Corporate
Update
Notice of General
Meeting
Nostra Terra (AIM: NTOG), the oil
& gas exploration and production company with a portfolio of
development and production assets in Texas, USA, announces the
following.
HIGHLIGHTS
·
Previously shut non-core South Texas assets now
returned to production.
·
Expressions of interest received to acquire these
assets, as the Company accelerates its plans to focus on Pine Mills
operations.
·
New Board commencing a series of material
corporate and marketing initiatives to restore liquidity,
tradability and interest in the Company's shares.
South Texas Asset Update - The
Company's South Texas assets have been shut in since December
2023. These assets, along with those in West Texas, are part
of a divestiture program which will allow NTOG to focus in the near
term on a significant production uplift at its Pine Mills
asset. Currently, several private buyers are expressing
interest in the South Texas assets. In June, these assets were
returned to production and are expected to continue to produce at
current levels until the sale process is complete of 10 bopd (8
bopd net to NTOG). The Company does not plan to make any
additional investments in these assets, but will produce them as
long as it can profitably do so. Net attributable
Company-wide production has increased to 141 bopd as a
result.
Share Trading and Liquidity Improvement
- A General Meeting is being convened for the
purpose of considering certain ordinary and special resolutions
(the "Resolutions") as part of the recently strengthened Board's
ongoing focus on the turnaround of the Company. Specifically,
the aim of the General Meeting is to reorganise the Company's share
capital, the admission of New Ordinary Shares (as defined in the
Circular and with a changed par value) is expected on or around 18
July 2024, to improve liquidity in order to help facilitate trading
in its shares and ultimately to ensure that the Company can
capitalise on the opportunities identified to materially increase
production in the near term for the benefit of all shareholders.
The General Meeting will be held at the offices of Druces LLP at
Salisbury House, London Wall, London EC2M 5PS, at 10.00 a.m. on 17
July 2024. Further information on the General Meeting can be
