The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders at 4:00pm WST on 28 October 2015.

DI Holders may attend the Meeting but will not be permitted to vote at the Meeting.  For their votes to be counted DI Holders must submit their CREST Voting Instruction to the Company's agent by 4:00pm GMT on 26 October 2015.  Alternatively DI Holders can vote using the enclosed Form of Instruction in accordance with the instructions below.

Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting at the time, date and place set out above.

Voting by proxy

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

·             each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;

·             the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and

·             a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member's votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

·             if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

·             any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

·             the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

·             if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

·             if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

·             if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

·             an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

·             the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

·             at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

·             either of the following applies:

Ø    the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or

Ø    the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

United Kingdom (CREST Voting Instruction)

DI Holders in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual.  CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (CREST Voting Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (Computershare UK) no later than 26 October 2015 at 4:00pm (GMT). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.  DI Holders in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages.  Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions.  It is the responsibility of the DI Holder concerned to take (or, if the DI Holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time.

In this connection, DI Holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Form of Instruction

DI Holders are invited to attend the Meeting but are not entitled to vote at the Meeting.  In order to have votes cast at the Meeting on their behalf, DI Holders must complete, sign and return the Forms of Instruction sent to them together with this Notice to the Company's agent, Computershare UK, by no later than 26 October 2015 at 4:00pm (GMT).

Dated: 23 September 2015

By order of the Board

 

David Wall

Director



EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1.           ResolutionS 1 to 4 - issue of OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS UNDER SCHEME

1.1         General

The Company intends, subject to obtaining the Shareholder approvals sought under Resolutions 1 to 4, to issue a total of 60,000,000 Options to Messrs Michael Evans, David Wall, Stephen Staley and Brent Villemarette (the Related Parties) under the Incentive Option Scheme (Scheme), in the proportions and on the terms and conditions set out below (Related Party Options).

The Related Party Options are being put to shareholders for approval as consideration to Directors in lieu of cash consideration for exceptional efforts against the backdrop of highly challenging external conditions.

The turn-around since October last year, when the Company had little to no cash and no assets, has been remarkable. The acquisition of Project Icewine in November 2014 and then progression to drill the first well in under a year's time from acquisition to spud has been a challenging path and this accomplishment is a testament to both the hard work of the team at 88 Energy as well as the support of our shareholders, for which we remain grateful.

The Company considers that the issue of the Related Party Options is beneficial for 88 Energy shareholders in that it rewards Directors of 88 Energy for recent performance with non-cash consideration, it incentivises the Directors for ongoing performance and it improves the alignment of Directors with 88 Energy shareholders,

The exercise price of the Related Party Options is 2.1 cents, a significant premium to the 88 Energy share price at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The Company recommends that shareholders read the Notice of Meeting in full and cast their proxies as they deem appropriate.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

(a)  obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

(b)          give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The issue of the Related Party Options to each of the Directors requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because:

(a)          the issue of Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit; and

(b)          as Directors, Messrs Michael Evans, David Wall, Stephen Staley and Brent Villemarette are related parties of the Company.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the issue of the Related Party Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

1.2         Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of sections 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Related Party Options to the Directors:

(a)          the Related Parties are Messrs Michael Evans, David Wall, Stephen Staley and Brent Villemarette and they are Related Parties by virtue of being Directors;

(b)          the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties (or their nominee) is:

(i)            8,000,000 Related Party Options to Michael Evans;

(ii)           40,000,000 Related Party Options to David Wall;

(iii)          6,000,000 Related Party Options to Stephen Staley; and

(iv)          6,000,000 Related Party Options to Brent Villemarette;

(c)           the Related Party Options will be granted to the Directors no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;

(d)          the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

(e)          the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1;

(f)           all Directors are entitled to participate in the Scheme; and

(g)          as at the date of this Notice, the following issues have been made under the Scheme since it was approved:

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company recommends that shareholders read the Notice of Meeting in full and cast their proxies as they deem appropriate.

2.           RESOLUTION 5 - ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO CONSULTANT - Mr Erik Opstad

2.1         General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of up to 20,000,000 listed options to the General Manager of Alaskan Operations Mr Erik Opstad (Consultant Options). The issue of the Consultant Options will be subject to satisfaction of the following Milestones:

(a)          5,000,000 listed options will be issued following completion of permitting for the Icewine #1 well by 15th October 2015;

(b)          5,000,000 listed options will be issued following the spud of Icewine #1 well by 15th October 2015;

(c)           5,000,000 listed options will be issued following the safe execution  of the Icewine #1 well with no major Health and Safety Environmental event; and

(d)          5,000,000 listed options will be issued following the plug and abandonment of the Icewine #1 well without major incident.

The Consultant Options are being put to shareholders for approval as consideration to Mr Erik Opstad in lieu of cash consideration for his exceptional work to date in preparing for the spud of the Icewine #1 well, and to incentivise Mr Opstad for the successful drilling of the Icewine #1 well through the Milestones associated with the Consultant Options.

The Company considers that the issue of the Consultant Options are beneficial for 88 Energy shareholders in that it rewards Mr Opstad for recent performance with non-cash consideration, it incentivises Mr Opstad for ongoing performance and it improves the alignment of Mr Opstad with 88 Energy shareholders,

The exercise price of the Consultant Options is 2 cents, a significant premium to the 88 Energy share price at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The Company recommends that shareholders read the Notice of Meeting in full and cast their proxies as they deem appropriate.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to grant the Consultant Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

2.2         Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the grant of the Consultant Options:

(a)          the maximum number of Options to be granted is 20,000,000;

(b)          the Options will be granted progressively (in accordance with the Milestones), but no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

(c)           the Options will be issued for nil cash consideration as part of an incentive package for Mr Erik Opstad;

(d)          the Options will be issued to Mr Erik Opstad, who is not a related party of the Company;

(e)          the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2; and

(f)           no funds will be raised from the grant of the Options as the Options are being issued in as part of an incentive package to Mr Erik Opstad.

The Company recommends that shareholders read the Notice of Meeting in full and cast their proxies as they deem appropriate.

Schedule 2 - TERMS OF OPTIONS (CONSULTANT)

(a)          Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one ordinary fully paid Share in

(d)          The Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the expiry date by notice in writing to the 
directors of the company accompanied by payment of the exercise price.

(e)          The Options are transferable.

(f)           All Shares issued upon exercise of the Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the

each holder of Options at least nine (9) Business Days before the record date referable to that

determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

(h)         If there is a bonus issue to the holders of the underlying securities, the number of securities over 
which the Options are exercisable may be increased by the number of securities which the holder 
of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for 
the bonus issue.

This rule does not apply to Options issued pro rata on the same terms as Options already on issue.

(i)           There is no right to a change in the exercise price of the Options or to the number of Shares over 
which the Options are exercisable in the event of a new issue of capital during the currency of 
the Options.

(j)           In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the company on or prior to the expiry 
date, the rights of an Optionholder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the 
applicable ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation.
