EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

The Meeting will be held both physically, at the offices of Squire Patton Boggs and virtually, via the Lumi online platform (see instructions for access in the Notice of Meeting).

1. BACKGROUND

The Company has undertaken capital raising of $8.0 million (before costs) to support and provide sufficient working capital for undertaking the Company's business plan. Pilot's business plan is centred on leveraging its existing oil and gas assets into competitive clean energy projects. Over the coming 12 months Pilot's activities will generally include:

  • Oil and Gas operations
    • o Continuing operations at the Cliff Head Oil Field;
    • o Exploration and appraisal of the WA 481P and EP 416/EP 480 exploration permits;
  • Blue Hydrogen
    • o Cliff Head Blue hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project feasibility study;
    • o South West Blue hydrogen and CCS Project feasibility study;
    • o Blue hydrogen/CO2 capture and energy generation technology study
  • Renewables
    • o Mid West Wind and Solar project feasibility study
    • o Offshore Wind baseline study

Pilot's assets and projects together with facilities and infrastructure that Pilot proposes to develop (namely, a CO2 pipeline and injection facility, blue hydrogen plant & the South West CCS site, offshore and onshore wind, solar, renewable hydrogen plant, substation, transmission lines and H2 pipeline from renewable hydrogen plant to DBNGP) are depicted in the Figure 1. Subject to the results of the feasibility studies, future projects may leverage existing assets and resources to develop world class clean energy projects across Mid West and South West regions of Western Australia.

Pilot has developed the scope of the feasibility assessments in conjunction with a team of internationally experienced contractors that are proposed to assist with the various studies. Engagement arrangements with each contractor have been materially progressed and the commencement of a majority of the feasibility activities are drafted to be conditional on shareholder approval of the Resolutions and reinstatement of Pilot securities on ASX Official List.

2 EP 437 interest is under review for future divestment.

(i) Cliff Head Oil Field Joint Venture

The Cliff Head Oil Field operations involve the continued production of oil from the existing Cliff Head producing wells at a forecast average production of approximately 800bbls/day. Supporting this production involves routine and non-routine operating activities and the transportation of the produced oil to the BP Kwinana Terminal Facility. Under the current arrangements with BP, oil is stored at the BP Kwinana Terminal Facility. The joint venture is working to finalise offtake arrangements.

The Cliff Head Oil Field Joint Venture is planning a workover on the CH-6 and CH-11 oil production wells and are continuing to plan activities associated with future exploration and appraisal drilling programs. The Independent Expert and Independent Technical Expert reports (dated 21 April 2021) accompanying the Pilot Notice of Meeting held on 28 May 2021 (IER), detail a number of additional field development drilling locations in the Cliff Head Oil Field (the Asset Life Extension Project). The IER refers to gross 2C Contingent Resource of approximately 2 mmbbls and a gross Best Estimate Prospective Resource of 5.4 mmbbls. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information set out in the IER and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the IER continue to apply and have not materially changed.

With respect to the Prospective Resources associated with the Asset Life Extension Project, the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

As announced by Triangle on 15 March 2021, the Cliff Head Oil Field Joint Venture has commenced a

farmout process to introduce a new joint venture partner to assist with the drilling of the priority targets the subject of the Asset Life Extension Project.

(ii) WA-481P Oil and Gas Exploration Joint Venture

The exploration and evaluation program is aligned with the current approved minimum work program as summarised below.

On completion of the WA-481P sale of interest to Triangle, Triangle will be the operator of the WA-481-P joint venture and will free carry Pilot for the Years 1 – 3 work program. During the free carry period Triangle determines the timing of the work program activities, however Pilot expects the activities in the next 6 months to include geological and geophysical studies and seismic reprocessing.

(iii) EP 416 and EP 480 Oil and Gas Exploration Joint Venture

Following Pilot's acquisition of a 100% interest in EP 416 and EP 480, it has engaged with the WA Government Department of Mines, Industry and Safety and recently submitted a request to vary the minimum work program. These submissions remain under review at this time. The following tables reflect the proposed minimum work program.

(iv) EP 437

As part of Pilot's transaction to acquire Key's interest in WA–481-P the parties agreed that Pilot would not be required to fund any further expenditure on this permit. Pilot intends to divest its interest in this permit.

B. Blue Hydrogen

(i) Cliff Head Blue Hydrogen and CCS Project feasibility study

The aim of this study is to assess the overall viability of a significant asset life extension of the Cliff Head Oil Field through the implementation of a CO2 enhanced oil recovery production project as a carbon capture and utilization project (CCUS) or as a CCS project. The original design, engineering and development of the onshore and offshore facilities and the oil production and injection wells for the Cliff Oil Field contemplated

the implementation of an enhanced oil secondary and tertiary recovery project. There are a number of alternatives to implementing these forms of secondary and tertiary oil recovery including water flooding, chemical flooding and CO2 flooding.

