Delighted to have acted as joint bookrunner to Rockhopper Exploration plc

Peel Hunt is delighted to have acted as joint bookrunner to Rockhopper Exploration plc on its successful capital raise of up to $200m.

Rockhopper Exploration plc is an oil and gas company focused on the development of the Sea Lion project in the North Falkland Basin, where it holds a 35% working interest alongside operator Navitas Petroleum. The fundraise allows the company to meet its funding requirement for the Central Development Area, as well as its estimated proportionate cost to acquire a second FPSO, alongside Navitas Petroleum.

The Company utilised AIM's recently introduced Capital Access Window, enabling the placing to be completed efficiently while minimising execution risk and market disruption.
