Government approvals received for $575 million sale of Uganda
assets to Total
21 October 2020 - Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) is pleased to announce
that the Government of Uganda and the Ugandan Revenue Authority
have executed a binding Tax Agreement that reflects the pre-agreed
principles on the tax treatment of the sale of Tullow's Ugandan

Total and the transfer of operatorship for Block 2.
With all the Government-related conditions to closing having
been satisfied, Tullow expects the transaction to close in the
coming days after completing certain customary pre-closing steps
with Total. Tullow will provide a further update once the
transaction has closed and funds have been received. On closing,
Tullow will receive $500 million consideration and a further $75
million when a Final Investment Decision is taken on the
development project. In addition, Tullow is entitled to receive
contingent payments linked to the oil price payable after
production commences.
