Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd
 Proposed Placing

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd ("Falcon" or the "Company") (AIM: FOG, Euronext Growth: FAC, TSXV: FO.V), the international oil and gas company engaged in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas assets, is pleased to announce a proposed placing of new Common Shares of the Company (the "Placing Shares")  at a price of 14p per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") in order to raise gross proceeds of up to US$10 million (c.£7.76 million) (the "Placing") by way of a conditional placing of the Placing Shares with institutional investors.

The net proceeds of the Placing will primarily be used to fund Falcon’s share of estimated capital expenditure in respect of the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of four horizontal wells in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Australia (further details of which are provided below).

The Placing is being conducted through a bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuild") which is being managed by J&E Davy ("Davy"), RBC Capital Markets ("RBC") and Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos" and together with Davy and RBC, the “Joint Bookrunners”) and will open immediately following the release of this Announcement and will be made available to eligible institutional investors. Davy is also acting as nominated adviser (for the purpose of the AIM Rules for Companies) and Euronext Growth advisor (for the purpose of the Euronext Growth Rules) to the Company in connection with the Placing.

Company Background

Falcon is an international oil and gas company focused on the exploration and appraisal of unconventional oil and gas assets. Its corporate strategy is to explore unconventional oil and gas basins; following successful exploration, continue with appraisal programs to determine commercialisation options; and subsequently monetise assets prior to production.

Falcon Australia owns 30% of three exploration permits in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, located in the Northern Territory of Australia (the “Beetaloo”) being EP76, EP98, EP117 (the "Beetaloo Exploration Permits") which represent total gross acreage of 4.6 million, or 1.4 million acres net to Falcon Australia’s 30% participating interest. In 2014, Falcon Australia farmed-out 35% of its participating interest in the Beetaloo Exploration Permits to a subsidiary of Origin Energy Limited, and 35% of its interest in the Beetaloo Exploration Permits to Sasol Petroleum Australia Limited ("Sasol"), a subsidiary of Sasol Limited, pursuant to the terms of a farm out agreement (“Farm-out Agreement”), in a deal worth A$200 million (c.US$143 million). Following certain further transfers of interest, Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd. (“Origin”) now holds a 70% participating interest in, and is the operator of, the Beetaloo Exploration Permits (the “Operator”) under a joint venture with Falcon Australia, which holds the remaining 30% participating interest (together, the “JV”).

To date, the JV has drilled four wells under the stage 1 work program set out in the Farm-out Agreement (“Stage 1”), which resulted in the discovery of 6.6 TCF of 2C gross contingent resource estimate (1.94 TCF net to Falcon). A 57 day extended well test resulted in cumulative production of 63 MMscf and variable gas rates ranged between 0.8-1.2 MMscf/d. 

The JV has agreed to evaluate the potential of the liquids-rich gas fairways in both the Kyalla and the Velkerri shale plays as part of the stage 2 work program set out in the Farm-out Agreement ("Stage 2"). Exploration and appraisal activities targeted to commence in mid-2019 under Stage 2 include the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of two horizontal wells:

1. Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas play – one of the identified three source rock and two hybrid target intervals in the Kyalla formation, with estimated liquid yields in the range of 15-60 bbl/MMscf. The Kyalla formation prospective areas, which are confined to the Beetaloo Exploration Permits, are expected to have a cost advantage over the Velkerri formation prospective areas given they are shallower and are likely to contain liquids rich gas that could also improve expected economics.
    
2. Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play – a liquids rich gas play fairway along the northern and south-eastern flanks of the Beetaloo Exploration Permits, at 1,200-2,000mTVD, with regional gas composition and maturity data indicating condensate to gas ratio at an estimated 5-40 bbl/MMscf. Indications are that porosity and permeability are higher in these areas and there is an increased potential for a stacked liquids rich target.

Exploration and appraisal activities targeted to commence in 2020 under the stage 3 work program under the Farm-out Agreement ("Stage 3") include the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of a further two horizontal wells targeting one or more of the three plays:

1. Velkerri B shale gas play
2. Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas plays
3. Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play

Reasons for the Placing

The estimated gross capex for Stage 2 and Stage 3 is c.US$130 million. Under the terms of the Farm-out Agreement, Falcon Australia is carried for up to c.A$113 million (~US$80 million) for the costs of Stage 2 and Stage 3, equating to c.US$24 million net benefit to Falcon, with Falcon’s net cash contribution estimated at US$15 million, before contingency.

