Shareholders at the General Meeting will be asked to consider:
-
(a) a resolution to ratify the prior issue of the Advisor Securities to various parties;
-
(b) a resolution to issue the Acquisition Securities to Carina Energy LLC (or its nominees); and
-
(c) a resolution to issue 294,117 Shares to Mr Matthew Battrick, a director of the Company.
All three Resolutions relate to the Company's acquisition of the Delta Oil Project as announced on ASX on 26 August 2011.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the Resolutions.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement before determining whether to support the resolutions or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
1. ACQUISITION OF DELTA OIL PROJECT
As announced by the Company on ASX on 26 August 2011, the Company has entered into an agreement with a Houston based private oil and gas company, Carina Energy LLC ( Carina Energy ), to acquire up to 10,000 net acres of oil and gas leases within the oil zone of the Eagle Ford Shale trend in Texas, USA ( Delta Oil Project ). The Company will acquire a 100% working interest in all of the leases, each with a minimum 75% net revenue interest, a three year lease term and, in most instances, a 2 year option to extend the lease term. The Company will work with Carina Energy to acquire up to 10,000 acres of oil and gas leases, however, less than 10,000 acres may ultimately be acquired. The numbers throughout this Notice of Meeting are based on the acquisition of the full 10,000 acres.
The Company will acquire the oil and gas leases in up to four tranches. The acquisition of the first three tranches of leases (of approximately 4,442 net acres) has already occurred and, subject to a number of conditions precedent including due diligence, and receipt of all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals, the acquisition of the remaining tranche is expected to be completed by 15 December 2011.
Carina Energy (or its nominees) will receive a mixture of cash and securities as consideration for the sale of Delta Oil Project, including:
-
(a) up to 58,823,529 Shares;
-
(b) up to 50,000,000 Vendor Options, each of which may be converted into one Share in the Company at any time prior to 31 March 2014 at an exercise price of 2.5 cents per Share (and otherwise on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 2); and
ABN 69 009 196 810 (Incorporated in Western Australia)
==> picture [103 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
- (c) up to 320,000,000 Performance Options, each of which may be converted into one Share in the Company in the event certain performance milestones are achieved by certain dates as detailed in Schedule 3 (and otherwise on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 3),
(together, the Acquisition Securities ).
The number of Acquisition Securities to be issued to Carina Energy (or its nominees) will be reduced proportionately if the Company ultimately acquires less than the full 10,000 acres in the Delta Oil Project.
The Company has already issued 7,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Advisor Options (together, the Advisor Securities ) to two stockbroking firms as consideration for services rendered to the Company in relation to the acquisition of the Delta Oil Project.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO ADVISORS
2.1 Introduction
On 27 October 2011, the Company issued the Advisor Securities to two stockbroking firms (or their nominees) as consideration for services rendered in relation to the acquisition of the Delta Oil Project. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Advisor Securities.
Each of the Directors intends to vote in favour of Resolution 1 and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
2.2
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This rule provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, those securities shall be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby ‘refreshing’ the Company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit, and restoring the Company’s ability to make placements within that limit (if that is thought desirable) without the need for shareholder approval.
While the Advisor Securities described in this Resolution 1 were issued within the 15% limit, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of those securities for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 so that the Company’s ability to issue securities will be ‘refreshed’. By ratifying the issue of the Advisor Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future of up to the 15% threshold set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

