2 Million non existing shares will vote on 21/9/16

[thg]

How many shareholders reallise that 2 Million + 60,000 votes in the upcoming Exxon Deal vote will be cast by non-share holders?

It seems that the RSU's AND the Options can vote.

This is directly in contrast to the best interests of the shareholders. Why?

Hows this for a scenario:

2 Million RSU's have been granted to IOC management. All thses will vote in favour of the deal, and if the deal passes then the RSU's are immediately converted to IOC shares and then Converted to XOM shares + CRP, and vested to the RSU holder.

This is 2 million incentives for management to vote to simply accept the deal without any impetus to push for a better deal.

Where did these 2 Million RSU's come from? Well the shareholders gifted them to the BOD and the IOC manamgent at the AGM.

Why have there been no Form13D's filed for this batch of 2 million shares? Because as RSU's that are unvested, they are not required to be declared. They are declared on vesting, however since that will happen after the transaction, there will be no point in the declaration because the deed will have been done.

So it is quite possible that by gifting the management with 2,000,000 shares, the outcome of this vote was gifted in the same moment.

Seems to me that the shareholders have been done yet another disservice, and it seems to me that many of the shareholders are happy for it.

The upshot of all this is that 2,0060,000 votes cast will be by non-shares. The entire outcome could be swayed by people that are NOT invested in IOC. How is that for a fitting end?

You cannot make this stuff up!

From page 7 of the IOC Circular:

 How many Common Shares, RSUs and Options are entitled to vote?

InterOil’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares of a single class, and

without par or nominal value and 1,035,554 series A preferred shares. As at the Record Date, there were

49,965,863 Common Shares, 60,000 Options and 778,297 RSUs issued and outstanding. There are no outstanding

series A preferred shares. Each Common Share, RSU and Option carries the right to one vote each on the

applicable resolutions at the Meeting. See “The Arrangement – Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of

InterOil in the Arrangement” for more information regarding the vesting of RSUs.

Then page 26 and 27 go on to explain how the management will be voting on their immediate cash benefit.

Its amazing that non-vested RSU's and Options will be voting against the interests of fully invested shareholders.

Its amazing, and its wrong.
