Information regarding the new bridge over the Wouri River which when complete will connect Douala and Bonabéri. The original bridge (via a 5Km journey) can take sometimes up to two to three hours to cross!

But the bridge over the Wouri is not only a link between Douala and Bonabéri, it opens the Douala market to the production areas of the West, North West and South West Regions. 25 July 2013


As of yesterday one side of the new bridge is open.

In anticipation, Actis obtains a 10-year extension on the concession of the electricity utility in Cameroon

(Investing in Cameroon) - It's done. After several months of negotiations with the government, the Cameroonian electrician Eneo, controlled by the British investment fund Actis, has just obtained a ten-year extension for its concession contract for the public electricity service in the country . According to Le Quotidien de l'Economie , which reveals the information, this extension was granted by the Head of State, " under certain conditions " to be settled no later than October 15, 2017.

The concession contract for the electricity utility in Cameroon was signed in 2001 for a period of 20 years between the State of Cameroon and the American company AES which, at the end of 2013, sold all its assets to British Columbia Actis.

However, as soon as it entered the electricity market in Cameroon, this investment fund had drawn up and submitted to the government, by 2015, an investment program requiring long-term borrowing, which could not be covered by the rest of the contract period (less than 10 years), sources from the company said.

In order to make these investments estimated at around CFAF 900 billion over a 10-year period (in exchange for accompanying government measures, Editor's note), an Eneo Board of Directors held on 23 April 2015 in Yaoundé, the Cameroonian capital, recommended to the General Directorate " to finalize and sign the new amendment to the concession contract between Eneo Cameroon SA and the Republic of Cameroon ".

"The amendment shall cover the minimum duration of the extension which shall cover at least the duration of the repayment of the debt contracted by the company to the lenders. That is the purpose of this addendum. That is to say, to align the duration of the repayment of the borrowings needed by the operator, on the contract under which it operates, "a source close to this case had entrusted at that time.

An investment of FCFA 141.6 billion, the second bridge over the Wouri is now open to traffic
Thursday, 05 October 2017

0510-9550-d-un-investissement-de-141-6-m

(Investing in Cameroon) - Motorists in the economic capital of Cameroon have been able to travel on the second bridge built on the Wouri River in Douala for a few days. The Department of Public Works has just announced the anticipated opening of traffic on this new infrastructure in order to limit the traffic jams on the first bridge as a result of ongoing work on the western peninsula of the economic capital.

Last July 31, it was the railroad built on this bridge, which had officially been opened to traffic, pending the official commissioning of the second bridge over the Wouri, originally planned for the end of this year 2017.

With a total cost of 141.6 billion CFA francs, the second bridge over the Wouri is a strategic work long claimed by the Cameroonian economic operators. Indeed, it will streamline traffic from Bonabéri, a neighborhood that is home to an industrial zone, and downtown Douala; and even between the economic capital and the regions of Northwest, South-West and West Cameroon.

Thanks to the incentives of the 2013 law, Savannah Oil was able to save more than 5 billion FCfa on its investments
23rd October 2017


(Invest in Cameroon) - The Cameroonian company Savannah Oil Services is now working alongside the British oil and gas producer VOG, particularly through its subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), for the extraction and marketing of natural gas on the gas field. Logbaba, located in the economic capital of the country.

This company launched in 2016, support its managers, is the result of the 2013 law on incentives for private investment in the Republic of Cameroon, which grants exemptions ranging from 5 to 10 years to companies in the phase of installation and production .

As part of Savannah Oil, told the government Daily its promoter, Jean Claude Tchagou Tiegue, this regulatory provision has resulted in savings of nearly $ 10 million (more than 5 billion CFA francs) on the overall volume of investments that helped launch this company.

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc
("VOG" or "the Company")

Proposed Placing and Subscription to raise between US$20 million to US$26 million
and Open Offer to raise up to US$3.0 million


Victoria Oil & Gas Plc, the integrated natural gas producing utility in Cameroon, has been made aware of very recent market speculation regarding the Company undertaking a potential fundraise and the Board confirms that VOG had been in advanced discussions, with a number of investors, regarding a possible placing in order to fund the Company's operational development and working capital. That fundraising structure has now been converted from a traditional placing structure to the accelerated book build process detailed in this announcement.

