EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the Notice of General Meeting, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares and Grant of Options to The Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LLC
1.1 Background to Resolution 1
The Company announced on 17 March 2014 that it had entered into a Share Purchase and Convertible Security agreement with The Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LLC, a New York-based institutional investor managed by The Lind Partners, LP (collectively Lind ) in respect of Lind providing a total funding commitment of up to AU$7.25 million. Under the agreement with Lind, OBL received AU$350,000 in funds upon execution of the agreement in the form of AU$275,000 convertible security and AU$75,000 as first equity tranche prepayment. The funds are being used for working capital purposes and to give the Company certainty of access to equity market funding especially during the planning and six (6) month build-up phase of the Derby Block field and support operations, and to allow OBL to advance its exploration program with the hopes of unlocking significant value at both Derby Block and Backreef Area USG / USO Projects. Importantly, the agreement ensures that the Company’s ongoing efforts are adequately funded to advance the Canning Basin operated projects over the coming months.
As part of the Agreement, Lind has been granted 8,000,000 unlisted options (each to be issued exercisable at AU$0.0232 and exercisable by 14 September 2017). OBL has also paid Lind a commitment fee of AU$150,000, satisfied through the issue of 8,053,691 OBL ordinary shares. These commitments shares were issued at a circa 3.5% premium to the closing price of $0.0186 (1.86 cents) on 14 March 2014.
OBL’s obligations are secured through 8,500,000 shares which OBL has issued to Lind.
Convertible Security
On execution of the Facility Agreement, Lind advanced $275,000 to the Company for an unsecured convertible security (Convertible Security).
The Convertible Security:
-
Has a conversion or repayment amount of $300,000;
-
Has a conversion price for each Share of 91.5% of the average 3 daily VWAPs chosen by Lind during a specified period prior to the issuance of shares;
-
Has a coupon/interest rate of 6%;
-
Is not convertible for a period of 120 days following execution of the facility agreement;
-
May be converted to Shares in one (1) lump sum or in increments of not less than $50,000; and
-
Has a term of 24 months from execution of the Facility Agreement.
Equity Drawdown Facility
Following execution of the facility agreement, Lind now provides the Company with an equity drawdown facility of up to $7,000,000 (Drawdown Facility) whereby Lind agrees to purchase Shares on a monthly basis equal in value to $100,000 per tranche (Tranche) for up to 24 months (Term). The parties may increase the amount of each Tranche up to $300,000.
Each Tranche will be pre-paid at the beginning of each month and the Shares for that corresponding Tranche will be issued at the end of the month (Issuance Date).
Upon execution of the facility agreement, Lind purchased the first Tranche of $100,000 (Initial Advance).
The issue price of the Shares under the Drawdown Facility will be equal to 91.5% of the average three (3) daily VWAPs chosen by Lind during the 20 trading day period prior to each Issuance Date (Purchase Price).
- 5 -
Lind may on one occasion only, elect to purchase a Tranche of Shares at a Purchase Price equal to 130% of the average VWAPs of the Shares during the 20 trading days prior to the execution of the Facility Agreement (One-Off Tranche).
The Company may refuse to issue a Tranche for a month if the Purchase Price will be less than $0.0125 per Share (Floor Price). However, the company must then repay the amount paid by Lind for that Tranche plus a 5% premium.
If the Purchase Price falls below $0.009 (Base Price) per Share for two (2) consecutive trading days during the Term, Lind may suspend its purchase of Shares for up to 60 days. If during this period, the Purchase Price rises above the Base Price for more than 10 trading days, the suspension will be lifted.
After the first 6 Tranches have been drawn, the Company may suspend any further drawdown for up to 3 months in every 12 month period.
The Company may terminate the facility agreement at any time without penalty:
-
after 6 months of the Term;
-
if the Purchase Price falls below the Floor Price; or
-
by paying a cancellation fee of $125,000
Lind will not acquire a relevant interest in the Company of more than 19.99% at any one time.
In consideration of Lind entering the facility agreement, the Company issued 8,000,000 options to Lind, each with an exercise price of $0.0232 per option and an expiry date of 14 September 2017.
1.2 Listing rules information requirements
Under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of 45,197,270 shares, and 8,000,000 unlisted options to Lind so as to restore the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s issued capital in the next 12 months.
