Trinity Exploration & Production plc
("Trinity" or "the Group" or "the Company")
Further Share Buyback
Trinity Exploration & Production plc (AIM: TRIN), the
independent E&P company focused on Trinidad and Tobago ,
announces that it intends to conduct on-market purchases under a
third share buyback programme (the "Programme") pursuant to the
shareholder authorities obtained at the Company's last annual
general meeting held on 29 June 2022 ("AGM") to return up to US$ 1
million to shareholders of the Company. Under the Programme the
maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares of US$ 0.01 each
("Ordinary Shares") that can be purchased is 3,215,943 Ordinary
Shares (which represents approximately 10 per cent of the Company's
issued share capital at the time of the AGM less 672,000 Ordinary
Shares repurchased by the Company under the buyback programme
announced on 20 September 2022 and 760,000 Ordinary Shares
repurchased by the Company under the buyback programme announced on
24 October 2022).
The Board of Trinity still considers the Company's current
market capitalisation does not reflect an appropriate valuation for
the Company. In addition to its commitment to operational delivery,
as announced in the Interim Results announced on 20 September 2022,
it is the Company's intention to implement a new Capital Allocation
Policy which is likely to include the payment of a regular dividend
and a share buy-back programme. These initial share buyback
programmes confirm that intent to further deliver value to the
Company's shareholders.
The Programme, which will be funded from the Company's existing
cash resources, will take place within the limitations of the
authority granted by shareholders to the Board of Trinity at the
AGM. The Programme will commence with immediate effect and will,
unless terminated at an earlier date, expire at the conclusion of
the 2023 AGM, or 30 June 2023, whichever is earlier (the "Expiry
Date").
The minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for
each ordinary share is US$ 0.01; the maximum price (exclusive of
expenses) which may be paid for any Ordinary Share shall not exceed
the higher of: (i) 5 per cent above the average middle market price
of the Ordinary Shares on AIM, a market operated by the London
Stock Exchange plc ("AIM") for the 5 business days immediately
preceding the date on which the Company agrees to buy the shares
concerned; and (ii) the price of the last independent trade of any
Ordinary Share and the highest independent current bid for an
Ordinary Share on AIM at the time the purchase is carried out. In
exercising this authority, the Company may purchase shares using
any currency, including British pounds sterling ("GBP" or "GBP"),
United States Dollars ("US$") and Euros ("EUR").
Share purchases will take place in open market transactions and
may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share
price, trading volume and other factors. The Company has appointed
Cenkos Securities Plc to manage the Programme and make market
purchases of Ordinary Shares on its behalf, independently of the
Company.
Trinity intends to put the repurchased Ordinary Shares into
treasury.
The Company has determined that in conducting the Programme it
will not rely on the safe harbour conditions for trading set out in
Article 3(2) and Article 3(3) of the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (which forms part of domestic UK law
pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) given the
limited liquidity in the Ordinary Shares and limitations that the
conditions would impose on the number of Ordinary Shares that can
be purchased and, as such, the Company may purchase on any trading
day materially in excess of 25 per cent of the average daily volume
in the 20 trading days preceding the date on which the purchase is
carried out.
Purchases may continue during any closed period to which the
Company is subject to from the date of this announcement to the
Expiry Date.
There is no guarantee that the Programme will be implemented in
full or that any purchases will be made.
As at the time of this announcement, the Company's total issued
share capital consists of Ordinary Shares with one voting right per
share. Trinity holds 1,432,000 of its Ordinary Shares in treasury
and has 39,884,637 Ordinary Shares in issue (including treasury
shares). Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be
38,452,637.
The above figure of 38,452,637 Ordinary Shares may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
