Deutsche Rohstoff Ag:
Cash payment of EUR 5 million
Heidelberg. Deutsche Rohstoff AG has sold a further 15 percent of its 25
percent share in Rhein Petroleum GmbH, Heidelberg, to Tulip Oil Holding
B.V., The Hague. The purchase price amounts to EUR 5 million, which is due
immediately. For the remaining holding of 10 percent, Tulip Oil will cover
75% (EUR 3 million) of DRAG'S investment obligations, leaving DRAG with
only EUR 1 million of committed investment. Tulip will be compensated for
the provided carry from earnings of Rhein Petroleum that are attributable
to DRAG and/or from proceeds of a sale of DRAG's remaining 10%. The
obligation to compensate Tulip will cease at 31 December 2021.
Dr. Titus Gebel, CEO of Deutsche Rohstoff AG, said: 'We expect large
investments in Rhein Petroleum over a relatively short period of time. The
now signed agreement gives us the opportunity to remain a significant share
shareholder without having to provide major funding. We expect that our
remaining share will grow its value significantly in the coming years.'
