Mustang Energy PLC

Admission to Trading and First Day of Dealings

Mustang Energy PLC (the "Company" or "Mustang"), a special purpose acquisition company formed to acquire oil and gas projects in developed jurisdictions, is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of £750,000 through the placing of 7,500,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of £0.10 per Ordinary Share, of which the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has invested an aggregate of £155,000.

Application has been made for the entire issued share capital of 8,400,000 Ordinary Shares, by way of a Standard Listing, to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Dealings in the Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 29 July 2019 under the ticker "MUST" (ISIN: GB00BJ9MHH56).

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS 

·    Initial focus will be acquiring projects which will be capable of generating positive cash-flow within 12 months of acquisition;

·    Acquiring working interests in low-risk, proven oil and gas properties;

·    Onshore projects preferred;

·    No intention to operate projects to maintain low overheads and strong bottom line;

·    Focus on bypassed pay and redevelopment projects with exploration upside;

·    Utilising management's extensive industry network to provide deal-flow for new opportunities; and

·    In the initial growth phase, no exploration projects will be considered.

No remuneration shall be payable to the Board or management team until completion of the Company's first acquisition. Following admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on the Main Market, the Directors will own approximately 29.2% of the Company, ensuring significant alignment with all shareholders. It is intended that any costs are kept to an absolute minimum and main business activities will be kept in-house.

Commenting on today's dealing debut, Dean Gallegos, Managing Director of the Company, said: "We are encouraged with the support we have received for Mustang's listing and would like to thank all our new shareholders for their interest and participation. We are now keen to execute our strategy and move forward with opportunities as quickly and as effectively as possible."

ABOUT THE COMPANY 

Mustang aims to use strong management experience and relationships to acquire interests in low cost, low risk development projects that possess significant undeveloped upside with access to existing infrastructure. 

Additionally, Directors will be issued 900,000 warrants which vest when the share price reaches 15p, are exercisable at 10p and expire in 5 years.
