ELAND OIL & GAS PLC
("Eland" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity
As set out in the Admission Document dated 24 August 2012, all loan notes were converted into £1.00 ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") upon admission to trading on AIM. Additionally, all loan note holders made elections to receive their interest due on the first, second and third round loan notes, as applicable, as either cash or to be converted into Ordinary Shares at par value. A proportion of this interest, with an aggregate value of £391,232 was incorrectly recorded as payable in cash rather than convertible into Ordinary Shares. Accordingly the Company has cancelled £391,232 of interest payable and is today issuing 391,232 new Ordinary Shares.
An application has been made to AIM for the admission of 391,232 Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares and it is expected that these new Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on 17 September 2012. Following the admission of the new Ordinary Shares to AIM, the Company will have 135,263,214 Ordinary Shares in issue.