Falcon’s net cash contribution to the first c.US$100 million of gross capex for Stage 2 and Stage 3 is estimated at c.US$5.5 million, before contingency.  The Company will use the net proceeds of the Placing, together with its existing cash resources of c.US$6 million, principally to fund its net contribution to estimated capex under Stage 2 and Stage 3 and G&A expenses.

Details of the Placing

The Placing will be managed on the Company's behalf by the Joint Bookrunners in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix to this Announcement. The Placing is not being underwritten by the Joint Bookrunners. The Company reserves the right to issue and sell a lesser number of Common Shares through the Placing and to settle certain of the Placing Shares by way of a direct subscription with the Company. The Placing will be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix. The Bookbuild, to determine demand for participation in the Placing, will commence with immediate effect following the release of this Announcement and is expected to close no later than 6.30 p.m. UK time on 17 May 2019. However, the timing of the closing of the Bookbuild is at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to close the Bookbuild earlier or later, without further notice.

The number of Placing Shares and allocations will be determined by the Company and Joint Bookrunners following the close of the Bookbuild.  The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with the existing Common Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Common Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

As detailed in the Appendix, the Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission.

It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on 22 May 2019.

This Announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, your attention is drawn to the "Important Information" section of this Announcement and to the detailed terms and conditions of the Placing and further information relating to the Bookbuild described in the Appendix.

3. The Bookbuild will establish the number of Placing Shares to be issued by the Company at the Placing Price, which will be payable by all Placees whose bids are successful. The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be announced through the Placing Results Announcement following the completion of the Bookbuild.
4. To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone to their usual sales contact at the relevant Joint Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to acquire at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunnners on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below.

6. Each Placee's allocation will be determined by the Joint Bookrunners in their discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed orally by the relevant Joint Bookrunner as soon as practicable following the close of the Bookbuild. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a form of confirmation issued to such Placee by the relevant Joint Bookrunner ("Confirmation"). The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that Confirmation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Confirmation constitutes each Placee's irrevocable legally binding agreement, subject to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated, to pay the aggregate settlement amount for the Placing Shares to be subscribed for by that Placee regardless of the total number of Placing Shares (if any) subscribed for by any other investor(s).

Noprospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA, CBI or submitted to the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Dublin or TSX Venture Exchange in relation to the Placing or the Placing Shares and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement and any information publicly announced through a Regulatory Information Service by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of this Announcement (the "Publicly Available Information") and subject to any further terms set forth in the Confirmation to be sent to individual Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners or any other person and none of the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company nor any other person acting on such person's behalf nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees has or shall have any liability for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing and/or Bookbuild based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall operate to limit or exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

RegistrationandSettlement

Participation in the Bookbuild is only available to persons who are invited to participate in it by the Joint Bookrunners (or any one of them).

Each Placee's commitment to acquire a fixed number of Placing Shares under the Placing will be agreed orally or in writing or via email with the Joint Bookrunners, and such agreement will constitute a legally binding commitment on such Placee's part to acquire such number of Placing Shares at the Placing Price subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Announcement and the Company's articles of association.

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a form of confirmation or electronic confirmation by the relevant Joint Bookrunner, as soon as it is able which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Placing Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to the relevant Joint Bookrunner(s).

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Settlement of transactions in depository interests representing the Placing Shares following Admission will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST"), subject to certain exceptions. Settlement of depository interests representing the Placing Shares through CREST is expected to take place on 22 May 2019 unless otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners and Admission is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 30 May 2019 unless otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners. Admission and Settlement may occur at an earlier date, which if achievable, will be notified through a Regulatory Information Service. Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis.  However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of depository interests representing Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form.  The Joint Bookrunners reserve the right to require settlement for the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof), and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement of depository interests representing Placing Shares to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above LIBOR as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Joint Bookrunner's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional form of confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Joint Bookrunners or any of their affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, satisfy their obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the Joint Bookrunners, any money held in an account with the Joint Bookrunners on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the Joint Bookrunners money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the Joint Bookrunners in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the Joint Bookrunners.
