Savannah Energy PLC
("Savannah" or the "Company")
SPA Signed with Société Nationale Des Hydrocarbures
Savannah Energy PLC, the British independent energy company
focused around the delivery of Projects that Matter in Africa, is
pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Savannah
Midstream Investment Limited ("SMIL"), has signed a Share Purchase
Agreement ("SPA") with the national oil company of Cameroon,
Société Nationale Des Hydrocarbures ("SNH"), relating to the sale
by SMIL and purchase by SNH of 10% of the issued share capital (the
"Shares") in Cameroon Oil Transportation Company S.A. ("COTCo")
(the "Transaction").
COTCo owns and operates the 903km Cameroon section of the
Chad-Cameroon export pipeline, the Kome Kribi 1 floating storage
and offloading facility and related infrastructure. The pipeline
has a 250 Kbopd nameplate capacity and is the only international
export route for oil production in Chad. During 2022, COTCo
transported an average of 124 Kbopd of crude oil valued at an
estimated US$4.6bn at the prevailing Brent crude oil prices.
In consideration for the sale of the Shares, SNH will pay a cash
consideration of US$44.9 million (the "Consideration") to SMIL. The
Consideration, when received, will be used by the Savannah group
for part repayment of existing debt facilities.
Completion of the transfer of the Shares from SMIL to SNH will
result in SMIL shareholding in COTCo reducing from 41.06% to
31.06%. Completion shall occur upon satisfaction of certain
conditions precedent related to amendments to the bylaws of COTCo
and is expected to occur in H2 2023. SMIL will retain the right to
the dividend attaching to the Shares until the date of payment of
the Consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, SNH and SMIL have pledged,
inter alia, their support of one another as shareholders in
COTCo.
