"We are very pleased to have closed our acquisition of GTE's Brazilian operations. The main asset purchased from GTE is the Tie Field, a producing oil field with development potential.  The Tie Field is at the core of what we are about, "developing underperforming assets".  We are already on the ground and working closely with our new colleagues in Brazil to increase production from the Tie Field. This acquisition is a transformational milestone in the Company's short history.  We are now 100% focused on the next phase of the Company's growth," stated Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha.

Maha Energy AB Announces Resubmission of Q1 Financial Statement Press Release

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") yesterday released its Q1 Financials Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The Q1 Financial Statements are attached and have not changed and are available on the Company's website at www.mahaenergy.ca.  The Company is herewith providing the following highlights as is customary with releasing Financial Statement Press Releases which was not provided as part of yesterday's press release.

First Quarter 2017

  • Total Production of 8,657 bbls for the period compared to 0 bbls for the same period 2016
  • Revenue of KUSD 449 for the period compared to KUSD 0 for the same period 2016

  • Maha completed the anticipated workover of the SES-107 D well.  Upon completion of the work, the well tested 220 BOPD on the newly installed jet pump.
  • The planned Jet Vak operations at the LAK Ranch heavy oil field in Wyoming were completed.  Three wells were re-entered and cleaned out.  Results suggested severe sand plugging in one well         and the Company has now expanded the previous small scale pilot hot water flood.
  • Maha sold its entire interest in the Manitou and Marwayne properties (the "Canadian Assets") to Petrocapita Oil and Gas L.P. ("Petrocapita") for total consideration of CAD$1.65 million, of which          CAD $750,000 is payable in cash over 9 months commencing March 15, 2017.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

The first three months of the year can be summed up in one word: "Brazil".  In Brazil, Maha completed the acquisition of the Tartaruga light oil field, added 220 BOPD of production to the Tartaruga field after a complicated workover and agreed to acquire (by providing a USD 3.5 million deposit) the Brazilian operations of Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE)

I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our new employees in Brazil to our expanding team at Maha!

Maha is a value driven Company.  We go where there is value – Brazil represents great value to investors in exploration and production of hydrocarbons.  Its fiscal regime is ranked by IHS as having one of the lower Government Takes in a survey of Global Hydrocarbon Fiscal Regimes. Recent political changes in Brazil combined with the bottoming of the oil commodity cycle in 2016 have presented remarkable opportunities in Brazil's very prolific oil basins.

An example is the GTE acquisition. Maha agreed with GTE to acquire their entire Brazilian operations which include the producing "Tie" light oil field.  During the first Quarter of 2017 GTE reported that the average Tie Field production was 1,398 BOEPD with a corresponding netback of USD 30.30/bbl.  Current Proven reserves are 7.7 million BOE and the 2P reserves are 10.2 million BOEs.

Maha has agreed to a purchase price of USD 35 million and the assumption of approximately USD 11 million in Letters of Credits and Guarantees to acquire this prolific cash-flowing asset. While reserves-based lending would have been the preferable financing tool for this acquisition since that market is not "open" currently, Maha was able to access capital through a senior secured bond in Sweden. Maha is fortunate to have a solid investor base in Scandinavia that shares the vision to 'buy when prices are low'.  Access to capital in these times give us a clear competitive advantage.

During the Quarter we reported updated reserves for the Company. The current reserves are indicative of the underlying value of our assets, even at oil prices near the bottom of the cycle.  In particular we note the great potential reflected in the "Possible" reserves category at Tartaruga.  We knew going into the acquisition that Tartaruga represented a solid production opportunity, but it also has very attractive upside potential which to date is underexploited.

The sale of our Canadian assets was completed during the quarter.  Petrocapita, the new Operator of the fields, purchased our 50% stake in the heavy oil producing Manitou field and our 30% working interest in the shut-in Marwayne heavy oil field for a combined cash and debenture pledge of CAD 1.65 million.  Maha paid just over CAD 1.9 million in mid-2014 for these assets which have been mostly cash flow positive since. Given the current market conditions in Canada we consider this good value.

Finally, Jet Vac operations on LAK Ranch heavy oil field in Wyoming were completed at the end of March.  While results were mixed, a lot of valuable data was acquired.  Based on the analysis of this data, it was decided to expand the current initial pilot hot water flood project to include an additional 2 injector wells to increase sweep efficiency.  The expanded hot water flood is currently being implemented. Initial results continue to be encouraging.

We thank you for your continued support.

    The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on the adoption of principles for the appointment of and instructions concerning the nomination committee as set forth below, to apply until a resolution on a change is resolved by the general meeting.

    The nomination committee shall consist of the chairman of the board and three members appointed by the three largest shareholders by votes at the end of the third quarter each year. The chairman of the board shall annually contact the shareholders who are entitled to appoint a member. Should any of the entitled shareholders waive their right to appoint a member to the nomination committee, the right is transferred to the fourth largest share­holder by votes, and so on. However, no more than five additional shareholders need be contacted, unless the chairman of the board finds that there are special reasons for doing so. When a shareholder is contacted with a request to appoint a representative of the nomination committee, the chairman of the board shall set out the req­uisite rules of procedure, such as the last date of response, etc.

    The names of the members of the nomination committee and the names of the shareholders appointing members shall be made public no later than six months prior to the annual general meeting. The nomi­nation committee appoints a chairman among its members. The chairman of the board shall not be the chair­man of the nomination committee. Should a member resign before the work of the nomination committee is con­cluded, and if deemed appropriate by the nomination committee, a replacement member shall be appointed by the shareholder that appointed the member who resigned, or, if that shareholder no longer represents one of the three largest shareholders by votes, by the shareholder representing such group. If a shareholder who has appoint­ed a certain member has substantially decreased its shareholding in the company, and the nomination com­mittee does not deem it inappropriate in view of a potential need of continuity prior to an impending general meeting, the member shall resign from the nomination committee and the nomination committee shall offer the largest shareholder who has not yet appointed a member of the nomination committee to appoint a new member.

