MANAGING DIRECTOR ’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of one (1) New Share for every three (3) existing Shares held by you on the Record Date (5.00 pm (AWST) on Monday, 29 February 2016) at an issue price of $0.027 per New Share to raise approximately $1.7 million (before costs and fees) ( Offer ).

On Tuesday, 16 February 2016, the Company announced a capital raising, comprising a Placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $987,000 and the Offer, to raise up to approximately $2.7 million (together, the Capital Raising ). The Placement successfully completed on Friday, 19 February 2016. This Offer Document relates to the Offer.

Funds raised from the Capital Raising (after costs and fees) will be used to primarily fund the Company’s capital expenditure for exploration activities on its licence permits.

Overview of the Offer

The Offer is being made to Eligible Shareholders who are registered as a holder of Pura Vida Shares as at 5.00 pm (AWST) on the Record Date, Monday, 29 February 2016.

Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to subscribe for one (1) New Share for every three (3) existing Shares of which they are the registered holder at 5.00 pm (AWST) on the Record Date at an issue price of $0.027 per New Share. The Offer is non-renounceable. Eligible Shareholders are also invited to apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement under the Excess Entitlement Facility if there is a shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer.

Company Strategy

Following the disappointing results of the first well in the Mazagan permit, offshore Morocco and the sustained low oil prices, the Company has been focusing inwardly to cut costs and ensure the Company remains well funded to pursue its future strategic objectives. The Company has previously announced the details of these cost saving initiatives, and I am pleased to advise that the Company is on track to deliver meaningful cost savings this year.

As noted in our announcement of 12 February 2016, the Company has written to PXP Morocco B.V. ( PXP ) (a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas) reserving its rights in relation to the second well obligation in the Mazagan permit. The joint venture parties are in discussions and timely resolution of this matter is an important priority for the Company.

Sustained low oil prices has hampered progress in securing a farmin partner for the work program in Gabon, however, the Company believes the Nkembe block has excellent potential. Whilst there is a lot of speculation about future oil prices, the consensus view amongst analysts sees oil prices making a recovery during this year. Our technical efforts have recently been focusing on the shallow oil plays within the Nkembe block which present low cost, near-term drilling opportunities. The Company remains committed to finding a partner to fund drilling on the Nkembe block.

In Madagascar, new 3D seismic data has been acquired and we are finalising the processing and interpretation of that data ahead of commencing a farmout process later this year.

In pursuit of the strategies outlined above, the Company reviewed its funding requirements and on 19 February 2016 announced the successful Placement to sophisticated and professional investors of 36.5 million Shares to raise $986,640 (before costs and fees). These investors are supportive of the Company’s strategy and, we believe, will be instrumental in rebuilding the value of the Company. The Board recognises the loyalty and support shown by existing Shareholders and, by this Offer, has ensured existing Shareholders have an opportunity to participate at the same price as the Placement.

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to participate in this Offer and join us in our endeavours to rebuild the value of the Company.

Yours sincerely

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

All of the Shares offered under this Offer Document will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Offer Document.

1.2 Use of Funds

Completion of the Offer will result in an increase in cash in hand by up to approximately $1.7 million (before the payment of costs and fees associated with the Offer). The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Offer towards exploration expenditure (including new ventures), costs and fees associated with this Offer and working capital. The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Offer as follows:

Use of Funds1 $

1,225,000

2 Working capital includes corporate administration and operating costs and may be applied to ASX and share registry fees, legal, tax, audit, corporate advisory fees, insurance and other costs.

3 The fees payable to Hartleys and Advantage are set out in Sections 1.11 and 1.12 respectively.

The table above is a statement of the Board’s current intentions as at the date of this Offer Document. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including the outcome of operational and development activities, regulatory developments, market and general economic conditions and environmental factors. In light of this, the Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.

New Shares
Entitlement Monies
($)
Mr Jeff Dowling 350,000 - 116,667 3,150
Mr Damon Neaves 5,675,000 236,250 1,970,417 53,201
Mr Ric Malcolm 420,717 - 140,239 3,786
  • 1 Mr Dowling and Mr Malcolm intend to take up their Entitlement under the Offer.

