Update on discussions with Midwestern
San Leon, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas
development and appraisal in Africa and Europe, provides an update
on its discussions with Midwestern Oil and Gas Limited
("Midwestern").
On 3 November 2017, the Company announced that it had received
an indicative proposal that included San Leon acquiring
Midwestern's shares in Midwestern Leon Petroleum Limited ("MLPL").
Whilst not part of the written indicative proposal received by the
Company, discussions included the possibility of an offer, as
defined in the Irish Takeover Code (an "Offer") by Midwestern for
the issued and to be issued share capital of San Leon.
Discussions continue between San Leon and Midwestern about a
transaction that, if concluded, could constitute a Reverse Takeover
under the AIM Rules for Companies. Therefore, the Company's
ordinary shares will remain suspended from trading pending the
termination of these discussions or the publication of an Admission
Document. These discussions may or may not lead to a transaction
being completed between San Leon and Midwestern. However,
Midwestern has now confirmed to the board of San Leon that it does
not intend to make an Offer.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
This announcement is being made with the approval of
Midwestern.
