At the Extraordinary General Meeting of 3Legs Resources plc ("3Legs" or the "Company") held today, Resolutions number 1 and 2 contained in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and put to the meeting were duly approved.

Immediately following the Extraordinary General Meeting, the board of directors reconsidered the Company's solvency position and confirmed the Capital Return (as defined in the circular sent to shareholders on 7 November 2014) at 18.5 pence per Ordinary Share, equal to approximately £15.9 million in total. Capital return payments of 18.5 pence per Ordinary Share are therefore planned to be made to qualifying shareholders on 2 December 2014.

 

Claim against ConocoPhillips for the return of share of working capital surplus

 

3Legs has decided not to pursue its claim against ConocoPhillips for the return of its 30% share of a working capital surplus accumulated in the joint venture vehicle previously owned by ConocoPhillips jointly with the Company. The value of this claim was $1.64 million net. While 3Legs has been advised that its claim has good grounds, it does not consider that it can justify the significant expense involved in bringing arbitration proceedings, nor the associated risk of delaying a final distribution to shareholders.

 

A further announcement regarding proposals for the final distribution of the Company's remaining cash resources, net of costs, will be published in the near future.
