The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) initially estimated that the strategic review would be substantially completed by mid to late July 2016. The Board now expects to complete its strategic review in August 2016, prior to the mailing of shareholder meeting materials on or before September 1, 2016. The Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders is scheduled for September 23, 2016. “The strategic review process will continue throughout the coming weeks,” said Mr. Robert Metcalfe, Chairman of the Board. Mr. Metcalfe continued saying that, “The recent confluence of the recovering oil prices combined with the increased availability of oil & gas assets unable to attract traditional institutional financing is generating some very interesting prospects for AOS to review and consider.” The evaluation of such opportunities is based on certain criteria which include, but are not limited to: the quality of proposed management and board members, the quality of the business and/or underlying assets, and the proposed go-forward business plan to further enhance shareholder value. Should no suitable opportunity be identified within the estimated timelines, the Company intends to make arrangements to distribute its net cash to shareholders.
