TIMAN OIL AND GAS PLC
("Timan" or the "Company")
Update regarding the return of assets and funding of the Company
Further to previous announcements, the board of Timan (the "Board") announces
that the Company, Kamanisk Holdings ("Kamanisk") and another primary stakeholder
in Timan continue to negotiate a settlement whereby the Company's former
subsidiaries Neftegazopromyslovye Tekhnologii Limited ("NGPT"), Komineftegas
Limited Liability Company ("KNG") and Timan Management Limited Liability Company
("Timan Management") (the "Subsidiaries") will be transferred back into the
ownership of Timan and additional funding put in place to provide, inter alia,
essential working capital to the Company . The Company hopes to have resolved
discussions and the agreement documented by 9 December 2009, albeit it is likely
that any agreement will be conditional on shareholder approval.
The Company can confirm that it is in discussions with a Nominated Adviser. Such
appointment will be conditional on, inter alia, an agreement being reached as
described above.
Assuming agreement can be reached, inter alia, on the return of assets, the
Company's funding and the appointment of a Nominated Adviser, the Board expects
to be able to complete and announce its audited results for the year to 31
December 2008 and its interim results for the 6 months to 30 June 2009 as soon
as possible at a date to be determined. The 2008 Annual Report would be posted
to shareholders on the day of announcement of the final results. Timan's shares
would then resume trading on AIM.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
