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.

(the "PVE Acquisition"; collectively the "Acquisitions") occurred today, December 9, 2016.  Upon routine registration with the Province of Sergipe Commercial Board, which is expected within 10 working days, all escrow conditions will be released and closing completed at which time Maha (through its subsidiary), will become operator of the Tartaruga Field.

Upon closing of the UPP and PVE Acquisitions, Maha will have a 67.5% working interest in the Tartaruga field which is currently producing approximately (gross) 230 bbls/d.   The remaining 7.5% working interest in the Tartaruga Field owned by TDC Engineering Inc.

As earlier announced, in anticipation of these closings, the Company has been planning for a workover of the SES 107 well on the Tartaruga field. Upon release from escrow, the Company will commence securing equipment and services for the workover.  The workover of SES 107 entails the removal of an existing production string and the recompletion of the well with a jet pump similar to the pump currently pumping oil on the adjacent 7-TTG well.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy commented:

"We are very pleased to have finalized closing of our acquisition of the operated working interest in the Tartaruga Field in Brazil.  With this major milestone, we look forward to continued organic growth at both our LAK (Wyoming) and Tartaruga (Brazil) projects as well as though future accretive acquisitions taking advantage of the current low oil commodity cycle.  We will now proceed with the previously announced planned workover of the previously producing SES 107 well, which is scheduled to start in January, subject to services availability."

Brazil Acquisitions

On March 10, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with a private, Texas based company, which has a 37.5% working interest in the Tartaruga development block, located in the Sergipe Alagoas Basin of Brazil and is the designated operator of the block.  The acquisition is subject to the approval of the Brazilian Government and the Brazilian National Oil Agency ("ANP").  The Company has paid a refundable deposit in the amount of US$ 500,000.

On January 18, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Petro Vista Energy Corp whereby the Company will acquire an additional non-operated 37.5% working interest in the Tartaruga development block.  The acquisition price of CAD $2.5 million will be paid in equal installments with the first payment upon successful approval of the transaction by the Brazilian Government and ANP and the second payment by December 2016.  Maha has also entered into a loan agreement with Petro Vista Energy Corp whereby funds were provided for Petro Vista to resolve outstanding joint interest billings for up to $815,500.  $750,000 of the loan will form part of the acquisition purchase price in the event of closing while the remaining amount will be deducted from the first installment.

Upon closing of the two acquisitions, the Company would be the operator and hold a 75% working interest in the Tartaruga Block.

Executive Team

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Tom Walker, P.Eng. as the Company's Chief Operating Officer.  Mr. Walker brings to the Company an impressive background of artificial lift and heavy oil experience.  Tom received his degree in Petroleum Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 1989. Tom started in the industry with ARCO Alaska Inc. followed by Occidental Petroleum in 2000, until 2008.  At Occidental, Tom worked in several senior positions in California, Qatar and later Oman where he led a major steam assisted heavy oil development.  Since 2008 Tom has worked on projects in Colorado, Wyoming North Dakota, Montana and Utah.

Mr. Walker's extensive experience in artificial lift technologies, water floods and other enhanced oil recovery technologies will be a significant asset to the Company.  Tom is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the States of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, California, North Dakota and Alaska.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy commented:

"We are thrilled to have Tom join our executive team. His international background and extensive experience in enhanced oil recovery technologies will serve the Company well and enhance the skill set of our technically driven team.

Tom will replace Dan Thompson who is stepping down to focus on his retirement.  We are very grateful to Dan for his spirited guidance and his service to the Company.  Dan will continue on as an advisor to the Board and management of Maha (and a significant shareholder) so that we can continue to tap into Dan's 45+ years of industry experience.

Thanks very much Dan – and good luck in your retirement."

Results of operations

Canadian Assets

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company generated revenue of $180,304 on an average sales volume of 32 boepd compared with $559,273 of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from an average of 62 boepd.  Lower production volumes were a result of lower field activity due to a change in operatorship and lower oil prices.

The crude oil produced from the Manitou and Marwayne areas is 12° API.  The Canadian Assets produced a total of 8,808 barrels net to Maha in the first nine months of 2016. The average price received was CAD $26.96

Operating costs associated with the Canadian Assets were $149,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with $312,517 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2015. Lower operating costs in 2016 were due to lower field activity.

In July 2016, the operator of the Canadian Assets, which had been in receivership since February 2015, was purchased by a Canadian Company.  The new operator has indicated that field activity will increase during the second half of 2016 as they seek to increase production from existing wells by way of workovers.

