| verkoper ingehuurd Form 8-K for ASPEN EXPLORATION CORP 10-Sep-2008 Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Other Events Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers Aspen Exploration Corporation ("Aspen") and Robert A. Cohan entered into an employment agreement dated January 1, 2003, as amended on April 22, 2005 (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was for an initial three year term and was amended in April 2005. As amended, the term of the agreement ends on December 31, 2008, but would continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party. Currently under the Agreement we pay Mr. Cohan an annual salary of $160,000 (which we will continue to pay through December 31, 2008). We also offer Mr. Cohan health insurance, cost reimbursement, and certain other benefits. As reported in January 2008, Mr. Cohan suffered a stroke and was unable to continue to perform his duties as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Aspen. As a result, these duties were assumed by Messrs. R.V. Bailey and Kevan Hensman. Mr. Cohan retained the title of president, and has been working with Messrs. Bailey and Hensman and Aspen's other employees and consultants as able to ensure that Aspen's oil and gas operations continue. Although Mr. Cohan has provided substantial continuing assistance to Aspen, he has been unable to resume his duties as chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Inasmuch as Aspen is exploring strategic alternatives as described in Item 8.01, below, the board of directors, including Mr. Cohan, concurred that it was appropriate to provide notice to Mr. Cohan that his employment agreement would not be renewed when it expires on December 31, 2008. Therefore, on September 4, 2008, Aspen notified Mr. Cohan that his employment agreement will not be renewed when it expires on December 31, 2008. This notification does not terminate Mr. Cohan's employment either now or on December 31, 2008, but merely advises him that his employment agreement will not be renewed. Mr. Cohan retains the title of president. The Board of Directors determined that it will consider the continuing employment status of all of its officers later in the year. Aspen will not be obligated to pay any penalties for not renewing the Agreement. Item 8.01 Other Events On September 4, 2008, Aspen issued a press release announcing that Aspen has decided to investigate strategic alternatives, including the possibility of selling Aspen's assets or considering another appropriate merger or acquisition transaction, and plans to open a data room where interested persons may review certain information. Aspen has entered into an agreement with Brian Wolf, a California-licensed mineral, oil and gas broker and consulting geologist, to assemble and operate the data room. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Any transaction may require shareholder approval; such approval, if required, will be sought in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. username:mw tijdstip:2008.09.23 - 13h59m21 |
| sellout decision www.aspen.com Press Release Source: Aspen Exploration Corporation Aspen Exploration to Open Data Room Thursday September 4, 1:25 pm ET DENVER, CO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 4, 2008 -- Aspen Exploration Corporation (OTC BB:ASPN.OB - News), with offices in Bakersfield, California and Denver, Colorado, announced that Aspen's board of directors has decided to investigate strategic alternatives for Aspen, including the possibility of selling Aspen's assets or considering another appropriate merger or acquisition transaction for several reasons, including: -- the disproportionate cost of Aspen's general and administrative expenditures required as a result of compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) when compared to Aspen's revenues and net income; -- the board of directors' belief that the market price of Aspen common stock does not adequately reflect the inherent value of Aspen's producing oil and gas assets and undeveloped acreage, and thus the board of directors does not believe that a transaction based on the value of Aspen's common stock would be in the best interest of Aspen's shareholders; and -- the likelihood that Aspen's president will be unable to resume his former role and responsibilities and oversee Aspen's day-to-day operations due to the effects of the stroke he suffered in January 2008 ADVERTISEMENT Aspen plans to open a data room in Santa Barbara, California, at which persons interested in acquiring Aspen's assets or Aspen itself will be able to review a significant amount of information about Aspen and its properties. Aspen has retained Brian Wolf, a California-licensed mineral, oil and gas broker and consulting geologist, to assemble and operate the data room for Aspen. Persons who want to review the information in the data room must 1) demonstrate that it has a bona fide interest in exploring an asset acquisition or other business combination with Aspen; 2) must demonstrate adequate financial capability to do so; and 3) must enter into a mutual non-disclosure agreement. The data room is being operated by Brian Wolf, CPG #9541, California Mineral, Oil and Gas Broker License #997428, owner of Brian Wolf Oil & Gas Properties, who can be reached at (805) 686-5622, to schedule a data room appointment. Aspen has not received any offer from any person for an asset acquisition, merger, or other business combination. Aspen cannot offer any assurance that it will receive an acceptable offer from any person for an asset acquisition, merger, or other business combination. Further, Aspen may later determine that it is in the best interest of its shareholders to investigate other forms of business alternatives or to continue and expand existing business operations with existing or new management. In the meantime, Aspen will continue to carry on its business operations in the normal course. For more information, contact R. V. Bailey, CEO, in Aspen's Denver office at 303-639-9860.
