World Oil Resources Limited - Panel Makes Further Final Orders

The Panel made a further declaration of unacceptable circumstances on 12 April 2013 in relation to an application dated 14 March 2013 by Holdrey Pty Ltd as trustee for the Don Mathieson Family Trust (see TP13/07). This aspect of the application concerned associations between various World Oil shareholders.

The Panel has now made further final orders (Annexure), the effect of which includes:

1. shares in World Oil acquired by Rokeba Nominees Pty Ltd, Templefield Pty Ltd and Bisan Limited that represent in excess of 20% of the total voting power in World Oil (Sale Shares) are to be vested for sale by ASIC
2. until the Sale Shares are sold, the ability of Rokeba, Templefield and Bisan to vote additional shares in which they have voting power is scaled back. This is so that the associated parties' voting power does not exceed 20% of the total votes that may be cast after the application of these orders
3. limitations on the associated parties relying on the "creep" exception
4. for the purposes of calculating entitlements to subscribe for new shares under the rights issue announced by World Oil on 12 March 2013, the Sale Shares and the shares excluded from voting must be disregarded and
5. the associated parties must give notice of their substantial holding in World Oil within 2 business days of the date of the orders.

The sitting Panel was David Friedlander (sitting President), Julie McPherson and Tony Osmond.

The Panel will publish its reasons for the decision in due course on the Takeovers website.
