Maha Energy AB: Announces delayed upcoming fully guaranteed rights issue and provides a Corporate operational update

The board of directors of Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") has decided to delay the upcoming fully guaranteed rights issue. Maha intends by press release to provide more information on the upcoming rights issue after the Easter Break.

In February, 2017, the board of directors of Maha announced the decision to carry out a fully guaranteed rights issue with pre-emptive rights for the shareholders and warrants holders (the "Rights Issue") for the purpose of financing the acquisition of Gran Tierra Inc.'s Brazilian operations. On April 6, 2017, adjusted terms of the Rights Issue were announced through an additional press release.

The reason for the delay of the fully guaranteed rights offering is that the Company experienced certain unforeseen delays in being able to publish the prospectus required in connection with the Rights Issue. More information will be provided as soon as it becomes available.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha commented: "It is unfortunate we have to delay the Rights Issue again due to administrative delays, and we are working hard to finalize the prospectus."

Results of well testing at Tartaruga Light Oil Field

The two producing wells were recently tested individually and continue to produce as expected.  The SES107D well was tested at a surface restricted rate of 252 BOPD whilst 7TTG well produced, also restricted, at 155 BOPD.  Both wells are producing using a single hydraulic jet pumping system, and are providing positive cash flow.

Results of Jet Vac System at LAK Ranch Oil Field

The planned Jet Vac clean-out operations at the Company's LAK Ranch oil field in Wyoming were recently completed.  Severe sand ('fines') clogging was encountered in the 12-23 well and was subsequently cleaned and production restored.  The other two wells that were targeted for formation damage removal did not encounter significant sand intrusion.  It is therefore believed, based on these tests, that the fines emanate from the formation and acts negatively on production in the near wellbore region.  The last well to be cleaned out, 12-19, showed very good response to the clean out and returned to 'pre-damaged' production levels.

As a result of the Jet Vac operations, important information surrounding the suspected near wellbore damage has been obtained and is now being analyzed.  The fines migration will be addressed by optimized well placement and future pump selection.  Because of the encouraging results from the existing small-scale water injection scheme and the information obtained during the Jet Vac operations, the current small-scale hot water injection scheme will be expanded to increase the sweep efficiency of the existing producing wells.  Results from the increased sweep efficiency are expected within the first three months of the implementation and will be communicated in due course.

 "I am very pleased with the progress at both Tartaruga and LAK.  At Tartaruga we doubled production through the successful workover of SES-107D and the subsequent jet pump insertion.  We continue to work hard to debottleneck our pumping system so we can optimize production to the higher levels we believe the wells are capable of.  At LAK with our announced expanded hot water flood we expect to see improved results by July 2017.  And I am pleased to report that during the first 100 days of 2017, we produced more oil than what we did during all of 2016" said Jonas Lindvall.

Proposed Bond Financing Update

On February 13, 2017, the Company engaged Arctic Securities ("Arctic") to act as broker for the previously announced bond financing in respect of our planned acquisition of the Gran Tierra Energy Inc.'s Brazilian Operations (see Press Release dated February 13, 2017). The Company continues to work closely with Arctic to complete the necessary preparations for the financing and is pleased with the progress so far.

Maha Energy AB: Adjusted terms for the upcoming fully guaranteed rights issue in Maha Energy AB

This press release may not be published or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Australia, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zeeland, Singapore or South Africa, Switzerland or any other jurisdiction where such action is subject to legal restrictions.

Adjusted terms for the upcomingfully guaranteed rights issue in Maha Energy AB

April 6, 2017

In February, 2017, the board of directors of Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") announced the decision to carry out a fully guaranteed rights issue with pre-emptive rights for the shareholders and warrants holders (the "Rights Issue") for the purpose of financing the acquisition of Gran Tierra Inc.'s Brazilian operations. The board of directors has now decided on adjusted terms as set forth below. The terms primarily adjusted are the record date for participation in the Rights Issue and the number of subscription rights for subscription of shares.

Background and reasons

On February 6, 2017 Maha agreed to acquire the Brazil business unit of Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra") for a cash consideration of USD 35 million, subject to closing adjustments (the "Acquisition") and the assumption of certain letters of credit and bonds in the approximate amount of USD 11 million. The Acquisition means that Maha will own and operate the 100% working interest in six concession agreements located in the Reconcavo Basin of Brazil comprising 41,606 gross acres with average production expected to be 1,200 – 1,500 boepd in 2017. Closing of the Acquisition is subject to receiving the approval of the Acquisition from the Agencia Nacional do Petroleo, Gas Natural e Biocombustiveis of Brazil, completion of a financing by Maha and other closing conditions standard for similar transactions.

