Maha Energy AB’s (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) subsidiary, Maha Energy Offshore Brasil Ltda. (“Maha Offshore”), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Enauta Participações S.A. (“Enauta”) and 3R Petroleum Óleo e Gás S.A. (“3R Petroleum”) to evaluate the proposal for a transaction, whereby Maha Offshore, in the context of the potential merger of shares being discussed between 3R Petroleum and Enauta, would roll up its 15% holdings in 3R Petroleum Offshore S.A. (“3R Offshore”) (“Roll-Up”) in exchange for shares corresponding to 2.17% of the combined entity resulting from the merger of Enauta’s shares by 3R Petroleum.
3R Petroleum announced on 1 April 2024 that it has received a proposal from Enauta for a transaction between said companies. Maha is a shareholder of 3R Petroleum, holding 5% of 3R Petroleum’s capital stock. In addition, Maha Offshore is a 15% shareholder of 3R Petroleum’s subsidiary, 3R Offshore, which holds operated interests in producing oil and gas clusters Papa Terra and Peroá offshore Brazil. Maha Offshore was subsequently invited to take part of the MoU that defines the understandings of the transaction between 3R Petroleum and Enauta in order to define the understandings regarding the Roll-Up. The Roll-Up is being proposed only to enable the exchange of Maha Offshore 15% interest in 3R Offshore to direct holding in 3R Petroleum, simplifying 3R Petroleum´s corporate structure. As result, the Roll-Up would entail Maha Offshore to receive, in exchange of its 15% interest in 3R Offshore, shares equivalent to 2.17% of the combined entity. A Fairness Opinion will be obtained to evaluate the exchange ratio of Maha’s Roll-Up.
The proposed transaction is subject to customary precedent conditions and any other conditions agreed by the companies, including (i) satisfactory negotiation of definitive transaction documents, which should include customary terms and conditions, (ii) transaction approval by shareholders of 3R Petroleum and Enauta at respective extraordinary general meetings, and (iii) legal and regulatory approvals, including approval from Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense – CADE. Enauta and 3R will have a 30 days period for exclusivity in the discussion of the potential transaction, that could be extended for another 30 days.
