Further Information:

The cash paid by Serica Energy at completion totalled $7.5 million, of which $0.7 million is associated with a portion of the costs incurred by NEO Energy ("NEO") on JOG's behalf since the 1 April 2023 economic effective date of the transaction. This amount will be paid to NEO by JOG.  The net cash payment to JOG is therefore $6.8 million.