The Company is seeking to raise between US$20 million to US$26 million by way of the Placing and Subscription through the issue of new Ordinary Shares at a minimum price of 57 pence. The Company is also proposing to raise up to US$3.0 million by way of the Open Offer which will be available to all Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. The Fundraising comprises the Placing and Subscription and the Open Offer. A circular will be published setting out the full details, terms and conditions and timetable of the Open Offer.


Highlights:

· The Placing and Subscription are being conducted through an accelerated book build process which will open with immediate effect following this announcement
· The Directors intend to participate in the Fundraise by way of the Subscription
· Proceeds to be used to accelerate the Group's growth plans, as further detailed below
· The minimum Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 12 per cent to the closing mid-market price of VOG's existing ordinary shares of 64.75 pence on 24 October 2017
· Further details of the Placing are set out in the appendix to this announcement

Having established a natural gas supply business in Douala, VOG believes that the net proceeds of the fundraising, together with additional capital intended to be sourced from local banks will allow the Company to accelerate growth in gas production to meet the opportunity that exists in the Cameroon power sector.

This will enable the Company to:

· Target the c1,700MW power deficiency in Douala with gas to power solutions
· Deliver 100mmscf/d by the end of 2021
· Drill additional well La-109 at Logbaba Project
· Increase Logbaba gas processing plant capacity to 70mmscf/d
· Expedite, subject to Government approvals, development of Matanda and


Bomono Projects

· Extend pipeline reach around port city of Douala to Bomono, the Eastern Corridor and other specific customers.

Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited ("Shore Capital") and FirstEnergy Capital LLP ("GMP FirstEnergy") have been appointed as joint bookrunners (together the "Joint Bookrunners") in respect of the Placing. Strand Hanson Limited is acting as nominated adviser to the Company.

The Placing is conditional upon the passing of Resolutions relating to the Placing and Subscription which are to be proposed at a General Meeting of the Company. A circular is expected to be posted by close of business on 26 October 2017 (the "Circular") notifying shareholders of a general meeting for the purpose of considering the relevant resolutions.

This Announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014 ("MAR"). In addition, market soundings (as defined in MAR) were taken in respect of the Placing with the result that certain persons became aware of inside information (as defined in MAR), as permitted by MAR. This inside information is set out in this Announcement. Therefore, those persons that received inside information in a market sounding are no longer in possession of such inside information relating to the Company and its securities.

Additional information on the Fundraising is included below. Attention is also drawn to the section headed 'Important Notice' and to the Appendix to this Announcement containing, inter alia, the terms and conditions of the Placing (representing important information for Placees only). The number of Placing Shares to be issued in connection with the Placing will be determined by GMP FirstEnergy and Shore Capital at the close of the Bookbuild process, and the results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter. The timing of the closing of the book, pricing and allocations is at the absolute discretion of GMP FirstEnergy and Shore Capital.

Book building

Book building is a systematic process of generating, capturing, and recording investor demand for shares during an initial public offering (IPO), or other securities during their issuance process, in order to support efficient price discovery.[1] Usually, the issuer appoints a major investment bank to act as a major securities underwriter or bookrunner.

Book Building is an alternative method of making a public issue in which applications are accepted from large buyers such as financial institutions, corporations or high net-worth individual, almost on firm allotment basis, instead of asking them to apply in public offer.

Overview

The "book" is the off-market collation of investor demand by the bookrunner and is confidential to the bookrunner, issuer, and underwriter. Where shares are acquired, or transferred via a bookbuild, the transfer occurs off-market, and the transfer is not guaranteed by an exchange’s clearing house. Where an underwriter has been appointed, the underwriter bears the risk of non-payment by an acquirer or non-delivery by the seller.

