Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
(“Falcon” or the “Company”)
Falcon Announces Shareholder Approval of Transaction with Tamboran
12 March 2026 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to
announce that the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares of the Company
(“Shares”) voted to approve Falcon’s previously announced transaction
(the “Transaction”) with Tamboran Resources Corporation (“Tamboran”).
The Transaction was approved by approximately 99.76% of votes cast by
Shareholders at a special meeting (the “Meeting”) held on 11 March 2026 to
consider the Transaction.
The Transaction required the approval of: (i) at least two thirds (66.67%) of
the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote at the Meeting; and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast by
Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Meeting, excluding votes cast in respect of Shares beneficially owned or over
which control or direction is exercised by any persons whose votes must be
excluded in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
The matter voted upon at the Meeting and the detailed results were as follows:
Special Resolution: the full text of which is set forth in Appendix “A” to the management information circular of the Company dated 4 February 2026 (the “Circular”), approving, among other things, a plan of arrangement involving the Company, Tamboran Resources Corporation, Tamboran (Beetaloo) Pty Ltd and Tamboran Resources Investments Holding Corporation
Outcome of Vote For Against
By Shareholders Approved 456,192,006 (99.76%) 1,110,498 (0.24%)
By Shareholders (excluding votes attached to the Shares required to be excluded for the purposes of “minority approval” under MI 61-101). Approved 452,478,310 (99.75%) 1,110,498 (0.25%)
There were 457,302,504 Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting
or approximately 41% of the 1,109,141,512 Shares issued and outstanding on 26
January 2026, being the record date for the Meeting.
The completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of terms and
conditions, including without limitation: (a) approval of the plan of
arrangement by the Supreme Court of British Columbia; (b) approval and
authorization for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the Tamboran
common stock to be issued in the Transaction; (c) the absence of any law or
order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction; (d) there being no
material adverse changes in respect of Falcon or Tamboran; and (e) other
standard conditions of closing for a transaction of this nature. There can be
no assurance that all of the necessary approvals will be obtained or that all
conditions of closing will be satisfied.
As previously announced, closing of the Transaction is expected be completed
on or about 16 March 2026. If the Transaction is completed on 16 March 2026,
trading of the Shares on AIM would be suspended at 7:30 a.m. (UK time) on 17
March 2026 and the admission of the Shares to trading on AIM would be
cancelled effective at 7:00 a.m. (UK time) on 18 March 2026. However, as noted
above, the timing for completion of the Transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of all conditions, and there can be no guarantee that this will
occur on 16 March 2026. Further announcements will follow in due course.
Further to the Company’s disclosure in the Circular, the Company determined
that Philip O’Quigley, Chief Executive Officer, and Anne Flynn, Chief
Financial Officer, each a related party (as defined in MI 61-101) of Falcon
(collectively, the “Officers”), each beneficially owned or exercised
control or direction over greater than one percent of the total Shares,
assuming the exercise of their respective stock options, at the time the
definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction was entered into. An
independent committee of the board of directors of Falcon did not determine
that the value of the benefits that the Officers are each expected to receive
as a consequence of the Transaction, net of any offsetting costs, was less
than five percent of the value of the consideration they were each expected to
be entitled to receive under the Transaction in exchange for the securities of
the Company they beneficially owned. As a result, the Officers’ votes in
respect of the Shares they beneficially owned or over which they exercised
control or direction were excluded from the vote for purposes of the minority
shareholder sought pursuant to MI 61-101 at the Meeting.