  • 2 Mr Dowling holds 1,000,000 options exercisable at $0.91 on or before 13 January 2017, which will provide an additional Entitlement should they be exercised prior to the Record Date. This is unlikely as the exercise price is out of the money as at the date of this Offer Document.

  • 3 Mr Malcolm holds 500,000 options exercisable at $0.91 on or before 13 January 2017, which will provide an additional Entitlement should they be exercised prior to the Record Date. This is unlikely as the exercise price is out of the money as at the date of this Offer Document.

  • 4 Mr Neaves holds 2,500,000 options exercisable at $0.40 on or before 6 September 2016, which will provide an additional Entitlement should they be exercised prior to the Record Date. This is unlikely as the exercise price is out of the money as at the date of this Offer Document.

  • 5 Mr Neaves holds 4,725,000 partly paid shares of which $0.01 per Share has been paid. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the partly paid shares, Mr Neaves is entitled to participate in the Offer pro-rata to the proportion of the total issued price paid ($0.01). Mr Neaves may have an additional Entitlement should he pay in full ($0.19) the partly paid shares prior to the Record Date.

Due to restrictions under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors cannot participate in the Excess Entitlement Facility or Shortfall, as described in Sections 1.9 and 1.10 below.

1.9 Excess Entitlement Facility

If you decide not to accept all or part of your Entitlement pursuant to the Offer Document, you are not required to take any action under this Section.

Page 9

Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their full Entitlement may apply for additional New Shares ( Excess Shares ) in excess of their Entitlement ( Excess Entitlement Facility ). Excess Shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer ( Entitlement Shortfall ). Excess Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares under the Offer at an issue price of $0.027 per New Share.

The Company proposes to adopt the following allocation policy for Excess Shares subscribed pursuant to the Excess Entitlement Facility:

  • (a) the Excess Shares will be allocated at the Company’s discretion;

  • (b) no person is permitted to increase its relevant interest to more than 20% of the total number of Shares on issue following the Offer through an application for Excess Shares under this mechanism;

  • (c) if a relevant interest of 20% or more is already held by a person, then no increase is permitted;

  • (d) the Excess Shares will be allocated on the Issue Date; and

  • (e) if any Shortfall remains after the Excess Entitlement Facility allocation has been completed, it will be dealt with in accordance with Section 1.10 below.

Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders who apply for Excess Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Excess Shares than applied for (whether wholly or partially) in which case excess application money will be refunded without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Company does not guarantee that you will receive any Excess Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors will allocate Excess Shares under the Excess Entitlement Facility before the allocation of any Shortfall in accordance with Section 1.10 below. In the event all Excess Shares are subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the Excess Entitlement Facility, there will be no Shortfall.

If you wish to subscribe for Excess Shares in addition to your full Entitlement, then you should complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form filling in the spaces provided and make the corresponding payment for your full Entitlement plus the value of any Excess Shares subscribed for, or follow the instructions for BPAY set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The Directors and any related parties are unable to participate in the Excess Entitlement Facility due to restrictions under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules. Accordingly, no Excess Shares will be issued to the Directors or any related parties.

1.10 Shortfall Shares

After the issue and allocation of Excess Shares under the Excess Entitlement Facility, and subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to deal with the New Shares which are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Offer or the Excess Entitlement Facility ( Shortfall Shares ).

The Shortfall Shares will be issued at the same issue price as offered to Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Offer Document, being $0.027 per New Share issued under the Shortfall.

Following completion of the Offer and Excess Entitlement Facility, the Directors may invite persons to apply for Shortfall Shares under this Offer Document by completing an application form for Shortfall Shares and returning it to the Company together with the relevant application money.

The Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall Shares as set out below within three (3) months following the Closing Date of the Offer.

The Directors and any related parties are unable to be issued Shortfall Shares due to restrictions under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules. Accordingly, no Shortfall Shares will be issued to the Directors or any related parties.

  • (c) the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in the respective overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders outside Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom unless those Shareholders would be eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer of, and be issued, New Shares under the Offer.

Where this Offer Document has been dispatched to an Ineligible Shareholder and where that jurisdiction’s law, code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offer, this Offer Document is provided for information purposes only.

3 RISK FACTORS

3.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Offer Document should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

Whilst the Directors recommend that Shareholders take up their Entitlement, there are numerous risk factors involved. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which Securities will trade.

