Synergia Energy announces the following update regarding its Cambay PSC (WI: 50%), onshore India.  

Sale of Cambay PSC 50% working interest to Antelopus Selan Energy

The Company and Selan have signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) for the sale of the Company’s 50% working interest in the Cambay PSC for a gross consideration of $14 million, of which $0.5 million has already been received. The SPA calls for an initial payment of $6.5 million (excluding taxes) on completion and a further payment of $7 million before taxes, 12 months after completion.  

The book value of the 50% Working interest in Cambay PSC as at 30 June 2025 was $11.2 million. Operating losses attributable to the asset in the year to 30 June 2025 were $0.5 million.  

The transaction is subject to approval from the Government of India and subject to Selan establishing a bank guarantee for the deferred payment in a format suitable for the Company.  

The  transaction will result in a fundamental change of business in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies; the transaction is subject to shareholder approval. Notice of a General Meeting to approve the transaction is expected to be issued shortly and will include further details. The Notice of General Meeting will also include details of the Company’s intention to seek the cancellation of trading in the Company’s shares on AIM.  

Should shareholder approval for the transaction be given at the General Meeting, the Company will submit a Deed of Assignment to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons for approval of the transfer of the 50% working interest in the Cambay PSC to Selan, which will trigger the completion of the transaction.
