DENVER, COLORADO and BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND and VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/05/14 -- On 5 August 2014 Strata-X Energy Ltd. ("Strata-X" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SXE)(ASX: SXA) obtained shareholder approval to issue of up to 50 million common shares to unrelated parties under a short form prospectus prepared in Canada. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, approval was obtained to issue the Prospectus Shares no later than 3 months after the date of the EGM. As set out in the Company's announcement on 28 October 2014, the Company filed and received a receipt for its final prospectus under which the Company will issue up to 50 million common shares at an issue price of $0.17 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $8.5 million ("Prospectus Shares").
The directors and management of Strata-X advise that the Company has been granted a waiver from ASX to permit the Company to issue the Prospectus Shares later than 3 months after the date of the shareholders' extraordinary general meeting on 5 August 2014 ("EGM"), on the condition that the Prospectus Shares are issued no later than 12 November 2014 and otherwise on the same conditions as approved by shareholders at the EGM and the Company releases the terms of the waiver to the market immediately.
The original shareholder approval for the issue of up to 50 million Prospectus Shares was sought, and received at the EGM, so that the issue does not count towards the Company's placement limit/s imposed by ASX listing rules 7.1 or 7.1A.
