Ithaca Energy shares fell in early trade after its two biggest shareholders, DKL Energy and Eni UK, sold some of their shares at a discount.
Shares were down 26.50 pence, or 11%, at 211 pence in early morning European trading. They are currently down 91% over the year to date.
Investment bank Peel Hunt said Tuesday that it sold a total of 49.6 million Ithaca shares on behalf of the companies at 213.75 pence, more than expected when the sale was first announced late Monday. The price is a 10% discount to Ithaca's closing price of 237.50 pence Monday.
Late Monday Peel Hunt said it was selling about 33 million Ithaca shares on behalf of DKL and Eni UK via a bookbuild process.
Following the sale DKL will own 834.6 million shares, or 50.5%, and Eni will own 594.05 million shares, or 35.9%, in Ithaca.
DKL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek Group and Eni UK is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Eni S.p.A.
