12 January 2022
ECO (ATLANTIC) OIL & GAS LTD.
("Eco," "Eco Atlantic," "Company," or together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group")
Exercise of Options
Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. (AIM: ECO, TSX-V: EOG), the oil and gas
exploration company focused on the offshore Atlantic Margins, announces that,
on 12 January 2022, six directors of the Company and one senior manager
elected to exercise 4,450,000 options over common shares of no par value
("Common Shares") which were due to expire at midnight on 12 January 2022, at
an exercise price of CAD $0.30 (the "Options Exercise"), as detailed in the
PDMR Notifications below.
In order to effect a cashless exercise, as permitted under the Company's Stock
Option Plan, and minimise dilution to shareholders, the Board has agreed to
issue, in aggregate, 1,599,999 common shares in lieu of the 4,450,000 options
exercised, based on the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the
TSXV on 11 January 2022 of CAD0.45.
Pursuant to the Options Exercise, application has been made for admission of
1,599,999 new Common Shares, which will rank pari passu with existing Common
Shares, to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will
become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 18 January 2022.
Following Admission, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will be
201,493,635 Common Shares. The above figure may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
share capital of the Company.
