On February 24, 2026, we entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with a subsidiary of Panoro Energy ASA for the sale of all our 40.4% participating interest in the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex production assets located in Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea for upfront cash consideration of $180.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, and future contingent consideration of up to $39.5 million. The transaction has an effective date of January 1, 2025, has received approval from the Government of Equatorial Guinea and completion only remains subject to CEMAC customary approval. While we expect to close the transaction around the middle of 2026, there can be no assurance that closing will ultimately occur or that it may not be delayed.

Management considers the assets and liabilities in the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex production assets located in Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea included in the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement as a disposal group. As of March 31, 2026, the assets and liabilities of the disposal group were classified as held for sale. The expected cash consideration of $180.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, and future contingent consideration of up to $39.5 million per the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement exceeds the carrying value of the disposal group, and thus, no adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group was necessary. Upon classification of the disposal group as held for sale, the Company ceased recording depletion expense for long-lived assets of the disposal group. The divestiture does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift for the Company. Therefore, the Company continued to report operating results for the assets held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale:
