Details of the Placement

On 27 July 2016, Incremental Oil and Gas Limited announced a placement of shares to investors as part of a suite of transactions to raise $1,520,000 to further advance the Company’s projects ( Placement ). The Company has appointed Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Bell Potter ) to assist the Company in identifying investors to participate in the Placement. The investors that have (or will) participate in the Placement are sophisticated investors and other investors who do not require disclosure under section 708 of the Corporations Act.

As described in the announcement, the Placement is being conducted in two stages:

  • (a) Tranche 1: This tranche involved the issue of 23,875,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) per Share to sophisticated investors and other investors who do not require disclosure under section 708(1) of the Corporations Act on Wednesday 3 August 2016 to raise $955,000 before costs ( Tranche 1 );

  • (b) Tranche 2: Commitments for this tranche have been received and the issue of Shares under Tranche 2 is subject to Shareholder approval. Tranche 2 will involve the issue of 14,125,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) per Share to sophisticated investors to raise a further $565,000 before costs ( Tranche 2 ).

The Shares forming part of Tranche 1 were subscribed for by sophisticated investors identified by Bell Potter and approved by the Company and 1 other investor who were made personal offers of Shares under section 708(1) of the Corporations Act and which do not require disclosure.

The Shares to be issued under Tranche 2 will be issued to sophisticated investors identified by Bell Potter and approved by the Company, subject to Shareholder approval.

As part of the Placement, each of Mr Mark Stowell, Mr Gerrard McGann, Mr Matthew McCann and Mr John Whisler, being Directors of the Company, or their nominees, will also subscribe for Shares at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) per Share, subject to Shareholder approval.

Page 4

The number of Shares to be subscribed for by each Director is set out below:

Director Shares
Mr Mark Stowell (or his nominee) 2,500,000
Mr Gerrard McGann (or his nominee) 375,000

The Company intends to use the net funds raised from the Placement to progress the Company’s development program at its Silvertip oil and gas field by undertaking a 22 well recompletion program and an 11 well workover program.

Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of Equity Securities a company may issue (or agree to issue) in any 12 month period without shareholder approval to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (subject to specified exceptions).

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a Company of securities made without the approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve it.

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must obtain the approval of its shareholders before it can issue Equity Securities to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that shareholder approval should be obtained.

Resolution 1

The Shares issued under Tranche 1, the subject of Resolution 1, were issued by the Company within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 1. If Resolution 1 is approved, the issue of Tranche 1 Shares will be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4, which will refresh the ability of the Company to issue further Shares up to the 15% limit over the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

Resolution 2

The Shares to be issued under Tranche 2, the subject of Resolution 2, will require the approval of Shareholders as it is not within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 2 is approved, the issue of Tranche 2 Shares will give the Company the ability to issue further Shares up to the 15% limit over the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

Resolutions 3 - 6

The Shares to be issued to each of the Directors the subject of Resolutions 3 – 6 requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 as each of the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The Listing Rules provide that if approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The independent Board (in relation to each of Resolutions 3 – 6) have reached this view as the terms upon which Messrs Stowell, McGann, McCann and Whisler will acquire the Shares are the same as those terms upon which the other investors will acquire Shares under the Placement.

Recommendations:

In relation to Resolution 3 the independent Board (being those Directors other than Mr Stowell) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

In relation to Resolution 4 the independent Board (being those Directors other than Mr McGann) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

In relation to Resolution 5 the independent Board (being those Directors other than Mr McCann) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
