Corporate Update
In January 2012, Mooncor had entered into a farmout agreement (the "Agreement") with a private Alberta based company (the "Farmee") covering its Hamburg liquids-rich natural gas project located in northwest Alberta (the "Hamburg Lands"). The Agreement was conditional on the Farmee demonstrating dedicated funds to a minimum of $16.5 million by April 30, 2011 in order to meet its obligations pursuant to the Agreement. The Farmee has advised that it has been unable to secure the required funding and as a result have terminated the Agreement. The parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other. Mooncor plans to continue to seek other options with respect to the Hamburg Lands.
As a result of the above, Mooncor is continuing to negotiate with the holders of the two convertible debentures, with a view to extending their expiry. The debentures matured on December 31, 2011 and each has $510,719 in principal outstanding. The debenture holders had agreed to extend the expiry of the debentures to March 31, 2013, contingent on closing of the Agreement.
