COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company was incorporated in England and Wales to acquire, operate and develop producing oil and gas assets with a focus on generating near-term cash flow and progressive shareholder returns. The Company's founding strategy is centred on identifying mature, cash-flowing hydrocarbon portfolios that benefit from low-cost development opportunities overlooked by larger operators, and from which the Company can build a meaningful and scalable production base.
In connection with Admission, the Company has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Renaissance Offshore, LLC ("Renaissance"), a privately held, Houston-based oil and gas production company with interests in eleven fields located in the shallow-water Gulf of America (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition, which will complete upon Admission, represents the Company's first asset and provides an immediate, material production base from which to pursue its broader growth objectives. The portfolio comprises interests in 23 platforms and 88 operated wells, with varying working interest of up to 100 per cent. each.
The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, 1947 Renaissance LLC ("1947 LLC") which, upon completion of the Acquisition on Admission, will own Renaissance. As the Company executes its proposed acquisition pipeline, additional operating subsidiaries may be incorporated or acquired to hold future assets, in each case as wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Following the Acquisition, the Company's main country of operation will be the United States of America.
