3.2 Acquisition
The Company announced on 7 December 2021 that it had entered into a binding agreement with Western Gas ( Acquisition Agreement ), the effect of which is that the Company will acquire from Western Gas a 12.5% interest in Western Gas’s subsidiary, WG519 ( Acquisition ).

As the Sasanof Prospect extends over multiple blocks, via arrangements between with Western Gas and its other subsidiaries which hold the adjacent permits, the Company will also have an economic interest in 12.5% of the Sasanof Prospect that sits outside of WA-519-P but within the other Western Gas exploration permit.
Western Gas is the operator of the WA-519-P permit and announced on 25 November 2021 that a rig contract had been signed with Valaris for the MS-1 semi-submersible rig to drill the Sasanof well in March/April 2022. the consideration for the Acquisition will contribute to the drilling costs, which are estimated to be in the range of US$20-25 million (equating to an expected cost to the Company of around US$5-6.25 million). Global Oil and Gas Limited (ASX:GLV) is committed to funding a further 50% of the cost for drilling the Sasanof well for a 25% shareholder interest in WG519. Western Gas are in discussions to fund the remaining 25% of the drilling cost. The Company’s participation is conditional on Western Gas securing funding for the full well drilling cost.
Further details on the material terms of the Acquisition are set out in Section 3.4.
3.3

On 15 December 2021, the Company issued 250,000,000 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) using its existing placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A under the first tranche of the Placement. The balance of the Placement, comprising 950,000,000 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) and the Placement Options, will be issued under the second tranche of the Placement subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5.

The primary use of funds raised under the Placement is meeting its share of the drilling costs of the Sasanof Prospect well (via its subscription of shares in WG519), with the Company’s share of these costs expected to be approximately AU$6.5-8m. The balance of the funds raised from the Placement will be used for contingent Sasanof well costs, advancing the Company’s Bowsprit Project toward development drilling, business development relating to new projects and working capital.

4. Resolution 1 – Approval of Acquisition
4.1 General
As detailed in Section 3.2 above, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue the Acquisition Securities to Western Gas under the Acquisition.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Acquisition Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue of the Acquisition Securities does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching the rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the issue of the Acquisition Securities
under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Acquisition Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Acquisition Securities can proceed without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Acquisition Securities will not proceed (and, accordingly the Acquisition will not proceed) as the issue of such securities under the Acquisition Agreement is conditional on Shareholder approval.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
4.1 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The Acquisition Securities will be issued to Western Gas (or its nominees) who is not a related party of the Company.
-
(b) The maximum number of securities the Company may issue under Resolution 1 is 90,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Listed Options.
-
(c) The Acquisition Shares will be 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 Acquisition Options will be exercisable at $0.02 and expire 1 September 2023, and will otherwise be issued on the same terms as the Company’s existing PRMOB options (full terms and conditions are set out in Schedule 1). Shares issued on exercise of the Acquisition Options will be 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.
-
(e) The Acquisition Securities may be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
-
(f) The Acquisition Securities will be issued as consideration for the Acquisition. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Acquisition Securities.
-
(g) The material terms of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in Section 3.4.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
5.1 General
As detailed in Section 3.5 above, the Company has received commitments for a twotranche placement of 1,200,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of $0.01 to raise a total of $12,000,000 before costs. All Placement Participants will be entitled to free-attaching Listed Options on the basis of one Listed Option for every three Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement.
The Company completed the first tranche of the Placement on 15 December 2021 by issuing the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to raise $2,500,000 before costs. The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued by the Company to the Tranche 1 Participants using its annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual limit approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting, without the need for Shareholder approval.
The use of funds raised from the Placement is detailed in Section 3.5.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.1.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 147,287,112 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 102,712,888 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10%
placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).
Resolutions 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions.
5.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) On 15 December 2021, 250,000,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the first tranche of the Placement as follows:
-
(i) 147,287,112 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Ratification of the issue of these Shares is being sought pursuant to Resolution 2.
-
(ii) 102,712,888 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. Ratification of the issue of these Shares is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3.
-
(b) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to various professional and sophisticated investors who are existing clients of the Joint Lead Managers. None of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants are a related party or substantial holder of the Company, a member of the Company's key management personnel, an adviser to the Company, or any associates of those persons who received more than 1% of the Company's issued capital under the Tranche 1 Placement. Accordingly, none of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants are material investors for the purposes of ASX guidance note 21 paragraph 7.2.
-
(c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are 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 at $0.01 each.
-
(e) The Tranche 1 Placement raised $2,500,000 (before costs). The funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares have or will be used for the purposes set out in Section 3.5.
-
(f) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to an agreement.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares
6.1 General
Further to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, the Company is proposing to conduct a placement of 950,000,000 Shares to raise $9,500,000 before costs as the second tranche of the Placement. The funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement
Shares will be aggregated with the funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and used for the purposes detailed in Section 3.5.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.1.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and will raise up to $9,500,000 before costs. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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 4 is not passed then the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the Company will be unable to meet its funding commitments under the Acquisition Agreement and the Acquisition will not proceed.
Completion of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is also subject to the Company being satisfied that Western Gas have secured commitments for 100% of the funding to support the initial budget for drilling the Sasanof Prospect.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
6.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to various professional and sophisticated investors who are existing clients of the Joint Lead Managers. With the exception of Troy Hayden, Ian McCubbing and Patrick Glovac (or their nominees) who will only participate in the Placement subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, none of the Tranche 2 Placement Participants are a related party or substantial holder of the Company, a member of the Company's key management personnel, an adviser to the Company, or any associates of those persons who received more than 1% of the Company's issued capital under the Tranche 2 Placement. Accordingly (with the exception of Troy Hayden, Ian McCubbing and Patrick Glovac (or their nominees)), none of the Tranche 2 Placement Participants are material investors for the purposes of ASX guidance note 21 paragraph 7.2.
-
(b) The maximum number of securities the Company may issue under Resolution 4 is 950,000,000 Shares. The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be 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.
-
(c) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares may be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

