This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary to this document.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice of Meeting, please contact the Company Secretary, your accountant, solicitor, stockbroker or other professional advisor before voting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – DISPOSAL OF MAIN UNDERTAKING
1.1 Proposed Transaction
As announced to ASX on 18 November 2025, the Company entered a Heads of Agreement with Vintage Energy Ltd ACN 609 200 580 ( Vintage ) dated 17 November 2025 ( HoA ) to sell the Company's 25% non-operated interest in licences located within the following two gas producing fields located in the Southern Flank of the Cooper Eromanga Basis ( Sale Tenements ):
-
the Odin Gas Field, located across the South Australia-Queensland border ( ATP2021 Tenement and PRL211 Tenement ); and
-
the Vali Gas Field, located in Queensland, adjacent to the Queensland-South Australia border ( ATP2021 Tenement ),
( Proposed Transaction ).
The Sale Tenements are currently owned by the Company (25%), Vintage (50% and operatorship) and Bridgeport (Cooper Basin) Pty Ltd (25%) ( Bridgeport ).
As announced to ASX on 12 December 2025, the Company and Vintage subsequently entered a formal Petroleum Title Sale Agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction dated 12 December 2025 ( Sale Agreement ).
1.2 Listing Rule 11.2
Listing Rule 11.2 requires a listed company to obtain the approval of its shareholders to a disposal of its main undertaking. The Proposed Transaction is a disposal of the Company's main undertaking for these purposes.
Resolution 1 seeks the required shareholder approval to the Proposed Transaction under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.2.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction and will be able to dispose of assets which are not generating sufficient cash flow to support the ongoing business and asset cost-base of the Company and repay certain debt (as further described in section 1.6). Please see section 1.7 for further information regarding the implications of Resolution 1 being passed and the Company's intentions after completion of the Proposed Transaction ( Completion ).
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction and will immediately require a significant amount of new capital (as outlined in section 1.4) to remain solvent and trade as a going concern. Based on previous capital raisings in CY24 and CY25, the Board does not believe it would be able to attract the level of capital required to fund the current assets operations and future capital requirements in the next year.
1.3 Material terms of the Sale Agreement
The material terms of the Sale Agreement include the following:
6
| Parties | Metgasco Limited Vintage Energy Ltd |
|---|---|
| Effective date | If Completion occurs, the transfer of title and risk in the assets will have an effective date of 1 December 2025 as if Completion had occurred on that date (although Completion will occur after 1 December 2025). |
| Purchase Price | Consideration of $5.9 million payable by Vintage to Metgasco at Completion (subject to certain adjustments including deduction of Net Revenue (as defined below) earned by Metgasco between the Effective Date and Completion). Net Revenuemeans revenue received from gas and condensate sales less any process costs, carbon costs and other direct expenses incurred in earning the revenue. |
| Sale Assets | The sale assets are to include the Company's 25% participating interest in the joint venture assets including PRL 211 (SA), ATP 2021 (QLD), PPL 2070 (QLD) and Special Facilities Licence 16 (SA) (Licences). |
| Assumed contractual rights, obligations and liabilities |
Vintage will assume all associated joint venture assets and agreements and other contractual rights and liabilities of the Company, including the liabilities associated with the AGL gas pre- payment under the Vali Gas Field Gas Supply Agreement. Metgasco received a gas pre-payment from AGL of $3.75 million. As at 31 October 2025, $3.39 million of the prepayment remained to be fulfilled, which Vintage will assume liability for. |
| Excluded liabilities | Vintage's assumed liabilities will exclude any private royalty or other payment obligation payable by the Company to Glennon Small Companies Ltd (and/or nominee) (GSCL), being an entity associated with Director Michael Glennon (of a current estimated amount of approximately $6m), or any other payment obligation payable by the Company to any non-governmental third party. Following repayment of existing debt by Metgasco, royalties will be terminated. |
| Cash call coverage | VEN will fund MEL's cash call obligations for the ATP 2021 Tenement and PRL211 Tenement cash calls for December 2025 and January 2026 (of an estimated aggregate amount of approximately $260,000) by way of an interest-free loan, to be forgiven if the Proposed Transaction completes. If Completion does not occur by 31 January 2026, VEN has agreed to fund MEL's cash call obligations for February 2026 (estimated amount of approximately $120,000). The loan is repayable by the later of 28 February 2026 and 5 business days of demand being made by VEN if Completion does not occur. |
