Ithaca Energy Enters into Exclusivity Agreement for Potential Transformational Combination with Eni's UK Business Ithaca Energy plc (LSE:ITH) announced that it has entered into an exclusivity agreement (the ‘Exclusivity Agreement’) in relation to a potential transformational combination with substantially all of Eni S.p.A. (BIT:ENI)’s (‘Eni’) UK upstream assets including the recently acquired Neptune Energy (Neptune Energy Group Limited) assets, excluding certain assets including Eni's CCUS and Irish sea assets (the ‘Potential Combination’). Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, Eni has granted Ithaca Energy exclusivity in respect of the assets, the subject of the Potential Combination, for a period of 4 weeks from the date of this announcement. Ithaca Energy and Eni have entered into the Exclusivity Agreement to allow time to separately progress the contractual documentation required in connection with the Potential Combination. Key highlights of the Potential Combination: Eni will contribute its UK business in exchange for the issuance of new Ithaca Energy shares to Eni, with Eni anticipated to hold between 38% and 39% of the enlarged issued share capital of Ithaca Energy following completion; Eni has a well-diversified asset base across 4 key hubs: Elgin Franklin, J-Area, Cygnus and Seagull; Ithaca Energy is already a partner in the Elgin Franklin and Jade fields; Eni's UK business had 2023 pro forma production of 40-45 kboe/d and 2P reserves of c.100 mmboe as at 31 December 2023; The Potential Combination would represent a value-accretive opportunity for Ithaca Energy's shareholders, supporting delivery of the Company's Buy, Build and Boost strategy. The Potential Combination would: Add significant scale and diversification to Ithaca Energy's business: Significantly growing pro forma production to above 100 kboe/d, creating the 2 largest independent operator in the UKCS by production; Create a leading UKCS portfolio: Enhancing Ithaca Energy's status as the largest independent operator by resource, holding stakes in 6 of the 10 largest fields; Enable material future growth for Ithaca Energy: Boost near term cash flows to unlock growth from Ithaca Energy's development projects whilst supporting shareholder returns; Create a long-term strategic partnership with Eni: Eni would become a major shareholder in the enlarged group supportive of delivery of Ithaca Energy's Buy, Build and Boost strategy. It is contemplated that Ithaca Energy would have access to Eni's leading technical expertise to drive future growth. Ithaca Energy anticipates that the Potential Combination will require shareholder approval as a Class 1 transaction. Additionally, as Eni will hold between 38% and 39% of the voting rights of Ithaca Energy at completion of the Potential Combination, a mandatory offer would normally be required under Rule 9 of the UK Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the ‘Takeover Code’). However, given that Delek will still hold shares carrying more than 50% of the voting rights following completion of the Potential Combination, the UK Panel on Takeover and Mergers (the ‘Panel’) have granted a dispensation from Rule 9 pursuant to note 5 (b) of Rule 9 under the Takeover Code. Accordingly, completion of the Potential Combination will not be conditional upon and will not require approval by Ithaca Energy's independent shareholders in relation to a Rule 9 waiver. Although the discussions are at an advanced stage, there can be no certainty that a Potential Combination will occur, nor as to the final terms or timing on which a Potential Combination might be concluded. Further announcements will be made if and when appropriate. Tillkännagivande • Sep 28

Eni Wants to Reduce Oil Exposure with Asset Sales Italy’s Eni S.p.A. (BIT:ENI) aimed to reduce its exposure to oil in favour of natural gas and non-fossil fuels in part through asset sales, the energy group’s CEO Claudio Descalzi said. Speaking at the Rome presentation of a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Descalzi added he could not comment on potential oil asset sales in the near term. Eni plans to generate EUR 1 billion ($1.1 billion) of net proceeds from the balance between asset sales and acquisitions between 2023 and 2026, the company said in its business plan. Last month, Eni announced the sale of some of its oil assets in Congo, just a few days after saying it had agreed to buy Neptune Energy. Descalzi said the acquisition would reduce Eni’s average carbon intensity, since Neptune is focused on natural gas. The deal also provides an opportunity to expand the carbon capture and storage business of Eni’s Vaar business in northern Europe. “This is why the acquisition of Neptune is not in contrast with the energy transition path,” Descalzi said. Eni will attend the COP28 climate summit later this year in Dubai, participating directly in the event for the first time, the CEO said. The group will present its investment projects in Africa, including the development of renewable energy and the creation of agri-hubs to produce feedstock for its biofuel business, he said. In a recent assessment of efforts to meet the key Paris accord target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, IRENA said the energy transition was currently “off-track”.

Plenitude, which last year recorded an adjusted operating profit of 345 million euros, could be valued at more than 6 billion euros ($6.5 billion) in the private transaction, one of the sources said. Eni declined to comment. A sale of a small stake in Plenitude would give a value to the business, creating the conditions for a future listing.

Eni Reportedly Discussing Green Unit Stake Sale with Norwegian Fund Eni S.p.A. (BIT:ENI) is discussing with Norwegian private equity firm HitecVision AS (OTCNO:HITV) a sale of a stake in its retail and renewables unit Plenitude, according to sources with knowledge of the talks. After freezing plans for an initial public offering (IPO) last summer which it could resume in the future, Eni has been looking for a partner for its Plenitude business, said the people, asking to remain anonymous because the talks are private. The sale of a minority stake would give Eni cash to keep growing Plenitude and set a value for the unit ahead of a potential IPO, the sources said. Eni declined to comment. Paal Dahlberg, HitecVision's Chief sustainability officer, declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. A global effort to reduce the greenhouse gases that are accelerating climate change had been driving valuations for green energy companies, but rising interest rates and growing concern about energy security pricked what some had started to see as a market bubble. HitecVision may buy between 5% and 10% of Plenitude, according to one of the sources. Talks are ongoing and could still fall apart, the people said. In October Eni said the unit was expected to post core earnings of more than 600 million euros for 2022. HitecVision already partners with Plenitude in Norwegian offshore wind joint venture Vaargroenn, while the Nordic private equity firm is also allied with Eni in Vaar Energi (VAR.OL), where it is invested through Point Resources. The private equity firm invests in the European energy sector with a special focus on the green transition. After dropping its IPO plans due to excessively volatile markets, Eni said Plenitude would focus on investing in renewables and electric mobility. Tillkännagivande • Jan 12
