Parex Resources ( (TSE:PXT) ) has issued an announcement.

Parex Resources Inc. has proposed to acquire GeoPark by offering $9.00 per share in cash, representing a significant premium over GeoPark’s current share price. Despite the attractive offer, GeoPark’s Board has rejected the proposal, prompting Parex to acquire an 11.8% stake in GeoPark to push for shareholder engagement. Parex criticizes GeoPark’s decision to pursue a risky investment in Argentina instead of accepting the cash offer, which Parex believes would provide immediate value to GeoPark shareholders. Parex remains open to negotiations, hoping the GeoPark Board will reconsider its stance.