Maha has provided Gran Tierra a cash deposit of $3.5 million and is required to deposit into escrow the remaining cash consideration of $31.5 million on or before June 1, 2017. On February 6, 2017 a fully committed directed share issue of 12,919,326 Maha A-shares at a subscription price of SEK 7.10 (the "Directed Share Issue") was resolved upon which gave Maha gross proceeds of SEK 91,727,214.60 (approximately $10.5 million). A debt financing of a minimum gross proceeds of SEK 300 – 350 million is planned to take place on or before June 1, 2017, the details of which have already been made public. In order to finance the Acquisition, the Company's board of directors under the authority of the latest general meeting, has also resolved on the Rights Issue with the adjusted principal terms set forth below.

Adjusted principal terms of the fully guaranteed Rights Issue

On April 6, 2017 by authority of the latest general meeting the board of directors of Maha has decided on adjusted principal terms for the Rights Issue (with pre-emptive rights for the shareholders and warrant holders). Seven (7) subscription rights (instead of six (6) subscription rights) confers right to subscribe for one (1) new A-share. The ratio has been changed in order to include subscription rights for all outstanding A-shares, B-shares, C2-shares and warrants at the time of the record date. Participants in the Directed Share Issue have committed contractually not to sell or make use of subscription rights received in relation to the Rights Issue as a result of participation in the Directed Share Issue.

New shares in the Rights Issue represented by subscription rights of shares issued in and still held by participants in the Directed Share Issue will be available for the other shareholders by oversubscription.

Subscription rights for B-shares and C2-shares will be received by Swedish Exchange Co, a company created under the laws of Sweden to hold the B-shares and C2-shares. There is no commitment for the Swedish Exchange Co. to exercise the subscription rights received in connection with the Rights Issue and the Company has been informed that there is no such intention. This means that the number of new A-shares represented by subscription rights in relation to the B-shares and C2-shares will be available for others to subscribe through oversubscription.

Existing holders of A-shares, B-shares and C2-shares and warrant holders of the Company will receive rights to subscribe for new A-shares in proportion to the shares and warrants held on the record date of participation of April 13, 2017.

The subscription price in the Rights Issue is SEK 7.10 per share. At full subscription, the total Rights Issue proceeds will be approximately SEK 92 million before transaction costs.

If not all shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights in accordance with the shareholders' and warrant holders' preferential rights mentioned above, the board of directors shall resolve on allotment up to the maximum amount of the Rights Issue. In such case, priority will be given firstly to those who have also subscribed for shares by exercise of subscription rights, on the occasion of oversubscription, pro rata in relation to their subscription for shares by exercise of subscription rights and, to the extent not possible, by drawing of lots. Secondly, allotment of shares shall be made to those who have submitted their interest in subscribing for new shares without priority preferential rights and, lastly, to those who have provided guarantees for the subscription of shares, pro rata in relation to the guarantee provided.

Guarantee Undertakings

The Rights Issue is fully guaranteed by the following existing shareholders and external guarantors: Kvalitena AB (publ), Invium Partners AB, Pervasive Capital AB, Phantome de Genolier AB, City Capital Partners AB, Litcap AB and LMK Venture Partners AB.

Timetable for the Rights Issue

11 April                        Last day of trading inclusive subscription rights

13 April                        Record date for participation in the Rights Issue

13 April                        Estimated date for publication of the prospectus

18 – 27 April               Trading in subscription rights

18 April – 2 May          Subscription period

7 May                          Estimated day for announcement of outcome of the Rights Issue

Share Structure and Share Capital

The Company has a share capital in the amount of SEK 926,577.52 divided between 84,234,320 shares (out of which 71,464,647 are A-shares listed on Nasdaq First North, 10,771,673 are B-shares and 1,998,000 are C2-shares). The Rights Issue may thus entail a dilution of approximately 15 percent of the share capital and number of votes represented by A-shares and approximately 13 percent of the total share capital and 13.5 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

Advisers

Stockholm Corporate Finance AB acts as financial adviser and Setterwalls Advokatbyrå AB acts as legal adviser (as to Swedish law) to the Company in connection with the Rights Issue. FNCA Sweden AB is the Company's Certified Adviser.

