On July 10, 2011, Samson Oil & Gas Limited (the “Company”) appointed Dr. DeAnn Craig to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective immediately. With Dr. Craig’s appointment, the size of the Board, which had been reduced to three members by the June 30 retirement of former Chairman Neil McLachlan, is again four members, including three non-executive directors. Dr. Craig is also an “independent director” under NYSE Amex rules and will serve on the Company’s Audit Committee.
Pursuant to the Company’s constitution, the Company’s shareholders will vote on whether to extend Dr. Craig’s service on the Board at their annual meeting in November 2011. Neither Dr. Craig nor any related person has a direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed transaction to which the Company is or may become a party. Dr. Craig will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s general policies for compensation of non-executive directors.