Book building is a common practice in developed countries and has recently been making inroads into emerging markets as well. Bids may be submitted on-line, but the book is maintained off-market by the bookrunner and bids are confidential to the bookrunner. Unlike a public issue, the book building route will see minimum number of applications and large order size per application. The price at which new shares are issued is determined after the book is closed at the discretion of the bookrunner in consultation with the issuer. Generally, bidding is by invitation only to high-net-worth clients of the bookrunner and, if any, lead manager, or co-manager. Generally, securities laws require additional disclosure requirements to be met if the issue is to be offered to all investors. Consequently, participation in a book build may be limited to certain classes of investors. If retail clients are invited to bid, retail bidders are generally required to bid at the final price, which is unknown at the time of the bid, due to the impracticability of collecting multiple price point bids from each retail client. Although bidding is by invitation, the issuer and bookrunner retain discretion to give some bidders a greater allocation of their bids than other investors. Typically, large institutional bidders receive preference over smaller retail bidders, by receiving a greater allocation as a proportion of their initial bid. All bookbuilding is conducted ‘off-market’ and most stock exchanges have rules that require that on-market trading be halted during the bookbuilding process.

The key differences between acquiring shares via a bookbuild (conducted off-market) and trading (conducted on-market) are: 1) bids into the book are confidential vs transparent bid and ask prices on a stock exchange; 2) bidding is by invitation only (only high-net-worth clients of the bookrunner and any co-managers may bid); 3) the bookrunner and the issuer determine the price of the shares to be issued and the allocations of shares between bidders in their absolute discretion; 4) all shares are issued or transferred at the same price whereas on-market acquisitions provide for multiple trading prices.

The bookrunner collects bids from investors at various prices, between the floor price and the cap price. Bids can be revised by the bidder before the book closes. The process aims at tapping both wholesale and retail investors. The final issue price is not determined until the end of the process when the book has closed. After the close of the book building period, the book runner evaluates the collected bids on the basis of certain evaluation criteria and sets the final issue price.

If demand is high enough, the book can be oversubscribed. In these cases the greenshoe option is triggered.

Book building is essentially a process used by companies raising capital through public offerings—both initial public offers (IPOs) or follow-on public offers (FPOs) to aid price and demand discovery. It is a mechanism where, during the period for which the book for the offer is open, the bids are collected from investors at various prices, which are within the price band specified by the issuer. The process is directed towards both the institutional as well as the retail investors. The issue price is determined after the bid closure based on the demand generated in the process.

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc (AIM: VOG), the integrated natural gas producing utility in Cameroon, is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's announcement yesterday, a circular containing details of the Placing, Subscription and Open Offer, together with the notice of General Meeting (the "Circular"), is today being posted to Shareholders.

A copy of this Circular will be available on the Company's website (www.victoriaoilandgas.com) shortly.

The Company announced yesterday that it has conditionally raised US$23.5 million, by way of the Placing and Subscription, through the issue of 31,187,756 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 57 pence.

The Company also announced that it was also proposing to raise up to US$3.0 million by way of the Open Offer which will be available to all Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. The Fundraising comprises the Placing and Subscription and the Open Offer.

The purpose of the Fundraising is to enable the Company to accelerate the development of its integrated gas supply operations in the Republic of Cameroon. Operating through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC") the Company has a 57% participating interest in the Logbaba Block (the "Logbaba Project"). The Logbaba Project currently produces and supplies gas to private industrial and power generation customers.

Over US$240 million has been invested in the Logbaba Project and pipeline network to date. The net proceeds of the Fundraising are to be deployed alongside operating cashflow and measured levels of debt, significantly to increase gas production capability to meet the demands of the growing Douala energy market.

Although the Company has certain on-going Shareholder authorities taken at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 June 2017, these are not sufficient to implement the Fundraising through the issue of the New Ordinary Shares.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to grant the Directors authority to allot equity securities and to dis-apply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of an allotment of equity securities for cash in connection with the Fundraising.

Notice of General Meeting

The Placing, the Subscription and the Open Offer are each conditional upon, inter alia, upon the passing of the Resolutions by Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, South Bank Room 1, 108 Stamford Street, South Bank, London SE1 9NH at 11.00 a.m. on 13 November 2017 for the purposes of authorising the Directors to allot the Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares and/or the Open Offer Shares (as the case may be) and to dis-apply statutory pre-emption rights in relation thereto. The Open Offer is conditional upon the Placing and Subscription.

Save as otherwise defined, capitalised items used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement on the Fundraising released by the Company on 25 October at 7.00 a.m.

Not much of a saving for shareholders at todays price close to the 0.57p offer price.
