Energy One Limited (ASX:EOL) provides wholesale energy trading software and services. The company supports customers across the energy trading lifecycle through software, market operations, scheduling, settlements, compliance and advisory services.

On 2 October 2026, Energy One updated the market on its proposed acquisition of Gas Management Services Limited (GMSL), reporting that a foreign Investment approval condition has now been met.

Latest Development: FIRB Condition Satisfied

On 19 August 2026, Energy One announced a binding agreement with Fluxys UK Limited (Fluxys) to acquire 100% of GMSL. As consideration, Energy One is to issue 7,089,780 of its shares to Fluxys under the Acquisition Agreement.

Energy One said Fluxys has notified it of receiving written notice, under section 75(2) of the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) and on behalf of the Australian Treasurer, that the Commonwealth Government has no objection to Fluxys acquiring up to an 18.26 per cent interest in Energy One. As a result, the FIRB approval condition precedent in clause 3.1(a) of the Acquisition Agreement has been satisfied.

The announcement was authorised by the Board of Directors of Energy One. Investor relations enquiries are directed to Andreas Lundberg of Fortitude IR, and the company's head office is on Pacific Highway in North Sydney.

Remaining Condition: Shareholder Approval on 15 October

Completion of the Acquisition Agreement remains subject to Energy One shareholder approval. That approval is being sought at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for Thursday, 15 October 2026. Energy One describes shareholder approval as the final positive condition to completion.

The share-based structure means the transaction is settled by issuing new Energy One shares rather than through a cash payment. The FIRB notice relates to the maximum interest Fluxys may acquire, which is stated as up to 18.26%.

The announcement therefore marks one condition moving from pending to satisfied. It does not list any further conditions, and the company does not say how many Energy One shares are currently on issue, so the percentage effect of the 7,089,780 new shares cannot be calculated from this release alone.

Information Not Included in the Announcement

The 2 October announcement is limited to the regulatory update. It does not restate GMSL's financial results, provide a total transaction value, or give pro forma figures for Energy One following completion. Readers seeking those details would need to refer to the company's earlier announcement of 19 August 2026 and meeting materials.

What to Watch Ahead

The next scheduled event is the extraordinary general meeting on 15 October 2026, where shareholders will consider the approval needed for completion. Following the vote, the company's announcements will indicate whether the final condition has been satisfied and when completion occurs.

Readers tracking the transaction may also look for the outcome of each resolution put to the meeting, any notice of completion, and the allotment of the 7,089,780 shares to Fluxys, which the company has not yet scheduled in this announcement.

The Bottom Line

Energy One (ASX:EOL) has cleared the foreign investment condition for its GMSL acquisition, with the Treasurer's notice covering a Fluxys interest of up to 18.26%. Completion now depends on the shareholder vote at the 15 October 2026 meeting, and the announcement provides no new financial data on GMSL. The meeting outcome is the next defined milestone.
