Coro Energy reports on ‘transformational’ first half

Essentially a new company was created during the period, through the combination of non-core Sound Energy assets and Saffron Energy.

As Coro Energy Plc (LON:CORO) reported half-year results it reflected on the ‘transformational’ period which saw the rebooted company formed through the combination of Sound Energy’s Italian assets and Saffron Energy.

It saw a reconfiguration of the board alongside the appointment of a new chief executive and chief financial officer. The company opened an office in London and raised €16.1mln with a view to expansion in South East Asia.

More recently, in the current reporting period, the company entered into its first new transaction – agreeing to acquire a 42% interest in the Bulu PSC.
