CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of the board of directors of Triangle Energy (Global) Ltd ( Triangle , or the Company ) ( ASX:TEG ) I present you with this Replacement Prospectus which outlines a prorata non-renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ), on the same terms as previously announced, for approximately 58.16 million new shares on the basis of 4 shares for every 15 shares on issue to raise approximately AU$3.78 million (before costs).
This Entitlement Offer follows our recent successful Placement, raising approximately AU$1.25 million (before costs) from both professional and sophisticated investors via the issue of approximately 19.3 million new ordinary shares.
The Entitlement Offer to shareholders is being offered on the same terms as the Placement.
The Entitlement Offer is underwritten to AU$2.78 million by Argonaut Capital Limited.
Funds raised will be used to finance the recently announced acquisition of Whitebark Energy Limited’s ( Whitebark ) 15% interest in the Xanadu TP/15 Joint Venture and for working capital.
Your Board of Directors believes there are many opportunities in the highly prospective and underexplored Perth Basin region and our strategy of growth in the region is taking shape.
In addition to Triangle’s plan to acquire Whitebark’s 15% interest in the Xanadu TP/15 Joint Venture the Company also recently signed a Farmout Agreement with Key Petroleum over the Mt Horner asset. Both projects are based in the Perth Basin and both complement our producing Cliff Head Oil Field ( Cliff Head ). Our exploration and development plans to extract more oil from within our existing Cliff Head field, as well as near-field prospects, have been identified through Static modelling and Dynamic modelling is nearing completion. This modelling will provide a complete picture of the future of Cliff Head with the objective of extending field life to 2030 and beyond.
The Xanadu TP/15 oil discovery was the first oil discovery in the Perth Basin since Cliff Head over 15 years ago. Based on the current appraisal of the well we have confidence there are significant quantities of oil within the field. It also became apparent that the oil is of a similar structure to Cliff Head and it would therefore potentially be seamlessly processed through the Cliff Head Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant. Processing any crude through Arrowsmith would fast-track produced crude from Xanadu to market. A 3D Seismic Survey is pending, and we look forward to updating shareholders on further outcomes from this exciting joint venture.
Triangle is in an ideal position to take advantage of opportunities in the Perth Basin as they arise, and funds raised through this Prospectus will ensure that the Company’s growth strategy continues. We will assess joint venture and acquisition options and make sound decisions with the aim of benefiting all shareholders.
The number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for under the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Application Form that is attached to this Replacement Prospectus. If you take up your full Entitlement, you can also apply for additional New Shares under the Shortfall Offer (see Section 1.5).
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable.
Please read in full the details on how to submit your application, which are set out in this Prospectus. Enquiries relating to this Prospectus should be directed to the Company Secretary
Page 3
by telephone on +61 8 9219 7111. For general shareholder enquiries, please contact the Share Registry on 1300 288 664 (or +61 2 9698 5414 if outside Australia). You should also consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
This Replacement Prospectus contains detailed information about the Entitlement Offer, as well as the risks pertaining to an investment in the Company. Investing in exploration and mining projects carries inherent risks through events and circumstances which cannot all be foreseen or mitigated.
Once again, on behalf of your Board of Directors, I thank you for your ongoing support and invite you to participate in this Entitlement Offer and the exciting investment opportunity which is Triangle Energy (Global) Limited.
Yours sincerely,

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
This Section is intended to highlight key information for Shareholders and potential investors. It is an overview only, and is not intended to replace the Prospectus. Shareholders and potential investors should read the Prospectus in full before deciding to invest in New Shares.
| Further Information |
|
|---|---|
| Transaction specific prospectus This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult. |
Section 5.4 |
| Purpose of the Offer The purpose of the Offer is to raise approximately $3.78 million (before costs). The funds raised from the Offer are intended to be used primarily for: • acquisition of Whitebark Energy Limited's 15% interest in the Xanadu Joint Venture ($2 million) pursuant to the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement; • development expenditure on the Company's existing Cliff Head operations; and • costs of the Offer, reduction of creditors and general working capital. |
Section 1.2 |
| Key risk factors Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in Section 4 including (but not limited to) risks in respect of: • Operational risks:The business of hydrocarbon exploration, project development and production contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic hydrocarbon project. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed. 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 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. • Future capital needs:As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has a working capital deficiency. The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as set out in this Prospectus 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. |
Section 4 |
Page 5
Further Information
==> picture [381 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
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.
