Petrogrand and Shelton Petroleum: Transaction Time Plan Announced
Further to the shareholder approval of the agreement between Petrogrand and Shelton Petroleum, Petrogrand announces an indicative time plan for the completion of the transaction.
As previously announced, extraordinary shareholders’ meetings in both Petrogrand and Shelton Petroleum on 9 November 2015 approved an agreement between the two companies. As part of this agreement, Shelton Petroleum will acquire Petrogrand’s ownership in Sonoyta, holding USD 4 million and Petrogrand’s 49% stake in its Russian oil assets, for a consideration to be paid in Shelton Petroleum shares. Prior to this, Shelton Petroleum will distribute its Ukrainian operations to its shareholders and these operations are therefore not included in the transaction with Petrogrand.
