(TSXV: UHO) United Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. (the
"
Corporation" or "
UHO") would
like to update its shareholders and provide certain supplemental
information with respect to the status of the previously announced
transaction with Bocana Resources Ltd. ("
Bocana"),
whereby UHO and Bocana intend to complete an amalgamation and
continue the business of Bocana under the name “Bocana Resources
Corp” (the “
Resulting Issuer”). Terms not
otherwise defined shall have the same meanings as in the joint
information circular (the "
Circular").
The Meeting
As previously announced, the meeting of the
shareholders of UHO ("UHO Shareholders") is
scheduled to be held on November 4, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (Calgary
time) (the "UHO Meeting"), to approve the
amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") agreed to
pursuant to the amalgamation agreement dated March 26, 2021, as
amended (the "Amalgamation Agreement") between the
Corporation, and Bocana. The deadline for UHO Shareholders to
submit their proxies or voting instructions in order to vote on the
Amalgamation is 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on November 2, 2022.
The Amalgamation Agreement
The Corporation wishes to clarify that the delay
in calling UHO Meeting to consider, among other things, the
Amalgamation was due to completion of the interim and audited
consolidated financial statements for Bocana, as well as delays due
to the obtaining approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“Exchange”), which includes the updated 43-101
report. Notwithstanding the delays in calling the meeting, no
material transaction terms were amended (other than the extension
of the termination deadline) and the board of directors of UHO (the
“Board”), whose members did not change,
unanimously resolved that the Amalgamation was in the best
interests of UHO and its shareholders.
TSXV Approval
On October 6, 2022, the Exchange provided
conditional approval (the “Approval”) of the
Amalgamation and other items described in the Circular, including
the insider debt settlement. The Approval remains subject to a
number of conditions customary for a transaction of this nature,
including shareholder approval.
Background to the Amalgamation
The Board continues to affirm its position on
the Amalgamation and its desire to continue to move forward with it
given the recent history of UHO in trying to raise funds for oil
and gas opportunities. Over the past several years, UHO has worked
on several opportunities for either partnerships or ownership of
fields/projects in both the domestic USA and international arenas,
all of which were rejected for several reasons, including but not
limited to lack of definitive reserves, cash requirements and
environmental risks. The Board looked at several of the most recent
opportunities that were reviewed by management and the reasons why
they were not successful in the lead up to the Amalgamation.
UHO had also explored several joint venture
opportunities with several entities which were ultimately
terminated for various reasons. With the termination of the most
recent agreement, management of both UHO and Bocana started
discussions on a transaction, involved the boards of both
companies, in May of 2020, a description of which can be found on
page 55 of the Circular.
The Board, met quarterly since the initial
letter of intent with Bocana was signed in August of 2020, to
review the terms and conditions of the proposed Amalgamation. The
Board was provided with copies of the various agreements to review
and comment on the same. The Board discussed the Exchange Ratio of
1.6877 UHO common shares ("UHO Shares") for each
share of the Resulting Issuer and determined that such ratio
presented a fair value for UHO based in part on the assets of UHO
and additionally that such ratio would be equivalent to the price
of the financing of subscription receipts proposed under the
Amalgamation. In considering this valuation, the Board considered
and discussed the benefits of the Amalgamation, and in particular
considered: (i) that the UHO Shareholders would receive shares of
the Resulting Issuer which are expected to have greater liquidity
than the UHO Shares previously held; (ii) the prospective, economic
and market conditions affecting the business of UHO; (iii) the
historical information regarding the trading prices of UHO Shares;
and (iv) the combined business which results from the Amalgamation
will have significantly greater financial and business resources
which may provide the combined business with greater prospects for
future growth and increased creditworthiness. In reaching its
conclusion, the Board also had regard for a number of terms of the
Amalgamation, including that the Amalgamation must be approved by
66 2/3% of the votes cast by UHO Shareholders.
Any issues that arose in the discussions, such
as conflicts of interest, were addressed, conflicted parties
abstained from voting on particular conflicted items, and the
desire of the Board’s direction was followed. There were no
contrary views or material disagreements from the Board regarding
the terms of the Amalgamation.
Insider Debt Settlement
As described in the Circular, UHO Shareholders
are being asked to consider the approval of a debt settlement to
Mr. Timothy J. Turner and Mr. Miles Nagamatsu (the
“Insiders”), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, respectively, of the Corporation (the
“Insider Debt Settlement”). The Corporation
confirms to shareholders that the price of the shares proposed to
be issued to the Insiders was ascribed to the debt settlement so
that the price of the UHO Shares to be issued were at a price
equivalent to the transaction price to the Amalgamation, without
any warrants being issued to either Insider. The UHO shares issued
pursuant to the Insider Debt Settlement will be issued prior to the
completion of the Amalgamation and will be subject to the same
Exchange Ratio as other shares of UHO. As described in the
Circular, the Board unanimously approved the Insider Debt
Settlement with both of the Insiders abstaining.
