-- Star Energy Group (STAR.L) on Friday said it inked a deal to sell its subsidiary IGeoPen, which owns three geothermal exploration licenses in Croatia, to Enna Geo.
The deal includes an initial cash consideration of 1.5 million euros and a financial earnout of 500,000 euros per license. Star Energy expects to receive 1.3 million euros from the cash consideration and another 1.5 million euros from the earnout portion, consistent with shareholder deals for IGeoPen's direct parent, A14 Energy.
The AIM-listed energy company said the sale of IGeoPen was due to a delay in the announcement of a premium price tariff for geothermal projects by the Croatian government.
A14 Energy is 71%-owned by Star Energy, with the remaining 29% held by Peninsula International Pte. Ltd.
