Valeura Energy Inc.: Completion of Internal Restructuring

SINGAPORE, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valeura Energy Inc. (TSX:VLE, OTCQX:VLERF) ('Valeura' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the completion of an internal restructuring of its Thailand subsidiary companies. 

Valeura's working interests in all its Thai III fiscal contracts, covering the Nong Yao, Manora and Wassana fields, are now held by Valeura Energy (Thailand) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valeura, which previously had only held an interest in the Wassana asset.  The Company anticipates that the new structure offers the potential to optimise various operational and financial aspects of these assets.  In particular, the Company anticipates realising efficiencies through ongoing contracting and procurement, as well as the pooling of future costs and historical tax loss carry-forwards associated with these assets.  As of September 30, 2024, the cumulative tax loss carry-forwards are estimated at US$397 million(1).  

Dr. Sean Guest, President and CEO commented:

'Today marks a milestone in delivering value for our shareholders, and completes the integration work we started after our Gulf of Thailand acquisitions in 2022 and 2023.  Early on, we identified the potential for greater efficiency by bringing our Thai III assets together through a re-organisation; our team recognised that together, these assets are worth more than the sum of their parts. 

Pursuing this type of synergy strengthens our ability to re-invest in the business for the benefit of all stakeholders.  We intend to continue investing directly into the many organic growth opportunities inherent in our Thailand portfolio, and also seeking new ways to provide further value, including through acquisition-led growth.'

Under Thailand's income tax provisions, from today forward, petroleum income tax for the three subject assets will be assessed as a single entity. Tax obligations relating to the previous subsidiary company arrangement are required to be assessed immediately and settled within the next 30 days. Taxation arrangements for the Jasmine field, which is governed by a different vintage of fiscal terms (known as Thai I), and held in a separate subsidiary entity, will continue unchanged.
