AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
25 November 2013
Eden Extends Date for Satisfaction of Conditions on Contract to Sell UK Gas and Petroleum Assets for £11.5million
Conditional Contract Extended
Perth based Eden Energy Ltd (“Eden”) (ASX Code: EDE) has extended until 13 December 2013 the latest date for satisfaction of the conditions on the conditional agreement, announced to the ASX on 17 September 2013, to sell its entire UK coal seam methane and shale gas portfolio for up £11.467million, to be satisfied by a cash payment of £1,100,000 and with the balance to be paid in fully paid ordinary shares in presently unlisted UK public company Shale Energy PLC (“Shale Energy”).
The main condition remaining outstanding is the requirement for Shale Energy to complete a £7million capital raising. The extension of the date has been agreed in consequence of Shale Energy having secured a contractual commitment from a UK based company to subscribe the entire sum of £7million, that Shale Energy has been advised is hoped to be able to be completed within the next two weeks.
