Transglobe Energy Corporation Announces Declaration of Dividend

By: Newsfile

The information contained within this Announcement is deemed by TransGlobe Energy Corporation to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR").

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2022) - TransGlobe Energy Corporation (TSX: TGL) (NASDAQ: TGA) (AIM: TGL) ("TransGlobe" or the "Company") announces that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of US$0.10 per common share, which will be paid in cash on May 12, 2022 to shareholders of record on April 29, 2022. The ex-dividend date is April 28, 2022.

The dividend is designated as an eligible dividend under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Shareholder Distributions

The Company has adopted a distribution policy to allocate a minimum of 75% of its annual free cash flow to its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. For these purposes, free cash flow is defined as net cash generated by operating activities less capital expenditures and debt repayments, calculated on an annual basis. The Company intends to assess its ability to pay a dividend on a semi-annual basis, with the regularity of its dividend payments correlated to its Egyptian operations' cash flow.

In addition to dividends, the Company may consider the use of share buybacks to return capital to shareholders. If the Company determines that share buybacks are appropriate, it will make a separate announcement to that effect.

Please see "Advisory on Forward-Looking Information and Statements" and "Distribution Advisory" at the end of this press release.

Randy Neely, President & Chief Executive Officer of TransGlobe

"We are very pleased to resume our dividend after a long hiatus. The restart of our dividend has been planned since we approached the ratification and execution of the amendment, extension and merger of our Eastern Desert PSCs. The successful conclusion of the agreement earlier this quarter significantly improves the investment case and returns of our Egypt operations. That milestone, combined with continuing strong commodity prices, growing production and the free cash flow potential we have created in our Canadian properties, supports the reintroduction of a dividend. This also further supports the potential for strong distributions to our loyal shareholders going forward as cash collections permit.

Providing returns to shareholders is a key priority for management and the Board, while still maintaining a disciplined balance sheet. As such, in order to mitigate liquidity risks, the Company intends to re-build an appropriate cash balance, having paid the initial modernization installments due under the merged concession agreement."
