SECTION 5 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The Company reports that it has completed the change of its jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Canadian federal jurisdiction under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the CBCA ) by way of continuation ( Continuation ). The Companys shareholders approved the Continuation at a special meeting of shareholders held on November 25, 2008. The Company completed the filing of Articles of Conversion with the Nevada Secretary of State on November 25, 2008. The Companys Articles of Continuance were accepted for filing by Industry Canada effective November 27, 2008. The effect of these filings is to transfer the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company from the State of Nevada to the Canadian federal jurisdiction under the CBCA. Copies of the Articles of Conversion and the Companys new constating documents, being its Certificate of Continuance and its By-Laws, are attached hereto as exhibits.
The Companys common shares remain registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( Exchange Act ) as a result of the operation of Rule 12g-3 of the Exchange Act. There was no change to the Companys board of directors or officers. The Company is now a Canadian federal corporation governed by the CBCA.
As a consequence of completion of the Continuation, the Company has completed an assessment as to whether it meets the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the SEC ) definition of a foreign private issuer, as defined under Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act. The Company has concluded that it presently meets the definition of foreign private issuer as more than 50% of the Companys outstanding shares are owned by person who are not residents of the United States. Accordingly, the Company plans to commence filing continuous disclosure reports with the SEC as a foreign private issuer. These reports will include an annual report on Form 20-F for the Companys recently completed fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The Company will not be subject to the proxy statement requirements of the Exchange Act and its insiders will not be subject to the insider reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company will, however, be required to continue to file with the SEC on Form 6-K its quarterly financial statements, management discussion and analysis, information circulars which it files in connection with meetings of its shareholders, material change reports and press releases that the Company files with securities commissions in Canada. Filings with Canadian securities commissions can be viewed at www.sedar.com .

PLAN OF CONVERSION
OF
AMG OIL LTD.
(A Nevada Corporation)
INTO
AMG OIL LTD.
(A Company Organized Under the Laws of
the Federal Jurisdiction of Canada)
AMG Oil Ltd., a Nevada corporation (the Constituent Entity), hereby adopts the following Plan of Conversion:
1. |
The name of the Constituent Entity is: AMG Oil Ltd. |
|
2. |
The name of the resulting entity (the Resulting Entity) is: AMG Oil Ltd. |
|
3. |
The jurisdiction of the law that governs the Constituent Entity is the State of Nevada. The jurisdiction of the law that will govern the Resulting Entity is the federal jurisdiction of Canada. |
|
4. |
As soon as is practicable following approval of this Plan of Conversion by the shareholders of the Constituent Entity and all requisite corporate and regulatory action in respect of the Resulting Entity has been taken, the Constituent Entity will cause the conversion of the Constituent Entity into the Resulting Entity (the Conversion) to be consummated by the filing of the Articles of Conversion in the office of the Nevada Secretary of State in such form as is required by, and signed in accordance with, the applicable provisions of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and the execution and filing of the Articles of Continuance with the Director of Industry Canada. The date of the Certificate of Continuance issued by the Director of Industry Canada shall be the effective date of the Conversion (the Conversion Date). |
|
5. |
As of the Conversion Date: |
|
(a) |
The Constituent Entity shall be converted into the Resulting Entity which shall possess all rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public nature and a private nature and shall be subject to all restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Constituent Entity. |
|
(b) |
The title to all real estate vested by deed or otherwise under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the title to all other property, real and personal, owned by the Constituent Entity, and all debts due to the Constituent Entity on whatever account, as well as all other things in action or belonging to the Constituent Entity, shall in accordance with the NRS be vested in the Resulting Entity without reservation or impairment. |
|
(c) |
The Resulting Entity shall have all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Entity, but all rights of creditors accruing and all liens placed upon any property of the Constituent Entity up to the Conversion Date shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Entity shall attach to the Resulting Entity and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if it had incurred or contracted such debts, liabilities and duties. |
|
(d) |
Any proceeding pending against the Constituent Entity may be continued as if the Conversion had not occurred or the Resulting Entity may be substituted in the proceeding in place of the Constituent Entity. |
|
(e) |
Any surplus appearing on the books of the Constituent Entity shall be entered as surplus on the books of the Resulting Entity and all such surplus shall thereafter be dealt by the Resulting Entity in any lawful manner. |
Page 2
(f) |
Once the Conversion is completed, the holders of shares of common stock of the Constituent Entity instead will own one common share without par value of the Resulting Entity for each share of common stock held immediately prior to the Conversion. The currently outstanding options to purchase shares of the Constituent Entity's common stock will represent options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares of the Resulting Entity for the equivalent purchase price per share without other action by the Constituent Entity's option holders. Option holders will not have to exchange their options. Option holders who are not shareholders will not have a right to vote on the Conversion. |
|
(g) |
The Conversion, if approved, will effect a change in the legal jurisdiction of incorporation of the Constituent Entity as of the effective date thereof, but the Constituent Entity will not, as a result of the change in legal jurisdiction, change its business or operations after the effective date of the Conversion as the Resulting Entity. |
|
(h) |
Michael Hart, John Campbell, and Dan Brown will be elected to the board of directors of the Resulting Entity effective as of the Conversion Date. As of the Conversion Date, the election, duties, resignation and removal of the Constituent Entity directors and officers shall be governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act , the Articles of Continuance and the Bylaws of the Resulting Entity. |
|
6. |
The full text of the Articles of Continuance and Bylaws of the Resulting Entity are attached hereto as Schedule A and Schedule B, respectively, and each is incorporated herein by this reference. |
|
7. |
The Constituent Entity intends that this Plan of Conversion will constitute the complete Plan of Conversion referred to in Section 92A.105 of the NRS. |

AMG ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF CONTINUATION
AMG OIL LTD. (OTCBB: AMGO) (the Company) is pleased to announce that it has completed the change of its jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Canadian federal jurisdiction under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the CBCA ) by way of continuation ( Continuation ). The Companys shareholders approved the Continuation at a special meeting of shareholders held on November 25, 2008. The Company completed the filing of Articles of Conversion with the Nevada Secretary of State on November 25, 2008. The Companys Articles of Continuance were accepted for filing by Industry Canada effective November 27, 2008. The effect of these filings is to transfer the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company from the State of Nevada to the Canadian federal jurisdiction under the CBCA.
The Companys common shares remain registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( Exchange Act ) as a result of the operation of Rule 12g-3 of the Exchange Act. There was no change to the Companys board of directors or officers. The Company is now a Canadian federal corporation governed by the CBCA.
As a consequence of completion of the Continuation, the Company has completed an assessment as to whether it meets the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the SEC ) definition of a foreign private issuer, as defined under Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act. The Company has concluded that it presently meets the definition of foreign private issuer as more than 50% of the Companys outstanding shares are owned by person who are not residents of the United States. Accordingly, the Company plans to commence filing continuous disclosure reports with the SEC as a foreign private issuer. These reports will include an annual report on Form 20-F for the Companys recently completed fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The Company will not be subject to the proxy statement requirements of the Exchange Act and its insiders will not be subject to the insider reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company will, however, be required to continue to file with the SEC on Form 6-K its quarterly financial statements, management discussion and analysis, information circulars which it files in connection with meetings of its shareholders, material change reports and press releases that the Company files with securities commissions in Canada. Filings with Canadian securities commissions can be viewed at www.sedar.com.
