On 1 May 2024, the board of directors of each of Trinity and Touchstone Exploration Inc (TSX, LSE: TXP) ("Touchstone") announced in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Touchstone Offer") that they had reached agreement on the terms of an all share offer pursuant to which Touchstone would acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Trinity.  The acquisition was to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006.  Further information on the Touchstone Offer can be found on Trinity's website at: https://trinityexploration.com/investors/touchstone-offer/.

On 2 August 2024, the boards of directors of Trinity and Lease Operators Limited ("Lease Operators") announced in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all-cash acquisition of the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of Trinity by Lease Operators (the "Acquisition") to be effected by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006. Further information on the Acquistion can be found on Trinity's website at: https://trinityexploration.com/investors/lease-operators-offer/.

On 18 September 2024 the Trinity Directors announced their intention to seek the permission of the Court to formally withdraw the scheme of arrangement relating to the Touchstone Offer (the "Withdrawal") with a Court hearing scheduled for 25 September 2024 (the "Withdrawal Hearing"). 

The Touchstone Board confirmed on 19 September 2024 that it does not intend to exercise its right to implement the Touchstone Offer by way of a Takeover Offer for the Trinity Shares as an alternative to the scheme of arrangement and received the Takeover Panel's consent for the Touchstone Offer to lapse upon the Withdrawal taking effect.

The Acquisition remains subject to certain other Conditions, including the approval of Trinity Shareholders at the Court Meeting and General Meeting, the Court's sanction of the Scheme at the Court Hearing, the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies and the satisfaction or (where capable of being waived) waiver of the other Conditions to the Acquisition.