-
(e) The funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be used for the purposes set out in Section 3.5.
-

-

7. Resolution 5 – Approval to grant Placement Options
7.1 General
As detailed in Section 3.5 above, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant the Placement Options to the Placement Participants as free attaching Options on the basis of 1 Listed Option for every 3 Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.1.
The issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
7.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities the Company may grant under Resolution 5 is 400,000,000 Listed Options.

-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
8. Resolution 6 – Approval to grant securities to Inyati
8.1 General
As detailed in Section 3.6 above, the Company is proposing to complete the Placement through Joint Lead Managers acting as both lead managers and brokers to the Placement. The fees payable to the Joint Lead Managers for acting in this role are capital raising fees of 6% of the gross funds raised under the Placement, 30,000,000 Shares and 60,000,000 Listed Options. Inyati is also entitled to receive part of the capital raising fee of 6% of funds raised under the Placement (excluding amounts raised by the Company) owed to the Joint Lead Managers.
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue securities to the Joint Lead Managers as follows:

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.1.
The Company agreed to grant the securities to Inyati subject to Shareholder approval. The grant of the securities therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the securities to Inyati under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of securities to Inyati. In addition the grant of the securities to Inyati 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 6 is not passed then the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of securities to Inyati and the Company will need to negotiate an alternative fee arrangement with Inyati for the services provided.
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
8.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The securities will be granted to Inyati (or its nominees).

-

-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
9. Resolution 7 – Approval to grant securities to GTT
9.1 General
As detailed in Sections 3.6 and 8.1, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant the Facilitator Shares and 20,000,000 of the Broker Options to GTT. The securities are to be issued to GTT for brokering services provided by GTT and for introducing and facilitating the Acquisition. GTT is also entitled to receive part of the capital raising fee of 6% of funds raised under the Placement (excluding amounts raised by the Company) owed to the Joint Lead Managers.
GTT is an entity associated with Patrick Glovac who was previously a Director of the Company. Mr Glovac resigned from the Board on 16 July 2021. Mr Glovac is a director and shareholder of GTT.
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) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to 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 the right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in a 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 the securities to GTT falls within Listing Rule 10.11.4 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of securities to GTT under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will issue the securities to GTT.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not issue the securities to GTT and will need to determine an alternative form of remuneration for the services provided by GTT.
Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.
9.2 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,

The grant of securities to GTT pursuant to Resolution 7 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Patrick Glovac is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company within the past six months.
After a review of publicly available information relating to remuneration for similar facilitator and lead manager services, it is the view of the Directors that the issue of securities to GTT falls under the arm’s length exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act as reasonable remuneration in the circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is only being sought under Listing Rule 10.11.

11. Resolutions 11 to 13 – Approval to grant Options to Directors
11.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant a total of 30,000,000 Listed Options ( Incentive Securities ) to Directors Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden as set out in the table below:
| Recipient | Position | Listed Options |
|---|---|---|
| Ian McCubbing | Non-Executive Chairman | 10,000,000 |
| Alexander Parks | CEO/ManagingDirector | 10,000,000 |
| TroyHayden | Non-Executive Director | 10,000,000 |
The Incentive Securities are to be issued to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden for nil cash consideration as incentive based remuneration in connection with their roles as a Director of the Company. The Board considers that the incentives provided to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden represented by the grant of the Incentive Securities is a cost effective and efficient way for the Company to appropriately incentivise and reward their performance and assist with retaining and motivating the Directors in their current roles, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive such as the payment of cash compensation.
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is provided in Section 9.1.
The grant of Incentive Securities to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 11 to 13 seek the required Shareholder approval to grant the Incentive Securities to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden under and for the purposes of 10.11.
If Resolutions 11 to 13 are passed, the Company will issue the Incentive Securities to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden.
If Resolutions 11 to 13 are not passed, the Company will not issue the Incentive Securities to Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden and will need to determine an alternative form of incentive for Ian McCubbing, Alexander Parks and Troy Hayden.
Resolutions 11 to 13 are each an ordinary resolution.
The Directors interests in the securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:
| Position | Shares | Listed Options | Performance Rights |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ian McCubbing | Non-Executive Chairman |
25,062,514 | 3,291,667 | 5,000,0001 |
