Results of general meeting

 

At the general meeting of the Company held earlier today all resolutions were duly passed, including a waiver of Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, which was passed unanimously on a poll.

As announced on 29 November 2007, Lansdowne has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Milesian Oil & Gas Limited for an initial consideration to be satisfied by the issue of 8,921,118 new ordinary shares in the Company, representing 30.0 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company following admission of such shares to trading on AIM. Further deferred consideration to be satisfied by the issue of up to 8,110,099 new ordinary shares may be payable dependent upon the results of a 2D seismic programme over Milesian’s Celtic Sea acreage.
