Friday 6 April 2012
Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (“RMR”) (OTC BB: RDMP.OB), a growth-oriented energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties, today announced that it has received the requisite number of written consents from the shareholders of Cross Border Resources, Inc. (OTCQX: XBOR) (“Cross Border” or the “Company”) to add RMR’s six nominees to the Cross Border Board of Directors.
RMR delivered consents by shareholders owning more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares for all of RMR’s proposed actions, including the addition of Alan W. Barksdale, Paul N. Vassilakos, Richard Y. Roberts, Lynden B. Rose, Randell K. Ford and William F. Miller, III to the Cross Border Board of Directors. Shareholders also approved RMR’s proposals to repeal certain recent Bylaw amendments adopted by the Board, including the “poison pill” Bylaw amendment. RMR believes that all proposals approved by the shareholders took effect upon RMR’s delivery of the consents to the Company on April 5, 2012.
“We believe this strong display of shareholder support validates our belief that it is time for accountability and change at Cross Border,” commented Alan Barksdale, CEO of RMR. “The new Board members are committed to holding management to its stated business objectives and will uphold good corporate governance, both of which we believe the legacy Board has failed to do. We believe the election of the six new members is an important step toward restoring and maximizing shareholder value and to properly address the significant issues facing Cross Border.”
Mr. Barksdale continued: “Despite Cross Border’s attempts to scare shareholders about our intentions with regard to the Company, shareholders can be assured that the new Board members are fully committed to acting in the best interests of shareholders in accordance with their fiduciary duties and are squarely focused on maximizing value for all shareholders. Our primary goal was and is to protect the interests of all shareholders from a legacy Board that appeared more concerned with entrenching themselves and protecting their own positions and compensation than maximizing shareholder value.”
RMR, directly and through Black Rock Capital, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, is collectively the largest stockholder of Cross Border, owning approximately 29.95% of the outstanding shares of Cross Border.
