Under the deal, Puma Energy will sell its stake in Puma Energy Asia Sun (PEAS) and a minority stake in National Energy Puma Aviation Services (NEPAS).

PEAS, which is a joint venture between Puma Energy and local company Asia Sun Energy (ASE), owns the petroleum products terminal at the Thilawa port, southeast of Yangon.

Following the military coup in February 2021, Puma initially suspended its operations in the Asian country. Despite this, the firm resumed distribution to meet the civilians’ needs.
