/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES./
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 10, 2025 /CNW/ – Stamper Oil & Gas Corp. (“Stamper” or the “Company“) (TSXV: STMP) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases of May 14, 2025, August 5, 2025, and September 3, 2025, it has completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Transaction“) of all issued and outstanding common shares of BISP Exploration Inc. (“BISP“) pursuant to an acquisition agreement dated May 12, 2025 and as amended on July 4, and August 18, 2025 (the “Definitive Agreement“). BISP is a British Columbia corporation which holds interests in certain offshore oil and gas blocks located in the Republic of Namibia (as further described below). The Transaction constituted a Reviewable (Fundamental) acquisition as defined by Policy 5.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction.
The Company expects to resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on or about September 15, 2025 under the symbol “STMP”, subject to final approval of the Transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange. Trading will resume on an ex-distribution and post 3.8:1 split basis.
Transaction Terms
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreement, the Transaction was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby, among other things: (i) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company amalgamated with BISP to form an amalgamated company (“Amalco“); (ii) holders of common shares in the capital of BISP (each, a “BISP Share“), including 57,609,993 BISP Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts (as defined herein), the 8,257,555 BISP Shares issued as part of units of BISP on September 3, 2025 and the 100 BISP Shares held by the founding shareholder of BISP each received one common share in the capital of the Company (each a “Company Share“) for each BISP Share held and the BISP Shares were cancelled; (iii); holders of the 32,933,772 issued and outstanding share purchase warrants to acquire BISP Shares (“BISP Warrants“) and 4,389,726 non-transferrable Broker Warrants (as defined herein) were issued warrants to purchase Company Shares in exchange and replacement for, and on an equivalent basis, such BISP Warrants which will thereby be cancelled; and (iv) Amalco became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The BISP Warrants exchanged in connection with the amalgamation are now exercisable to acquire one Company Share at an exercise price of $0.35 cents for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Transaction (“Closing“) and the Broker Warrants are now exercisable to acquire one Company Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per BISP Share, for a period of 36 months from Closing.
In connection with the Transaction, Stamper assumed and performed BISP’s contractual obligations under a share purchase agreement, as amended on March 19, 2025, July 14, 2025, July 23, 2025, August 18, 2025, and August 28, 2025, amongst BISP and certain arms’ length vendors (the “Vendors“) whereby BISP acquired an indirect interest in certain Namibian oil and gas assets (the “BISP Share Purchase Agreement“). Pursuant to the BISP Share Purchase Agreement, BISP acquired an indirect interest in five Namibian oil blocks under four petroleum exploration licenses (the “Namibian Blocks“) in consideration for the prior payment of a US $800,000 deposit, aggregate additional cash payments of US $5,000,000 on Closing, and the issuance of 5,000,000 Company Shares on Closing. Additionally, on the 12 month anniversary of Closing, Stamper must pay the Vendors a cash payment of US $1,250,000 and issue the Vendors an additional 8,561,644 Company Shares. The acquired interests in the Namibian Blocks are as follows:
- BISP acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rock Oil and Gas Pty (“Rock Oil“). Concurrently with Closing, Rock Oil acquired a 47% interest in WestOil Limited, a company incorporated under the Laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“WestOil“). WestOil holds a 70% working interest in PEL107 over Namibian oil block 2712A;
- Rock Oil holds a 5% carried interest in offshore Namibian oil blocks known as PEL 98 over Namibian oil block 2213 and a 5% working interest in PEL 106 over Namibian oil blocks 2111A and 2011B (although such interest is treated as carried in practice); and
- Rock Oil holds a 20% carried interest in Namibia exploration license PEL 102 over Namibian oil block 2614B.
The consideration payable for the Namibian Blocks was determined by arm’s-length negotiation between BISP and the Vendors. The Vendors are arm’s length from Stamper, BISP, and the directors and officers of Stamper and BISP.
The five Namibian Blocks are located in three of the four major basins offshore Namibia including the prolific Orange basin, the emerging Walvis basin and in the Lüderitz basin. Block 2712A in the Orange basin is located northwest of prolific oil and gas discoveries made by Rhino Resources, Galp Energia and TotalEnergies. Blocks 2213, 2011B, and 2111A are located in the emerging Walvis basin where Chevron is planning to drill a well in 2026 or 2027. Additionally, the Company has Block 2614B located in the southern portion of the Lüderitz basin, north of the Kudu Gas Field, where drilling is expected to commence in November 2025. The below map outlines the approximate locations of the Namibian Blocks:

In connection with the closing of the Offering, BISP issued 57,609,993 Subscription Receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $0.20 per Subscription Receipt. In addition, cash commissions of $792,445 were paid and a total of 4,389,726 non-transferrable broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants“) were issued in connection with the Offering, exercisable on the same terms as the BISP Warrants issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts.
