SDX ENERGY PLC ("SDX" or the "Company")

GAS PREPAYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Highlights

·    Gas Prepayment Heads of Terms ("HoT") agreed with Citic Dicastal subsidiary, DIKA MOROCCO AFRICA ("DMA"), for Q4 gas supplies

·    Prepayment amount of c. $2million planned to be drawn down by 30 September 2023

·    Additional HoT for a larger prepayment transaction to be agreed and planned to be drawn down by early 2024

 

The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding HoT with DMA, its largest offtaker, to prepay for SDX's gas deliveries in Morocco. The initial terms of the agreement envisage draw down of c. $2 million by the end of September 2023. These funds are planned to be used towards the drilling costs of the KSR-21 well.

A further heads of terms for a larger prepayment amount is currently under negotiation and is expected to be agreed and funds drawn by early 2024. The Company plans to direct this second prepayment towards funding a further multi-well back-to-back drilling programme. As mentioned in the Company's announcement of 4 September 2023, this type of back-to-back drilling, which allows development of gas behind pipe (booked reserves), further increases operational efficiency, reduces costs and ensures that immediate and future demand can be met.

The Company also announces that it has drawn down a further $500k from the Convertible Loan, as announced on 27 July 2023. 

Daniel Gould, the Managing Director, commented:

"These Heads of Terms testify to the deepening of the long-standing partnership between SDX and DMA, as well as Citic Dicastal more broadly.  SDX has been supplying gas to DMA in Morocco for over five years and is committed to continuing to be a sustainable partner for its energy needs. This partnership is mutually beneficial for SDX, DMA, and supports the growth of industry in Morocco."
