Prominence Energy (PRM) shares have entered a trading halt as the company undertakes preparations for a capital raise.
Shares in the oil and gas explorer are set to remain in a trading halt until Monday, May 31, when a formal disclosure regarding the raise is made to market.
In addition to planning and executing a capital raise, Prominence said investors can also expect an update on its U.S. Bowsprit Oil Project in Louisiana and details on a “new venture”.
The trading halt comes after the company locked in a 12-month extension for two prospects within the project to allow time for drilling to get underway.
Prominence raised approximately $800,000 for the project earlier this year with the funds set to advance the project, fund reviews of new assets and for working capital.
The company’s most recent quarterly revealed a cash balance of roughly $922,000, which was enough to see it through just over the next three quarters based on spending levels at the time.
