Savannah Petroleum PLC
("Savannah" or "the Company")
Signature of Loan Facility
Savannah Petroleum PLC, the British independent oil & gas
company focused around activities in Niger and Nigeria, is pleased
to announce it has entered into an unsecured loan facility (the
"Facility") with an initial tranche of US$5m expected to be drawn
immediately (the "Principal Amount").
The key terms of the Facility are as follows:
-- Fixed interest premium of 7% payable on the Principal Amount
(and any future amounts drawn), to be paid at maturity ("Interest
Premium");
-- Principal Amount and associated Interest Premium can be
repaid at any point up until the initial loan maturity date of 17
January 2020 (the "Maturity Date"), by which point they are to be
fully repaid;
-- In the event that the Facility has not been fully repaid
prior to the Maturity Date, or the Company has announced that it
has permanently decided not to proceed with the Seven Energy
Transaction, any amounts due and outstanding can be converted at
the Facility provider's discretion (in varying amounts in one or
more conversions). The conversion price shall equal, at the
election of the Facility provider, either:
o The lower of (a) 125% of the 10-day volume weighted average
price ("VWAP") as at the date of the Facility agreement; and (b)
125% of the 10-day VWAP as at 16 January 2020; or
o 93% of the lowest daily VWAP of the 7 business days preceding
the date of the conversion notice issued to the Company by the
Facility provider
-- Subject to mutual agreement between Savannah and the Facility
provider, an additional tranche of up to US$5m is available to be
drawn within a 2 year period, such further tranche expected to be
made available on similar terms as the initial Principal
Amount.
The Facility is being provided by funds managed by Riverfort
Global Capital Ltd. and Yorkville Advisors Global, LP and provides
Savannah with additional liquidity to fund working capital and
general corporate purposes ahead of the planned completion of the
Seven Energy Transaction (expected to occur significantly in
advance of the Maturity Date), when, as confirmed in previous
announcements, the Company expects a cash inflow of US$74m.
Further updates in relation to outstanding conditions precedent
in relation to the Transaction, and Transaction completion, will be
published as appropriate. Completion will be followed in due course
by the publication of a Supplemental Admission Document.
Isatou Semega-Janneh, CFO of Savannah Petroleum, said:
"We are very pleased to have accessed this loan facility which
increases our liquidity and provides Savannah with access to
additional capital ahead of the upcoming completion of the Seven
Energy Transaction. Following the signature of the Frontier
Transaction documentation, we continue to make good progress with
the remaining completion workstreams, including the Seven Energy
financial restructuring, and look forward to providing further
updates in the coming weeks."
The Seven Energy Transaction refers to the planned acquisition
by Savannah of the Seven Assets and the restructuring of Seven
Energy's existing indebtedness, as more fully described in the
Company's Admission Document dated 22 December 2017 and per the
Company's RNS announcements dated 20 September 2018 (specifically
relating to the gas for oil swap with Frontier Oil Limited and the
buy-out of minority shareholders in Universal Energy Resources
Limited) and 21 December 2018 (specifically relating to the
acquisition of an additional 60% interest in Accugas as well as the
sale of a 20% (less one share) interest in SUGL and Accugas to
AIIM). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms in this
announcement are per the above Admission Document and RNS
announcements.