| Conditions precedent | Completion will be subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent by no later than 31 March 2026, including those set out below. • Vintage securing funding commitments sufficient to fulfill its obligations by 28 December 2025; |
7
| • Vintage completing the purchase of Bridgeport's 25% interest in the Sale Tenements by 26 February 2026; • the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.2; • Vintage obtaining shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction under the ASX Listing Rules Chapter 11 (if required); • all necessary ministerial consents being obtained in relation to transfer of Licences; and • certain third-party consents, including AGL, being obtained in relation to assignment of material contracts. |
|
|---|---|
| Exclusivity | Metgasco must comply with certain exclusivity obligations in relation to the Proposed Transaction until 31 December 2025. |
| Break Fee | A break fee of $100,000 will be payable by Metgasco to Vintage if prior to 31 December 2025: • any member of the Metgasco Board fails to recommend, or recommends against, qualifies their support of or withdraws their recommendation or approval of the Proposed Transaction; or • a competing transaction arises in certain circumstances. Metgasco's obligation to pay the break fee is subject to certain exceptions, including if either Metgasco or Vintage shareholder approval is not obtained under ASX Listing Rules Chapter 11 (as required). |
| Warranties | Metgasco provides limited warranties in relation to the Sale Assets, including confirmation of ownership and unencumbered title (other than permitted encumbrances) and no litigation or threatened litigation concerning the Sale Assets. The warranties apply for a period of 12 months from Completion. Metgasco's maximum aggregate liability for all claims arising under the Sale Agreement including warranty claims is limited to the Purchase Price. |
1.4 Background on the Company and rationale for the Proposed Transaction
Metgasco is an onshore Australia-focussed oil and gas exploration and production company with a 25% non-operated interest in the following two gas producing fields located in the Southern Flank of the Cooper Eromanga Basin:
-
Odin gas field, which straddles the South Australia-Queensland border (PRL211 & ATP2021); and
-
Vali gas field, which is located in Queensland, adjacent to the Queensland-South Australia border (ATP2021).
Three appraisal wells have been drilled on Vali gas field and two wells on Odin gas field along with the installation of facilities and pipelines allowing gas production appraisal testing to begin via a tie in to the Beckler field in 2023. Metgasco generates sales revenue from gas and gas liquids produced from its Cooper Basin portfolio via long term gas contracts to gas customers AGL and Engie.
8
A strategic review of the Company was announced by Metgasco to ASX on 31 October 2024. During the last year several corporate opportunities were assessed, none of which proceeded.
During CY2025 the Company has worked proactively with the ATP2021 and PRL211 joint venture partners on the 'Production Uplift Program' ( PUP ) to improve gas productivity from all five existing gas wells. The results of the PUP program have not met anticipated production expectations to date and consequently have not been sufficient to generate cash flow to support the ongoing business and asset cost-base of the Company.
The Company currently has a negative cash flow yield[1] and based on current budgeted cash flow forecasts immediately requires up to approximately $0.9 million (60% JV and 40% MEL) of capital[2] to remain a going concern in FY26 if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed. For FY27 it is estimated that further business capital of approximately $4.5 million would be required, if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed, based on the following assumptions:
-
Drilling of four new wells (two at Vali gas field and two at Odin gas field)3 based on historical costs not including completion, stimulation and tie-in; and
-
The existing debt agreements with GSCL, which are due to expire in March 2026 and December 2025, are extended on similar terms.
The Board considers that there is a high risk that Metgasco will not be able to raise capital estimated above in the market (equity or debt). A key responsibility of the Board is to ensure the Company does not run the risk of insolvent trading. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Metgasco recommend that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and recommend shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Proposed Transaction
1.5 Advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
(a) Advantages
The Directors consider the follow non-exhaustive list of advantages of the Proposed Transaction may be relevant to Shareholders decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
the Proposed Transaction allows the Company to continue as a going concern by divesting assets which have negative cashflow.
