Tom Evans, Pennpetro's CEO, comments, "This placing has been completed out of our existing available headroom of 9.059 million shares. I feel the Company is now making solid headway with getting our accounts up to date and look forward to the lifting of the suspension in our shares shortly, once the auditors finalise their review."
"With respect to the oil re-vitalisation program in Texas, I am very pleased that the incoming President of the USA is pro oil drilling, and to this extent I advise that our new Texas operator, Globalvision have now completed their technical studies on the Pennpetro assets at Gonzales County and have advised the Company that the work-over rig is scheduled to arrive on site in the weeks after US Thanksgiving to commence oil production works on an accelerated development program."

These 6,000,000 shares attached to the £360,000 placing announced on 1 August 2024 have been issued, and as announced in the RNS of 1 August 2024, will only be admitted to trading following the lifting of the shares from suspension.
