Your vote is important

The business of the Meeting affects your shareholding and your vote is important.

Voting eligibility

The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders at 5:00pm (WST) on 16 April 2018.

DI Holders may attend the Meeting but will not be permitted to vote at the Meeting. For their votes to be counted DI Holders must submit their CREST Voting Instruction to the Company's agent by 10am (GMT) on 12 April 2018. Alternatively DI Holders can vote using the enclosed Form of Instruction in accordance with the instructions below.

Voting in person

If you do not wish to attend the meeting, you may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf. A body corporate may also appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder. If a representative of a corporate proxy is to attend the meeting, you must ensure that the appointment of the representative is in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The corporate representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed. A form of the certificate may be obtained from the Company's share registry.

If you are entitled to cast 2 or more votes, you are entitled to appoint up to 2 proxies to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf and may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is entitled to exercise. If you do not specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is entitled to exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional proxy form may be obtained by telephoning the Company's share registry or you may copy the enclosed proxy form. To appoint a second proxy, you must follow the instructions on the proxy form.

Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act took effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

   --             if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and 

-- any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the chairman of the meeting, who must vote the proxies as directed.

If the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on a resolution, the proxy must not vote on that resolution on a show of hands.

To be valid, your proxy form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 10:00am (WST) on 16 April 2018. Any proxy form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

Voting by proxy

United Kingdom (CREST Voting Instruction)

DI Holders in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (CREST Voting Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (3RA50) no later than 10am (GMT) on 12 April 2018. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. DI Holders in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the DI Holder concerned to take (or, if the DI Holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time.

In this connection, DI Holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Form of Instruction

DI Holders are invited to attend the Meeting but are not entitled to vote at the Meeting. In order to have votes cast at the Meeting on their behalf, DI Holders must complete, sign and return the Forms of Instruction sent to them together with this Notice to the Company's agent, Computershare UK, by no later than 10am (GMT) on 12 April 2018.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

   1.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS 

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 together with the Directors' Declaration, the Directors' Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor's Report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website www.88energy.com or on the ASX platform for "88E" www.asx.com.au.

   2.           Resolution 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT 
   2.1         General 

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

   2.2         Voting consequences 

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

   2.3         Previous voting results 

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution has been included for this Annual General Meeting and will be relevant for this Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 5 and Section 6 for further information.

   2.4         Proxy voting restrictions 

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

(4) The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair's intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

   3.           Resolution 2 - RE-ELECTION OF MICHAEL EVANS AS A DIRECTOR 
   3.1         Background 

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director's appointment or 3 year, whichever is the longer.

The Constitution of the Company requires that one third of the Directors in office (other than a Managing Director) must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting of the Company.

Mr Evans, who has served as a Director since 9 April 2014, and was last re-elected on 24 April 2015, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Evans is a highly experienced mining and resource industry executive based in Perth who has extensive executive and board level experience with publicly listed companies in the natural resources sector.

Mr Evans was until April 2012 the founding Executive Chairman of oil explorer and producer FAR Limited, a position he held from 1995. Under Mr Evan's stewardship, FAR established and built up an extensive international oil and gas portfolio spanning Africa, North America and Australia - with industry partners including Amoco, Shell, BHP, BP, Exxon, CNOOC and Woodside. He was responsible for acquiring FAR's entire West African portfolio including the Senegal acreage where significant oil discoveries were made in 2014 by Cairn Energy.

Mr. Evans has a Bachelor of Business Degree from Curtin, is a Chartered Accountant, and holds the following additional qualifications: ACA, AGIA, ACIS. Mr Evans is also currently a director of TNG Limited.

The board considers Mr Evans to be an independent director.

The Board, with Mr Evans abstaining, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

   4.           Resolution 3 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY 
   4.1         General 

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 4.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.

   4.2         ASX Listing Rule 7.1A 

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity's 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

   (a)          is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and 

(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $183,497,529 at 13 March 2018 (calculated by multiplying the number of shares on issue of 5,097,153,582 by the Company's closing share price on 14 March 2018 of $0.036).

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has 1 class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: 88E).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) - E

Where:

   A            is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: 

(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

   (iv)          less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. 
   D            is 10%. 

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

   4.3         Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A 

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:

   (a)          Minimum Price 

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

   (b)          Date of Issue 

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

   (i)            12 months after the date of this Meeting; and 

(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

(10% Placement Capacity Period).

   (c)           Risk of voting dilution 

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue conversion of options or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

   1.          There are currently 5,097,153,582 Shares on issue. 

2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 March 2018.

3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

(i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

   (d)          Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity 

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised to complete the acquisition of additional acreage at Project Icewine (located in North Slope Alaska), for seismic costs, to progress the Company's exploration program at Project Icewine and allow the Company to review and pursue new opportunities that may arise, and for working capital; or

(ii) as non-cash consideration for corporate advisory and capital raising services in relation to funds raised, projects and general working capital. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

   (e)          Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity 

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

   (i)            the purpose of the issue; 

(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

   (iii)          the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; 

(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

   (v)           prevailing market conditions; and 
   (vi)          advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). 

