Holdings in Company
The Company has received notification by Pan Maghreb Oil & Gas Limited ("Pan Maghreb") of a corporate restructuring ("Restructuring") and resulting changes in its shareholding in Fastnet. Prior to the Restructuring, Pan Maghreb held 40,688,212 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (representing 11.78% of its share capital).
Pan Maghreb has declared a dividend in specie ("Dividend") of its entire holding in Fastnet.
