    Item 15. Resolution regarding an incentive programme and issuance of warrants to senior management and key employees (LTIP)

    The board of directors in Maha Energy AB (publ) (the "Company") proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on an incentive programme for senior management and certain key employees through issuance of warrants entitling to subscription of new shares of class A in the Company ("Shares") as set forth below.

    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 May 2021 until and including 31 November 2021. Warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of new Shares by 31 November 2021 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 24 May 2018 until and including 29 May 2018. 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 will 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.

    Maximum allocation of warrants within each category of Participants:

    Position Maximum allocation per Participant
    CEO 150,000 warrants
    CCO & VP 150,000 warrants
    CFO 100,000 warrants
    COO 100,000 warrants
    VP Exploration 75,000
    Controller 50,000
    Other Key employees, maximum of 7 employees 125,000 warrants

    Allocated warrants may be exercised for subscription of new Shares in the Company during the period from and including 1 May 2021 until and including 31 November 2021. 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 standard terms and conditions applicable to the warrants). This would lead to a dilution corresponding to 0.8% 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).

    The incentive programme is expected to have a marginal effect on the Company's earnings per share. A preliminary estimate of the market value of the warrants is SEK 2.29 per warrant for the call period, assuming an underlying market value and exercise price of SEK 6.70 per share. The Black Scholes valuation model has been used for valuing the warrants and assumes a risk free interest of -0.17 percent and a volatility of 47 percent.

    Costs related to the issuance of warrants under the incentive programme will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 and recognized as an expense in the income statement during the vesting period. The preliminary estimate of total cost to be recorded during the term of the programme is SEK 1,715,656.  Ongoing administration costs and other costs of the programme are minimal.

     Outstanding incentive programmes

    As of the date of this proposal, the Subsidiary has 800,000 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.

    In addition, 750,000 warrants are outstanding under a long term incentive program for employees and senior management of the Group. Each warrant entitles to subscribe for one new Share in the Company. The exercise price of the warrants corresponds to 100 percent 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 warrants may be exercised from and including 1 June 2020 until and including 31 December 2020.

    Approval of transfer 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.Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)), and a valid resolution therefore requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.

    Item 16. Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to increase the share capital

    The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an authorization for the board of directors to – for the period up to the next annual general meeting and at one or more occasions – resolve upon issuance of new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. Payment may be made in cash, in kind, trough set-off of claims or otherwise be conditional. The company's share capital may by support of the authorization be increased by an amount corresponding to 10% of the share capital and number of shares in the company as of on the date the board of directors make use of the authorisation. Deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be allowed in situations where a directed issue is deemed more appropriate for the company due to timing, commercial or similar reasons, and in order to enable acquisitions. The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director, or anyone authorized by the board of directors, shall have the right to make any minor adjustments required in order to register this resolution.

    Number of shares and votes in the company

    The total number of shares in the company at the time of issuance of this notice is 99,228,363 (88,046,742 A-shares, 9,183,621 convertible B-shares and 1,998,000 convertible C2-shares). The company does not hold any of its own shares.

    Shareholders' right to request information

    Pursuant to Chapter 7 section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) the board of directors and the managing director are under a duty to, if any shareholder so requests and the board of directors deems that it can be made without material damage to the company, provide information, regarding circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda or of the company's economic situation. Such duty to provide information also comprises the company's relation to the other group companies, the consolidated financial statements and such circumstances regarding subsidiaries which are set out in the foregoing sentence.

    Documentation

    The financial accounts, auditor's report, complete proposals for resolution and other documents to be dealt with at the general meeting will be kept available at the company's office not later than three weeks before the meeting. The documents will be sent free of charge to shareholders who so request and state their postal address. The documents will also be made available not later than the aforementioned date on the company's website www.mahaenergy.ca. All the above mentioned documents will also be presented at the general meeting.

    Press release
    Stockholm
    April 4, 2018

    Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces Operational Update

    The Company is pleased to announce that it will shortly commence the previously announced 2018 Work Program at its two producing oil and gas fields in Bahia and Sergipe Provinces Brazil, (see Press Released dated 22 February, 2018).

    Tartaruga Field

    The Work Program at Tartaruga is kicked off today with the mobilization of a coiled tubing unit from Macae to the field.The workover will include upsizing the current 1.5" completion string and the perforating of a previously unperforated producing zone of the 7TTG well (the "7TTG Workover").  The Braserv Rig 147 has been contracted to perform the perforating and recompletion of the well.  The 7TTG Workover operations are expected to take between 3 and 4 weeks.

