Highlights

Finding value with complementary Wintershall Dea assets Delivering on growth strategy

Fixed consideration of USD 117.5 million with additional contingent payment structure subject to oil price and oil production during 2022-242

35.2% operated working interest (WI) in Brage; Partner-operated

6.4615% WI in Ivar Aasen and 6.0% WI in Nova

80% of Brage decommissioning cost retained by Wintershall Dea

13.2 mmboe 2P reserves and 10.6 mmboe 2C resources1; 33% increase in OKEA's 2022E exit production

Annual cost synergies estimated to USD 4–7 million across OKEA's operated assets; Significant production upside potential at Brage to be realised through infill drilling

1) OKEA estimates

2) The contingent consideration will be paid if the average oil price for each of the six half year periods during 2022-24 exceeds USD 80/bbl and the aggregated net oil production volumes exceeds certain predefined production levels. The split on the price exceeding 80 USD/bbl is 70% net after tax to Wintershall Dea and 30% to OKEA in 2022 and a 50/50 net after tax split in 2023-24.
