Large acquisition / reverse takeover

Angola Block 14 acquisition

Etu signed SPA under pre-emption; Energean SPA still in effect

Energean signed on 12 March 2026 to buy Chevron's Block 14 and 14K stakes offshore Angola for $260m. Etu Energias gave pre-emption notice on 3 June 2026. In August 2026 Etu executed its own SPA with Chevron. Energean's SPA stays in effect until that one completes, so the deal now looks likely to be lost.
