On April 16, 2025, the California Coastal Commission (the “Commission”) filed a request in the Santa Barbara County Superior Court (the “Court”) for a temporary restraining order against Sable Offshore Corp. (the “Company”) to halt repair and maintenance activities on the Las Flores Pipeline System. The request was filed within the Company’s ongoing litigation against the Commission (Case No. 25CV00974, Sable Offshore Corp., et al. v. California Coastal Commission, et al.), in which the Company asserts, among other things, that the Commission has attempted to unlawfully usurp Santa Barbara County’s permitting authority under its certified Local Coastal Program. On April 17, 2025, the Court denied the Commission’s request for a temporary restraining order and set the matter for further hearing on May 14, 2025. The Company will continue the repair and maintenance activities on the Las Flores Pipeline System as required by State and Federal laws and regulations.
