State Gas Limited (GAS.AX) Private Placement Completed for Corporate Initiatives

State Gas Limited (ASX:GAS) ("State Gas" or the "Company") advises that it has undertaken a private placement to sophisticated investors raising $500,000.

The purpose of the Placement is to fund:

- additional legal expenses associated with the increase in the Company's Participating Interest to 100% of the Reid's Dome Gas Project (PL 231);

- additional costs arising from the Company's increase in its Participating Interest in PL 231;

- legal expenses in relation to pursuing possible transactions arising from interest received from potentially interested parties; and

- further working capital.

As announced to the ASX during February 2019, the Company has received approaches and interest from a number of parties to progress the Reid's Dome Gas Project in both partnering (asset-level) and corporate (company-level) transactions. In line with the Board's aim to ensure that discussions include all qualified and interested counterparties, State Gas has recently appointed leading independent M&A/Advisory firm Highbury Partnership as financial advisor to help it assess and respond to inquiries from interested parties. Presentations, discussions and Q&As are continuing with parties under confidentiality arrangements.

The $500,000 placement has been conducted at a price of $0.85 per Ordinary Share, with settlement on or before Wednesday, 6 March 2019.

The placement funds will provide further resources for the important corporate initiatives currently underway during the remainder of FY2019.
