c. the issue of 45M performance options to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee) for nil consideration. The options convert to ordinary fully paid shares in Tellus subject to certain performance hurdles being met including VWAP share price and oil production.
Tellus is pleased to be joining the ranks of oil and gas explorers in the Cooper Basin where recent corporate activity has been notable and has attracted a number of major international players.
The Company’s strategy is to acquire operating interests in quality acreage positions in proven low‐ risk basins where management are familiar with the assets and have relatively low entry costs. Tellus is targeting both conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources. The Company will focus on providing flexibility in terms of timing and approach to exploration and any subsequent development of delineated oil and gas reserves.
PNC, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellus, is the holder of two oil and gas assets:
-
A 50% interest in PEL 105 in the Cooper Basin. PNC has also agreed to acquire the remaining 50% interest in PEL 105 subject to the execution of a formal Sale & Purchase Agreement with Austin Exploration Limited.
-
100% interest in ATP 904P in the Surat Basin, Qld, subject to Ministerial approval of the transfer from the previous owner. PNC is currently negotiating with the relevant statutory body with the cooperation of the previous owner to achieve Ministerial approval.
The Company is in final preparations to drill Pirie 1 in PEL105 and the well is expected to commence operations within weeks. The well is targeting Birkhead, Toolachee, Patchawarra and Tirrawarra oil and wet gas prospects. For more information relating to Pirie 1 refer to the EGM notice dated 6 June 2013.
Mr Stephen Woodham will vacate the position of Managing Director concurrently and assume the role of Non‐Executive Director.
The Chairman, Mr Tony Wehby commented “We welcome Carl to the Board and look forward to his involvement in the exploration and development of these exciting oil and gas assets. We also take this opportunity to thank Steve for his significant contribution to Tellus and look forward to having his continued input at Board level."
