14 July 2016

Trinity, an independent E&P company focused on Trinidad and Tobago, today provides an update on its formal sale process ("FSP") pursuant to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in the light of its announcement yesterday in relation to its ongoing discussions with Citibank.

On 13 June, the Company announced that it was in detailed stage discussions with a number of interested parties in relation to the FSP; these discussions have continued to make further progress. The Board still believes that the opportunities available represent the best approach for Trinity and its stakeholders, but Trinity shareholders are advised that, whilst the Board is encouraged with progress made to date, there can be no certainty that any offer or other transaction will result from these discussions or as to the terms on which any offer or other transaction may be made.  In addition, any financial solution will need to involve all stakeholders.

The Company will issue further announcements in the event that any further action is taken by Citibank or by the Company. 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