About reserves

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on:

 –          analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data

  • the use of established technology
  • specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable, and shall be disclosed
  • Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved + probable reserves.

Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved + probable + possible reserves.

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Completes SES 107 Workover and Provides Operational Update for Brazil

OPERATIONAL UPDATE – BRAZIL

The Workover

The previously announced workover (the "Workover") of the SES107D well (the "Well") on the Company's Tartaruga Field near Aracaju, Brazil was substantially completed earlier this week. The objective of the Workover was to remove an old tubing string and the associated lost in hole debris from an old wireline tool, recomplete the Well, install a hydraulic jet pump, and to return the Well to continuous production.

The Well has been producing intermittently on free flow for the past years and was a perfect candidate for the application of artificial lift.  The use of a jet pump allows for efficient comingling of oil and gas, which is crucial for this type of reservoir.  The pump is similar to that used at the currently producing 7TTG well on the Tartaruga Field which has been on continuous pump production since December 2015.

The completed exhaustive workover program successfully fished partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing and approximately 2300 m of frayed wireline out of the hole allowing for the installation of the new hydraulic jet pump in the hole.

The Test

A production flow test of the Well commenced on 12 February 2017 at 2100 hrs.  The test is now complete and after a significant clean-out period where most of the workover fluid was recovered, the final production rate was recorded at (oil) 220 BOPD and (water) 90 BWPD (the final six-hour production average was 192 BOPD) and increasing while water production was decreasing.

"The well test is very much in line with our predicted production rate.  The test has been successfully concluded, and as soon as the workover rig has been demobilized, the well will be hooked up to the permanent production facilities at Tartaruga for continuous production.  We are very pleased with the results.", commented Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy.

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces Sale of Canadian Assets

Sale of Canadian Assets

Maha has agreed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Petrocapita Oil and Gas L.P. ("Petrocapita") pursuant to which Maha will sell to Petrocapita its entire interest in the Manitou and Marwayne properties (the "Canadian Assets") for a total of CAD$1.65 million.  The consideration is payable in two parts: (a) cash payment of a total of CAD $750,000 to be paid over 9 months commencing March 15, 2017 and (b) the balance by convertible Debenture granted by Petrocapita Income Trust, the parent of Petrocapita (the "Trust") maturing December 1, 2023 (the "Debenture").  Under the Debenture arrangement, the Trust pays annual interest on the outstanding balance at 6%; and Maha may convert the outstanding balance at any time after December 31, 2017 to publically traded Trust Units based on the 20 day volume weighted average trading price of the Unit at the time of conversion. The outstanding balance will be secured by a registered charge on the Canadian Assets. The Trust is publically listed on TSX Venture Exchange and trades under the symbol "PCE-U:CN". The Canadian Assets, net of abandonment liabilities, have a book value of zero.

The Canadian Assets were originally purchased as part of a much larger proposed acquisition in 2014 that was not closed due to the substantial decline in oil prices during the third quarter of 2014. In February 2015 the then Operator ("Palliser") went into Receivership and as result no capital has been spent since. Petrocapita purchased Palliser from the Receiver Manager in May, 2016.   Since the Canadian Assets are non-operated and small in comparison to Maha's other assets, it is in the best interest of the Company to divest these assets in order to focus on Brazil and Wyoming.

Jonas Lindvall, Maha's CEO commented:

"We have taken the decision to divest out of our non-operated Canadian operations in order to concentrate on our higher impact properties in South America.  The low oil prices have impacted the Canadian assets hard and we can deploy the proceeds from the sale in areas where it can have a much higher impact.   Under the current market conditions, the sale to Petrocapita is at a favorable price and on reasonable terms.  We wish them every success with these assets."

Press release

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Provides Operational Update for Brazil.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE – BRAZIL

The operations concerning the workover (the "Workover") of the SES107D well (the "Well") on the Company's Tartaruga Field near Aracaju, Brazil will commence Tuesday, January 17, 2017.   Schlumberger Servicos de Petroleo Ltda ("Schlumberger") slick line equipment arrived on location on Sunday January 15, 2017 and Schlumberger will commence preparatory work to allow rig provider, Braserv Petroleo Ltda, to mobilize its 500 hp Drilling Rig 147 (the "Rig") later in the week and access the Well.

