4. Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The directors' report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act has been amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act (Director and Executive Remuneration Act) which received the Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, among others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 - Election of Director - Mr John van der Welle

As announced on 10 February 2014, the Directors appointed Mr van der Welle as a Director (and Chairman) of the Company in accordance with Article 6.2(b) of the Constitution. Mr van der Welle commenced his appointment with the Company immediately.

Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution requires that Mr van der Welle retire at the annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election. Pursuant to the Constitution, Mr van der Welle will retire and seek election.

John van der Welle, (aged 59) is a chartered accountant with 30 years' experience in the oil and gas industry and is currently a non-executive director of AIM listed exploration companies Hurricane Energy plc and Lekoil Limited. John has previously been a senior executive with, or director of, a number of UK listed upstream oil and gas companies - Enterprise Oil, Hardy Oil and Gas, Premier Oil, First Calgary Petroleums and Stratic Energy Corp. John was also a non-executive director of Madagascar Oil from its IPO on AIM in 2010 until December 2012.

The Board unanimously supports Mr van der Welle's election.

6. Resolution 3 - Election of Director - Mr Peter Taylor

Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one third of all Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number).

Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution states that a Director who retires is eligible for election.

Pursuant to the Constitution, Mr Taylor will retire by rotation and seek election.

Mr Taylor, along with Mr Peter Blakey, are joint chairmen of TM Services Ltd, an international oil and gas consulting company.

This company was subsequently purchased by KNOC in October 2010 for £1.87b.They were also founding members and directors of Consort Resources Ltd, which has become a significant North Sea gas production company, and of Planet Oil which was merged with Hardman Resources in 1998.

Mr Taylor was appointed a Director of the Company on 4 October 2001.

The Board unanimously supports Mr Taylor's re-election.

10. Resolution 7 - Authority to Grant Incentive Options to a Director - Mr John van der Welle

10.1 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the grant of 1,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr John van der Welle (or his nominee) as the incentive component of his remuneration as a non-executive Director.

As announced on 10 February 2014, the Company appointed Mr van der Welle as a Director (and Chairman) of the Company. Mr van der Welle commenced his appointment with the Company immediately.

Mr van der Welle will receive Director's fees of £32,500.00 ($58,855.00) per year.

Subject to Shareholder approval, Mr van der Welle or his nominee will also be granted 1,000,000 Incentive Options on the terms and conditions set out below and in Schedule 2.

Other than time based vesting periods, there are no additional performance criteria on the Incentive Options. Given the speculative nature of the Company's activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of Mr van der Welle and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. As such the Incentive Options granted will generally only be of benefit if Mr van der Welle performs to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options.

The Company is a small listed company, which is focused on exploration and development activities and acquisition of new business opportunities. The Company has limited funds, most of which are allocated to specific exploration and development activities. The Board has chosen to issue Incentive Options to Mr van der Welle as a key component of his remuneration in order to attract and retain his services and to provide incentive linked to the performance of the Company. The Board considers that Mr van der Welle's experience will greatly assist the Company. As such, the Board believes that the number of Incentive Options to be granted to Mr van der Welle is commensurate to his value to the Company.

The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed. If the Incentive Options are not granted, the Company could remunerate Mr van der Welle for additional amounts of cash. However, the Board considers it reasonable for the remuneration of Mr van der Welle to have a cash component and an equity component to further align Mr van der Welle's interests with Shareholders and maintain a strong cash position for the Company.

10.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed grant of the Incentive Options. Listing Rule 10.11 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company to a related party. As Mr van der Welle is a related party of the Company and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 10.12 apply, Shareholder approval is required in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Shareholder approval of the Incentive Options grant and the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, information is provided as follows:

(a) 1,000,000 Incentive Options will be granted to Mr van der Welle (or his nominees)

(b) the key terms of the Incentive Options to be granted under Resolution 7 are as follows:

(ii) conviction of any criminal offence which in the reasonable opinion of the Board brings the holder or the Company into disrepute;

(d) the date the holder is disqualified from holding the office of director;

and thereafter no party has any claim against any other party arising under or in respect of the Incentive Options.

(b) do all such acts matters and things to obtain the grant of official quotation of the Share on ASX no later than five Business Days after issuing the Share.

However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least ten business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of Incentive Options the opportunity to exercise their Incentive Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