• Price of oil and gas currency volatility: Company revenue is derived through the sale of oil and gas which exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. The demand for, and price of oil and gas 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 price are unrest and political instability in countries that have increased concern over supply. Oil is principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar oil and gas prices could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations.
-
TP/15 Acquisition Agreement completion risk: Funds raised pursuant to the Offer are to be put towards meeting the Company’s cash consideration obligations under the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement. The TP/15 Acquisition Agreement is subject to various conditions precedent, outstanding of which include:
-
the parties obtaining approval and registration of the agreement under the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 (WA); and
-
all necessary consents under the joint operating agreement for TP/15 having been obtained.
Whilst the Company is confident the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement will complete, subject to the Company receiving subscriptions for the partially underwritten amount under the Offer, there is a low risk that the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement will not complete and the Company will not acquire the increased interest in Exploration Permit TP/15. In those circumstances the vendor must repay the $2 million in upfront cash consideration and the Company will use funds raised from the Offer for general working capital.
-
Exploration and recovery risk: No assurance can be given that resources or reserves will be detected in commercial quantities. If commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are discovered unforeseen risks can arise in the development and production phase as set out in Section 4.1(f).
-
Ability to exploit successful discoveries: It may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploitation will involve the need to obtain the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities which may require the Company satisfying infrastructure requirements or the Company to meeting financing obligations for which it may not have planned.

-
Further Information
-
• Compliance risk : The leases and permits in which the Company has an interest are subject to ongoing obligations to satisfy minimum drilling and expenditure obligations. If these obligations were not satisfied, the relevant lease may expire or be forfeited, which would result in a loss of the reserves attributable to the Company’s interest in that lease.
-
• Joint venture parties, agents and contractors: The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the risk of insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities which may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations.
-
• General market risks: Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance.
-

1. Details of the Offer
1.1 Placement and Entitlement Offer
On 13 November 2018, the Company announced it was undertaking a private placement of up to 19,282,629 Shares to raise approximately $1.25 million (before costs) ( Placement ) and a non-renounceable pro-rata offer of ordinary fully paid Shares at an issue price of $0.065 each to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of four New Shares for every fifteen Shares held at 5:00pm (WST) on the Record Date to raise approximately $3.78 million ( Offer ).
As announced on 13 November 2018, funds raised pursuant to the Placement and Offer are principally to be put towards meeting the Company’s obligations to pay upfront cash consideration under the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement (announced on 25 October 2018), costs of the Offer and for general working capital. Pursuant to the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement with Kubla Oil (a subsidiary of ASX-listed Whitebark Energy Ltd), the Company is acquiring an additional 15% participating interest in Exploration Permit TP/15 which contains the Xanadu oil discovery. At completion the Company will have a 45% participating interest in Exploration Permit TP/15. A summary of the key terms of the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement is set out in the Company’s addendum to its notice of annual general meeting, lodged with ASX on 5 November 2018, with an update to the payment arrangements provided in the Company’s announcement of 13 November 2018 and 30 November 2018.
Settlement of the Placement occurred following the Record Date and accordingly Placement participants are not be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
On the Record Date the Company had on issue 218,115,544 Shares, 17,155,908 Options and 400,000 Performance Shares. Post Record Date the Company issued 19,282,629 Shares pursuant to the Placement and prior to completion of the Offer intends to issue 11,191,052 Shares pursuant to the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement.
As none of the Options on issue were exercised, the Company has up to approximately 58,164,145 New Shares available for issue under the Offer, subject to rounding.
Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Share, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.
New Shares issued under the Offer will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer are contained in Section 5.1.
1.2 Use of Funds
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Offer and Placement, together with existing funds, in the 12 months following completion of the Offer as detailed below. Note figures below have been rounded.

The Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting arrangements or received firm commitments for the Underwritten Amount, including priority sub-underwriting for the first $1,554,000 of any Shortfall ( Priority Sub-Underwritten Amount ), approximately $1,204,000 of which Tamarind Resources Pte Ltd ( Tamarind ) (a substantial shareholder of the Company) has agreed to sub-underwrite ( Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount ), provided Tamarind’s participation does not cause its and its associates’ holding in the Company to be more than 19.9%.
