Trinity Exploration & Production PLC - Trinidad & Tobago-focused oil exploration and production firm - Calgary, Canada-based Touchstone Exploration Inc says its takeover offer for fellow AIM listing Trinity is final and won't be raised but will remain open. The board of Trinity Exploration earlier this month switched its support to a rival offer from Lease Operators Ltd, but Touchstone on Wednesday reports that it has acceptances for its offer from shareholders in Trinity representing 41.3% of its shares.
