Loan for Tunisian Development

May 26, 2021

ZENITH ENERGY LTD.

("Zenith" or the "Company")

Loan for Tunisian Development

Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA), the listed international oil & gas production company focused on pursuing African development opportunities, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a loan agreement with Winance, a Dubai registered single-family office (the “Lender”), for a total amount of EUR 2.1 million (approximately £1.8 million or approximately NOK 21.4 million) (the “Loan Agreement”).

Terms

The Loan Agreement has a duration of six months and does not attract interest.

An upfront arrangement fee, equal to 5 percent of the total drawdown amount, has been paid to the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

During each month prior to the maturity date, Zenith shall make repayments in accordance with the Loan Agreement (“Instalments”), with the first Instalment being payable during the month of July 2021.

100,000,000 new common shares of no par value (the “Reserve Shares”) have been issued to the Lender to be held in a depositary institution designated by the Lender.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Zenith may elect to pay each Instalment either by cash or by utilising the Reserve Shares, by delivering to the Lender an amount of Reserves Shares equivalent to the quotient obtained by dividing the Instalment Amount by 95 percent of the applicable VWAP (volume weighted average price) for the period of ten business days prior to the due date for each Instalment.

New Common Shares held in Treasury

The Company has issued a total of 8,400,000 new common shares at a price of NOK 0.10 (equivalent to approximately £0.085) to be held in Treasury (the “Treasury Shares”).

An application for the Treasury Shares and Reserve Shares to be listed on the standard segment of the FCA Official List and to be admitted for trading on the London Stock Exchange Main Market for listed securities will be made within 12 months of the issue date.


Total Voting Rights

The Company wishes to announce, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and section 3.10 of the Euronext Growth Oslo Rule Book Part II, the following revised information resulting from the issuance of the Reserve Shares and the Treasury Shares.


Class of share
Total number of shares
Number of voting rights per share
Total number of voting rights per class of share

Common Shares in issue and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange 313,400,824 1 313,400,824
Common Shares in issue and admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Market of the Oslo BĂžrs - representing the total outstanding common share capital of the Company 1,377,289,331 1 1,377,289,331

The above figure for total number of common shares may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer of Zenith, commented:

“We are very pleased to have concluded our first financing agreement with Winance. This is fruit of the considerable effort made by Zenith’s management team in developing our funding strategy with emphasis towards Arab and Middle Eastern financial markets.

The Company will use the funds obtained from the Loan to commence its near-term operational objectives in Tunisia, as well as providing additional capital for potential acquisitions that the Company may seek to complete. We shall update the market in due course regarding our operational programme in Tunisia.
In view of the confidence of the Company’s management in the value creation potential of our possible near-term progress, Zenith shall seek to minimise the use of the Reserve Shares to fulfil the obligations arising from the Loan, and instead maximise the use of the Company’s financial resources generated from oil production.”

Waqas Ibrahim, Director and CFO of Winance, commented:

“We are delighted to collaborate with a proficient and esteemed management team such as that of Zenith Energy. Winance, as a strategic partner, shall seek to support Zenith’s growth aspirations for the foreseeable future by utilising our extensive expertise to innovate and adapt to the evolving funding requirements it may have as it delivers on its ambitious African development campaign.”

NÄ skal jeg ikke falle for fristelsen til Ä komme med grunnlÞs haussing, men tror fÞlgende er nÞkternt: Hvis Zena viser at de klarer Ä igangsette konkrete utviklingsprosjekter pÄ sine lisenser i Tunisia, samt sikrer Tilapia i Congo, kan det godt hende tunisiske myndigheter ombestemmer seg nÄr det gjelder Ä slippe Zenith til pÄ de aller stÞrste oljefeltene. Som kjent er stÞrre aktÞrer pÄ vei ut, og myndighetene jobber hardt for Ä erstatte dem. Da er det plutselig ikke snakk om noen hundre fat her og der. Time will tell...

Hvis Zena leverer de neste ukene, fÄr vi en solid reprising. Kursen var 18 Þre da de meldte at selskapet var den foretrukne «sÞkeren» pÄ Tilapia. Hvis de lykkes med Ä inngÄ en bindende avtale med myndighetene, og dermed sikrer lisensen, bÞr vi hÞyere enn dette. SÄ er det mange andre triggere som er nevnt mange ganger fÞr, og mye av dette kan komme de neste ukene om vi er heldige. Hva kursen er i dag er ikke sÄ viktig, men avslutter vi juni under 20 Þre blir jeg skuffet. Tilapia og en stor lisens i Vest Afrika bÞr sende kursen over 30 Þre, men timingen pÄ sistnevnte er usikker. Jeg har i mine kursmÄl hensyntatt det faktum at selskapet handles med stor rabatt i forhold til «peers». Det vil de nok gjÞre en god stund fremover.

