ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Purchase and Sale Agreement

 

On June 30, 2016, Samson Oil and Gas USA, Inc. (“Samson USA”), a subsidiary of Samson Oil & Gas Limited (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with APEG Energy, LP, an affiliate of Angelus Private Equity Group (the “Purchaser”), for the sale of 100% of Samson USA’s interest in its North Stockyard Project in North Dakota. The purchase price for the assets being sold is $15 million, subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement. A deposit of $1 million was paid to Samson USA upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, with the balance of the purchase price to be paid at closing, which is expected to occur on August 31, 2016. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Samson USA and Purchaser, including the right of either party to terminate (i) if the closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2016 (the “Termination Date”), and (ii) if the aggregate reduction to the purchase price as a result of environmental and title defects exceeds 20% of the purchase price. If Samson USA terminates the Purchase Agreement on or after the Termination Date because Purchaser failed to satisfy conditions to closing and Purchaser does not otherwise have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement, then Samson USA may elect (a) to retain the deposit as its exclusive remedy or (b) to seek damages or specific performance from Purchaser. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any other reason, Samson USA is obligated to return the deposit to Purchaser.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated in this Report by reference.

 

Modification of Credit Agreement

 

Also on June 30, 2016, the Company’s primary lender, Mutual of Omaha Bank, agreed to extend the deadline by which the Company is obligated to pay down at least $10 million of the outstanding balance under its credit facility from June 30, 2016 to August 31, 2016. Samson intends to pay down $11.5 million of the outstanding balance of the credit facility upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement.
