("Zoltav" or the "Company")

 

Update Re. Loan Agreement

 

Zoltav (AIM: ZOL), the Russia-focused oil and gas exploration and production company, announces that the terms of the loan agreement entered into with ARA Capital Holdings Limited and announced on 14 July 2020 (the "Loan") have been amended so as to extend the final repayment date to 31 December 2020 (the "Loan Extension") (unless otherwise extended or converted into equity by mutual agreement). All other terms of the Loan remain unchanged.

 

As previously announced, management are continuing to hold discussions with a number of prospective providers of project finance for developing East Bortovoy. In the event the Company takes a positive final investment decision on this project in due course, it is currently envisaged that the Loan would be restructured in order to facilitate any required equity contribution to the project or a part thereof.

 

ARA Capital Holdings Limited is the parent company of ARA Capital Limited - both entities combined own 44.1 percent of the issued share capital of the Company. ARA Capital Holdings Limited and ARA Holdings Limited are therefore regarded as related parties as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies. The Loan Extension is a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The directors of Zoltav consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and reasonable as far as shareholders are concerned.
