Alton, this is where I found that there were several MOTs that were either replaced or appointed after the former MOT who passed away. By the way my name is Nick

In February 2011, the former Minister of Tourism, with whom the Company had the majority of its dealings regarding the DA, passed away. A new Minister of Tourism was appointed in March 2011 and was replaced in May 2011 by a third Minister of Tourism, His Excellency Abdulmalik Al-Khalili. Last month (March 2012), H.E. Abdulmalik was appointed as the Minister of Justice and he was replaced at MOT on March 1, 2012 by the present Minister of Tourism, His Excellency Ahmad bin Nasser Al Mehrzi.

The MOT legal staff had asked us in June 2011 to provide a written history and background of the Omagine Project (the “Omagine DA Report”) for use by them in updating and briefing the then newly appointed Minister, H.E. Abdulmalik Al-Khalili. This was done, and in July 2011 the MOT legal staff informed the Company’s attorneys that the then Minister of Tourism, H.E. Abdulmalik Al-Khalili, had approved the Final DA for the Omagine Project and that all matters regarding the Final DA were resolved, agreed and accepted by the Government.

The MOT legal staff then asked us to undertake and complete the registration with the Government of Oman of the names and ownership positions of the Omagine LLC shareholders (the “Registration”). The Registration was the last remaining condition precedent necessary to be accomplished in order to sign the DA. The Registration was accomplished on September 13, 2011 and the final Registration documents were delivered to MOT on September 19, 2011.10-K12/31/2011