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

   (f)           Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A 

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 9 March 2017 (Previous Approval).

The Company has issued 416,918,042 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 18 April 2017 to 18 April 2018, the Company issued a total of 464,459,650 Shares and nil Options which represents approximately 8.57% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 18 April 2017 which was 5,421,093,835.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.

   (g)          Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A 

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

(i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

   (ii)           the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market. 
   4.4         Voting Exclusion 

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

   5.           Resolution 4 - RE-APPROVAL OF INCENTIVE OPTION SCHEME 
   5.1         Adoption of Scheme 

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder re-approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled "Incentive Option Scheme" (Scheme) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

The Scheme was first approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held 12 February 2015. Shareholders should note that there have been 206,965,301 Options issued under the Scheme since it was first approved in 2015.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised in Section 5.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Scheme to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

The objective of the Scheme is to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and contractors and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Scheme and the future issue of Options under the Scheme will provide selected participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Options under the Scheme to a related party or a person whose relation with the company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Scheme is set out in Schedule 2. In addition, a copy of the Scheme is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Scheme can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

   6.           Resolution 5 - CONDITIONAL SPILL RESOLUTION 

If less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Chair will withdraw Resolution 5.

   6.1         General 

The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution to be put to vote are set out in Section 2.2.

If this resolution is passed and becomes effective, then it will be necessary for the Board to convene a special general meeting of the Company (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the date of this Meeting in order to consider the composition of the Board. If a Spill Meeting is required, the date of the meeting, and a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to shareholders in due course, with details about those persons that will seek election as directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting.

If a Spill Meeting is held, the following directors will automatically vacate office immediately before the conclusion of the Spill Meeting, unless they are willing to stand for re-election and are re-elected at that meeting:

   --     Michael Evans 
   --     Brent Villemarette 
   --     Stephen Staley. 

Even if Mr Evans is re-elected at this Meeting, he will still need to be re-elected at the Spill Meeting to remain in office following the Spill Meeting.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote against this Resolution 5 if it is put to the meeting.

   6.2         Proxy voting restrictions 

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the voting restrictions set out in Section 2.4 apply in the same manner to this Resolution.

Schedule 2 - SUMMARY OF INCENTIVE OPTION SCHEME

The Board has adopted an Incentive Option Scheme to allow eligible participants to be granted Options to acquire Shares in the Company. The principle terms of the Scheme are summarised below.

(a) Eligibility and Grant of Options: The Board may grant Options to any Director, full or part time employee, or casual employee or contractor who falls within ASIC Class Order 14/1000, of the Company or an associated body corporate (Eligible Participant). The Board may also offer Options to a prospective Eligible Participant provided the Offer can only be accepted if they become an Eligible Participant. Options may be granted by the Board at any time.

(b) Consideration: Each Option granted under the Scheme will be granted for nil or no more than nominal cash consideration.

(c) Conversion: Each Option is exercisable into one Share in the Company ranking equally in all respect with the existing issued Shares in the Company.

(d) Exercise Price and Expiry Date: The exercise price and expiry date for Options granted under the Scheme will be determined by the Board prior to the grant of the Options.

(e) Exercise Restrictions: The Options granted under the Scheme may be subject to conditions on exercise as may be fixed by the Directors prior to grant of the Options (Exercise Conditions). Any restrictions imposed by the Directors must be set out in the offer for the Options.

   (f)           Lapsing of Options: An unexercised Option will lapse: 
   (i)            on its Expiry Date; 

(ii) if any Exercise Condition is unable to be met and is not waived, as determined by the Board; or

(iii) subject to certain good leaver exceptions, where the Eligible Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant.

(g) Disposal of Options: Options will not be transferable except to the extent the Scheme or any offer provides otherwise.

(h) Quotation of Options: Options will not be quoted on the ASX, except to the extent provided for by the Scheme or unless an offer provides otherwise.

(i) Trigger Events: The Company may permit Options to be exercised in certain circumstances where there is a change in control of the Company (including by takeover) or entry into a scheme of arrangement.

(j) Disposal of Shares: The Board may, in its discretion, determine that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the Shares issued on exercise of Options, up to a maximum of seven (7) years from the date of grant of the Options.

(k) Participation in Rights Issues and Bonus Issues: There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options.

(l) Reorganisation: The terms upon which Options will be granted will not prevent the Options being re-organised as required by the Listing Rules on the re-organisation of the capital of the Company.

(m) Limitations on Offers: The Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Offer, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Options offered under an Offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous 3 year period under an employee incentive scheme covered by the Class Order or an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Offer.
