OVERVIEW

CLEO Energy Corp. (“CLEO” or the “Company”) has engaged Sayer Energy Advisors to assist the Company with the sale of certain of its non-core oil and natural gas interests located in the Alliance, Atlee and Fabyan areas of Alberta (the “Properties”).

Average daily sales production net to CLEO from the Properties for the fourth quarter of 2023 was approximately 409 boe/d, consisting of approximately 2.2 MMcf/d of natural gas and 47 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids. Current production from the Properties is approximately 506 boe/d, consisting of 2.5 MMcf/d of natural gas and 87 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids after recent re-activations done by CLEO at Atlee.

Operating income net to CLEO from the Properties for the fourth quarter of 2023 was approximately $118,000. Net operating income is forecast to increase significantly with the recent re-activations done by CLEO at Atlee. CLEO is forecasting net operating income for the twelve months ended April 30, 2025 of $650,000 from its interests at Atlee.

At Fabyan, CLEO controls all of the pipeline infrastructure in the area necessary for both oil development and associated natural gas egress. The area has significant offsetting potential including the Viking and Upper Mannville Sparky oil reservoirs, which would require use of the Company’s pipeline infrastructure.

As of April 3, 2024, the Properties had a deemed net asset value of $1.1 million (deemed assets of $14.2 million and deemed liabilities of $13.1 million), with an LMR ratio of 1.08.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers to acquire the Properties until 12:00 pm on Thursday June 27, 2024. 


 
Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a "second-round" bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude
transactions with the parties submitting the most acceptable proposals at the conclusion of the process.

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers from interested parties until
noon on Thursday June 27, 2024.

NOTE REGARDING A SAYER PROCESS
 
On each and every offering brochure generated by Sayer, you will note the sentence “Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a “second-round” bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a sale of the Properties with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.” What this means is that Sayer will not go back to multiple parties at the same time after bids are received, asking them all for a second bid. We determine which party submitted the most acceptable proposal and then we attempt to negotiate acceptable terms with that party in a “one-off” situation.

If the process involves a cash sale of a property or company and the party which submitted the most acceptable proposal has met our client’s threshold value, that offer will be accepted. If this proposal does not meet our client’s threshold value, then we will advise that party that the offer is not quite what our client was expecting, and we will ask them to increase the offer. If that offer is not acceptable to our client, we will then move down to the party which submitted the next most acceptable proposal and we will then work with that party to attempt to meet our client’s threshold value.

 
In the extremely rare circumstance where two or more parties submit virtually identical proposals, we will contact all  parties, we will advise them of this situation and we will ask them to submit a revised proposal.  Once these are received, we will work with the party which has submitted the most acceptable proposal.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

Parties wishing to receive access to the confidential information with detailed technical information relating to this opportunity should execute the Confidentiality Agreement and return one copy to Sayer Energy Advisors by courier, mail (tpavic@sayeradvisors.com) or fax (403.266.4467).

Included in the confidential information is the following: summary land information, the Deloitte Report, LMR information, most recent net operations summary, detailed facilities information and other relevant technical information.
