The Tribunal determined that BPRT is not applicable to Tullow Ghana since it falls outside of the tax regime provided for in the Petroleum Agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of the Tribunal\u2019s award, Tullow Ghana is not liable to pay the $320 million BPRT assessment issued by the Ghana Revenue Authority and will have no future exposure to BPRT in respect of its operations under the Petroleum Agreements. Tullow continues to engage with the Government of Ghana on\u00a0two further disputed tax claims, which were referred to the ICC in February 2023, with the aim of resolving these disputes on a mutually acceptable basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tullow Chief Executive Officer, Rahul Dhir, commented today:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe are delighted with the outcome and decision of the Tribunal, which affirms our assessment and removes a material overhang from our business. We have continuously had confidence in the sanctity of our Petroleum Agreements and the dispute resolution process, which has now brought certainty to all parties.