As announced on 13 November 2018 and 30 November 2018, Tamarind has provided $2 million to the vendor of the 15% participating interest in Exploration Permit TP/15 (a subsidiary of ASX-listed Whitebark Energy Ltd), representing the cash portion of upfront consideration due in accordance with the terms of the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement ( TP/15 Consideration Payment ).
Tamarind and an associate, Mr Michael Arnett, have a combined entitlement under the Offer of approximately $540,000 (8,307,692 New Shares) ( Tamarind Entitlement ).
The Company has agreed that Tamarind’s priority shortfall obligations for the Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount and subscription monies for Tamarind’s Entitlement are to be offset against up to $1.74m of the TP/15 Consideration Payment to be repaid by the Company to Tamarind (with any remaining amount of the TP/15 Consideration Payment to be repaid by the Company in cash from the Entitlement Offer proceeds) ( Offset Arrangement ).
To the extent necessary and in the event the Company is required to issue Shares by way of the Offset Arrangement described above, under this Prospectus the Company offers to Tamarind and its associates up to 26,833,473 Shares (at a deemed issue price
Page 12
of $0.065 per Share) representing the maximum Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount and Tamarind Entitlement (being approximately $1.74m). This offer is only made to Tamarind and its associates and may be accepted by them completing a personalised application form which will be accompanied by this Prospectus.
1.5 Shortfall Offer
A shortfall may arise if applications received for New Shares under the Offer (including after the allocation of Shares under the Underwriting Agreement) are less than the number of New Shares offered.
Any New Shares not applied for by the Closing Date will become Shortfall Shares. Directors reserve the right to issue any Shortfall Shares within 3 months after the Closing Date ( Shortfall Offer ).
The Shortfall Offer is, to the extent it is made in Australia, made under this Prospectus. To the extent the Shortfall Offer is made outside Australia, the Shortfall Offer is made without disclosure, a prospectus, lodgement, filing or registration, or other requirements of any applicable securities law, and only in circumstances where it is lawful to do so (such as to institutional or sophisticated investors). Persons outside Australia who apply for Shortfall Shares represent to the Company that they can apply for Shortfall Shares in circumstances which do not require the offer for Shortfall Shares or this Prospectus to be registered.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares by completing their personalised Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Investors who are not Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the Shortfall Application Form.
It is possible that there may be no Shortfall Shares available for issue.
The Directors reserve the right at their absolute discretion to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to issue a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than that applied for, and it is an express term of the Shortfall Offer that applicants for Shortfall Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Shortfall Shares allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated, excess application money will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable.
All Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be issued on the same terms as the Shares being offered under the Offer (including the issue price).

| Substantial Shareholder | Number of Shares | Voting power % |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Norman Arnett* | 31,146,859 | 13.12 |

1.7 Effect of the Offer on control of the Company
(a) Summary
The Offer and Placement are not expected to give rise to control implications for the Company.
The Company has not appointed a party pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act to act as nominee to sell the New Shares that might have otherwise been issued to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders.
Accordingly, Applicants under the Offer will not be able to rely on the exception allowed by item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act which would otherwise permit an Applicant to increase their voting power:
(i) from 20% or below 20% to above 20%; or
- (ii) from a starting point of above 20% and below 90%,
as a result of accepting their entitlement under the Offer without breaching section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.
As a consequence, the Company will not issue New Shares to any Applicant or other person if the result of any such issue would result in any person (and that person's associates) acquiring a relevant interest contrary to section 606 of the Corporations Act. This may result in the Company scaling back applications from Eligible Shareholders to ensure that no breach of section 606 of the Corporations Act occurs.
Without limiting the above, it is the responsibility of Eligible Shareholders to ensure that their participation under the Offer does not result in them breaching section 606 of the Corporations Act. Eligible Shareholders, by lodging applications for New Shares, acknowledge and accept the right and obligation of the Company to not allot or issue New Shares to them which would result in any breach by them of section 606 of the Corporations Act and direct the Company to so act.
(b)
Majority Shareholder
The Company's largest Shareholder, Mr Michael Arnett, holds a relevant interest (together with Tamarind Resources Pte Limited) in 31,146,859 Shares as at the date of this Prospectus. As at the date of this Prospectus, this relevant interest comprises a voting power of 13.12%.
Page 14
Mr Arnett and Tamarind have advised the Company of their intention to subscribe for their Entitlement under the Offer, which will occur as described via the Offset Arrangement in Section 1.4.
