Niel Petroleum US$25 million share acquisition

New World Oil and Gas Plc (New World), the oil and gas operating, exploration and development company focused on Belize and Denmark, recently announced the proposed issue to Niel Petroleum S.A. (Niel Petroleum) of 2,184,897,959 Subscription Shares to Niel Petroleum S.A. for an aggregate consideration of US$25 million or 0.735p per Subscription Share and a proposed loan of US$25million from Niel Petroleum.

Legal adviser to New World Oil and Gas plc:

The proposed deal reflects Niel Petroleum’s strategy to develop a large and diversified portfolio of early stage oil and gas assets principally in Africa, and its intention to grow its business both through organic growth and investment in companies, such as New World, which could be based in Africa, Europe or Central America.

Leading international law firm Holman Fenwick Willan advised Niel Petroleum on the transaction.

New World Oil and Gas Plc is an oil and gas operating company with three highly prospective projects in Belize and Denmark. The company has a highly experienced Board with proven track records in identifying, operating and developing E&P oil and gas projects.

Niel Petroleum is a Luxembourg junior oil and gas company with a geographical focus on the African continent. It was formed to take over the oil and gas business and assets of Niel Natural Resources Investments SA (NNRI) in order to rationalize the NNRI asset base.

Based in Luxemburg, NNRI is an investment company dedicated to the creation of value through exploration and development of natural resources projects. Until recently, NRRI held both Mining and Oil & Gas assets. The split of ownership of the assets between Mining (NNRI) and Oil & Gas (Niel Petroleum) was designed to help manage and create value more efficiently.
