Galilee Energy's successful completion of the entitlement offer, underwritten by Canaccord Genuity, has raised approximately $2.08 million, setting the stage for the execution of the Merger with Vintage Energy. The issuance of new shares and the shareholder shortfall offer marks a significant milestone for the company. The upcoming Scheme of Agreement vote by shareholders for the merger with Vintage Energy indicates a strategic move towards further expansion and development.

With the successful completion of the entitlement offer, Galilee Energy is poised to advance its corporate strategy and pursue its goals for sustainable energy production and supply.