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. Prospective investors should read this Offer Document in its entirety before deciding whether to apply for New Shares under this Offer Document.

These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Securities in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to this Offer Document.

The Company maintains a risk register that addresses the specific risks related to the following material business risks to the Company. The risk register is reviewed by the Directors bi-annually.

3.2 Material Business Risks

Pura Vida is an African oil explorer with licence permits in Morocco, Gabon and Madagascar which are currently in the exploration phase. There are certain risks that the Company is not currently exposed to due to the Company not being in the development and production phases, however, these risks are common and/or relevant to the exploration and general operations of the Company and are highlighted below.

The international scope of the Company’s operations, the nature of the oil industry and external economic factors mean that a range of factors may impact results. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors that could impact the Company’s results and performance and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. Potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.

(a) Financing, Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding Risk

As the Company is in the exploration phase and has finite financial resources, additional financing will be required in order to meet its minimum expenditure commitments for its licence permits and to carry out its oil exploration activities.

The Company’s ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time and keep its permits in good standing will depend on its ability to raise additional funds, or find alternative ways to keep its assets in good standing. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. Failure to obtain appropriate financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to have an impaired ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete exploration programs, forfeit its exploration interests in its licence permits, and reduce or terminate its operations entirely. If the Company raised additional funds through the issue of equity securities, this may result in dilution to the existing shareholders and/or a change of control of the Company.

The Company also relies on funding from industry partners through farmout arrangements. There is a risk that farmout partners may not be secured to fund activities and contractual risk that the counterparties to the farmout agreements may not fully perform their obligations.

Page 15

(b) Exploration Risk

Oil exploration is a speculative endeavour and the nature of the business carries a degree of risk associated with the discovery of hydrocarbons in commercial quantities. Exploration risk may be adversely influenced by a number of different factors including, amongst other things, new subsurface geological and geophysical data (e.g. seismic data), drilling results from either wells drilled by the Company or other industry players, where the well drilled has direct relevance to the plays and prospects being pursued in its licence permits. This information impacts knowledge of the fundamental geological factors that are required to be present in order to have a hydrocarbon accumulation. These fundamental elements require there to be an effective; trap, reservoir, seal, source rock presence, maturity of source rock for hydrocarbon generation and migration of hydrocarbon charge from the source rocks into a trap. Each of these elements are required and their presence needs to be effective in order to have a hydrocarbon discovery that may or may not be able to be commercialised.

The business of oil exploration involves risks and hazards. For example, in an exploration context, no assurance can be given that hydrocarbons will be detected and if they are, whether they are in quantities likely to be commercialised under conventional conditions within the term of the licence permit. High risk and substantial expense can be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward. Even if commercial quantities of oil are discovered unforeseen risks can arise in the development and production phases.

(c) Operational Risk

The business of oil exploration, development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on, amongst other things:

  • (i) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

  • (ii) access to adequate capital for project development;

  • (iii) securing and maintaining licence permits;

  • (iv) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of oil exploration,

  • (v) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants; and

  • (vi) availability of equipment, such as seismic vessels or drilling rigs, within the necessary time frame.

Whether or not income will result from licence permits depends on successful exploration, appraisal and establishment of production facilities.

There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future licence permits will result in the discovery of economic reserves. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.

(d) Other Operational Risks

In addition to the risks listed above, industry operating risks include fire, explosions, blow outs, pipe failures, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of petroleum liquids, gas leaks, ruptures, or discharge of toxic gases. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life; damage to or destruction of property, natural resources, or equipment; pollution or other environmental damage; clean-up responsibilities; regulatory investigation and penalties or suspension of operations. Damages occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may also give rise to claims against the Company.

The Company manages operational risk through a variety of means including selecting suitably experienced qualified joint venture partners and operators, regular monitoring the performance of operators in accordance with the Company’s policies, recruitment and retention of appropriately qualified employees and contractors, establishment and use of a Company risk management system. In addition, the Company has insurance programs in place and specific policies in relation to drilling operations that are consistent with good industry practice.

Page 16

(e) Uncertainty of Exploration and Development Programs

Among the many uncertainties inherent in any exploration and development program are the location of oil, the development of appropriate processes, the receipt of necessary governmental permits, access to permits and the construction of processing facilities. Assuming the discovery of oil, several years may lapse from the initial phases of drilling until commercial operations commence and, during such time, the economic feasibility of production may change. Accordingly, the Company’s exploration and development program may not result in any new economically viable operations.

