Curzon Energy Plc

("Curzon" or the "Company")
Sale of Corporate Debt and Corporate Update
 
Curzon Energy Plc (LON:CZN) the London Stock Exchange listed oil and gas development company, has been informed by YA Global Investments, LP ("YA"), of the sale of its outstanding debt due to YA, to C4 Energy Ltd ("C4") a UK incorporated private company.  The current balance of the loan agreement is US$200,000 with approximately US$32,000 of accrued interest.
Secured Loan Notes
Separately, the Company remains in discussions with the lenders of £200,000 of secured loan notes, as most recently announced on 18 October 2019.  The Company expects to reach an agreement on a refinancing with the lenders of these notes in due course.
 
Corporate Update
Following a period of discussions between key stakeholders and investors in the business, the Directors have resolved to enlarge the focus of the Company to potentially include sectors outside of the energy sector.
The Directors have identified a number of attractive opportunities available for Curzon to potentially participate in and, following further evaluation, additional announcements will follow as appropriate.  At this stage, there can be no assurance that these opportunities will lead to any transaction but the Directors remain committed to completing a transaction in the near term.
In light of these developments and overarching market conditions in the junior oil and gas space, the Company has ended discussions around a transaction with Pared Energy in Texas, as most recently announced on 27 September 2019.
