"We are pleased to announce that our inaugural EUR 500 million notes issuance, as part of the EMTN program has been successful, which is honoring us and indicate the trust of investors in the company's development plans. Besides registering a record number of international investors, the book building process also registered a demand of more than EUR 5 billion, which marks a first for the issuance of corporate bonds in Romania. It is an even greater pleasure to say that ROMGAZ, a Romanian company, has achieved such a performance on the international markets, strengthening its position as a strategic player in the regional energy sector. Many thanks to the shareholders, especially the majority one, for their confidence and support in the issuance and approving such notes program", stated Răzvan Popescu, ROMGAZ CEO.

Deputy CEO Aristotel Jude declared that: "The success of such issuance of notes confirms that the investors have confidence in ROMGAZ current and future plans, in the context where natural gas remains a transition fuel, without which the energy security and continuous energy supply cannot be ensured. Neptun Deep, a national strategic project, will benefit from such financing, ROMGAZ being hence a factor of stability in ensuring the security of supply for Romania as well as for the region. We remain dedicated to the achievement of ROMGAZ strategic objectives and confident in the company's future."

"The result of ROMGAZ first note issuance is a proof of professionalism and dedication of our colleagues and consultants who assisted us in this transaction and of the credibility the company enjoys both domestically and internationally. We are pleased with the success of this issuance which motivates us even more to carry out the projects we are committed to, in order to prove to investors, either shareholders or, now, noteholders, that the trust they have placed in us is fully justified", stated Gabriela Tranbitas, CFO.
