Ramba subsidiary Hexindo (80% Ramba) has completed the farm-out of a net 20% interest in its Akatara block, which contains the Lemang PSC, to KKR-backed Mandala Energy. In addition to US$15m of cash payments and some back-costs, the deal could also net Hexindo an additional US$87.6m in bonus payments and carries, largely subject to production and reserves updates. We believe this is an excellent result for Ramba and its investors, especially given the company has closed the deal in turbulent market conditions. In addition to Lemang, Ramba is currently drilling two exploration wells on its West Jambi block, with results expected in Q116.
