CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
The Company’s management team are seeking to close significant value-accretive transactions, which include completing the settlement with Freeport-McMoRan in relation to the second well commitment in Morocco and a farmout to fund drilling in Gabon, including a production test of the Loba discovery (see announcements of 12 and 13 September 2016). This is a very important time for the Company to see the fruition of its strategy to realise value from these deals.
In addition, the Company has taken significant steps in response to current market conditions to reduce expenditure in order to conserve its cash position.
Following a dry hole offshore Morocco coupled with a sustained period of low oil prices, the Company is looking to rebuild value through a series of near term catalysts and reposition itself for growth. The key elements of this strategy are:
-
monetising the second well commitment on the Mazagan permit offshore Morocco; and
-
a strategic plan which includes farmout, drilling and development of the Loba discovery offshore Gabon.
This strategy has the potential to generate significant near term value for shareholders. An update on the Company’s progress in these matters is set out below.
Morocco
The Company recently announced that it has reached a conditional settlement with Freeport-McMoRan in relation to the second well obligation under the farmin agreement. That agreement and the settlement (other than the deposit already received) is conditional upon a further agreement with the regulator and any required approvals. This is an important step toward resolving this matter and securing an important value outcome for Pura Vida.
Gabon
The Company has recently released a substantial body of work demonstrating the commercial potential of the Loba discovery (141 metre gross oil column) in its 100%-owned Nkembe block and outlined the Company’s strategy to realise value through a series of near term catalysts including farmout, drilling and the potential for the fast-track development of the Loba Oil Field.
The Company has a fully costed Concept and Feasibility Study (CFS) for the fast-track development of the Loba Oil Field. The critical next critical step is to secure funding through a farmout for a well to carry out a production test and prove a commercial flow rate and book reserves. In this regard, the Company has undertaken a study by an independent flow assurance expert which modelled flow rates in excess of the threshold for a commercial development, which has further de-risked the project.
The economics for the development of the Loba Oil Field show the significant potential value this strategy can deliver to shareholders in the near term (refer the Company’s announcement of 13 September 2016 for detailed economics). The Company has already identified suitable topside facilities that are readily available on a cost-effective basis. The approach adopted by the Company in the fast-track CFS would allow the Company to achieve first production within a period of as little as 12 months after a successful production test.
In this way, the Company seeks to transform itself from an explorer into a developer and producer. Loba presents an exciting and transformative opportunity for the Company and its shareholders with the potential to generate near term cash flow from early production from the field.
Madagascar
The Company recently renegotiated the terms of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Government of the Republic of Madagascar and the regulator (OMNIS) and also increased its equity to 100% and assumed Operatorship of the Ambilobe block. The Company now has reduced financial exposure and a total of up to 5 years tenure remaining on the block.
Interpretation of the newly acquired 3D seismic data continues, with preliminary interpretation revealing large structures. The aim is to generate drill ready prospects ahead of a farm-out campaign.
2
Cost Reduction Program
In response to current market conditions, the Board has taken positive action over the past year to reduce costs and conserve cash. These initiatives included the closure of the Melbourne office, reduction in head count by more than 50% as well as various other cost saving measures.
The Managing Director voluntarily accepted a 22% reduction in base salary and the Non-Executive Directors fees were reduced by 75% with effect from 16 May 2016. Furthermore, the Company’s CFO was made redundant on 1 June 2016 and has not been replaced. All finance and administrative staff are shared with another company in order to reduce the cost to Pura Vida.
The measures described above have reduced the Company’s overall wages and salary expense has been reduced by 60% over the past two years.
Corporate overheads are currently estimated at $1.2 to $1.5 million per annum based on resourcing requirements to operate the Company’s projects.
The Company finished the year with approximately A$6 million cash at bank and has subsequently received a US$1.5 million (A$2 million) deposit toward the settlement of the second well commitment in Morocco. The Company is in a sound financial position with further events to play out which may greatly improve the financial strength of the Company.
Near term value creation
Management are looking to close transactions relating to Morocco and Gabon in order to realise near term value. The Company is in a sound cash position and the potential value of these transactions is not yet reflected in the share price.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their support and I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Yours sincerely

7 RESOLUTIONS 6 & 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – PLACEMENT – ASX LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
7.1 BACKGROUND
On 19 February 2016, the Company announced the successful completion of a placement of 36,542,208 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $986,640 (before costs and fees) pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The funds raised from the placement were applied to the general working capital of the Company.
Of the 36,542,208 Shares issued:
-
(a) 21,403,615 were issued without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing 7.1 (Resolution 6); and
-
(b) 15,138,593 were issued under the Company’s additional placement facility which was approved by Shareholders at the 2015 annual general meeting held on 11 November 2015 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 7).
7.2 ASX LISTING RULES
Resolutions 6 and 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A gives a company the ability to issue equity securities under a 10% placement facility provided the company has obtained shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. Shareholder approval of the 10% placement facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and
-
(b) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under either ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The Shareholders previously approved a 10% placement facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Company which was held on 11 November 2015.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (provided that the previous issues did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A as relevant.
The effect of passing Resolutions 6 and 7 will allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
7.3 TECHNICAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULES

9 RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
9.1 GENERAL
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 9.2 below).
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 9 for it to be passed.
12
9.2 ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation (undiluted) of $10.5 million.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: PVD).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
9.3 TECHNICAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 9:
(a) ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.4
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 255, 983,404 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 38,397,510 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 9, 25,598,340 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2 above).
(b) Minimum price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
13
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five ASX trading days of the date in section 10.3(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Date of issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(d) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue* |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.023 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.046 Current Issue Price |
$0.069 50% increase in Issue Price |
|
| 255,983,414 (Current) |
Shares Issued - 10% voting dilution | 25,597,841 Shares | 25,597,841 Shares | 25,597,841 Shares |
| Funds raised | $588,750 | $1,177,501 | $1766,251 | |
| 383,967,621 (50% increase) |
Shares Issued - 10% voting dilution | 38,396,762 Shares | 38,396,762 Shares | 38,396,762 Shares |
| Funds raised | $883,126 | $1,766,251 | $2,649,377 | |
| 511,956,828 (100% increase) |
Shares Issued - 10% voting dilution | 51,195,683 Shares | 51,195,683 Shares | 51,195,683 Shares |
| Funds raised | $1,177,501 | $2,355,001 | $3,532,502 |
* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do
not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 28 September 2016.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 28 September 2016.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
14
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
(e) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised towards the ongoing costs associated with the exploration of its existing projects and to investigate and capture additional assets consistent with the Company’s strategy and which complement these projects. Funds raised will be used to meet cash payments for these additional acquisitions, while also being used to fund subsequent exploration activities associated with the new acquisitions; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new projects or otherwise as consideration for services rendered by non-related third parties to the Company, where it is considered appropriate by the Board to do so. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
(f) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(g) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2015 annual general meeting held on 11 November 2015. The Company issued 15,138,593 Shares on 19 February 2016 pursuant to that ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval.
The total net amount of Equity Securities issued in the 12 month period was 103,288,229 representing approximately 35.90% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 12 November 2015, being 184,387,435.