    Additionally, plans are well developed to mobilize a 1500 HP drilling rig to Tartaruga for the reentry of and horizontal sidetrack of the 107D well (the "Re-entry and Sidetrack").  The Re-entry and Sidetrack will commence as soon as possible after the 7TTG Workover is completed.  The Re-entry and Sidetrack is expected to take 6 weeks to drill and complete.

    The production facilities at Tartaruga will be shut down during the 7TTG Workover and Re-entry and Sidetrack.  As announced the Company will be upgrading the facilities to accommodate expected increases in production from these operations.

    Tie Field

    Upon completion of the Re-entry and Sidetrack at Tartaruga, the 1500 HP drilling rig will then be transported to the Tie Field where the Company will drill a new well to target the oil productive Agua Grande and Sergi formations at a structurally optimal position (the "Attic Well").  A secondary objective of the Attic Well will be to explore the previously undrilled Boipeba reservoir which is located below the oil bearing Sergi formation.    The Attic Well at Tie is expected to take 6 weeks to drill and complete.

    Unlike Tartaruga Field where production will be shut down during the workover and drilling period, it is planned to continue to produce the Tie Field during the drilling of the Attic Well.  The Hydraulic jet pumps that were ordered at the end of November have been manufactured and are now on a ship steering for Brazil.  The pumps left the United States on 20 March, 2018 and is expected to arrive in Brazil later in April.  One of the jet pumps will be installed on the shut in GTE-3 well as soon as it has cleared customs in Brazil.

    In order to ready the GTE-3 well for the Jet Pump, a workover unit will be mobilized to coincide with the installation of the jet pump to convert the well for pumping operations.  All necessary completion equipment is on order and is scheduled to be available in time for the workover   (the "Tie Workover").

    Production Update

    During the last week of March, oil deliveries from the Tie Field was reduced due to an unexpected shutdown at one of the refineries accepting Tie oil as well an unscheduled maintenance issue at the delivery station to the other refinery to which Tie Field oil is sold.  This affected total oil production for the month of March.  Both issues are now resolved and production from the Tie Field is back to normal.

    During the 7TTG Workover and the 107D Re-entry and Sidetrack production at the Tartaruga Field will require shutdowns (most of April, May and likely part of June). The Company anticipates increased production from the positive effects of the jet pump installed on GTE-3 will help to keep overall corporate production stable during the 7TTG Workover, the 107D Re-entry and Sidetrack and the Tie drilling operations.

    Letter to Shareholders

    Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

    We closed 2017 on a very positive note with Maha reaching a number of key milestones in an improved industry business environment. First- this is the first quarter in the history of the Company that a positive net result is reported; second- Maha's reserves continue to increase; and, third- Maha has enjoyed an increasing oil price trend that continued throughout the last quarter.

    Whilst 2017 was a year of growth by acquisition; 2018 will be a year of growth through the drill bit.  Maha has a very ambitious capital budget for 2018 that should result in solid and steady growth for Maha. The key highlights for the Q4 are as follows:

    · EBITDA for Q4 was TUSD 2,965  
    · Net Result (after tax) for Q4 was TUSD 1,059
    · Proven Reserve are up 11% at 9.5 million barrels
    · Proven plus Probable Reserves are up 26% at 34.3 million barrels
    · Maha produced and sold 133,619 barrels of oil during the quarter.
    · Maha produced and sold 79.828 MMSCF of gas during the quarter.
    · Average Daily production for the quarter was 1,597 BOEs/day
    · Company Netback USD 31.77 /BOE

    Reserves
    With the acquisitions of the Tie Field and the Tartaruga Field, the Company is rapidly moving into a more robust stage of growth.  Along with the improving quarterly results, the Company's reserves growth reflects the Company's now solid asset foundation as shown in the graph below.

    (Please see Graph in PDF attached)

    Tartaruga Field: 
    Petrophysical and geophysical work undertaken at the end of 2017 along with material balance analysis has provided further evidence of larger volume accumulations at Tartaruga.  The lack of water production and a steady gas oil ratio after the jet pump installation indicates larger reserves volumes than initially mapped. Remapping and an in-depth investigation of the petrophysical characteristics of the 20+ sandstone layers in the Penedo sandstone now provides for a more realistic volume model for the Pendeo sandstone.  Since only 2 of the 27 mapped sandstone layers in the  
    Penedo have been placed on production and only 2 additional sandstone layers have been tested, this analysis confirms Tartaruga as a future robust production asset.

