Upon completion of the Amalgamation, the current shareholders of KWG and Spider will each own approximately 50% of the combined public entity based on the current issued and outstanding shares of both companies. The proposed transaction will create a company with a controlling 53% interest in and operatorship of the Big Daddy project, with the option to earn a further 7% interest to achieve a 60% interest in the project.
