SDX Energy to Pare Down Interest in Egypt’s South Disouq Concession

Tuesday, February 1, 2022

SDX Energy Plc has announced the proposed disposal of 33% of the shares in the entity that holds its interests across its South Disouq concession and its intention to initiate a share buyback program of up to $3.0 million in H2 2022.

Mark Reid, CEO of SDX, commented: “I am very pleased to announce that we have entered into an agreement to dispose of 33% of our interests in the South Disouq concession for a consideration of $5.5 million, which is a significant premium to the asset’s value within our market capitalization.

“We intend to use the proceeds to initiate a share buyback program of up to $3.0 million in H2 2022 with the remainder to be used for investment into innovative, portfolio growth opportunities which I look forward to updating the market on in due course.

“In summary, this transaction allows us to achieve a number of our strategic objectives.

  • Firstly, it permits us to return capital to our shareholders which has been a long-term goal;
  • Secondly, it provides capital to support growth projects across the portfolio; and
  • Thirdly, it provides a clear value read across of 6.1 pence per share for the full value of South Disouq

“We will retain 67% of our pre-transaction interests in the South Disouq concession, remaining as operator, continuing to benefit from the cash-generation of the fields, while reducing our risk exposure on the two South Disouq exploration wells to be drilled this year.”
