Tethys shares rise on Nostrum takeover talks

Sweden
Swedish oil and gas company Tethys Petroleum saw its shares surge by about 20 percent on Monday morning, related to talks with the Netherlands’ Nostrum Oil & Gas for a possible takeover. Tethys’ company value would be pegged at about £36 million if Nostrum buys in at the proposed 10.7 pence per share.

The share rise follows the announcement of a scrapped refinancing deal between Tethys and AGR Energy that would have been worth $47.7 million. The plan had included a $5-million short-term loan provided by AGR.

Nostrum will now give Tethys a loan of equal value while it conducts due diligence on the company. The Dutch company will give its decision on whether or not it will make a formal offer by August 26.

Tethys had previously been in talks with Nostrum for a takeover in mid-July, but rejected the company’s offer.
