Nigerian independent Midwestern Oil and Gas, has made an unsolicited bid to acquire the Toronto Listed Mart Resources. The two have thus entered into a letter of intent (LoI), which sets out the intention of the parties, on a non-binding basis, to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, according to a statement by Mart Resources. Pursuant to this agreement, “Midwestern would agree to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mart for cash consideration of CAD(Canadian dollars)$0.80 per common share (the “Proposed Offer Price”) by way of a plan of arrangement”. The Proposed Offer Price represents a 40.3% premium to the closing price and a 28% premium to the 20 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Mart’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on February 27, 2015, the last trading day for Mart’s common shares prior to the date of this announcement”, the statement by Mart Resources notes.

Accordingly, the Definitive Agreement, in the event one is entered into, will provide that Midwestern’s obligation to complete the Proposed Transaction will be subject to the completion of the Proposed Financing (the “Financing Condition”). Midwestern has agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to satisfy the Financing Condition on or prior to June 15, 2015 and to keep Mart informed as to the status and timing of the satisfaction of the Financing Condition.

The Letter of Intent contemplates that the Definitive Agreement will obligate Midwestern to provide evidence satisfactory to Mart that written binding commitments have been entered into with investors in the Proposed Financing on or before May 15, 2015 (the “Commitment Date”). In the event such evidence is not received to the reasonable satisfaction of Mart on or prior to the Commitment Date, Mart (i) shall be permitted to provide due diligence access to certain eligible persons which are to be agreed by Mart and Midwestern equivalent to that which has been provided to Midwestern; and (ii) may adjourn or postpone any meeting of Mart shareholders previously called to approve the Proposed Transaction.