LAK Ranch

As at September 30, 2016, the LAK Ranch asset is considered to be in the pre-production stage and is currently undergoing delineation and pre-development work.  As such, operating costs net of revenues since the commencement of operations have been capitalized as part of the exploration and evaluation costs.

The LAK field was shut in starting April 2016 and remained shut in until August 2016, primarily due to low oil prices and the requirement for reservoir pressure maintenance. During the shut-in period, the Company commenced the capital investment to allow for produced water recycling, which is critical for handling of produced water and re-injection of water for pressure maintenance.  The project was completed in August and production from a limited number of wells was re-established by the end of August 2016.

Technical work completed during 2015 has now laid the groundwork for the full field development plan. The full field development plan contemplates hot water injection, rather than steam playing a more significant role than originally anticipated. The extra cost of hot water injector wells are far offset by the elimination of steam requirements. The field development plan was evaluated by the Company's
independent reserve auditors, and the Company reserves for LAK Field at the end of November 2015 were 12.9 million barrels of oil (Proven and Probable (2P)).

General and administrative

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, general and administrative ("G&A") costs were $1,187,485 compared to $999,992 for the same period September 30, 2015.

Transaction costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred $435,972 in transaction costs which primarily related to marketing fees associated with the listing on Nasdaq First North and professional fees associated with the Brazil acquisition.

Stock-based compensation

Stock based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $115,171 similar to $118,493 for the comparable period September 30, 2015.

Maha Energy AB: Undertakes a private placement of 484,212 new shares

Maha Energy AB undertakes a private placement of 484,212 new shares

The board of directors of Maha Energy AB (the "Company" or "Maha") has resolved to issue 484,212 new shares of class A (the "New Shares") at the fixed subscription price of SEK 10.25 per new share of class A (i.e. in total SEK 4,963,172).

The board of directors adopted the issue resolution with support from an authorization granted at an extraordinary general meeting. The subscription price has been determined based on the market price for the Company's shares during a certain period of time prior to the issue resolution and the board of directors deems the subscription price to be on market terms.

All new shares have been subscribed for by Rothesay Ltd. who was part of the Guarantee Consortium in the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of the Company carried out earlier this year.  According to this Guarantor, due to an administrative error, 484,212 shares subscribed for in the IPO were sold in the market contrary to certain transfer restrictions ("Lock-up Restrictions") which all Guarantors undertook to be bound by.

In resolution to the Lock Up Restriction irregularities identified above, this Guarantor has agreed to subscribe for a corresponding number of shares at today's market value which is both, considerably higher than the subscription price in the initial public offering and (based on the trading analysis by the Company) considerably higher than the price at which these shares were sold in the market earlier in the year. The New Shares issued will be bound by the same Lock Up Restrictions until 29 January 2017.

The registered share capital of the Company as of today is SEK 799,384 and the total number of shares is 72,671,309 (55,937,987 A-shares, 12,140,795 B-shares and 4,592,527 C-shares (1,844,527 C1 and 2,748,000 C2)). In addition, there are 6,204,963 outstanding warrants (the price for subscription of new A-shares through exercise of warrants is SEK 6.40 and subscription may take place up to and including 15 January 2018). The dilutive effects on the share capital as a result of the private placement will only be minor.

Pressmeddelande

Stockholm

Detta pressmeddelande får inte offentliggöras, publiceras eller distribueras, direkt eller indirekt, i Australien, Hong Kong, Japan, Kanada, Nya Zeeland, Schweiz, Singapore, Sydafrika eller USA eller i någon annan jurisdiktion där distributionen av detta pressmeddelande skulle vara olaglig. Se även avsnittet VIKTIGT MEDDELANDE nedan.

Maha Energy AB inbjuder till informations träff samt operativ företags uppdatering

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Bolaget" eller "Maha") kommer att hålla en informationsträff den 13 oktober i Stockholm där man kommer att ge en operativ uppdatering om Bolagets aktiviteter. Informationsträffen kommer även att sändas "live" via webben.

Årlig Informations träff för aktieägare

Bolaget vill bjuda in aktieägare samt intresserade individer till en presentation av Bolagets aktiviteter som följs av en informell reception av Bolagets styrelse och ledning.  Träffen kommer att hållas i "T-Huset", på Engelbrektsplan 1, 114 34 Stockholm.   Jonas Lindvall, Bolagets VD kommer att hålla en webb-sänd presentation om Bolagets aktuella aktiviteter som kommer att följas av ett par ord från Maha's Ordförande, Herr Wayne Thomson.  Styrelsemedlemmar och delar av Bolagets ledning kommer att vara på plats för att svara på eventuella frågor efter presentationen.  Deltagare ombeds att registrera sin närvaro via Bolagets hemsida, www.mahaenergy.ca.

