority. It is expected that these matters will be resolved, and the matter will complete in a number of weeks, at which time Doriemus will provide a further update.
David Lenigas, Doriemus Executive Chairman, commented:
"The completion of this transaction will further strengthen Doriemus' balance sheet, especially when combined with the recent sale of a portion of the Company's Horse Hill interest in the UK, as announced on the 19 February 2019. The sale of this asset to Angus Energy, the Lidsey Oil Field's major shareholder, will allow Doriemus to fund its new potential oil and gas interests in Western Australia with the aim of seeking operatorship of assets as opposed to being a minority passive shareholder of assets. Further rationalisation of the Company's existing portfolio may be considered in future to shift the focus towards this objective."
