2. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFER
2.1
The Offer
Under this Prospectus, Pilot Energy Limited ( Company ) invites certain persons by invitation only to apply for up to 16,666 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.06 per New Share ( Offer ) to raise up to $1,000 (before the costs of the Offer).
The Offer will only be extended to selected parties on invitation from the Directors. The Company will only provide Application Forms to these parties.
The New Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue. A summary of the material rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares is set out in Section 4 .
2.2
Purpose of the Offer (and the issue of this Prospectus)
The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $1,000 under this Prospectus and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.
The Company has issued or will issue certain Transaction Shares pursuant to the Transactions described below. The Company wishes to ensure that any Transaction Shares issued in connection with the Transactions or otherwise issued prior to the Closing Date are not subject to the secondary sale restrictions in the Corporations Act.
The Company is not able to issue a cleansing notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act due to its securities being suspended from trading on the ASX for more than 5 trading days within the last 12 months. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may attach to Shares issued by the Company before the Closing Date.
2.3
Transactions
The Company has recently announced and, in respect of the Royal Acquisition, completed, a series of important transactions and initiatives as follows:
(a) Acquisition of Royal Energy
On 25 September 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a Share Sale Deed with Royal Energy Pty Ltd ( Royal ) and the shareholders of Royal pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 136,363,636 shares in the Company ( Consideration Shares ) to the Royal Vendors and 7,575,758 shares in the Company ( Advisor Shares ) to Royal’s advisers to the transaction RFC Ambrian Limited ( RFC Ambrian ). Immediately on issue of the Consideration Shares these shares collectively represented no more than 38.3% of all the Company shares on issue ( Royal Acquisition ).
The Royal Acquisition was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting on 28 May 2021 and completed on 31 May 2021, pursuant to which the Consideration Shares were issued to Royal shareholders and Advisor Shares to RFC Ambrian.
(b) Contractor Mandate
The Company engaged Castle Rock Energy Pty Ltd (or its nominees) ( Castle Rock Energy ) to provide ongoing corporate development services in relation to the development of its corporate initiatives, including the Royal Acquisition and the Key Acquisition, under the terms and conditions specified in an engagement letter dated 31 July 2019 as amended ( Contractor Mandate ).
9
ME_187383428_1
Following receipt of shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes at the December General Meeting, the Company has issued 4,123,485 Shares to Castle Rock Energy.
(c) Placement
On 28 June 2021, the Company announced that it received firm commitments for $8 million in a placement to new and existing sophisticated, institutional and professional investors ( Placement ). Under the Placement, the Company has agreed to issue 133,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Placement Shares ) at $0.06 per Placement Share to sophisticated and professional investor clients of Bridge Street Capital Partners Pty Ltd ( Bridge Street Capital ) to raise approximately $8 million before costs ( Placement ).
The Placement will be executed in two tranches. Tranche 1 of the Placement, whereby 12,500,000 Placement Shares were issued, occurred on 28 June 2021. The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares was approved by shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the Company's General Meeting ( GM ) on 4 August 2021.
The Company proposes to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares on or around 10 August 2021.
(d) Black Swan Shares
As previously advised, on 9 April 2021, the Company was advised by the Commonwealth-Western Australia Offshore Petroleum Joint Authority of its decision to cancel Petroleum Exploration Permit WA-503-P.
As a result of the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator not providing regulatory approval in relation to Black Swan's acquisition of WA-503-P from the Company in 2018, and the subsequent cancellation of WA-503-P, the Company and Black Swan agreed to a settlement consideration of $100,000 worth of Shares, with the Shares to be issued based on the 5-day VWAP once the Company is reinstated to the official list of ASX and trading in Shares recommences ( Black Swan Shares ).
Completion under each of the Transactions and, relevantly, the issue of the Consideration Shares, Advisor Shares, Contractor Shares, Placement Shares and the Black Swan Shares (together, the Transaction Shares ) has occurred or will occur prior to the Closing Date of the Offer.
2.4 Issued Shares
If securities are issued to an investor without a disclosure document then the on-sale of those securities is generally restricted pursuant to the Corporations Act, unless an exemption applies (such as those under section 708A of the Corporations Act). If the Company does not fall within one of those exemptions, any securities issued to an exempt investor in accordance with section 708 of the Corporations Act may be restricted from on-sale for the first 12 months from the date of issue unless the investor (to whom the securities may be on-sold) also falls within one of the exemptions.
As the Company's Shares have been suspended from trading on ASX for more than 5 days during the 12 months preceding the Lodgement Date, the Company is precluded from relying on lodging a cleansing notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act to remove any such trading restrictions which would otherwise apply in respect of the Transaction Shares or any other Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date.
Relevantly, section 708A(11) provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
• the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on the ASX (section 708A(11)(a));
10
ME_187383428_1
-
a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:
-
on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made (section 708A(11)(b)(i)); or
-
before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued (section 708A(b)(ii)); and
-
the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
In light of the above, this Prospectus has been lodged after the issue of the Consideration Shares, Advisor Shares, Contractor Shares and the Tranche 1 Placement Shares but prior to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the Black Swan Shares. Accordingly, upon issue, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the Black Swan Shares will be exempt from the on-sale provisions (see the second bullet point above).
2.5 Financial effect of the Offer
After expenses of the Offer of approximately $45,000, there will be no proceeds from the Offer. The expenses of the Offer (exceeding $1,000) will be met from the Company's cash reserves and funds raised under the Placement.
As such, the Offer will have an effect on the Company's financial position, being receipt of funds of $1,000 less costs of preparing the Prospectus of approximately a loss of $44,000.
2.6

The effect of the Offer on the Company’s capital structure is set out in the table below.

