At completion, CoEra will own all of Oilex’s direct and indirect interests in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin including: · 79.33% direct interest in two Petroleum Exploration Licences (PEL 112 and PEL 444) (with an option, as previously announced, to acquire the remaining 20.66%); and · right to acquire 27 Petroleum Retention Licences from Senex Limited (Northern Fairway PRLs).

The ASX has confirmed that Listing Rule 11.1.3 does not apply to Doriemus in regard to the proposed acquisition and associated transactions by Doriemus. CoEra and its subsidiaries were acquired by Oilex after 30 June 2019 and accordingly, there was no revenue or earnings attributable to Oilex for the year ended 30 June 2019. As at 31 December 2019, the Cooper-Eromanga Basin assets being disposed of by Oilex had an unaudited carrying value of A$331,000.

In this event, Mr Lingo would also step down as the Chairman of Oilex following the appointment of a new Oilex Chairman.

The independent directors of Oilex are currently conducting a formal process to appoint a new Oilex Chairman. Proposed Doriemus Capital Raising As part of the Proposed Transaction, Doriemus intends to undertake a capital raising at a price expected to be $0.035 per CDI to raise a minimum of $3.5 million and a current proposed maximum of $5 million (Capital Raising). It is proposed, subject to agreeing legalities and structuring mechanics, to include a priority offer to eligible existing Doriemus and Oilex shareholders (being those Doriemus CDI holders or Oilex shareholders (whether through Common Shares or depository interests) with a registered address in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand on the record date, which date is yet to be determined) for up to $1.5 million (“Priority Offer”). At this stage, the Priority Offer is expected to be made under a disclosure document prepared by Doriemus in accordance with Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It is proposed that participants in the Capital Raising will also receive one (1) free option for every three (3) CDIs / shares subscribed for in the Capital Raising. It is further proposed that the options will be exercisable at A$0.08 on or before four years from the date of completion of the Proposed Transaction (Attaching Options). It is currently intended that the Attaching Options will be listed on the ASX by Doriemus, subject to meeting certain ASX listing requirements. Further details of the proposed Capital Raising will be provided in due course. Commenting on the transaction, Managing Director, Joe Salomon, said: "The Board has assessed many options to maximise value for our shareholders and the proposed sale of the Cooper-Eromanga Basin assets to Doriemus ensures that Oilex retains material leverage to the Cooper-Eromanga Basin assets without the associated funding burden and consequential dilution. The decision also reflects Oilex’s dominant European shareholder base and trading volumes on the London AIM. Importantly, it allows the Company to focus on its core assets in India and expand its portfolio in the UKCS which we look forward to progressing. In any event, it is anticipated that eligible Oilex shareholders will also have the opportunity to increase their exposure to the Cooper Basin portfolio via the priority offer in the proposed Doriemus capital raising. We will update shareholders in due course with further details in this regard."

RNS-Historic 23 December 2019 ASX: OEX AIM: OEX East Irish Sea Licence Acquisition The Board of Oilex Limited (the “Company”) is very pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding term sheet with Burgate Exploration and Production Ltd (“Burgate”), to acquire a 100% participating interest in the Doyle-Peel licence (P2447) in the East Irish Sea (EIS), offshore the United Kingdom (“Term Sheet”). In addition, the Company has entered into an exclusivity agreement with Burgate, Comtrack (UK) Ltd, and Simwell Resources Ltd (collectively “BCS”) for the potential acquisition of a 100% participating interest in the Castletown licence (P2076). The EIS licences provide an attractive entry into a proven gas fairway in the centre of the East Irish Sea Basin. Furthermore, the licences are in shallow water near existing infrastructure reducing the complexity, risk and cost of development. The EIS is a prolific basin which has produced around 8 TCF of gas to date with considerable existing gas production, gathering, processing and transportation infrastructure. The depth to the target reservoirs is less than 2,000 metres thus providing modest drilling costs. Project Overview The licenses lie on the west dipping graben edge of the Tynwald Fault Zone on the structural trend with the Rhyl and North Morecambe producing gas fields. Historical production from the primary Triassic Ormskirk reservoirs on this trend show excellent deliverability characteristics. The Ormskirk sandstones were deposited in a continental fluvial regime which became drier and more aeolian (with a higher proportion of dune sands) towards the top. The regional seal is provided by the evaporites and mudstones of the Mercia Mudstone group which attains a thickness in excess of 1,000m across the basin resulting in low seal risk. Gas charge comes from the Carboniferous Coal Measures which underlie much of the basin. A secondary reservoir-seal pair is provided by the Permian Collyhurst sandstone and overlying evaporites.
