NEW YORK, Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brooge Energy Ltd, (“Brooge Energy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BROG), a Cayman Islands-based infrastructure provider, which is currently engaged in clean petroleum products and biofuels and crude oil storage and related services, today announced receiving a formal proposal submitted by Gulf Navigation Holdings PJSC (“GULFNAV”), the Dubai Financial Market listed maritime and shipping company, to acquire fully all of the businesses and assets from Brooge Energy Limited (“BEL”).
GULFNAV has stated that this proposed acquisition is part of its strategy to enhance growth and provide an integrated portfolio of logistical services related to oil, petrochemicals and gas.

In addition, BEL has not responded to GULFNAV’s proposal and there is no guarantee it will accept the proposal. The proposed transaction, if it moves forward, would be subject to customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature, including obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals. GULFNAV is optimistic that the proposed transaction, if agreed by both parties, would target closing in the fourth quarter of 2023. Nevertheless, any developments regarding the deal and the timeline will be appropriately disclosed to the market in due course.
