EXPLANAT ORY ST AT EMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in this Notice for a General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held at 22 Townshend Road Subiaco WA 6008 on 14 January 2020, commencing at 10.00 am (WST).
The Chair intends to direct all undirected Proxies in favour of the Resolutions.
BACKGROUND
As announced on 28 March 2019, the Company has entered into an agreement ( Sale Agreement ) to dispose of its interest in Exploration Permit 127, Georgina Basin, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia, known as the Southern Georgina Project ( EP 127 ).
Subsequently, the Company sought and obtained shareholder approval in respect of Listing Rules 11.2 and 11.4, for the purpose of completing the Sale Agreement, at the Company’s Shareholder meeting on 12 June 2019.
On 2 December 2019, the Company announced a variation of the terms of the Sale Agreement arising from the request from the Buyer to extend the end date of the transaction.
Accordingly, ASX has exercised their discretion to require the Company to re-seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.2 and 11.4 (as described below) in respect of the varied Sale Agreement. The approvals sought by the Company under this Notice are of the same nature of those sought and obtained by the Company at the Shareholders Meeting previously held on 12 June 2019.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF SALE OF INTEREST IN EXPLORATION PERMIT 127
1.1 General
Listing Rule 11.2 provides that where a company proposes to make a significant change in the nature or scale of its activities which involves the disposal of its main undertaking, it must first obtain the prior approval of its shareholders.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, EP 127. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that EP 127 will be disposed of, as the Sale Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent.
The information required by ASX Guidance Note 12 “Significant Changes to Activities” to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1, is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
Shareholders should be aware that following the proposed disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, ASX may require the Company to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2 and/or recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.3 with respect to any future transaction the Company may enter into.
A disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking can also raise issues under Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2, which oblige a listed entity to satisfy ASX on an ongoing basis that the level of its operations is sufficient, and its financial condition adequate, to warrant its continued quotation of its securities.

1.2 Background on the Tenement
EP 127 is currently wholly owned by the Company. The Company first acquired an interest in EP 127 by way of a 75% farm-in interest pursuant to an agreement of May 2009.
EP 127 has been sitting idle due to the Northern Territory Government’s Fracking Moratorium announced by the Northern Territory Government on 14 September 2016 ( Fracking Moratorium ). Upon introduction of the Fracking Moratorium, the Company obtained a 2 year suspension of expenditure in relation to EP 127.
The Northern Territory Government lifted the Fracking Moratorium on 17 April 2018. For more information regarding the Fracking Moratorium please refer to the Northern Territory Government’s websites https://hydraulicfracturing.nt.gov.au/ and https://frackinginquiry.nt.gov.au/.
After the lifting of the Fracking Moratorium, the Company undertook a strategic review of EP 127 in which it was concluded that EP 127 was in good standing and represents an under-explored asset with potential to add significant value to the Company.
As previously announced, the lifting of the Fracking Moratorium created significant interest in EP 127. Accordingly, the Company engaged an unrelated corporate firm, Westmarket Capital PLC, for an exclusive four (4) month period to pursue a potential joint venture or other divestment opportunity, for which the Company received an exclusivity fee of $20,000.
Subsequently, the Company was advised that the Northern Territory Government had approved the Company’s work commitments and that all maintenance and annual fees had been paid up to 31 December 2019.
Accordingly, the rationale for a disposal of EP 127 is that such disposal will:
-
(A) reduce potential care and maintenance costs associated with EP 127;
-
(B) reduce regulatory and compliance costs associated with EP 127;
-
(C) eliminate potential capital expenditure associated with EP 127;
-
(D) be of benefit to the Shareholders given that EP 127 has been idle;
-
(E) provide the Company with additional working capital; and
-
(I) is timely given the current economic and regulatory climate and that there is no certainty that EP 127 will be successful or that the Company could raise the capital required to fund the expenditure required for EP 127 to be successful.
1.3 Background of the Sale of the Tenement
On 28 March 2019, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement with Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd ( Buyer ), who is not a related party or associate of the Company, to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in EP 127 to the Buyer ( Transaction ).