    Tie Field:  
    Remapping of the Tie field confirmed the Proven and Probable (2P) volumes and the revised geophysics changed the shape of the subsurface structures somewhat.  The Tie Field produced 0.48 million barrels in 2017 which resulted in slightly reduced reported Proven Reserves.  The Proven and Probable (2P) Reserves remain very similar to those of reported as at December 31st, 2016.

    LAK Ranch:  
    The Proven Reserves remain small (34,000 bbls), however, the very decent values for Probable and Possible reserves continue to validate this asset's potential.  Remember, the oil in place is only between 200 m – 600 m below the earth's surface.

    A natural progression of the Company's assets is that reserves will continue to migrate from the Possible category into the Probable, and from the Probable to the Proven category.

    The Boipeba
    During the recent remapping of the Tie Field structures, a deeper structure very similar to the currently producing Sergei and Agua Grande formations was mapped.  This structurally closed sandstone formation, the "Boipeba", is a regionally producing sandstone.  The Boipeba has not been drilled on the Tie Field, and hence constitutes an excellent Near Field Exploration target.

    In an effort to evenly distribute the production load over the two producing reservoirs on the Tie field, and to increase production, a new production well will be drilled on the Tie field during 2018.  The position of this production well will be placed so that the Boipeba formation can be penetrated and tested in an optimal position.  This type of drilling for Near Field Exploration targets is ideal; should the Boipeba prove to not contain oil, it will still be completed at the shallower producing intervals. Really a free shot at a significant exploration structure.  The Boipeba well will be drilled on the crest of the structure and will intersect the Agua Grande, Sergei and the Boipeba at an optimal position.

    Both the Agua Grande and the Sergei formations are expected to flow to surface without the requirements for artificial lift.

    As we continue into 2018, the pace of growth at Maha is expected to increase.  The capital plan (as previously announced on February 22, 2018) and work program to increase production is now well on its way and we look forward to a very busy and productive year.

    We thank you for your continued support.

    Maha Energy AB: Announces 2018 Capital Plan and Future Production Guidance

    Maha Energy AB (publ)

    Biblioteksgatan 1

    SE-111 46 Stockholm

    www.mahaenergy.ca

    Press release

    Stockholm

    February 22, 2018

    Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces 2018 Capital Plan and future Production Guidance

    Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") has today released details of the proposed 2018 capital plan ("Capital Plan") and expected minimum future production levels for its operations in Brazil and the USA.

    During 2017 the Company completed a number of financings, issued a bond and completed acquisitions of two significant producing oil and gas properties in Brazil.  As outlined in its April 2017 – Five Year Capital Plan Press Release, 2018 was meant to be and will be a year of organic growth.  Below is an outline of the Company's 2018 Capital Plan to achieve this growth.

    Jonas Lindvall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Maha Energy, commented: "The benefits of merging the closely situated Tartaruga and Tie business units is bearing fruit.  Our new streamlined Brazil organization is commencing a vigorous 2018 capital plan.  I predict 2018 will be a year of healthy growth for the Company."

    LAK Ranch -Wyoming USA

    (a)        Reservoir Analysis

    Laboratory studies and reservoir analysis completed in 2017 on LAK have confirmed that pressure support is the dominating requirement for mobilizing the 19° API oil from the LAK reservoir.  This concept is further supported by the two recent successful field trials, (one of which is still ongoing), where commercial quantities of oil have been mobilized and produced.

    (b)        First Expansion Phase

    With strengthening oil prices and the positive reservoir analysis (above), the Company is planning a 2018 first expansion phase of the hot water flood commenced in 2016.  This program expansion phase entails drilling two more horizontal producing wells and six vertical injector wells.  Two of the planned injector wells will be placed up dip of an existing horizontal producer that requires pressure support.  Completion of the drilling program is scheduled for Q3 2018.  Upon completion, LAK will have a total of 5 horizontal producing wells and 9 injectors.  The Drilling Program is subject to various routine drilling approvals by Landowners and Wyoming Authorities.