Herman – yes I agree that the figures you have mentioned make it clear that the company should be fully funded not just for the Ezzaouia workovers ($1.2 million) but also for the work at El Bibane ($3.5 million) and Robbana (which at a guess would be another $400k). In total the company has access to almost $9 million from the various warrants, placings and loans.

Obviously some of the money raised has gone on ongoing Tunisian operation costs as well as the purchases prices and covering of Compagnie Du Desert Ltd debt. However, it is clearly perfectly possible that the company could have gone ahead and developed all three of Ezzaouia, El Bibane and Robbana without borrowing funds from Winance at all. Which begs the question: why did they borrow the money?

I think that there are two answers to this:
The first is that: small-cap oil and gas companies can never have access to enough capital until they become cash-positive producers. It is prudent to make sure that there is always some “buffer” capital in the bank for unpredicted events – whether these are cost-overruns in drilling programs or unexpected asset acquisition opportunities. So on the one hand it is just the company being prudent with a loan that has not costed very much to put in place.

The second and more important point is that this could be a very clever piece of forward-thinking credit management by the company. By borrowing and repaying a sum of money that they do not really need over a very short period of time they are building up a credit history with Winance which will allow them to be in a position to borrow more money for other projects in the not-too-distant future. As you suggested, funding for Tilapia would certainly be a good use of this credit line.

This fits in with exactly what Andrea was saying that he wanted to do in the investor conference call and the interview with Stig Myrseth on May 6th 2021 – which is to move the company away from funding operational activities via placings and instead funding them via the bond market. He said in the Stig interview “The intention as published recently in an RNS is clearly to reduce to a minimum (aiming for zero) the issuing of new shares. At the same time there are still a few warrants in circulation that will be triggered at some stage. There is also the fact that all the other mechanisms that we are using are more complicated than a simple equity issues.”

When asked in the Investor conference call of April 9th 2021l “Are you able to indicate when the sale of bonds can become a major source of financing for Zenith? He replied with the following statement “ As soon as possible, but it is a process. We are working in continental Europe rather than the UK to create a form of bonds that can be issued cheaply and easily by a lead broker that can replace them with joint brokers and investors. Bonds are a much more complicated entity than equities as they are international rather than just within one country and they are also purchased by investors who don’t want to make a lot of money or lose their stake but they wan t a prudent but secure return.”

The key point of both these answers is that they show a consistent aim to produce a company that is funding operational activities out of debt rather than equity. Obviously the long-term aim is clearly to generate funding via the bond market but this will not be practical until Zenith is clearly showing an annual report (or at least interims) that show there is significant revenue generation from operational activities. So in the short-term, until the company is in a stronger position to sell its own bonds Winance seems to be the perfect opportunity to finance development via debt instead of equity.

It is also important to remember that once we have completed the Ezzaouia work program (and assuming that it is successful) then we will be generating $472,500 per month in net revenue ($35 x 450bopd for 30 days) but if we get Robbana up to 200bopd this would deliver another $210,000 per month ($25 x 200 bopd x 30days) in revenue and a successful well intervention at EBB-3 would deliver a further 500bopd generating $525,000 per month ($35 x 500 x 30). In total this would equate to just over $1 million a month in production profit. This would very easily service a loan of $5 million to cover the costs of drilling Tilapia – meaning that we would no longer have to rely on the timely delivery of the SNPC $5.7 million.

As you say, the company is well funded going forwards not only for the Tunisian production work program but also for the acquisition of new assets. If all goes well with the Tunisan work program then we could well be building up to a future when AC will actually be in a position to deliver on his aim of enabling future growth to be financed on debt instead of equity.

27.05.2021 kl 15:14 4007

I agree with everything you say, but I still dont believe that Zenith will get the 5.7 million in cash. The signing fee for Tilapia is 2 million USD. The rest-in my opinion, will probably be offset against a larger ownership in Tilapia. What do you think about the West Africa deal? Do you think it will happen this summer? They have been positive to a lot of deals, some of which dont materialize of course.

28.05.2021 kl 17:06 3420

Herman – I think that it is inevitable that the signature bonus for Tilapia will come out of the $5.7 million owed by the SNPC and I suspect we will also end up “spending” some more of that money on a new license acquisition in the Congo. However, I do think that we are going to end up with at least $2 million in cash ending up being handed over from the SNPC to Zenith.

Re the West Africa deal – yes, I think that this will happen this summer or earlier. I think that by the middle of summer we will have the Tilapia 2 license, an additional license in Congo and the West Africa deal. I think that the big hint on these (especially the West Africa one) is in the last news release when they said about the E2.1 million that’s: “The Company will use the funds obtained from the Loan to commence its near-term operational objectives in Tunisia, as well as providing additional capital for potential acquisitions that the Company may seek to complete”

In my experience, when Zenith say something like this in a news release then it usually means that a new deal is pretty imminent. Exciting times ahead IMO.
