ASX MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

Tuesday, 14 March 2017 ASX Codes : KBC; KBCPA

COMPOSITION OF BOARD OF MOLOPO ENERGY LIMITED

Keybridge Capital Limited (ASX:KBC) (Keybridge) has served a notice on Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO) (Molopo or Company) requiring Molopo to call a general meeting of shareholders (Meeting) pursuant to the provision of section 249D of the Corporations Act, at which Molopo shareholders will have the opportunity in a fair and transparent manner to determine whether to retain some or all current Board members and/or to appoint three new highly qualified Directors to the Molopo Board.

The three new Directors proposed by Keybridge are:

  • Mr Tony Hartnell AM;

  • Mr David Sanders; and

  • Mr William Johnson.

Details of the qualifications and substantial experience of these Board nominees, which provide a combination of legal skills required to deal with the Canadian litigation and oil and gas experience to deliver shareholder value, is contained in the Annexure to this announcement.

Background

As one of Molopo's largest shareholders (~19.34%), Keybridge has for some time had serious concerns relating to the leadership, management, investment strategy and corporate governance of Molopo.

Given these concerns and, in particular, the refusal of the current Board to either engage in constructive dialogue with its major shareholder or consider fair Board representation for Keybridge, Keybridge feels it has no option but to bring matters to a head.

Keybridge believes the fairest and most transparent manner in which these issues can be resolved is for all current and proposed Board members to be considered for election at one general meeting to let the will of shareholders prevail.

Further details about Keybridge's concerns are contained in Keybridge's full Media Release.

We also note that further details will also be included in a statement to be provided by Keybridge to Molopo which will accompany the General Meeting documents

Shareholder Meeting

Keybridge believes that its concerns are serious matters that require immediate attention and will be addressed by a restructure of the Molopo Board. In this regard, Molopo is now required to prepare a Notice of General Meeting to consider the resolutions proposed by Keybridge.

Keybridge has however suggested in order to save company costs that Molopo merge the Keybridge meeting request with the upcoming AGM of Molopo and that each Molopo Director voluntarily agree to put themselves up for re-election at such meeting. Keybridge awaits Molopo's position on this suggestion.