==> picture [103 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
2.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting seeking an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to allow Shareholders to assess the ratification of the issue and allotment of the Advisor Securities the subject of Resolution 1:
-
(a) the total Advisor Securities issued and allotted by the Company was 7,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Advisor Options;
-
(b) the Advisor Securities were issued for nil consideration in lieu of cash fees;
-
(c) the Shares were ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(d) the Advisor Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(e) the Advisor Securities were allotted to the following parties:
| Allottee | Shares | Advisor Options |
|---|---|---|
| JP Morgan Nominees Australia Limited1 | 1,400,000 | 6,300,000 |
| Cunningham Peterson Sharbanee Securities Pty Ltd |
600,000 | 2,700,000 |
| Zenix Nominees Pty Ltd2 | 5,000,000 | 21,000,000 |
| Total | 7,000,000 | 30,000,000 |
-
Nominee of Cunningham Peterson Sharbanee Securities Pty Ltd.
-
Nominee of Hartleys Limited.
-
(a) no funds were raised from the issue of the Advisor Securities as they were issued as consideration for services rendered to the Company in relation to the acquisition of the Delta Oil Project. However, if all of the Advisor Options are exercised, total funds of $750,000 will be received by the Company; and
-
(b) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF ACQUISITION SECURITIES TO CARINA ENERGY LLC
3.1 Introduction
As noted in Section 1, Carina Energy (or its nominees) will be issued with the Acquisition Securities as partial consideration for the sale of Delta Oil Project to the Company.
The Acquisition Securities will be issued progressively as the various tranches of leases are acquired by the Company and the number of Acquisition Securities to be issued to Carina Energy (or its nominees) will be reduced proportionately if the Company ultimately acquires less than the full 10,000 acres in the Delta Oil Project.
ABN 69 009 196 810 (Incorporated in Western Australia)
==> picture [103 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
A list of Carina Energy's nominees, including their entitlement to receive the Acquisition Securities, is set out in section 3.4. Neither Carina Energy nor any of its nominees will be related parties of the Company and none will hold (either alone or in aggregate) 20% or more of the Shares in the Company upon the issue of the Acquisition Securities.
Each of the Directors intends to vote in favour of Resolution 2 and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 2 is required to be approved in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities which a listed company may issue in any 12 month period without shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions, for example, a pro rata issue to all shareholders). The limit is, generally speaking, no more than 15% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period, plus the number of equity securities issued with the approval of shareholders or under one of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 during the previous 12 months.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Acquisition Securities on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Statement.
3.3

(c) the Acquisition Securities will be issued for nil cash consideration;

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 - ISSUE OF SHARES TO MR MATTHEW ARTHUR BATTRICK
4.1 Introduction
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 294,117 Shares at an issue price of $0.017 each to Mr Matthew Arthur Battrick, a Director of the Company, to raise $5,000.00.
The Company has agreed to issue these Shares to Mr Battrick in lieu of a similar number of Shares which Mr Battrick was allocated under the Company's recent Shortfall Offer and which Mr Battrick relinquished to allow another Shareholder of the Company to take up this allocation.
Mr Battrick has an interest in Resolution 3 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. Each of the other Directors intends to vote in favour of Resolution 3 and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
ABN 69 009 196 810 (Incorporated in Western Australia)
==> picture [103 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 and under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act to enable the Company to issue the Shares to Mr Battrick.
Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities to a related party without shareholder approval. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies or shareholder approval is obtained.
A "financial benefit" is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities. Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of members in the way set out in sections 217 to 227; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.
For the purpose of this Meeting and in accordance with section 228 of the Corporations Act a related party of the Company includes:
-
(a) a Director; and
-
(b) an entity controlled by a Director.
Accordingly, Resolution 3 also seeks Shareholder approval for the issue the Shares to Mr Battrick (or his nominees) for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
4.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act set out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting seeking approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Shares are to be issued to Mr Battrick (or his nominee);
-
(b) the total number of Shares to be issued and allotted to Mr Battrick is 294,117;
-
(c) the Company will issue and allot the Shares no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period as ASX may, in its discretion, allow);
-
(d)
-
the Shares will have an issue price of 1.7 cents ($0.017) per Share;
-
(e) the Shares will be ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
ABN 69 009 196 810 (Incorporated in Western Australia)
==> picture [103 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
-
(f) the $5,000 to be raised through the issue of the Shares will be used to used to partly fund the acquisition of the Delta Oil Project and for working capital purposes;
-
(g) a voting exclusion is included in the Notice;
-
(h) Mr Battrick has an interest in Resolution 3 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The other Directors of the Company recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3;
-
(i) Mr Battrick currently has an interest in 2,000,000 Options;
-
(j) Mr Battrick received $381,618 in remuneration from the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011 and it is expected that he will receive a similar amount from the Company in the current financial year;
-
(k) in the twelve months before the date of this Notice, the highest, lowest and last trading price of the Shares on ASX were as follows:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.110 | 24 January 2011 and 2 February 2011 |
| Lowest | $0.017 | 8 and 11 August 2011 |
| Last | $0.025 | 9 November 2011 |
-
(l) the Shares are being issued to Mr Battrick in lieu of a similar number of Shares which Mr Battrick was allocated under the Shortfall Offer and which Mr Battrick relinquished to allow another Shareholder of the Company to take up this allocation;
-
(m) the Shares are being issued to Mr Battrick at the same price as those issued to other investors under the Shortfall Offer. As such, the Directors of the Company do not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits forgone by the Company in issuing the Shares to Mr Battrick; and
-
(n) other than the information above and otherwise contained in this Explanatory Statement, the Company believes that there is no other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to pass Resolution 3.
