NIGHTHAWK ENERGY PLC

("Nighthawk" or "the Company")

OTCQX Quotation Obtained in United States

Fully Sponsored American Depository Receipt Programme Established

Nighthawk Energy plc (AIM: HAWK), the US focused hydrocarbon development and production company, is pleased to announce a number of corporate initiatives given the increasing interest in the Company within the United States. 

Nighthawk has obtained a quotation (OTCQX: NHEGY) on the OTCQX International platform. The OTCQX quotation, which will take effect today the 14 September 2009, is complementary to Nighthawk's London Stock Exchange AIM quotation, which will continue to serve as the principal trading platform for the Company's ordinary shares. 

In addition, under a separate agreement, Nighthawk has engaged SMH Capital Inc., the broker-dealer subsidiary of Sanders Morris Harris Group (NASDAQ: SMHG), to serve as the Principal American Liaison ("PAL") in connection with Nighthawk's OTCQX quotation, providing capital markets advisory, strategic investor communication, in-depth company research, analysis and trading monitoring services. 

The Company has also undertaken a Level 1 American Depository Receipt ("ADR") programme (20 ordinary shares to 1 ADR) fully sponsored by The Bank of New York Mellon. The ADR's will be created using the existing issued share capital of the Company.

Nighthawk has appointed Financial Dynamics Limited to enhance the Company's communication with analysts and institutional investors, both in the US and UK, as the Company expands.

David Bramhill, CEO of Nighthawk, stated:

"Quotation on the OTCQX International market and the establishment of the ADR programme will facilitate ownership for a broader range of investors.

"We are pleased to be working with The Bank of New York Mellon, SMH Capital and Financial Dynamics and we are confident that their expertise and capabilities will assist in driving our strategy forwards with our existing advisers on both sides of the Atlantic."

Notes

1 Background on Nighthawk

Nighthawk's operations are US based and focus on two major projects, namely Jolly Ranch and Revere, located in Colorado and Kansas/Missouri respectively.

The Company announced in July 2009 that it had raised £22.4 million in the London Capital markets providing the Company the funding for its development programme which will include the drilling of up to 20 wells, including a number of horizontal wells, and the building of production facilities at Jolly Ranch and the drilling of approximately 200 wells and the building of production facilities at Revere.

Nighthawk also recently announced details of an independent evaluation by Schlumberger Data & Consulting Services, of the hydrocarbons in place at the Jolly and Craig Ranch fields, Lincoln County, Colorado, part of the Jolly Ranch project. The P50, or most likely, oil in place ("OIP") estimate for the 246,000 acres evaluated, out of the total approximate 370,000 gross acres held within the project, using probabilistic methods, was calculated to be 1.462 billion barrels of oil gross.

Similar independent technical reports were undertaken by Oilfield Production Consultants Limited ("OPC") on the Revere project.  The OPC reports determine that the most likely case stock tank oil originally in place ("STOOIP") is 210.5 million barrels gross which is expected to increase as additional wells are drilled on the offsetting acreage.
