Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
|
Effective August 31, 2013, Jordan Starkman resigned as President, Treasurer, Secretary and, if any, from all other offices of our company, effective immediately. Mr. Starkman’s resignation was not the result of any disagreements with our company regarding our operations, policies, practices or otherwise. Mr. Starkman remains as one of two directors of our company.
Concurrently with Mr. Starkman’s resignation, Neil Carmichael consented to and was appointed as President, Treasurer and Secretary of our company, effective immediately to fill the vacancy of Mr. Starkman’s resignation.
Neil Carmichael – Director, President, Treasurer and Secretary
Dr. Neil Carmichael, age 59, was appointed as a director of our company on December 18, 2012. Dr. Carmichael holds a Mathematics BSc from University of Edinburgh and a Mathematics PhD from University of Warwick. Dr. Carmichael has over 25 years’ energy sector management experience including international business development, strategy formulation and implementation and procurement accountabilities. From 1980-85, Dr. Carmichael worked in scientific and engineering consultancy, initially with Scicon (part of BP group) on non-linear optimization, then with Intercomp on mathematics for petroleum engineering and reservoir simulators. In 1985, he joined Shell in its reservoir engineering research unit. This was followed by positions in petroleum engineering, field development; followed by management roles in business development, personnel, information technology and procurement. This required working in a range of countries, from Peru to Bangladesh. In 2006 to 2010 he was chief executive officer of Shell Business Development Central Asia, based in Astana, Kazakhstan and responsible for Shell’s new business activities in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Dr. Carmichael was also the Shell representative in Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Since 2010 he has been working on two upstream, exploration focused, startups, one in Ukraine and the other in Pakistan. Dr. Carmichael has most recently held the position of General Manager and Country Representative in Central Asia with Shell Exploration and Production. Dr. Carmichael has a wide range of technical, country and management experiences; mostly focused on oil and gas, much of it applicable in other domains.
Our company believes that Mr. Carmichael’s educational background, and business and operational experience give him the qualifications and skills necessary to serve as President, Treasurer and Secretary of our company. Our board of directors continue to consist of both Mr. Starkman and Mr. Carmichael.
