Share Purchase Agreements signed with Sonangol entities
In July 2023, the Company signed two Share Purchase Agreements with its partner Sonangol EP for (i) the acquisition of Sonangol's equity shares in the lease and operating entities related to FPSOs N’goma, Saxi Batuque and Mondo; and (ii) the full divestment to a Sonangol subsidiary of the Company’s equity shares in the parent company of the Angolan based Paenal Yard. Those agreements remain conditional upon several conditions precedent, including consent from clients, lenders, partners and approval by various competent authorities. Therefore, there was no impact considered in the current period from these share purchase agreements.