The maximum interest of Mr Arnett and Tamarind at completion of the Offer will be 19.9%.
(c) Underwriter and sub-underwriters
At the date of this Prospectus, Argonaut does not have a relevant interest in any Shares and is not a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.
The Offer is underwritten by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, however sub-underwriting agreements have been entered into for the Underwritten Amount. In the unlikely event that no Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the theoretical maximum number of Shares that may be held by the Underwriter following completion of the Offer is 42,769,231 Shares representing a voting power of 14.67%.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that the following sub-underwriter will hold voting power of 5% or more in the Company as a result of their subunderwriting agreement.
| Sub- underwriter |
Current shareholding |
Current voting power |
Entitlement | Sub- underwritten Shares |
Maximum holding post-Offer |
Maximum voting power post-Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tamarind Resources Pte Limited* |
23,028,495 | 9.70 | 6,140,932 | 18.53m | That number of Shares equal to 19.9% of the Company* |
19.9%* |
*See description of sub-underwriting arrangements at Sections 1.4 and 5.3. The maximum voting power also applies to substantial shareholders Messrs Arnett and Angell by virtue of their greater than 20% holdings in Tamarind.
None of the sub-underwriters will acquire an interest greater than 20% if they are required to subscribe for their full sub-underwriting commitment and their Entitlement (where applicable).
(d) Potential dilution
Eligible Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted. Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below, assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed.

| Shareholder 5 | 1,000,000 | 0.46 | 266,667 | 1,000,000 | 0.34 |
Note:
- The Placement will complete prior to completion of the Offer, resulting in Shareholders being further diluted if they do not participate in the Offer.
1.8
Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Offer. The Offer is partially underwritten to $2.78 million on the terms detailed in Section 5.2.
As detailed in Section 1.5, if there are remaining Shortfall Shares due to a default under or termination of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company reserves the right to proceed to allocate the New Shares under the Offer and to issue the remaining Shortfall Shares within three months after the Closing Date at its absolute discretion.
1.9
No rights trading
The rights to New Shares under the Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your Entitlement to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.
1.10
Issue Date and dispatch
All New Shares are expected to be issued on or before the Issue Date specified in the Timetable at page 2 of this Prospectus.
Security holder statements will be dispatched at the end of the calendar month following the issue of the New Shares.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.
1.11 Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies received for the New Shares will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the New Shares are issued under the Offer. All Application Monies received in respect of the Offer will be returned (without interest) if the New Shares under the Offer are not issued for any reason.
The Company has authorised the financial institution holding Application Monies received under the Original Prospectus to return those funds to those Applicants.
Page 16
1.12 ASX quotation
Application has been made for the official quotation of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus. If permission is not granted by ASX for the official quotation of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus within three months after the date of the Original Prospectus (or such period as ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.13 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares.
If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will specify the number of New Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the New Shares.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
1.14 International Offer Restrictions
This Prospectus, and any accompanying Application Form, do not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer of New Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this Prospectus, and any accompanying Application Form, may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia where it would be unlawful to do so.
1.15 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders
The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Offer to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. The Company has formed this view having considered:
-
(a) the number and value of the New Shares that would be offered to those Shareholders; and
-
(b) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.
Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Offer.
Page 17
1.16 Notice to nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
1.17 Withdrawal
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offer, in which case, all Application Monies will be returned without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.
1.18 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares.
The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares.
1.19

4. Risk Factors
An investment in New Shares should be regarded as speculative. Activities in the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company has implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however some are outside its control.
The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which Shareholders and prospective investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and the risks of investing in the Company. Shareholders and prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in the Prospectus.
The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
4.1 Risks specific to the Company
- (a) Operational risks
The business of hydrocarbon exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on, among other things:
-
(i) the discovery or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;
-
(ii) access to adequate capital for project development;
-
(iii) design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
-
(iv) securing and maintaining title to hydrocarbon interests;
-
(v) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of hydrocarbon exploration, development and production; and
-
(vi) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and the establishment of production facilities. There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic hydrocarbon project. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.
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 costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the
Page 25
costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. The Company’s assets are also susceptible to damage from natural disasters.
(b) Future capital needs and additional funding
As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has a working capital deficiency. The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as set out in this Prospectus 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. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this equity raising to effectively implement its business strategy over time and to keep its permits in good standing.
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.
