TransGlobe Energy Announces Postponement of the Special Meeting to October 7, 2022

By: Newsfile
  • The TransGlobe Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to postpone the Special Meeting to allow shareholders more time to evaluate the Transaction and cast their votes

    • A material number of votes on the Arrangement Resolution have been received after the proxy voting deadline

    • Current voting results show only approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding TransGlobe Shares had been voted as of the proxy voting deadline

    • Several large shareholders who were previously opposed or undecided have very recently changed their views and are now supportive of the Transaction

  • The new deadline to vote by proxy is 9:00 a.m. MT on October 5, 2022.

  • The TransGlobe Board continues to unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR the Transaction. This recommendation and the merits of the Transaction have been further validated by VAALCO's recent operational updates on September 26, 2022 and September 27, 2022, highlighting the strong momentum in VAALCO's business.

  • ISS has reiterated its support for the Transaction and Glass Lewis has recommended that shareholders vote FOR the Transaction. With both of these recommendations being issued close to the previously scheduled Special Meeting on September 29, 2022, postponing the Special Meeting will provide shareholders additional time to consider the independent recommendations of ISS and Glass Lewis.

  • TransGlobe Shareholders who have questions about the Arrangement or need assistance with voting their TransGlobe Shares should contact TransGlobe's proxy solicitation agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., by phone toll-free at (888) 540-8736 (banks and brokers only at +1 (212) 269-5550) or by email at tga@dfking.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws and other applicable laws and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "forecast," "outlook," "aim," "target," "will," "could," "should," "may," "likely," "plan" and "probably" or similar words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction and the anticipated timing of the Meeting, completion of the Arrangement and related matters. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievement since such expectations are inherently subject to significant business, economic, operational, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond TransGlobe's control, and many factors could cause TransGlobe's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by the Company, including, but not limited to, the ability to obtain stockholder, shareholder, court and regulatory approvals, if any, of the Transaction; the ability to complete the Transaction on anticipated terms and timetable; and the possibility that various closing conditions for the Transaction may not be satisfied or waived. Further, such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by TransGlobe in light of its experience and perception of current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the timing of receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals for the Arrangement; and that the various closing conditions for the Transaction will be satisfied or waived on the timing anticipated or at all. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and TransGlobe undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

No Offer or Solicitation

This announcement shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Arrangement. This announcement is for information purposes only and shall not constitute a recommendation to participate in the Arrangement or to purchase any securities. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or issue, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, acquire or subscribe for any securities in any jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act, or by means of a prospectus approved by the Financial Conduct Authority, or an exemption therefrom.
