There will be carried out a Rights issue in Independent Oil & Resources PLC (“the Company”). The background for the rights issue is both to enable the Company to take part in an expected restructuring within the Oil & Gas segment, but also to strengthen the Company’s financial options, so that the Company is able to act quickly in order to be able to take advantage of commercial options by acquiring other companies or assets within the company’s main business area against a consideration consisting wholly or partly in shares in the company, and to support current investments.
The Rights Issue comprises an offering of up to 14 166 726 new shares, with a subscription price of NOK 3,50 per share. The Board has decided not to engage any broker house for the Rights Issue, but will carry out the Rights Issue itself.

The Subscription Period in the Offering will last from and including 31 August 2016 to and including 14 September 2016. The book will close at 17:30 hours (Cyprus time) on 14 September 2016 after which no further orders will be accepted.
All shareholders who have received this invitation are invited to actively consider whether they would like to subscribe for New Shares.
Allocation of New Shares will be based on the number of shares subscribed. In case of over-subscription, allocation will be determined based on a pro rata basis on the number of shares held by the shareholder prior to the Offering.
