FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
GEOPARK ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE BINDING AGREEMENT
TO ACQUIRE
REPSOL EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION ASSETS IN COLOMBIA
Bogota, Colombia – November 29, 2024 - GeoPark
Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent energy company with over 20 years of
successful operations across Latin America, announced today that the Company has signed Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPAs) with Repsol
Exploración S.A. and Repsol E&P S.A.R.L (collectively, “Repsol”) to acquire Repsol upstream oil and gas assets
in Colombia.
The potential acquisition would incorporate high-quality
assets located in the prolific Llanos Basin, one of Colombia’s most productive oil regions where GeoPark already has a successful
oil-finding track record and is a well-established operator both above and below ground. The agreements include the acquisition of 100%
of Repsol Colombia O&G Limited, which owns a 45% non-operated working interest in the CPO-9 Block in Meta Department (operated by
Ecopetrol with a 55% WI), and Repsol’s 25% interest in SierraCol Energy Arauca LLC (“Llanos Norte”) in Arauca Department.
Together, these assets produced approximately 16,000 boepd net1 to Repsol as of September 2024.
This acquisition firmly fits within GeoPark’s
growth strategy – “North Star”- by securing value accretive access to big competitively advantaged assets, in big plays,
and big proven basins to build and deliver a highly profitable, dependable, and sustainable oil and gas portfolio across Latin America.
The Repsol portfolio in Colombia would provide immediate and long-term production, reserves, and cashflow, with low capital investment
intensity, significant low-risk growth potential and exploration upside. This opportunity also strategically complements GeoPark’s
recent entry into the Vaca Muerta play in Argentina, enabling robust asset, play and country risk diversification well into the next decade.
The consideration for the potential acquisition
at full scope is approximately $530 million, funded through a combination of cash resources and debt, including a non-recourse amortizing
debt facility of up to $345 million, led and arranged by Macquarie Bank Limited, underscoring the security and strong cash generation
profile of the assets. The debt facility is paired up with a robust hedging strategy that underpins debt service and provides price downside
protection.
The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of
certain conditions precedent and customary regulatory approvals, including the waiver or non-execution of the preemptive rights by Repsol’s
current partners. Hence, no assurances can be given about the transaction’s final scope and/or that it will ultimately be completed.
Due to confidentiality terms in the agreement, GeoPark is not able to provide further information to the market on this acquisition until
the transaction is effectively closed, or terminated, as the case may be.
