Green Energy Group (Seabird Exploration Plc): Announcement of strategic review

Reference is made to the Green Energy Group (SBX plc, “the Company”) Q1 and Q3 2021 reports where the first steps to consolidate its subsidiary Seabird Exploration`s segments of the seismic industry were announced. The consolidation of equipment so far allows Seabird to operate up to six OBN source vessels simultanously, or more than 30pc of the segment capacity. Green Energy Group (SBX plc) has subsequently received interest from potential partners. To this end, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to initiate a strategic review to explore all available options to maximize shareholder value. The Company will engage with interested parties during the review. The Company has retained Fearnley Securities as financial advisor and Schjødt as legal advisor to assist in the process.
