Deltic Energy Plc ("Deltic" or "the Company")
Selene Deferred Payment Agreement
Deltic announces that it has entered into a deferred repayment agreement (the
"Deferred Repayment Agreement") with Shell U.K. Limited ("Shell") as operator
of the P2437 licence ("Selene"), in relation to the payment of: (i) in
aggregate, £1,530,320, being the sums that have accrued to Deltic's account
in relation to the successful Selene exploration well from April 2025 to
October 2025; and (ii) any further sums accruing to Deltic in relation to
Selene after October 2025 (together the "Deferred Amounts").
Under the Deferred Repayment Agreement, Deltic's payment of the Deferred
Amounts to Shell has been deferred to 27 February 2026, although Deltic may
request extensions of this date for a total of up to nine months, with the
decision to grant any such extensions being at Shell's sole discretion.
The Deferred Repayment Agreement's terms include a non-compounding interest
payable to Shell at the Bank of England Base Rate plus 8% with interest
payable monthly. The Deferred Repayment Agreement is unsecured and contains
customary representations, warranties, undertakings and events of default.
The Deferred Repayment Agreement also contains provisions whereby Shell will
be entitled to require early repayment of the Deferred Amounts 30 days
following a change of control of Deltic; and also where Shell will be entitled
to declare the Deferred Amounts repayable upon Deltic performing an assignment
of its interest in Selene.
Deltic has drawn down the full £2.7 million available to it under the
bridging facility provided by RockRose Energy Limited as part of the proposed
all cash acquisition of Deltic Energy Plc. As of 30 November 2025 Deltic had
unaudited cash of £1.90 million and, as a result of securing the Deferred
Payment Agreement, is funded for working capital purposes until at least
mid-2026.