The Buyer arranged for the incorporation of Georgina Energy PLC (Company Number 11954589) ( GE PLC ), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2019 with all initial shareholdings held by Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd (for purpose of facilitating a listing of EP 127 on the London Stock Exchange ( LSE )) ( IPO ). The Sale Agreement was varied on or about 18 April 2019 and again on 29 November 2019, so that GE PLC can:

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF SALE OF INTEREST IN EXPLORATION PERMIT 127
2.1 General
As detailed in section 1 above, the Company has entered into the Sale Agreement to sell EP 127 to the Buyer. The Buyer’s intended parent company GE PLC (detailed in section 1.3) has taken over the obligations of the Buyer under the Sale Agreement and intends to become listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The Buyer has advised the Company that its intention is for GE PLC to be listed on the LSE by mid January 2020.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of the main asset, EP 127. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that EP 127 will be disposed of, as the Sale Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent which are set out in section 1.4(D).
The information required by ASX Guidance Note 13 “Disposal of Major Assets” to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2, is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
If Resolution 2 is approved, then the Sale Agreement can proceed as intended. In the event that Resolution 2 is not approved by Shareholders, the disposal of EP 127 under the Sale Agreement will not proceed.
2.2 Listing Rule 11.4
Under Listing Rules 11.4 and 11.4.1, a listed Company can only spin out a major asset if:
-
(A) the securities in the spin-out vehicle (other than those being retained by the company) are being offered, issued or transferred pro rata to the holders of the ordinary shares in the company, or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances; or
-
(B) the company’s shareholders approve the spin out.
The Transaction is regarded as a spin-out of a major asset for these purposes and paragraph (A) above does not apply, so it is a requirement for the Transaction to proceed that the Company’s Shareholders approve the Transaction under paragrapgh (B) above.
Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Transaction under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b).
If Resolution 2 is passed (and Resolution 1), the Company will (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions) be able to proceed with the Transaction and dispose of EP 127, receive the cash and stock consideration contemplated in the Sale Agreement and continue to review project opportunities with a view to maximise Shareholder value and otherwise as detailed in sections 1.6 to 1.9.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Transaction, accordingly it will not dispose of EP 127 or receive cash or stock consideration in accordance with the Sale Agreement. The Company may seek suitable other disposal and/or investment opportunities to deliver value to the Shareholders and otherwise as set out in section 1.11.
12
Global Oil & Gas Limited – Notice of Meeting
The Company considers that the disposal, proceeding on the basis of Shareholder’s Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) approval, without the offer, issue or transfer referred to in Listing Rule 11.4.1(a) is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders because of the advantages listed in section 1.8 and the terms of the Sale Agreement.
2.3 Major Asset and Consideration for Asset
Pursuant to Guidance Note 13, ASX will regard an asset to be a major asset if its disposal will result in a decrease of 25% or more in any of the following measures:
-
(A) consolidated total assets;
-
(B) consolidated total equity interests;
-
(C) consolidated annual revenue, or in the case of a mining exploration entity, oil and gas exploration entity or other entity that is no earning material revenue from operations, consolidated annual expenditure;
-
(D) consolidated EBITDA; or
-
(E) consolidated annual profit before tax,
or if the value of the consideration received by the listing entity and its security holders for disposing of the asset exceeds 25% of its consolidated total assets.
The Company will receive $1,000,000 (previously $500,000) in cash (including the $35,000 deposit which was paid on or about 28 March 2019 and the $75,000 deposit which was paid on or about 2 December 2019) and will receive $3,000,000 (previously $1,000,000) worth of shares in GE PLC upon its listing on the LSE.
Accordingly, the value of the consideration to be received by the Company for the asset (EP 127), being $4,000,000, represents 218% of the consolidated total assets specified in the Company’s Annual Report (as announced on 23 September 2019) and EP 127 is considered a major asset.
2.4 Value of Asset
The value of the asset, EP 127, (as shown in the Company’s Annual Report) was $1,240,000 (value of this asset was impaired as at 30 June 2019 to its sale value less costs). EP 127’s contribution to the entity’s previous expenditure is identifiable as a cash spend on the Company’s Northern Territory asset as $152,141 for the financial year ended in 2017, $57,581 for the financial year ended 2018 and $49,796 for the financial year ended 2019. As EP 127 is an exploration asset, the Company has not earned any revenue from EP 127.
The current market value of the asset is estimated at $4,000,000 (being the value of the consideration under the Sale Agreement).