The objective of the Workover is to recomplete the Well, install a hydraulic jet pump and to return the Well to continuous production.  It is anticipated that the Rig will take 3 days to mobilize and rig up. The current estimate is workover operations will begin on Sunday January 22, 2017.

History

The SES107D Well was originally drilled in 1994 and was the discovery well for the Tartaruga Field.  Oil was tested in the Penedo 6 sand and was immediately placed on production.  The Well free flowed oil for 14 months, after which a shallower oil bearing zone -the Penedo-1- was perforated and completed.  The Penedo-1 has been free flowing oil since 1996.  No pump has ever been run in the SES-107D Well.

The use of a pump should provide lift for the oil like the currently producing 7TTG well at the Tartaruga Field, which has been on continuous pump production since December 2015.

The Workover

The SES107D Well was recompleted as a free flowing well in 1996 in the Penedo-1 reservoir  Attempts were made in 2013 to cut and recover the production string deep in the well as part of a recompletion of the Well to install a downhole pump.  Unfortunately, the cut was unsuccessful, and the pipe cutter became stuck at 3014 m.; this and 2300 m. of wireline was left in the in the production tubing which together with some partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing need to be recovered before the jet pump can be installed.

A very detailed program has been developed to fish the stuck pipe cutter, the associated wireline and the partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing out of the hole.  Once recovered, a new hydraulic jet pump will be run in the hole.  The Operator has been preparing the well and surface facilities since December  for the installation of the jet pump (which was designed and purchased in the United States). As with any fishing operation, many contingencies have been planned for that can impact operations and the schedule

The Pump

Jet pumps generate high-velocity fluid jets to lower downhole pressures and increase production rates. The basic operating principles of the subsurface jet pump mimic those of the jet engine. Both the pump and engine contain a nozzle that converts pressurized, slow moving fluid into lower pressure, fast- moving fluid by adiabatic expansion. In the case of a jet engine, the fast- moving fluid-a burning mixture of air and jet fuel-generates the thrust that propels a plane forward. The thrust generated by the movement of a high- velocity jet pump fluid, on the other hand, lifts hydrocarbons to the surface.1

The selected hydraulic jet pump is ideally suited to handle Tartaruga's 40 deg API crude's associated gas rate and the paraffinic characteristics.  The 'non-moving' parts of this pump and its surface access encourages more efficient production operations and less 'wear and tear' on downhole production equipment than other artificial lift choices.

Upon completion of the Workover, the Company will provide updates on results of the Workover.

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces the Appointment of New Interim Chief Financial Officer and the Redemption all C1 shares

New Interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")

Maha announces that effective January 2, 2017, Mr. Brad Giblin has resigned as CFO of Maha Energy Inc.  Brad will be replaced by a new Interim CFO, Mr. Mark Hopkins.  Mark has over 35 years' experience in the oil and gas industry in senior financial, operational and executive leadership roles.  Mark is presently also CFO of a prominent oil and gas service company in North America.  Prior to that Mark served as CFO of Azabache Energy Inc., which operated in Argentina and Colombia and president of Canadian distribution operations for National-Oilwell.  Prior to that Mark worked with Pricewaterhouse Coopers in Calgary and Venezuela.  Mark has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Saskatchewan and is a Chartered Accountant.

Jonas Lindvall, Maha's CEO commented:

"I welcome Mark Hopkins to our team.  Mark has a great deal of experience in South America and we believe will be a great fit and helpful addition to our South American operations.  I would like to thank Brad for his service with Maha.  We wish him well in his future endeavors."
                                                                  
C1 Share Redemption

The Board of Directors of Maha has resolved to redeem the 1,844,527 C1 shares in accordance with the redemption clause in the articles of association.

As outlined in Maha's Prospectus, all C1 shares were issued to Amha Swedish Exchange Co AB in order to facilitate delivery of Maha AB shares in the event any outstanding Maha (Canada) warrants issued by the subsidiary Maha Energy Inc. during 2014 were exercised.  The exercise period for the warrants expired in November and December 2016. No warrants were exercised as the strike price was higher than the market price.  As the C1 shares no longer have a purpose they will be redeemed at no cost to the Company and at their original quotient value.

Upon registration of the redemption, the share capital will be reduced from SEK 804,710 to SEK 784,420 and the total number of shares will be reduced from 73,155,521 to 71,310,994. In addition to the 56,522,199 A-shares listed on Nasdaq First North, there are 12,140,795 B-shares and 2,648,000 C2-shares in the Company.
