Lime Petroleum is a joint venture company incorporated under the laws of Norway and is the holding company of Rex Group’s Norway, Germany and West African subsidiaries.
Xer Sweden is wholly-owned by Rex Technology, which is a subsidiary of Rex International, that is in the business of developing its own durable, long-range multirotor drones.
Rex says that the transaction will result in the group taking more control of Lime Petroleum, which will allow them to focus its efforts and resources on growing its core energy business, and have more flexibility in structuring and administering future financing for Lime Petroleum.
Rex says that the consideration that Monarch will receive pursuant to the transaction was arrived against the backdrop of more and more banks shying away from financing fossil fuel companies.