    The nomination committee shall further be composed and perform such tasks that from time to time are stated in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The members of the nomination committee shall not receive remunera­tion from the company. Any costs incurred in connection with the work of the nomination committee shall be paid by the company, provided that they have been approved by the chairman of the board.

    Item 15. Resolution regarding changes to the articles of association

    The board of directors proposes to add a new item in the articles of association (new item 11) as follows:

    "11 § Place of shareholders' meeting

    The shareholders' meeting shall be held in Göteborg, Malmö or Stockholm."

    The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director, or anyone authorised by the board of directors, shall have the right to make any minor adjustments required in order to register this resolution.

    Item 16. Resolution regarding an incentive programme and issuance of warrants (LTIP)

    The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on an incentive programme through issuance of warrants as set forth below. The warrants shall entitle to subscription of new shares of class A in the Company ("Shares").

    Background

    The proposal to launch an incentive programme by the issuance of warrants is presented by the board of directors of the Company in order to strengthen the retention of employees with the company group and to motivate the employees to create shareholder value. The board of directors assess that these objectives are in line with all shareholders' interests.

    The programme encompasses employees employed by subsidiaries of the Company (together with the Company, the "Group"). Board members not employed by the Group are not allowed to participate. Those entitled to participate in the incentive programme are hereinafter referred to as "Participants".

    Terms and conditions for the issue of warrants

  • The Company shall issue not more than 750,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new Share, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.011.
  • The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by Maha Energy Inc (the "Subsidiary"), a subsidiary of the Company, after which the Subsidiary is to transfer the warrants to the Participants in accordance with the resolution adopted by            the general meeting and instructions from the board of directors of the Company.
  • Subscription of warrants shall be made by the Subsidiary on a subscription list following the general meeting's issue resolution. The board of directors of the Company shall be entitled to prolong the subscription period.
  • The warrants shall be issued without consideration (i.e. free of charge) to the Subsidiary.
  • If all issued warrants are subscribed for by the Subsidiary, transferred to and exercised by the Participants for subscription of new Shares, the Company's share capital will increase with SEK 8,250 (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with standard terms and conditions               applicable to the warrants).
  • The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new Shares during the period from and including 1 June 2020 until and including 31 December 2020. Warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of new Shares by 31 December 2020 shall lapse.
  • Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one new Share in the Company at a subscription price per Share (the "Exercise Price") corresponding to 100% of the volume weighted average last closing price for the Company's share on Nasdaq First North during the period       from and including 12 June 2017 until and including 15 June 2017. The Exercise Price thus calculated shall be rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.10, whereupon SEK 0.5 shall be rounded upwards. The Exercise Price may never be below the quotient value of the shares.
  • The warrants shall be subject to customary recalculation conditions.
  • Allocation principles to be applied in relation to Participants

    Warrants subscribed for by the Subsidiary shall be transferred to the Participants in accordance with instructions from the board of directors of the Company and the principles set forth below.

    The transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants are to be made without consideration (i.e. free of charge).

    The Participants' right to receive warrants shall be differentiated based on position, responsibility and work performance in the Group. The Participants will be divided into three different categories and only persons in such categories will be offered the right to receive warrants. The board of directors of the Company shall have the right to decide on the persons belonging to each category and on the allocation of warrants to such persons.

    Maximum allocation of warrants within each category of Participants:

    Category Maximum allocation per Participant
    COO 250,000
    CFO 250,000
    Other 250,000

    Allocated warrants may be exercised for subscription of new Shares in the Company during the period from and including 1 June 2020 until and including 31 December 2020. Subscription of new Shares may however not take place during so-called closed periods according to the EU Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in breach of relevant insider rules and regulations (including the Company's internal guidelines in this respect).

    Warrant agreement

    All warrants will be governed by warrant agreements to be entered into between each Participant and the Subsidiary in connection with the transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary. The warrant agreement will include certain transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions customary for such agreements.

    Reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights

    The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the Company wishes to offer warrants to employees of the Group in order to strengthen the retention of employees and to motivate them to contribute to the creation of shareholder value.

    Dilution, costs, etc.

    Upon full subscription, transfer and exercise of all 750,000 issued warrants; a total of 750,000 new Shares will be issued in the Company (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with recalculation conditions). This would lead to a dilution corresponding to 0.9% of the total share capital and number of votes in the Company (based on the share capital and number of shares in the Company registered as of the date of this proposal and calculated as the maximum amount of share capital and number of shares that may be issued, divided by the total share capital and the total number of shares in the Company after all warrants have been exercised).

    As a result of the number of Shares that can be subscribed for by virtue of warrants under the incentive programme represents less than 1% of the shares of the Company the incentive programme is expected to have only a marginal effect on the earnings per share and other key performance measures of the Company. Ongoing administration costs and other costs of the programme are minimal.

    Outstanding incentive programmes

    As of the date of this proposal, the Subsidiary has 1,998,000 stock options outstanding under a separate stock-based incentive plan. Upon exercise of the stock options, the option holders become shareholders in the Company instead of the Subsidiary. In order to facilitate such exchange the Company has issued the shares of class C2 to be converted to shares of class A and delivered to holders upon exercise of stock options.

    Approval of transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to Participants

    A resolution to issue warrants in accordance with this proposal also includes an approval of the transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants.

    Majority requirements

    This proposal to adopt the incentive programme and to issue warrants, as well as the approval of the transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants, is governed by the provisions in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw.
