Pennpetro Energy Plc ( (GB:PPP) ) just unveiled an update.
Pennpetro Energy has signed a Loan Release Deed with Petroquest that removes about $5 million of debt from its balance sheet by discharging all liabilities under a Petroquest loan in exchange for Petroquest receiving 51% of the equity in Pennpetro USA Corp. As a result, the U.S. subsidiaries will cease to be consolidated into Pennpetro’s accounts, while board changes at Pennpetro USA Corp give the company and Petroquest renewed control over related subsidiaries and bank accounts in the United States.
The company and Petroquest will form a new joint venture to secure a newly negotiated Chalk Talk A-1H lease, settle previously unpaid royalties, and potentially reverse prior impairments on the well assets. Funded via an RMD Group loan to Pennpetro and repaid from production revenues, the JV will allocate 51% of profits to Pennpetro and 49% to Petroquest once the loan is repaid, aiming to restore production, repair the company’s reputation in Texas, and improve terms for shareholders compared with earlier abandoned arrangements.