The study is expected to commence within the September 2021 quarter and the intended project schedule is as follows:

Module 2 - Hydrogen Commercialization Pathways
Module 3 - Carbon Management
Module 4 - Cliff Head EOR Modelling
Module 5 - Project Infrastructure
Module 6 - Project Integration and reporting

(ii) South West Blue Hydrogen and CCS Project feasibility study

Pilot is progressing its South West (WA) Blue Hydrogen Project, a key component of which will be carbon capture and storage. The South West Carbon Capture & Storage Hub (SWCCSH) project is considered by Pilot to be a prime candidate for commercial carbon capture & storage, with capacity for injection likely to exceed 800,000 tonnes p.a. of CO2 for 30 years or more. Prior funding has brought the project to a point where a pilot injection program can be implemented to mature the project to a point that an industrial scale storage formation may be declared. Pilot's existing EP 416 and EP 480 tenements overlie the CCS project identified by previous studies and may provide the operating/legislative regime to conduct near term activities on the project.

(iii) Blue hydrogen/CO2 capture and energy generation technology study

In addition to the Cliff Head and South West hub projects, Pilot is reviewing a proposal to conduct a technology assessment on two technologies that leverage the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle oxy combustion process to produce zero emissions power and blue hydrogen from natural gas.

C. Renewables

(i) Mid West Wind and Solar Project feasibility study

The objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of developing and commercialising the Mid-West region's world class renewable energy resources and the associated production and sale of green hydrogen.

The study is expected to commence within the September 2021 quarter and the intended project schedule is as follows:

Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month4 Month 5 Month 6

Module 4 - Project Infrastructure
Module 5 - Project Integration and Reporting

(ii) Offshore Wind baseline study

A Fixed LiDAR (Light detection and ranging technology) survey is proposed to provide initial data on the wind resource adjacent to the Cliff Head platform and adds significant value to the planning process of future met ocean survey campaigns. LiDAR is an alternative option to a met mast survey.

Through and subject to the terms of the infrastructure access agreements entered into as part of the WA-481- P sale, Pilot can access the Cliff Head offshore structure to install the fixed LiDAR system

2. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES

2.1 General

On 25 June 2021, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise $8,000,000 (before costs) by the issue of Shares at not less than $0.06 each to sophisticated and professional investors (Placement Participants).

On 1 July 2021 the Company issued a total of 12,500,000 Shares at $0.06 each to Placement Participants using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise $750,000 (before costs) (Tranche 1 Placement Shares).

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution which seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any Listing Rule exceptions, and as it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses up the 15% placement capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval for the 12 months period following the issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the

Company's 15% placement capacity limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% placement limit capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

2.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) a total of 12,500,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 1 July 2021 to raise $750,000 within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval;
  • (b) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.06 per Share;
  • (c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
  • (d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants, none of whom is a related party of the Company. The Placement Participants were introduced by Bridge Street Capital Partners Pty Ltd (Bridge Street) or were prospective investors already known to the Board. Of the Placement Participants who acquired 1% or more of the Shares, no investors are considered as a "material investor" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.4.
  • (e) Bridge Street acted as Lead Manager to the Placement;
  • (f) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used to support and provide sufficient working capital and expenditure for the Company's oil and gas tenement obligations, working capital and expenditure for the Cliff Head Oil Field and for undertaking the Mid West Integrated Renewables and Hydrogen Project feasibility study; and
  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

2.4 Directors' Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2: APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES

3.1 General

The Company does not currently have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the remaining 120,833,333 Shares under the Placement (Tranche 2 Placement Shares).

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 120,833,333 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Placement Participants to raise $7,250,000.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 1.2 above.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares during the period of three months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed and issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO RELATED PARTY - BRUCE GORDON

a. General

Mr Bruce Gordon has subscribed for and the Company has agreed to issue, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, 416,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Bruce Gordon (and/or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Mr Gordon is a non-Executive Director of the Company who joined the Board on 1 June 2021, following the completion of the Royal Energy Limited transaction.

Resolution 3 seeks the necessary Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of these Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Bruce Gordon.

Mr Bruce Gordon has subscribed for, and subject to Shareholder approval, Mr Gordon (and/or his nominee) will be issued 416,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares at $0.06 each.

b. Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) 10.11.1 a related party;
  • (b) 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
  • (c) 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
  • (d) 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

(e) 10.11.5 - a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Gordon (and/or his nominee) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.1.

c. Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares subscribed for by Mr Bruce Gordon will be issued to Mr Bruce Gordon (and/or his nominee) who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Gordon is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;
  • (b) the number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is a total of 416,667, at an issue price of $0.06 per Share;
  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Gordon as fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
  • (d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Gordon (and/or his nominee) 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 Listing Rules);
  • (e) the Company intends to use the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as set out in section 2.3(e) above;
  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for this resolution.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue to Mr Gordon (and/or his nominee) the 416,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares for which he has subscribed. In addition the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue to Mr Gordon (and/or his nominee) the 416,667Tranche 2 Placement Shares for which Mr Gordon has subscribed.
