英美资源集团出售刚果资产

据路透社3月24日报道，英美资源集团非洲石油天然气公司(Anglo African Oil & Gas PLC)宣布将其在刚果的资产出售给Zenith 能源公司的新条款。

该交易价值从100万英镑降至80万英镑，现在将全部以现金支付对价，而在最初的交易中，AAOG获得了50万英镑现金和50万英镑的Zenith股票。Zenith 能源公司表示，这笔现金将以10次等额分期的方式付款。

最初，Zenith的交易还附带着一些其他措施，包括Zenith的贷款和买卖期权协议。随后，AAOG将Forum能源的替代融资安排搁置，这样，便将拥有充足的营运资金。新的融资安排计划还将有待股东的批准。

上周，AAOG宣布，Forum已同意为该公司提供15万英镑的中期融资。今年1月，AAOG与Forum达成了一项融资协议，当时AAOG获得了25万英镑。

Anglo African Oil & Gas agrees new terms for Congo divestment

Anglo African Oil & Gas PLC (LON:AAOG) has announced new terms for the divestment of its Congo assets to Zenith Energy Ltd (LON:ZEN).

The top-line deal value reduces to ￡800,000 from ￡1mln, but, the consideration will now be paid entirely in cash, whereas the original deal saw AAOG received ￡500,000 cash and ￡500,000 of Zenith shares. The group said the cash will be paid to AAOG in ten equal instalments.

Originally, the Zenith transaction was accompanied by certain other measures including a loan from Zenith and a put-and-call option agreement.

AAOG has subsequently stuck alternative funding facilities with Forum Energy and, consequently, it expects it will have sufficient working capital.

It noted that the newly amended arrangements will be subject to the approval of shareholders.

Last week, AAOG announced that Forum had agreed to provide ￡150,000 of interim finance for the company.

In January agreed a funding deal with Forum which at that time saw the company receive ￡250,000.
