88 ENERGY LIMITED
ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS
88 Energy limited (ASX:88E; AIM:88E, "88 Energy" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that it has reached agreement with several consultants to take
small portions of options and stock, at market price, in lieu of cash fees
provided for various services, including: legal, marketing and strategic
introductions. In the current capital constrained environment, it is
encouraging that consultants are willing to back the Company's vision and take
exposure as optionholders / shareholders versus the certainty provided by cash.
The Company is issuing 28,000,000 listed options and 2,000,000 ordinary shares
in relation to these agreements.
The Company is also issuing 3,000,000 unlisted options, on the same terms as
the recent issue to Directors, under its Employee Option Scheme approved at its
General Meeting on the 12th Feb 2014. These will be issued to key management
personnel to align the interests of 88E employees with its Directors and
shareholders.
The options and shares will be issued under the Company's placement capacity
under listing rule 7.1.
The Company will apply for the new shares to be admitted to trading on both the
ASX and AIM markets. Trading in the new shares on AIM is expected to commence
on or around 17 March 2015.
Following the above movements, the Company will have the following securities
