3. PENDING ACQUISITION
On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) to purchase all of the issued shares in the capital of Svenska Petroleum Exploration Aktiebolag, a company incorporated in Sweden (“Svenska”) for $66.5 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as described in the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company subsequently closed its acquisition of Svenska for the net purchase price of $40.2 million, on April 30, 2024 after certain regulatory and government approvals were received. The purchase price was funded by a combination of a dividend of cash on Svenska’s balance sheet to the seller immediately prior to the consummation of the acquisition and $40.2 million of VAALCO’s cash-on-hand.