(c)
Price of oil and gas currency volatility
Company revenue is derived through the sale of oil and gas which exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. The demand for, and price of oil and gas 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 price are unrest and political instability in countries that have increased concern over supply. Oil is principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar oil and gas prices could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations.
(d) Underwriting risk
The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter for the partial underwriting of the Offer up to $2.78 million. The Underwriter may terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement if any of the termination events detailed in Section 5.2 occurs.
If the Underwriter terminates its obligations, the Company may not raise the full amount it is seeking to raise under the Offer, and the Company may need to find alternative financing to meet its funding requirements. There is no guarantee alternative funding could be sourced, either at all or on satisfactory terms and conditions. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement could therefore materially adversely affect the Company’s business, cash flow and financial position.
Page 26
(e) Production risks
Actual future production may vary materially from targets and projections of future production for a variety of reasons. In general terms, the less actual production information available for an asset the greater the likelihood that its performance will vary from estimates.
Production risks associated with the marketability and commerciality of oil and gas to be acquired and produced by the Company and the operator of the assets in which it has or may have interests include but are not limited to reservoir characteristics, market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of pipelines and processing equipment, the market price of oil and gas and relevant government regulations. Production decreases or stoppages may also result from fluctuations in permeability and flow rates, the presence of impurities in the extracted product, facility shut-downs, mechanical or technical failures and other unforeseeable events which are beyond the control of the Company or the operator.
(f) Exploration and recovery risk
The business of hydrocarbon exploration and development involves a significant degree of risk, which even with a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to be overcome. High risk and substantial expense can be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward. The Company depends on factors that include successful exploration and the establishment of petroleum resources and reserves. There is no assurance that exploration expenditure will result in discoveries of oil or gas that can be commercially or economically exploited since exploration is inherently a speculative endeavour.
The general risks of hydrocarbon exploration and development include encountering unexpected geological formations or pressure, premature declines or reservoirs, blow-outs, craterings, sour gas releases, fires and spills causing pollution and changes in drilling plans and locations following the results of exploratory wells and interpretation of new seismic data. Exploration and development operations can be hampered by circumstances and cost overruns for unforeseen events, including unexpected variations in geology and equipment malfunction. Losses resulting from any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the financial resources of the Company or could result in a total loss of the assets affected, and accordingly, materially adversely affect the market price of the Shares.
(g) TP/15 Acquisition Agreement risk
Funds raised pursuant to the Offer are to be put towards meeting the Company’s cash consideration obligations under the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement. The TP/15 Acquisition Agreement is subject to various conditions precedent, outstanding of which include:
-
(i) the parties obtaining approval and registration of the agreement under the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 (WA); and
-
(ii) all necessary consents under the joint operating agreement for TP/15 having been obtained.
Whilst the Company is confident the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement will complete, subject to the Company receiving subscriptions for the partially underwritten amount under the Offer, there is a low risk that the TP/15
Page 27
Acquisition Agreement will not complete and the Company will not acquire the increased interest in Exploration Permit TP/15. In those circumstances the vendor must repay the $2 million in upfront cash consideration and the Company will use funds raised from the Offer for general working capital.
(h) Resource and reserve estimates
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information or techniques becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the Company identifies a resource or reserve, actual reserves and resources may differ from those estimated at an earlier time which may result in alterations to development and recovery plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company's operations.
(i) Ability to exploit successful discoveries
It may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploitation will involve the need to obtain the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities, which may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. The infrastructure requirements around a successful discovery may also impact on the exploitation of a discovery. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require the participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as those of the Company. As described above, such work may require the Company to meet or commit to financing obligations for which it may have not planned.
(j)
Compliance risk
The leases and permits in which the Company has an interest are subject to ongoing obligations to satisfy minimum drilling and expenditure obligations. If these obligations were not satisfied, the relevant lease may expire or be forfeited, which would result in a loss of the reserves attributable to the Company’s interest in that lease.
Oil and gas exploration permits are subject to periodic review and renewal. In particular, there is no guarantee that applications for future exploration permits or production permits will be approved. Government authorities’ review, renewal and transfer conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the permits comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial positions and/or performance of the Company.
(k) Joint venture parties, agents and contractors
The Company holds its interests in its assets primarily through joint ventures with other parties. The use of joint ventures is common in the oil and gas exploration and production industry and serves as a means to mitigate the risk and associated costs of exploration, production and operational failures.