Operativ Uppdatering

Kanada (Marwayne och Manitou tillgångarna)

En ny Operatör tillsattes de Kanadensiska tillgångarna i juli i år efter en längre konkurs process.  Den nya Operatören, Petrocapita Energy, är i full färd med att avsluta sitt tekniska arbete över tillgångarna som förvärvats från konkurs förvaltaren av Palliser Oil and Gas (Palliser).  Ett initialt möte hölls med Petrocapita den 13 september för att diskutera eventuella utvecklings planer över de delade tillgångarna. Maha äger 50% intresse i Manitou och 30% intresse i Marwayne tillgångarna efter ett förvärv som gjordes i juli 2014 från Palliser Oil and Gas.  Palliser sattes i konkurs förvaltning i februari 2015.

Wyoming (LAK Ranch)

I slutet av 2015 avslutades en rad studier som förknippade resultat från fält-studier, kärn-prover samt data simulering som indikerar reservoaren i LAK Ranch svarar positivt på en varm-vatten injicerings process (sk "Hot Water Flood"). Injicering av hett vatten i reservoaren resulterar i ett positivt tryck underhåll samt att oljans viskositet sänks av värmen.  För att dra fördel av olje-prisets ut-bottning tidigare i år, så initierade Bolaget ett produktions uppehåll i början av april för att modifiera produktions anläggning till att kunna påbörja varm vatten injicerings processen.  Under uppehållet så åtog sig Bolaget ett kapital program som nu skapat kapacitet i anläggningen att behandla och återvinna producerat vatten som är av ytterst vikt för att kunna bibehålla trycket i reservoaren under den framtida utvecklingen av fältet.  Utfört arbete bestod av:

  • Inköp samt installation av två stycken 750 fat vinter isolerade gas uppvärmda vatten bevarings tankar som laddar, under högt tryck, varm vatten injicerings pumpen.
  • Installation och isolering av en 3 tums vatten ledning från tank batteriet till laddnings tankarna.
  • Uppgradering av vatten behandlings anläggningen för att kunna återanvända producerat vatten.
  • Fabrikation och installation av kemikalie-injicerings anläggning som behandlar injicerings vatten för borttagning av syre samt alkalisk tillsättning.
  • Projektet, som i stort sett står klart, kommer att behandla Bolagets hela vatten produktion för återanvändning som i sin tur reducerar de operativa kostnaderna för att värma och bibehålla trycket i reservoaren.  Vatten injiceringen kommer att påbörjas i liten skala i början av oktober, 2016.  I förväntan på varm vatten injiceringen så har Bolaget redan återupptagit produktionen genom att starta 4 produktions brunnar, och fler brunnar kommer att startas allt efter som vatten injiceringen ökar.  Samtidigt som reservoaren laddas med varmt vatten så fortsätter Bolaget med att färdigställa planerna för utvecklingen av Fas 3 som innebär ytterligare borrningar av produktions hål samt injicerings hål.

    Maha's tekniska team fortsätter att optimera LAK Ranch fullständiga utvecklings plan.  Resultaten av varm vatten injiceringen  kommer att inkluderas i den fullständiga utvecklings planen.

    Brasilien (Tartaruga fältet)

    Ansökan om ändring av moderbolag för Operatören av Tartaruga fältet lämnades in till Agencia Nacional de Petroleo (ANP) den 7 juli, 2016.  När ansökan godkänts av de Brasilianska myndigheterna så kommer affären angående 75% arbets-intresse samt Operatörskapet i Tartaruga fältet slutföras.  Ledningen övervakar processen angående godkännandet mycket nära genom Bolagets representant i Brasilien, som meddelar att processen framskrider enligt förväntan.

    Operativa möten hölls i Aracaju, Brasilien, mellan den 1a och 9e september för att påbörja detaljerade planer omkring ökning av produktionen så snart affären slutförts.  Planerna inkluderar en snabb workover där produktions-röret på en låg-producerande olje-brunn byts ut mot en pump.  Allt material för denna workover finns redan på Tartaruga fältet, så det förväntas inga förseningar på grund av material med lång ledtid.  Maha kommer också att börja planerings-arbete för ett horisontalt sidetrack där ett produktions hål återinträds och borras om till ett horisontalt produktions hål.  Alla hittills borrade hål på Tartaruga har borrats i låg vinkel och ett horisontalt hål förväntas att öka produktionen väsentligt.