2.7 Effect of the Offer on control

12
ME_187383428_1
3. RISK FACTORS
As with any share investment, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The numerous risk factors are both of a specific and a general nature. Some 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. This Section 3 identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisor before deciding whether to apply for the Share the subject of this Offer.
3.1
Specific risks
(a) Additional requirements for capital
The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including the extent of the Company's ability to generate income from activities which the Company cannot forecast with any certainty. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or develop projects. Further, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion and it may affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Exploration, operations and activities risk
There is no assurance that any exploration or feasibility assessment on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic energy project. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed. The future profitability of the Company and the value of its Shares are directly related to the results of exploration, development and production activities.
The operations of the Company and the operator of the assets in which it has or may have interests may be affected by various factors, including failure to achieve predicted volumes in exploration and drilling, operational and technical difficulties encountered in drilling, poor data acquisition, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated problems which may affect extraction or resource capture costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
Additionally, the Company's activities carry risk as such activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment, the effects of geographical remoteness and current and new regulatory requirements.
(c) Occupational health and safety
Exploration and production of oil and gas and more broadly the development of energy projects may expose the Company's staff and contractors to potentially dangerous working environments. If any of the Company's employees or contractors suffered injury or death, compensation payments or fines may be payable and such circumstances could result in the loss of a licence or permit required to carry on the business. Such an incident may also have an adverse effect on the Company's business and reputation.
13
ME_187383428_1
(d) Environmental matters
The Company's operations are subject to environmental risks that are inherent in the energy industry. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in connection with any operations that it may pursue. The Company conducts all its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all relevant laws. However, accidents, breaches, non-compliance, unforeseen circumstances or changes to the laws and regulations could result in the Company facing penalties, revocation of permits or extensive liabilities for damages, clean-up costs and / or penalties relating to environmental damage.
Climate change risk is becoming increasingly relevant to the energy industry including new or changing regulation, introduction of carbon taxes, consumer, investor and community action. Climate change may also cause physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidents of extreme weather events. The Company is not able to accurately predict the effect of changes to environmental laws and regulations and the effect they would have on the cost of doing business.
(e) Commodity and currency price risks
The profitability of the Company's operations is directly related to the market price of the commodities. The demand for, and price of oil, gas and energy generally is highly dependent on a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, the level of consumer product demand, actions taken by governments and major petroleum corporations, global economic and political developments and other factors all of which are beyond the control of the Company.
International petroleum prices fluctuate and at times the fluctuations can be quite wide. A material decline in the price of oil and gas may have a material adverse effect on the economic viability of a project. Examples of such uncontrollable factors that can affect oil prices are unrest and political instability in countries that have increased concern over supply. As oil is principally sold throughout the world in US dollars, any significant and / or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations.
(f) Reliance on key management
The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives depends on the engagement of key employees, directors and external contractors that provide management and technical expertise.
If the Company cannot secure external technical expertise, or if the services of the present management or technical team cease to be available to the Company, this may affect the Company's ability to achieve its objectives either fully or within the timeframes and budget that it has forecast. Additionally, industrial disruptions, work stoppages and accidents in the course of operations may adversely affect the Company's performance.
(g) Regulatory risk
The Company's project interests are governed by Commonwealth and Western Australian acts and regulations that apply to the oil, gas and energy industries, and are evidenced by the granting of approvals, licences or leases. If these approvals, licenses or leases are revoked, then the Company may be unable to fulfil its operational objectives which will likely have a material adverse effect.
14
ME_187383428_1
There is also the risk that projects which the Company may undertake from to time do not have a legislative regime which provides operational and legal certainty for the Company in relation to the development of future projects.
The Company's licenses or leases may be subject to ongoing obligations to satisfy minimum activities and expenditure obligations. If these obligations are not satisfied, the relevant license or lease may expire or be forfeited, which would result in a loss of the reserves and resources that may be attributable to the Company's interest in the licenses or leases areas.
(h) Project development
Production risks associated with marketability and commerciality of oil, gas and energy to be produced include but are not limited to, reservoir characteristics, market fluctuations, proximity and capacity of infrastructure and process equipment, government regulations and the market price of oil, gas and energy.
Decreases of production or stoppages may result from fluctuations in permeability and flowrates, impurities in the product, facility shut-downs, natural decline, mechanical and technical failures, subsurface complications or other unforeseeable events outside the control of the Company.
(i)
Government policy changes
The activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, and other matters.
Policy and legislation may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and the value of its Shares. Amongst other things, taxation including carbon taxes, permitting and licenses, environmental laws, and labour laws are all affected by legislation and regulation and may have an adverse impact.
(j)
Joint venture operations
The Company is exposed to the financial risk of its joint venture partners on its projects. Failure of agreement or alignment with joint venture partners could have a material effect on the Company's business. The failure of joint venture partners to meet funding commitments may result in increased costs to the Company. The Company is unable to predict the risk or financial failure of joint venture partners.
3.2 General Risks
(a) Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk
The outbreak of the coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company's Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company's operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
(b) Investment risk
The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative. It carries no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Shares. The prices at which an investor may be able to trade the Shares may be above
15
ME_187383428_1
or below the Offer Price paid for the Shares. While the Directors recommend the Offer, prospective investors must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.
