The oil and gas exploration and production company announced on 7 March that it was in discussions with EnQuest about a possible combination.

Under UK takeover rules, EnQuest had until the end of play on Friday to make a move. However, this has now been extended until 2 May.

"Discussions between Serica and EnQuest remain ongoing," the company said. It added that there can be no certainty either that an offer will be made, nor as to the terms on which such offer will be made.

"A further announcement will be made when appropriate," Serica said.
