Tethys Petroleum Limited has announced that it has signed a legally binding amendment (the Facility Agreement Amendment) to the US$15 million convertible debt facility entered into on 19 November 2015 with Olisol Investments Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Olisol Petroleum Limited (OPL, together Olisol), setting out amended terms to the Interim Facility and consequential changes to the transaction documentation between the companies.
Key terms of the facility agreement amendment
Once certain conditions precedent are satisfied, which are expected in the near future, the previously announced initial changes to the board of directors of the company (Board) will come into effect.
Upon successful first draw down of the Kazakh Loan and conversion of the circa US$6.25 million under the Interim Facility into equity, the Board will be comprised of the following five directors.
John Bell, Executive Chairman commented:
"Tethys now has a strong in-country strategic partner which has committed to becoming a minority shareholder and who will help the company in its objective to supply the growing energy demand in China. I will shortly step down as Executive Chairman, into a non-executive co-Chairman role. Upon completion of the transactions under the Facility Amendment Agreement, David Henderson, David Roberts, Jim Rawls and myself will all step down from the Board. During our tenure we have reduced G&A from US$19.5 million in 2014 to US$9.5million in 2015 and to a target of US$6 million on an annualised basis. We have closed seven offices, achieved certain vital Exploration & Production licence extensions, as well as overseen an increase in production. We leave the Board having steered Tethys into a company focused on capital efficiency and cost discipline, well placed to become a strong platform for future growth."
