Jura Energy Corporation (“Jura” or the “Company”) provides clarification regarding a news article published by a Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, on September 13, 2026, which reported the possible revocation of petroleum rights held by the Company’s subsidiaries, Spud Energy Pty Limited (“SEPL”) and Frontier Holdings Limited (“FHL”), in Pakistan.
asserted
which → provide → Pakistan
According to the media report, the Petroleum Division of the Government of Pakistan has reportedly sought the advice of Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Committee (“ECC”), a cabinet-level decision-taking body, regarding possible courses of action in connection with the March 2025 transfer of a 73% shareholding in Jura by Phoenix Exploration (“Phoenix”) to IDL Investments Limited (“IDL”) (the “Share Transfer”).
uncertain
Division → accord → Limited
The article reports two options to be under consideration by the Petroleum Division: (i) revocation of the petroleum rights held by FHL and SEPL; or (ii) issuance of a warning to the Company, followed by retrospective regularisation of the share transfer.
asserted
article → report → transfer
In July 2025, Jura received a Show Cause Notice from the Petroleum Division in relation to the Share Transfer.
asserted
Jura → receive → Transfer
In Jura’s response, SEPL and FHL explained the reasons why the Share Transfer did not require prior consent of the Government under the applicable Pakistan Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Rules, 1986 and 2001 (the “Rules”).
asserted
Transfer → explain → Rules
Jura’s position was supported by an independent legal opinion from a renowned Pakistani lawyer.
asserted
position → support → lawyer
In light of the matters reported in the media, Jura has written to the regulatory authorities to seek clarification regarding the matters referred to in the article, including the reported courses of action under consideration by the Petroleum Division.
asserted
Jura → report → Division
Jura will continue to engage constructively with the relevant authorities and will assess any response or further information received in relation to the matter.
asserted
Jura → continue → matter
The Company believes it has been in full compliance with applicable laws, regulations and contractual obligations throughout and is committed to remaining so.
asserted
it → believe → laws
No Revocation of Petroleum Rights has been notified
Jura emphasizes that the media report describes possible courses of action reportedly under consideration by the relevant authorities and does not, in itself, constitute a confirmed decision to revoke the Company’s petroleum rights.
uncertain
report → notify → rights
In fact, Jura has had no communication from the regulatory authorities on this matter since it last responded to a query in June 2026.
asserted
it → have → June
The press article may therefore not accurately reflect the situation.
uncertain
article → reflect → situation
The Company is not aware of any confirmed decision revoking the petroleum rights held by FHL or SEPL and has a number of legal and other avenues open to it if such an unusual decision were to be taken.
asserted
decision → confirm → it
Jura will continue to monitor developments and provide further disclosure as and when required by applicable securities laws and regulations.
asserted
Jura → continue → laws
