EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.antillesoilandgas.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2

Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3

Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .

5. RESOLUTION 5- RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE

5.1 General

On 1 April 2016, the Company issued 5,353,907 Shares at an issue price of $0.0215 per Share for cash as a result of the need for immediate working capital. Any other method would have taken much longer and incurred significant costs.

The Shares were issued under the Company’s 10% additional capacity as per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible Company may seek the approval of the Company’s holders of its ordinary securities by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have an additional capacity of 10%. This approval was sought and obtained by the Company at the 2015 annual general meeting on 27 May 2015.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares (Ratification).

By ratifying this issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% annual additional capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 5,353,907 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.0215 each;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares;

8

Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762

  • (d) the Shares were issued to a sophisticated investor; and

(e) the Shares were issued as part of a capital raising for the Company to assist with working capital requirements.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Facility ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement Facility granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $1,539,248 based on the amount of Shares on issue and closing price of Shares on 20 April 2016.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: AVD and quoted Options (ASX code: AVDOB).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
(A) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an
exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the
previous 12 months;
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with
approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does
not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15%
placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
(D) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D is 10%.

9

Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762

E

is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Facility Period ).

  • (c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

10

Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 66,923,833 Shares on issue;

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 April 2016.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility , based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

  • (d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration), the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), general working capital; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).

The recipients of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of existing Shareholders or new investors (or both) none of whom are related Party of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of issue under the 10% Placement Facility, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods of raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

11

Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762

(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; and

(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the trading day prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: AVD (terms are set out in the Constitution).

  3. The Class A and B Performance Rights are subject to the following vesting conditions:

Number
of
Performance
Rights
Vesting Condition
Class A
10,300,000
Acquisition of a project in the South American/Caribbean region with significant
exploration and/or exploitation potential.
Class B
3,300,000
Completion of further capital raising by the Company in excess of $10,000,000 or the
Company achieving a market capitalisation of greater than $30,000,000 for five
consecutive days.
  1. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the AVD Shares ($0.023) and AVDOB Options ($0.005) on the ASX on 20 April 2016.

  2. Partly Paid Ordinary Shares current value was calculated using the ASX:AVD Share price of $0.023 as at 20 April 2016 multiplied by the proportion that Partly Paid Ordinary Shares have been paid up. All Partly Paid Ordinary Shares are currently paid to $0.01 with $0.19 remaining on each share, ie, 5% of the value of a Fully Paid Ordinary Share.

  3. Performance Rights were valued using a manual calculation utilising management assessment of the probability of the vesting conditions being achieved using the ASX:AVD Share price of $0.023 as at 20 April 2016.

  4. The unlisted Options were valued using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM

APPOINTING A PROXY

A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. The appointed proxy may be an individual or body corporate.

If a Body Corporate is appointed to act as your proxy then a representative of that Body Corporate must be appointed to act as its representative. When attending the meeting, the representative must bring a formal notice of appointment as per section 250D of the Corporations Act. Such notice must be signed as required by section 127 of the Corporations Act or the Body Corporate’s Constitution.

If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll.

The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.

VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING

A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.

Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws.

Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Individual : Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • Joint holding : Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • Power of attorney : If you have not already lodged the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • Companies : To be signed in accordance with your Constitution. Please sign in the appropriate box which indicates the office held by you.

ATTENDING THE MEETING

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

LODGEMENT OF VOTES

To be effective, a validly appointed proxy must be received by the Company not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy appointments can be lodged by:

a) Post - to Antilles Oil and Gas NL, PO Box 7775, Cloisters Square, Perth 6850; or

b) Email - to the Company at [email protected]

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid
