If the deal goes through, Warrego shareholders would own approximately 30.5% of the combined entity. Warrego would have the right to appoint one board member to the board of the combined group.
Warrego in a separate statement said the proposal is at a sufficient level to merit further review and it intends to grant due diligence access to Strike. Warrego is also undertaking due diligence on Strike in order to determine whether to recommend a transaction to its shareholders.
Strike and Warrego are partners in EP469 in Perth basin. Strike is also Warrego’s largest independent shareholder.
