CEO Randy Neely was brought on board in June to renegotiate broader terms with Egypt, as he had done in his previous job at TransGlobe.
Capricorn had previously said the timing of a $100 million payout depended on how much revenue was generated in Egypt and the outcome of negotiations over its Egyptian licences, as well as oil and gas prices this year.
A shareholder meeting is planned for Oct. 5 to approve the $100 million special dividend ahead of a strategy update in November, Capricorn said.
