Development Funding Long-Stop Date

i3 Energy plc, an independent oil and gas company with assets and operations in the UK, is pleased to announce the following update.

Liberator Development Funding Long-Stop Date

On 8 November 2019, the Majority Noteholders agreed to extend the date by which the Company must enter into a reserves based lending facility or find an alternative means of funding to achieve first oil from the Liberator field, to 30 April 2020. As the Company will not be in a position to enter into such a facility by 30 April, the Company is in discussions with all noteholders to waive this condition and expects to provide an update to the market prior to 30 April.
