• Ended the year in a strong financial position with a cash balance of $15.3M and a $100M senior debt facility in place.
• Subsequent to yearend, entered into an agreement for the sale of our South Antelope prospect in the Williston Basin for $172.4M in cash.
Focused Strategy
The Company is focused on the exploration, development and production of large, repeatable resource plays in North America. Our strategic vision is to develop those assets where we are operator and have high working interests thereby allowing us to control the pace of growth of our projects and the allocation of our capital resources.
In line with this strategy, Sundance divested non-core assets including the Arriba prospect and, subsequent to yearend, entered into an agreement for the sale of our interest in the South Antelope field. The Company has a proven track record of generating and monetising significant value from its projects. Arriba and South Antelope were projects which no longer fit our growth strategy and their sale delivered the Company net proceeds of over US $175 million.
These funds will be channelled into our existing portfolio of high-interest, Sundance operated projects, along with potential acquisition opportunities that fit our strict investment parameters.
later on............
We have proven our ability to generate organic growth, and will continue to grow organically, but the proceeds from this sale give us a unique opportunity to pursue a wide range of merger and acquisition opportunities with the potential to rapidly change the Company’s portfolio and growth profile.
We have been evaluating opportunities to enter an additional basin that has proven developmental drilling coupled with the ability to unlock additional value through operations and exploration. A likely acquisition target will have existing production and significant development opportunities to grow production, cash flow and reserves.
