Sefton Resources, Inc.
("Sefton" or the "Company")
Update on Bankruptcy Proceedings
On 22 September 2015, the Court in the bankruptcy proceedings in Denver ruled that the hearing scheduled for 1-2 October is to be re-scheduled to 12 November 2015, in order to provide the parties with additional time for discovery. The Court also confirmed that the Company in the interim may not engage in the extraordinary disposition of assets beyond the ordinary course of business, in accordance with the U.S. bankruptcy laws, which means the Company cannot dispose of its legacy oil and gas assets located in Kansas, USA. As stated in the announcement of 10 September 2015, these assets have been placed on a care and maintenance regime whilst a study on the underlying value of the assets is commissioned. Whilst the Company continues to seek potential buyers, the difficulties in the market due to the current depressed oil price make this difficult in the short term, and as a result this embargo on disposal until the hearing is not expected to have any practical impact.