(f) Joint Venture Risk

The Company is a party to various contracts. In particular, the Company’s interest in its various licence permits where it does not hold a 100% ownership interest arises by virtue of a joint venture agreement which operates to regulate the risks and obligations of the owners of those licence permits. The use of joint ventures is common in the oil industry and usually exist through all stages of the oil lifecycle. The Company currently has joint venture agreements for the Mazagan permit, offshore Morocco and also the Ambilobe block, offshore Madagascar which are subject to the joint venture risks described below.

Joint venture arrangements, amongst other things, mainly serve to mitigate the risk associated with exploration success and capital intensive development phases. However, failure to establish alignment between joint venture partners, poor performance of third party joint venture operators or the failure of joint venture partners to meet their commitments and share of costs and liabilities could have a material impact on the Company’s business.

The Company manages joint venture risk through careful partner selection and relationship management. However, there is a contractual risk that joint venture partners may not perform their obligations under these contractual arrangements. In the event the Company’s joint venture partners do not meet their contractual obligations there is a risk the Company’s licence permits may be at risk of regulatory penalties, including financial penalties and/or forfeiture or cancellation of the permits (refer paragraph (g) below).

(g) Government and Regulator Risk

The Company’s rights, obligations and commercial arrangements through all stages of the oil lifecycle (exploration, development and production) in international oil licence permits are commonly defined in agreements entered into with the relevant country’s Government as well as in the Country’s petroleum and tax related legislation and other laws. These agreements and laws are at risk of amendment in the future by Governments which accordingly could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s rights and commercial arrangements.

Due to the evolving nature of exploration work programs such as new technical data becoming available, the fluctuating availability of petroleum equipment and services or lack of funding, the Company may seek to negotiate variations to licence permit agreements. In particular in respect to the duration of the exploration phases and work program commitments. There is a risk that the Company may be unsuccessful in obtaining these variations or extensions from the relevant country’s Government or the regulator.

The Company manages Government and regulator risk through careful relationship management. Failure to maintain mutually acceptable arrangements between the Company, Government and the regulator could have an adverse material impact on the Company’s business including the payment of financial penalties or compensation, forfeiture or relinquishment of licence permits resulting in less commercially advantageous terms being imposed on licence permits.

(h) Sovereign Risk

The Company’s strategy is focused on oil exploration in Africa, in countries that are considered to be still developing and maturing. Uncertainty exists as to the stability of the regulatory and political environment in which the Company operates and there is potential for sovereign events to have a material impact on the investment and security environment within the country. The Company manages sovereign risk through closely monitoring political developments and events and careful country due diligence prior to new country entry.

Page 17

(i) Environmental Risk

Oil operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with ensuring they are carried out in a manner that is responsible to the environment. The Company complies with prevailing environmental laws and regulations imposed by each country in which it operates. Such laws and regulations could be revised at any time and result in new obligations and limitations brought about by unanticipated environmental restrictions which may impact operations as well as costs.

The Company identifies risks, threats, hazards and other environmental considerations and implements control measures to mitigate such risks. Any accidents, incidents or near misses are reported to the Board. Careful selection and engagement of contractors is undertaken to ensure adherence to the Company’s policies and appropriate contingency arrangements are put in place which include but are not limited to having insurances in place that are consistent with good industry practice and selection and retention of appropriately qualified personnel.

(j) Resource Estimates

The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recoverable by the application of future development projects relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development.

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge at that time as well as experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information or techniques become available. As a consequence, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the Company identifies a resource or reserve, actual oil reserves and resources (including grade and quantity) may differ from those estimated at an earlier time which may result in alterations to development plans that may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

3.3 General Economic Climate

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on opening costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company’s future revenues and Share price may be affected by these factors, as well as by fluctuations in the price of oil or other commodities, which are beyond the Company’s control.

3.4 Sharemarket Conditions

The market price of the Company’s Shares may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resources stocks in particular.

3.5 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Offer Document. Therefore, the Securities offered pursuant to this Offer Document carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends or returns of capital of the market value of the Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares under the Offer.
