Acquisition of Gaelic Resources Ltd and Notice of General Meeting
Reabold is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Gaelic Resources Ltd ("Gaelic") for the issue of 420 million new Ordinary Shares of 0.1p in Reabold ("Consideration Shares"), representing £3,045,000 at the closing price of 0.725p per share on AIM on 12 June 2018 ("Acquisition"). The Acquisition provides Reabold with options to participate in multiple near-term, high-impact oil and gas leases in California, United States (the "Leases").
Stephen Williams, co-CEO commented:
"We are extremely excited to be drilling these high-impact opportunities in California. These considerably de-risked wells with low drilling costs and a fast path to monetisation are a perfect fit with the Reabold strategy.
"Using Reabold shares to fund the acquisition of Gaelic allows us to preserve cash that can be used for drilling activity, which enhances near-term value-creation."
Following completion of the Acquisition, Reabold, through Gaelic, will have the right to earn-in to 50% of the Leases by drilling up to five wells by the end of 2019. Reabold expects three of these wells to be drilled before the end of 2018 with the first two, on the West Brentwood and Monroe Swell Leases, anticipated to be drilled in Q3. In a success case, these wells will be put onto production, providing cashflow for further drilling activity.
The Leases are operated by Integrity Management Solutions (the "Operator"), a California operating company that will direct operational decisions pertaining to the licenses. The five-well drilling programme earns an Operator (non-compliant) estimated NPV of $235m* net to Reabold and is expected to cost Reabold up to approximately $7 million* for the five wells.
The Acquisition is conditional, inter alia, on Reabold convening a General Meeting to seek approval of a Resolution to authorise the issue and allotment of the Consideration Shares. Application will be made in due course for the Consideration Shares, which when issued, will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM.
The vendors of Gaelic, who collectively will hold 12.86 per cent. of Reabold's enlarged issued share capital, have agreed to a lock-in period in respect of 75% of the Consideration Shares of six months from the date of issue and thereafter to orderly market arrangements for a further six months.