-
the reduction in the Company's liabilities that will occur on repayment of debt using proceeds of the Proposed Transaction will improve the Company's balance sheet;
-
The transaction transfers the liabilities associated with the AGL gas pre-payment under the Vali Gas Field Gas Supply Agreement to Vintage. This is estimated at $3.39 million as at 31 October 2025; and
-
The Proposed Transaction will enable the Company to consider alternative potential investments and acquisitions.
(b) Disadvantages
The Directors consider the follow non-exhaustive list of disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction may be relevant to Shareholders decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
the Company will divest its interest in its main undertaking, being the ATP2021 Tenement and PRL211 Tenement, which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of Shareholders;
-
the Company will sell its main undertaking and be required by ASX, within a period of 6 months from the date of execution of the HoA (i.e. by 17 May 2026) to identify a potential new investment or acquisition or risk being suspended from trading by ASX and possibly

be required to re-comply with Chapter 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules before its Shares can be reinstated to trading;
-
the Company may not be able to locate and acquire other suitable assets or investments, in which case the Company would look at the most appropriate method of returning the Company's available cash, which may not be a material amount, to Shareholders at that point in time; and
-
there is no guarantee that any future acquisition or investment will be completed or successful, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
1.6 Use of funds and financial effect of the Proposed Transaction
The consideration received from the Proposed Transaction will be used to repay the Company's existing debt to GSCL, which as at the date of this Notice, is estimated to be approximately $6m.
An unaudited pro forma statement of financial position of the Company, that has been prepared to enable Shareholders to assess the potential effect of the Proposed Transaction on the financial position of the Company, as at 30 June 2025 is set out in Annexure A to this Notice.
1.7 Implications of Resolution 1 being passed and Company's intentions on Completion
If the Proposed Transaction proceed to Completion, the Company will not have any substantial business operations or assets. Accordingly, the Company will seek to identify and acquire new assets and business opportunities by 17 May 2026 (i.e. within 6 months of execution of the HoA), to maintain a sufficient level of operations and financial condition for continued listing as required by ASX Listing Rules 12.1 and 12.2.
ASX will generally continue quoting an entity's securities for a period of 6 months from the date of the agreement to dispose of its main undertaking. If an entity is not able to make an announcement of its intention to acquire a new business within that 6-month period, ASX will generally suspend the quotation of its securities at the end of that 6-month period. The suspension will continue until the entity makes an announcement acceptable to ASX about its future.
The Company intends to continue pursuing new assets* and business opportunities within the oil and gas exploration sector which the Board considers will have the potential to add value to Shareholders. These new business opportunities may take the form of;
-
A potential farm-in deal for exploration of a third parties' assets;
-
A potential purchase of a third parties' producing assets; or
-
Application for new exploration gazettals. Note that the Queensland Government has informed Metgasco on 10 December 2025 that the exploration gazettal application as summarised in MEL’s 26 November 2025 AGM presentation has not been successful.
If the Proposed Transaction proceeds, the Company will be taking steps to reduce overall corporate and administration costs via the reduction of renumeration paid the Managing Director (from 0.8FTE to 0.3FTE) and Board (50% reduction in Directors' fees) from 1 January 2026 The opportunities listed above would require a range of funding requirements. Methods of seeking additional capital required for the potential business opportunities described above would include capital raisings to current and new shareholders
If following the Proposed Transaction, the Company pursues an acquisition opportunity that ASX deems is a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities, the Company will need to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List of ASX. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to re-comply.
1.8 Change to Board and senior management
There will be no changes to members of the Board or senior management as a result of the Proposed Transaction.
1.9 Indicative timetable
An indicative timetable for the Proposed Transaction is set out below.
10
| Event | Date* |
|---|---|
| Execution of Sale Agreement | 12 December 2025 |
| EGM to be held (to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 11.2) |
14 January 2026 |
| Completion of Proposed Transaction | February 2026 |
*The dates above are indicative only and are subject to change as agreed between the Company and the Vintage or as required by the ASX.
1.10 Board Recommendation
