PARIS, January 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to achieve enhanced reactivity and increased financial flexibility, Maurel Prom will soon invite its shareholders to attend an ordinary and extraordinary general meeting. They will be called to vote on the renewal of existing authorisations and to grant new financial delegations to the Board of Directors.

These delegations of competence and financial authorizations will allow the board of directors to seize market opportunities in terms of investment and refinancing which could appear from this beginning of year, without having to wait for the annual general meeting planned for June.
