• Gran Tierra Energy Inc. announced that it and its subsidiary, Gran Tierra Energy International Holdings GmbH, entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated August 5, 2026 with Établissements Maurel & Prom S.A. and Maurel & Prom Andina 104. The company filed an amended Form 8‑K on August 10, 2026 to furnish the agreement as an exhibit.
• The filing states the sale (the “Sale Transaction”) will be submitted to Gran Tierra’s stockholders for approval and that the company will prepare and file a definitive proxy statement with the SEC ahead of the shareholder meeting.

Key Details

• Agreement date: August 5, 2026; Amended 8‑K filed: August 10, 2026.
• Parties: Gran Tierra Energy Inc., Gran Tierra Energy International Holdings GmbH (seller side) and Établissements Maurel & Prom S.A. and Maurel & Prom Andina 104 (buyers).
• A definitive proxy statement will be filed and stockholder approval is required before the Sale Transaction can close.
• Certain schedules to the agreement were omitted from the public exhibit per SEC rules; the company will provide them to the SEC upon request. The filing also clarifies it is not a notice of redemption for Gran Tierra’s 7.750% Senior Notes due 2027.

Why It Matters

• This is a material deal that could materially affect Gran Tierra’s asset base, operations and future strategy; investors should watch for the forthcoming proxy statement for transaction terms (consideration, affected assets, expected timing) and any disclosed financial impacts.
• Shareholders will vote on the transaction, and Gran Tierra’s directors/executive officers may participate in the solicitation; review the proxy when available to understand management’s rationale and any risks disclosed.
• The filing includes standard forward‑looking language—actual outcomes (timing, approvals, financial effects) may differ from stated expectations, so rely on the definitive proxy and subsequent SEC filings for full details.
