Synergia Energy Ltd ("Synergia Energy" or the "Company") announces an equity capital raising comprising of a placing and a subscription with existing and new institutional investors, and a director, for a total of £750,000 before expenses (the "Fundraising"), through the issue of 2,500,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares ("Fundraising Shares"). The Fundraising involved the issue of 1,916,666,700 placing shares ("Placing Shares") and 583,333,300 subscription shares ("Subscription Shares") at GBP0.03 pence per share.
Net proceeds from the Fundraising will be used to bridge the Company's ongoing general, administrative and technical costs prior to an expected increase in revenues from its 50% working interest in the producing Cambay gas and condensate field in India where it is carried on a US$20m field development programme that is underway.
The Fundraising Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing shares. An application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Fundraising Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").

In connection with the Fundraising, the Company has also agreed to issue 115,000,002 unquoted warrants exercisable at GBP0.03 pence per share for a period of 5 years from Admission of the Placing Shares to AIM ("Broker Warrants").
