Highlights

FAR identifies a contingent payment right of up to US$55 million as its remaining asset.
The company received a provisional US$23.7 million payment relating to 2025 Sangomar production.
FAR completed a Capital return of AUD 0.35 per share in June 2026.
A September 2026 announcement established an unmarketable parcel share buy-back facility.

FAR Limited (ASX:FAR) entered the later part of 2026 focused on realising a remaining contingent payment entitlement rather than developing a broad operated oil-and-gas asset base. Its official corporate profile identifies the right, with a maximum value of US$55 million, as the company’s remaining asset. The entitlement relates to the Sangomar project offshore Senegal. FAR’s interest is therefore a payment arrangement, not direct ownership of Sangomar’s ongoing production.

A Provisional Payment Was Received in 2026

FAR announced receipt of a provisional US$23.7 million contingent payment in May 2026 associated with calendar-year 2025 Sangomar production. The payment marked an important cash realisation under its contractual arrangement. It should be distinguished from any subsequent payment amounts that may depend on relevant production and agreement conditions. The maximum US$55 million figure is a cap on the overall arrangement, not an amount the company has announced as fully received.

Capital Management Accompanies Cash Realisation

FAR returned AUD 0.35 per share to shareholders on 11 June 2026. Later, the company established a Facility to buy back unmarketable parcels, allowing eligible small shareholders to participate unless they elected to retain their holdings. The published facility applied a buy-back price of AUD 0.2979 per share. These measures address the company’s Capital Structure and Shareholder register; neither is evidence of new exploration or development expenditure.

Outlook: Further Contingent Payments Are Conditional

FAR’s stated corporate objective centres on realising the remaining Sangomar contingent payment entitlement and managing the company’s resources. Further receipts depend on contractual criteria and should not be assumed simply because the field continues producing. Updates on the entitlement, future capital management and financial position are therefore the most pertinent disclosures to follow. The company’s current strategic position differs from that of an actively drilling exploration company.

FAR shares were quoted at AUD 0.303 on 6 November 2026, with a reported daily change of 0.00%. No shares traded during the session. Market Capitalisation was approximately AUD 27.95 million.