However, failure of agreement or alignment with joint venture partners, or the failure of third party joint venture operators, could have a material effect
Page 28
on the Company’s business. The failure of joint venture partners to meet their funding commitments (primarily by way of cash calls) and to share costs and liabilities may result in increased costs to the Company. The Company is unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a joint venture partner to which the Company is or may become a party to in a joint venture.
(l) Country risk
The Company holds assets located in Australia and may acquire assets in other foreign countries in the future. There are risks associated with exploration and mining activities and investments generally in foreign countries that may adversely affect the business, costs, expenditure and profitability of the Company. These risks include:
-
(i) changes in foreign country government, government policies, regulatory regime, economic change, civil instability, attitudes towards foreigners or their businesses in their country;
-
(ii) land access and environmental regulation may be adverse or beneficial; and
-
(iii) the applicable legal regime including investment into, and repatriation of revenue out of, the foreign country.
(m)
Environmental risk
The Company's activities are subject to the environmental risks inherent in the hydrocarbon industry. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in connection with operations it may pursue in the hydrocarbon industry. The Company conducts its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. However, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability. Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
(n) Insurance
Insurance against all risks associated with hydrocarbon exploration and production is not always available or affordable. The Company will maintain insurance where it is considered appropriate for its needs however it will not be insured against all risks, either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the operations of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that it considers is reasonable.
4.2 General risks
The future prospects of the Company's business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company's control. Financial performance of the Company
Page 29
may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.
(a) General economic climate
Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company's future revenues and securities price may be affected by these factors, as well as by fluctuations in the price of commodities, which are beyond the Company's control.
(b) Changes in legislation and government regulation
Government legislation in Australia or any other relevant jurisdiction, including changes to the taxation system, may affect future earnings and the relative attractiveness of investing in the Company. Changes in government policy or statutory changes may also affect the Company and the value of its securities.
(c) Competition for projects
The Company competes with other companies, including hydrocarbon exploration and production companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company. As a result, such companies may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities and there can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete with these companies. The Company's inability to secure a new project or business opportunity may have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company, its possible future profitability and the trading price of its securities, including the New Shares offered under this Prospectus.
(d) Reliance on key personnel
The Company's success depends largely on the core competencies of its directors and management and the Company's ability to find and retain key personnel.
(e) Share market conditions
The market price of the Company's securities may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resources stocks in particular.
(f) Speculative nature of investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the securities. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
Page 30
(g) Security risk
The business of the Company may be materially impacted by breaches of security, on-site or via technology, either by unauthorised access, theft, destruction, loss of information or release of confidential data. The Company's security measures may not be sufficient to detect or prevent such breaches of security.

5.3 Sub-underwriting agreements
The Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting arrangements and received firm commitments for the Underwritten Amount, including priority sub-underwriting for the first $1,554,000 of any Shortfall ( Priority Sub-Underwritten Amount ), approximately $1,204,000 of which Tamarind Resources Pte Ltd ( Tamarind ) (a substantial shareholder of the Company) has agreed to sub-underwrite ( Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount ), provided Tamarind’s participation does not cause its and its associates’ holding in the Company to be more than 19.9%.
As announced on 13 November 2018 and 30 November 2018, Tamarind has provided $2 million to the vendor of the 15% participating interest in Exploration Permit TP/15, representing the cash portion of upfront consideration due in accordance with the terms of the TP/15 Acquisition Agreement ( TP/15 Consideration Payment ).
Tamarind and an associate, Mr Michael Arnett, have a combined entitlement under the Offer for approximately $540,000 (8,307,692 New Shares) ( Tamarind Entitlement ).
The Company has agreed that Tamarind’s priority shortfall obligations for the Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount and subscriptions monies for Tamarind’s Entitlement are to be offset against up to $1.74m of the TP/15 Consideration Payment to be repaid by the Company to Tamarind (with any remaining amount of the TP/15 Consideration Payment to be repaid by the Company in cash from the Offer proceeds) ( Offset Arrangement ).
To the extent necessary and in the event the Company is required to issue Shares by way of the Offset Arrangement described above, under this Prospectus the Company offers to Tamarind and its associates up to 26,833,473 Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.065 per Share) representing the maximum Tamarind Sub-Underwritten Amount and Tamarind Entitlement (being approximately $1.74m). This offer is only made to Tamarind and its associates and may be accepted by them completing a personalised application form which will be accompanied by this Prospectus.
