PetroNor announces further extension to complete purchase of Aje in Nigeria

The original date was initially extended to 30 June 2021, as per the announcement on 31 December 2020. But due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its challenges, the progress has taken longer than expected. The Company and Panoro have agreed a three-month extension to gain the required authorisation of the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resources and the consent of the Nigerian minister of petroleum resources to complete the transaction.

The amended long stop date to complete the Transaction is now 30 September 2021.

All other terms and conditions of the transaction will remain unchanged.
