TERMINATION OF SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
GEORGINA ENERGY PLC (LSE: GEX), announces that it has received formal notice
of termination of the share purchase agreement dated 11 November 2025 (and as
subsequently amended) (the "SPA") from Central Petroleum Limited (the
"Counterparty") following the failure of the parties to agree amendments to
the terms of the SPA.
Background
On 11 November 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into the SPA
with the Counterparty pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the
entire issued share capital of certain of the Counterparty's subsidiaries (the
"Acquisition"). Completion of the Acquisition was conditional upon the
fulfilment or waiver of certain conditions (the "Conditions").
As previously announced on 25 March 2026, the Company and the Counterparty had
been negotiating the amendment of the terms of the Acquisition and waiver of
certain of the Conditions thereto in light of, inter alia, the Company's
planned financing arrangements and other changes to the terms of the
Acquisition.
Notice of Termination
The Company announces that, on 6 May 2026, it received formal written notice
from the Counterparty seeking to exercise its right to terminate the SPA with
immediate effect as a result of the parties being unable to reach agreement on
the proposed terms of such amendments to the SPA.
As a consequence of the termination of the SPA, the Acquisition will not
proceed and all obligations of the parties thereunder (save for those
expressed to survive termination) are of no further force or effect.
Consequences of Termination
The Company will continue to pursue its strategic objectives and the Board
will make further announcements as and when appropriate.
