Overview of Record's Operations in Gabon
As previously announced on September 8, 2025, Record formed a strategic joint venture with a highly experienced operator in Africa (" Strategic Partner ") and that the consortium has entered into a production sharing contract (the " PSC ") with the Gabonese Republic and Gabon Oil Company (" GOC "), the national oil and gas company. The PSC is for the exploration, appraisal, development and production of oil and gas on Gabon offshore Block C-7, renamed Ngulu (" Ngulu ").
