31 Jan 2019debt financing● NeutralMajor
EER signed an A$1.355m loan with Noble Trading Co: 9.8% interest, repayable in three years, unsecured. It repays the A$400,000 advance and keeps A$955,000 for working capital and Blackall. This continues EER's reliance on Noble, now its 93.42% owner.
December 2018 quarter: no field work; an MDL 464 five-year renewal was lodged after quarter end. The AGM passed all resolutions. The new A$1.355m Noble loan is confirmed. Shares $0.002 (market cap $6.4m).
EER reports that its 93.42% shareholder Noble Group has completed its own restructuring under a new holding company. Noble says it has US$800m of committed trade and hedging facilities. No direct change to EER's assets or holdings is stated.
ASIC granted Noble's new holding entities relief from takeover rules tied to Noble Group's creditor restructure. Maylion's 93.42% holding in EER is unchanged. Regulatory housekeeping at the parent level; no direct change for EER.
September 2018 quarter: EPC 1399 renewed for five years to August 2023; no field work. Noble lent $400,000 for working capital with no set repayment, and Noble's stake is stated at 93.42%. EER is preparing to renew MDL 464, which expires August 2019.

25 May 2018director officer appointment● NeutralMajor
Noble's Chris Thoroughgood joins the board and founding director Mark Basso-Brusa resigns after 11 years. Noble's Rex Littlewood becomes Managing Director and Chairman on $145,250 a year. Shareholders approved the debt conversion at the 23 May meeting, though Noble had not yet converted.
March 2018 quarter: no field work, spending kept minimal, tenements in good standing at 100%. An application to renew EPC 1149 for five years was lodged, with a decision expected in the June quarter. The key goal is still the Noble debt-conversion meeting. Shares $0.003.
Andrea Betti appointed joint company secretary alongside Ranko Matic, effective immediately. Matic stays on. Administrative change; board is unchanged.
Half-year to 31 December 2017 shows a net loss of $12,585,488, against $1,351,506 a year earlier. The shown text gives no cause. AGM and the Noble conversion meeting will be combined; notice is still being prepared.

Resolves the Noble dispute: Noble advanced $500,000 and the facility was restructured. Noble's debt-to-equity conversion rights are brought forward, with a shareholder meeting planned early 2018. After conversion, current officers resign and Noble appoints three. Likely dilution for shareholders (inference).
EER requested a voluntary trading suspension because it is in dispute with lender Noble over drawdown requests under the 2013 facility. Noble disputed the second request and has not paid the first. The company says failure to resolve this is critical to its solvency.
June 2017 quarter: no field work, costs minimal, tenements in good standing and 100% held. Written report on the drill-site inspection still awaited. Board monitors Galilee Basin projects and Adani's rail line. Nothing new for shareholders.
