News Release
CNOOC elects not to pre-empt sale of assets in Uganda
28 May 2020 - Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces that CNOOC
Uganda Limited (CNOOC) has informed both Tullow and Total that it
will not pre-empt the sale of Tullow's assets in Uganda to
Total.
On 23 April 2020, Tullow announced that it had agreed the sale
of its assets in Uganda to Total and that CNOOC had rights of
pre-emption to acquire 50% of these assets on the same terms and
conditions as Total. CNOOC has now informed Tullow and Total that
it has elected not to exercise its pre-emption rights. Accordingly,
there are no changes to the previously announced transaction or
timeline and Tullow continues to expect the transaction to complete
in the second half of 2020.
The transaction remains subject to a number of conditions,
including approval by Tullow's shareholders, customary government
and other approvals and the execution of a binding tax agreement
with the Government of Uganda and the Uganda Revenue Authority that
reflects the agreed tax principles previously announced. Tullow
will now look to progress the tax agreement following CNOOC's
decision not to pre-empt.
