At the extraordinary general meeting held earlier today, CEO Robert Karlsson presented the background for the EGM and the proposals at the EGM. Shelton Petroleum continues to see great potential in the company’s oil assets in Russia and Ukraine. The company doubled its oil production during 2013 and new investments can further increase the production volumes. Shelton Petroleum has identified areas with high growth potential and is continuously evaluating acquisitions.

With this in mind Shelton Petroleum issued two convertible debentures during 2013. The funds from the first debenture have been invested in drillings in Russia with good results. The second debenture, which was conditional upon a specific acquisition, has expired and been repaid.

In December Shelton Petroleum gave notice for an EGM to vote on a share split, a bonus issue and a mandate to issue equity. The notice was given at a time when the company was involved in a dispute. As the dispute has been solved, the Board of Directors chose to no longer recommend the shareholders to resolve on and carry out the share split and bonus issue. The Board of Directors however considered that it was important that the shareholders themselves decide on the proposals and therefore chose not to withdraw the proposals. At the EGM today, the shareholders resolved not to carry out a share split or a bonus issue.

However, the Board of Directors still considers that an authorization to issue equity to be of value for the company and the shareholders. The authorization is deemed important as it provides tools to act quickly to capitalize on business opportunities such as acquisitions and investments. At the EGM today the shareholders resolved to give a mandate to the Board of Directors to decide on share issues in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors.

Minutes from the extra general meeting will be available at the company’s website www.sheltonpetroleum.com.
