Recommencement of Share Buyback Programme
As set out in the interim results announced today and further to
the announcements made on 8 July and 2 September 2019, Gulf
Keystone announces its intention to re-commence its share buyback
programme (the "Buyback Programme").
The Company, starting immediately, will make market purchases
for the remaining $10 million of Gulf Keystone common shares (the
"Final Amount") bringing the total amount to be repurchased under
the Buyback Programme to $25 million.
The Buyback Programme is aligned with the Company's focus on
capital allocation and will be an accretive use of funds whilst not
impacting the Company's ability to continue the execution of its
existing investment programme. The Buyback Programme will be
executed in accordance with the Company's general authorities to
make on market purchases which was approved by shareholders at the
Company's AGM on 21 June 2019.
The Company entered into an agreement with its brokers Canaccord
Genuity Limited ("Canaccord Genuity") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel
Hunt") (together the "Brokers") to carry out purchases of the Final
Amount under the Buyback Programme on its behalf on an irrevocable
and non-discretionary basis. The Brokers will make their trading
decisions under the Buyback Programme independently of, and
uninfluenced by, the Company.
The Buyback Programme will be carried out on the London Stock
Exchange and will be effected within certain pre-set parameters,
including the safe harbour provisions set out in the Market Abuse
Regulation 596/2014 ("MAR") the Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2016/1052 and the applicable laws and regulations of the
London Stock Exchange. The Buyback Programme will be undertaken
until the earlier of the Final Amount being repurchased or the 2020
AGM. Any shares repurchased will be held in treasury.
The Company will make announcements in due course following the
completion of any share repurchases.