    Tartaruga – Sergipe, Brazil

    (a)        Re-entry and Workover of 7TTG

    One of the existing producing wells (7TTG) will be re-entered during the first half of the year to recomplete the production string with a larger diameter tubing to optimize production.  Technical analysis suggests current production is constrained due to the undersized tubing currently in place.  During the same workover, the Company plans to perforate two previously untested intervals in the well.  One of these intervals may be stimulated to increase production volumes.  Upon completion of the workover, the 7TTG well should be producing from 3 intervals instead of the current 1.  The workover is expected to take 3 weeks to complete.

    (b)        Sidetrack of 107D

    After the recompletion of 7TTG, a drilling rig will be brought in to sidetrack the other producing well at Tartaruga (Well 107D).  The current completion will be recovered, and the well sidetracked.  The sidetrack will be drilled directionally and end with a 500 m long horizontal drainhole in the Pendeo sandstone.  This operations is expected to start immediately after the 7TTG workover and should take 45 days.  A new hydraulic pump has been ordered from the United States and is expected in Brazil in April.  This will be installed upon completion of the 7TTG sidetrack.

    The Tartaruga field will be shut in during the 7TTG workover and the 107D drilling for safety reasons.

    (c)        Facility Upgrade

    Production test results of the Sidetrack and Workover will dictate upgrade requirements for the production handling facilities at Tartaruga.  Current capacity of this production facility is limited, because of gas offtake constraints, to about 500 BOPD.  Maha is presently securing gas offtake agreements to handle the associated gas from the anticipated increase in production.  Additional work on the facility will include upsizing existing oil and gas handling equipment such as treaters and separators.  Facility work is expected to be completed during the second half of 2018.

    Tie Field –  Bahia, Brazil

    (a)        New Hydraulic Jet Pumps

    Two new hydraulic jet pumps were ordered at the end of 2017.  The pump equipment is expected to be shipped from the United States at the middle of April.  Installation and commissioning is scheduled for the end of Q2 (subject to shipping and customs clearance).  The first pump will be installed on the GTE3 well, currently shut in, and will add oil production from both the Agua Grande and Sergei zones.  The second pump will be installed on the currently producing GTE4 well.  The theoretical pump capacity is over 2,000 barrels of liquids per pump

    (b.1)     Attic Well

    A vertical production well (the Attic Well) is planned to be drilled on the crest of the Tie structure.  The structure is a 3-way fault bounded structure that extends across multiple reservoirs.  Both the Agua Grande and the Sergei reservoirs are known to be oil bearing and the structurally high well location is expected to access previously unproduced oil and gas from both reservoirs.  Both zones are expected to be free flowing and will not initially require artificial lift

    (b.2)     Attic Well Exploration Target

    A deeper reservoir, and of similar size as the Sergei reservoir, the Boipeba has been mapped on 3D seismic and is located +/-250 m below the oil producing Sergei reservoir.  The Boipeba reservoir has not been penetrated on the Tie structure and hence forms a near field exploration target to the Company.  The Attic Well will be drilled in such a way so that the Boipeba can be drilled, and if applicable, tested – but at the same time safely accessing the already known oil producing Agua Grande and Sergei reservoirs.

    The Attic well is scheduled to be drilled right after the 107D horizontal sidetrack, and is expected to be a free flowing oil well.

    (c)       Facility Upgrade

    The current production facility at the Tie field is sized to handle approximately 2500 BOPD and associated gas.  With the installation of the jet pumps and the drilling of the Attic Well, the handling capacity of the facilities must be increased.  Plans are underway to increase facility capacity to approximately 5000 BOPD and the associated gas.

    (d)        Waterflood

    In order to support the Tie field water flood project that commenced in October, 2017, another water supply well will be drilled during 2018.

    Production

    The Company expects to complete most if not all of the Capital Plan prior to year end 2018.  The exact timing of the operations is dependent upon a number of factors including delivery of long lead items, rig availability, permitting and logistics.  Depending on the results of the operations, the Company will need to find new markets and offtake arrangements for production increases.  As a minimum the Company expects to achieve, those production levels reflected in its April 2017 Five Year Capital Plan: an average annual net production of 2,040 BOPD for 2018, 3,990 BOPD for 2019 and 4,820 BOPD for 2020.

    As the exact timing of operations and expected production/offtakes becomes clearer the Company will provide updated information by Press Release.

    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, and
    • 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.