    Maha's team har också haft positiva möten med Petrobras i Aracaju samt ANP i Rio de Janeiro där framtida arbetsprogram och samarbete diskuterades.

    At the end of 2015, a series of combined field studies, core analysis and computer modelling demonstrated the positive viability of combined reservoir pressure maintenance and viscosity reduction using hot water.  Taking advantage of the bottoming out of the oil commodity market, the LAK field was shut in at the beginning of April 2016 to undergo an expansive retrofit to convert the field from steam injection to water reinjection.  During the shut-in period, the Company undertook a capital program to create capacity for produced water recycling which is critical for the re-injection of hot water and the pressure maintenance in Phase 3 of the overall field development. This capital work included:

  • Purchasing and commissioning of two completely refurbished heated and insulated 750 bbl each water tanks to provide hot purge water for the high pressure water injection pump.
  • Installation of a 3" hot water re-circulation line from the tank battery to the purge tanks.
  • Upgrading of the water treatment facilities to enable re-circulation of produced water.
  • Fabrication and installation of alkaline and de-oxygenation skids.
  • This project, which is substantially complete, will allow for the complete treating and re-cycling of all of the Company's produced water which in turn streamlines and significantly reduces the operating cost of heating and pressure maintenance of the reservoir.  Commencement of water reinjection is scheduled for the first of October 2016.  In anticipation of the hot water pressure maintenance program, 4 wells have been placed back on production and as the project is rolled out, more wells will be brought back on production.  Simultaneous to recharging the reservoir, Maha continues to plan to begin the Phase 3 development which will include the drilling of production wells with associated hot water injection wells.

    Maha's US technical team continues to put the finishing touches to the LAK Ranch Full Field Development Plan the finalization of which will be refined based on the results of the current hot water flood program.

    Brazil  (Tartaruga Field)

    The applications to the Agencia Nacional de Petroleo ("ANP") of the Brazilian Government, necessary to approve the change of parent of the Operator of the Tartaruga Field to Maha, were filed on 7th July 2016. Upon this approval, closing under the relevant agreements of Maha's acquisition of a 75% working interest in and operatorship of the Tartaruga Field will commence. Management continues to closely monitor this approval process through its legal counsel in Brazil who have advised it is proceeding normally.

    During the week of September 1st- 9th 2016, Maha's technical team travelled to Aracaju, Brazil for technical meetings with the operator and to commence planning of operations to be commenced immediately upon the above ANP approval and closing. These planned operations will include the workover and recompletion of an existing low production well.  All surface equipment and the proposed production string are on site, with no long lead items required for the proposed workover.  Maha will also commence planning and preparation for the drilling of a horizontal sidetrack whereby an existing production well will be re-entered.  All production wells drilled on Tartaruga hereto have been near vertical and a horizontal well is expected to substantially enhance production from the field.

    The team also attended successful meetings with Petrobras in Aracaju and ANP in Rio de Janeiro, where the future operations were discussed.

A full description of the class A and convertible class B and C shares can be found in note 10 to the second quarter and half year report ending June 30, 2016.

    Brazil Acquisitions

    On March 10, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with a private, Texas based company, which has a 37.5% working interest in the Tartaruga development block, located in the Sergipe Alagoas Basin of Brazil and is the designated operator of the block.  The acquisition is subject to the approval of the Brazilian Government and the Brazilian National Oil Agency ("ANP").  The Company has paid a refundable deposit in the amount of US$ 500,000.

    On January 18, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Petro Vista Energy Corp whereby the Company will acquire an additional non-operated 37.5% working interest in the Tartaruga development block.  The acquisition price of CAD $2.5 million will be paid in equal installments with the first payment upon successful approval of the transaction by the Brazilian Government and ANP and the second payment by December 2016.  Maha has also entered into a loan agreement with Petro Vista Energy Corp whereby funds were provided for Petro Vista to resolve outstanding joint interest billings for up to $815,500.  $750,000 of the loan will form part of the acquisition purchase price in the event of closing while the remaining amount will be deducted from the first installment.

    Upon closing of the two acquisitions, the Company would be the operator and hold a 75% working interest in the Tartaruga Block.  Management has commenced the approval process and believes that the process could be completed during the second half of 2016.

