EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO A DIRECTOR – PAUL UNDERWOOD

1.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 10,000,000 Shares to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee) at an issue price of $0.01 per Share to raise $100,000 ( Placement ).

1.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Paul Underwood is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Paul Underwood who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Placement because the Shares will be issued to Mr Paul Underwood on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Company’s most recent capital raising completed in January 2012 and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

1.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Placement involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

1.4

Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

6

  • (a) the Shares will be allotted and issued to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee);

  • (b) the number of Shares to be issued is 10,000,000;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.01 per Share;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the funds raised from the subscription for Shares by Mr Paul Underwood will be used for working capital.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Placement as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO A DIRECTOR – PAUL UNDERWOOD

2.1 General

On 15 February 2012, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Paul Underwood as Executive Chairman of the Company. The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 60,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee).

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out above in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 respectively.

The grant of Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Paul Underwood is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Paul Underwood who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the agreement to grant the Related Party Options was reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Paul Underwood is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

7

2.2 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the Related Party Options will be granted to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee);

  • (b) the number of Related Party Options to be issued is 60,000,000, comprising:

  • (i) 15,000,000 Class A Options;

  • (ii) 15,000,000 Class B Options;

  • (iii) 15,000,000 Class C Options;

  • (iv) 15,000,000 Class D Options;

  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (d) with the Related Party Options being materially out of the money, they will be granted for total consideration of $579.55, a value calculated using the Black and Scholes formula;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedules 1 to 4; and

  • (f) the funds raised from the grant of the Related Party Options will be used for working capital.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options to Mr Paul Underwood (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to Triple Energy Limited .

If Resolution 3 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company and if Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing Instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  • ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.

  • ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) post to Tango Petroleum Limited, Suite 9, 1200 Hay Street, WEST PERTH, WA 6005; or

  • (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9324 3045; or

  • (c) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
