GeoPark Completes Strategic Venezuela Entry Transaction
GeoPark completed its strategic Venezuela entry, with the 25-year Production Participation Contract for the Bare Block now effective ahead of the 120-day contractual deadline. GeoPark issued 42,135,872 common shares to Grupo Gilinski's Panamerican Energy Holdings for the remaining 95% of CPP Holdco — all equity, no cash — making Gilinski the controlling shareholder at roughly 56.3% ownership, potentially rising to 58.4% with milestone shares. Under the CPP, GeoPark will operate the block, fund 100% of capex, and hold a 65% net participating interest, with operational takeover targeted before year-end 2026 and 300-400 reactivation wells already assessed.