    Results of operations Operations

    Canadian Assets

    For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company generated revenue of $103,085 on an average sales volume of 36 boepd compared with $413,685 of revenue during the six months ended June 2015 from an average of 65 boepd.  Lower production volumes were a result of lower field activity as the operator was in receivership.

    The crude oil produced from the Manitou and Marwayne areas is 12° API.  The Canadian Assets produced a total of 6,119 barrels net to Maha in the first six months of 2016. The average price received was CAD $26.15.

    Operating costs associated with the Canadian Assets were $65,435 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $202,188 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2015. Lower operating costs in 2016 were due to lower field activity and reduced workover costs.

    In July 2016, the operator of the Canadian Assets, which had been in receivership since February 2015, was purchased by a Canadian Company.  The new operator has indicated that field activity will increase during the second half of 2016 as they seek to increase production from existing wells by way of workovers.

    LAK Ranch

    As at June 30, 2016, the LAK Ranch asset is considered to be in the pre-production stage and is currently undergoing delineation and pre-development work.  As such, operating costs net of revenues since the commencement of operations have been capitalized as part of the exploration and evaluation costs.

    The LAK field was shut in starting April 2016 and remained shut in as of June 30, 2016, primarily due to low oil prices and the requirement for reservoir pressure maintenance. During the shut-in period, the Company commenced the capital investment to allow for produced water recycling, which is critical for handling of produced water and re-injection of water for pressure maintenance.  The project was completed in August and production from a limited number of wells was re-established by the end of August 2016.

    Technical work completed during 2015 has now laid the groundwork for the full field development plan. The full field development plan contemplates hot water injection, rather than steam playing a more significant role than originally anticipated. The extra cost of hot water injector wells are far offset by the elimination of steam requirements. The field development plan was evaluated by the Company's
    independent reserve auditors, and the Company reserves for LAK Field at the end of November 2015 were 12.9 million barrels of oil ((Proven and Probable (2P)).

    General and administrative

    During the six months ended June 30, 2016, general and administrative ("G&A") costs were $682,090 compared to $681,916 for the same period June 30, 2015.

    Transaction costs

    During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred $435,972 in transaction costs which primarily related to:

    • $350,673 marketing and non-direct costs associated with the Offering and the listing on Nasdaq First North Stockholm;
    • $86,298 in legal and transaction costs associated with the Brazil acquisitions

    Stock-based compensation

    Stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $87,384 similar to $65,120 for the comparable period June 30, 2015.

    Maha Energy AB announces update on the final outcome of its initial public offering

    Maha Energy AB (the "Company" or "Maha") today announces the receipt of the final payment of SEK 15.2 million from its cornerstone investor with the expecting closing on or before 10th August, 2016.

    The Offering

    The Company expects a Final Closing of its initial public offering of units in the form of new shares of class A and warrants giving right to subscribe for new shares of class A (the "Offering") in connection with a listing on Nasdaq First North Stockholm.

    The Offering was carried out in order to broaden the shareholder base and provide working capital, mainly to finance development operations and acquisitions. The subscription price was set at SEK 19 per unit (each unit consisting of four (4) new shares of class A and one (1) warrant giving right to subscribe for one (1) new share of class A). Nothing is to be paid for the warrants and the subscription price per share was thus SEK 4.75.

    Final Closing

    The final payment of SEK 15.2 million has been received by the Company from its cornerstone investor, Kvalitena AB. The Final Closing will occur on or before 10th August, 2016 (the "Final Closing").  The Company expects to issue 818,917(1) as part of the Final Closing.  In total, including the initial closing (July 26, 2016) and the Final Closing, the Company has now received SEK 107.7 million of subscription proceeds to date and will issue up to a maximum of 6,198,074 units.
      (1)There remains approximately SEK 316,000 unpaid (one guarantor of SEK 250,000 and SEK 66,000 from retail investors) which are expected to be received prior to Final Closing.

    Capital Structure

    On Final Closing and registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the share capital will increase with SEK 36,032 from SEK 761,162 to SEK 797,194 and the number of shares will increase from 69,196,585 to 72,472,253. Each of the maximum warrants 6,198,074 issued may be exercised for subscription of one (1) new share of class A and may thus entail an additional increase of the share capital and number of shares (if exercised).

    Company Ownership

    Upon registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office following the Final Closing, the Company's major shareholders will be as follows:

    Following Final Closing
