ZENITH ENERGY LTD.
("Zenith" or the "Company")
Issue of CEO Salary Sacrifice Shares and Transfer of Shares
Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; TSX.V:
ZEE) the dual listed international oil & gas production company
operating the largest onshore oilfield in Azerbaijan, is pleased to
announce that Mr. Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company, has today, in accordance with TSX Venture
Exchange ("TSXV") rules, partially swapped his salary for the first
two quarters of the 2018 financial year for the equivalent of
CAD$2,500.00 per month in exchange for common shares in Zenith
("Salary Sacrifice Shares"). Under TSXV rules, the Company may not
issue Salary Sacrifice Shares beyond the value of CAD$2,500.00 each
month, without disinterested shareholder approval.
The Company announced on January 25, 2017 that Mr. Cattaneo had
proposed to the Board of Directors to swap his full salary for the
next twelve months, effective from February 1, 2017 (the "Salary
Proposal"), in exchange for common shares in the Company. Zenith's
Board of Directors agreed to the Salary Proposal subject to the
filing of an application with the TSXV and the receipt of approval
of the Salary Proposal, including how such Salary Sacrifice Shares
would be priced, from the TSXV.
On April 12, 2017, the Company announced that it has been
informed by the TSXV that the Salary Proposal required the approval
of shareholders, and that the Board of Directors proposed to put a
resolution before shareholders at the Company's next AGM to approve
the Salary Proposal, however with a revised start date of the
beginning of the Company's financial year, April 1, 2017. The
resolution proposes that the Salary Sacrifice Shares are issued on
a quarterly basis (with the first batch to include all Salary
Sacrifice Shares accrued since April 1, 2017) at a price that is
the highest between: (i.) the average price at which the Company's
common shares traded during the period, based on the mid-market
closing price on the London Stock Exchange on each trading day,
plus 15 per cent, and (ii.) the discounted market price on the TSXV
at the time the Salary Sacrifice Shares are issued.
As a result, Mr. Cattaneo will receive 111,131 common shares
("New Shares") in the capital of the Company at an average price of
GBP0.0925 (approximately CAD$0.15399) for the period April 1, 2017
until September 30, 2017.
An application will be made for the New Shares to be admitted to
the standard segment of the Financial Conduct Authority Official
List and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the
London Stock Exchange (the "Admission"). An application will also
be made for the New Shares to be listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange. It is expected that Admission will become effective and
unconditional dealings in the New Common Shares will begin on
October 4, 2017.
Transfer of Shares
Mr. Cattaneo has advised the Company that he has today
transferred 920,000 common shares in the capital of the Company to
certain financial advisers as compensation for personal financial
services provided directly to Mr. Cattaneo. This intention was
announced by the Company on September 27, 2017.
Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's issued
share capital will comprise 129,174,277 issued and outstanding
Common Shares with one voting right per share. No shares are held
in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will
therefore be 129,174,277.
As a result of these two transactions, Mr. Cattaneo will be
beneficially interested in a total of 2,838,616 common shares in
the Company, representing 2.20 per cent of the Company's issued
common share capital, as enlarged by the issue of New Shares.
