Beetaloo Sub-Basin Interests
Falcon Oil & Gas
Ltd.(“Falcon” or
“Company”)
Origin Energy Announces Divestment
of Beetaloo Sub-Basin
Interests
19 September 2022 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
(TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) (“Falcon” or the
“Company”) notes the media release issued today by
its c. 98% subsidiary, Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited’s
joint venture partner, Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”)
relating to the divestment of their 77.5% interest in the Beetaloo
Sub-basin exploration permits.
Under the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement
entered into with Origin and announced on 2 May 2014 (as amended),
Falcon Australia has a right of first refusal which allows it to
notify Origin (within 30 days of any proposed change of control) of
Falcon’s intention to acquire Origin’s 77.5% interest in the
Beetaloo joint venture. The Board is reserving its legal position
in respect of those rights. In the event that the Company seeks to
exercise its rights under the Joint Operating Agreement, this would
be classified as a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM
Rules for Companies. The Board will now consider the impact of the
decision by Origin on Falcon and will then decide what, if any,
actions it intends to take. There is no guarantee that the Company
will exercise such rights or that any transaction will occur.
Further information will be disclosed in due
course.
Ends.
