NWOGaction has successfully fulfilled its objective of securing an AGM date for New World Oil & Gas, which includes an agenda with independent directors for election to the board. NWOGaction is delighted that the company's shareholders now have the opportunity to cast their votes and set their company on an exciting new course.

Now that the concert party formed by members of NWOGaction has achieved its objective, this concert party has formally disbanded.

NWOGaction will continue as an independent campaign group, in support of the candidacies of Adam Reynolds and Nicholas Lee for election to the board of directors.

NWOGaction will campaign vigorously against the reappointment of Peter Sztyk to the board.
