Concorde Oil and Gas plc - Concorde secures mandate for debt financing


Thursday 4 May 2006

Concorde Oil and Gas plc
("Concorde" or "the Company")


Concorde secures mandate for US$100 million debt financing from Macquarie Bank

The monies will be used to develop the Luzskoye Field and to fund future
acquisitions

Concorde Oil and Gas is an Ofex listed company seeking to acquire operational
oil and gas assets in the Russian Federation. On Tuesday 2nd May, Concorde
announced that it was to seek admission to AIM through a placing of shares by
VSA Resources Limited to raise approximately *25 million. The proceeds of the
placing will primarily be used to complete the acquisition of Pechora Energy
and to start a development programme to increase production and proven
reserves.

The Company has now agreed a mandate for a US$100 million debt facility from
Macquarie Bank. The proposed facility, which will run for three years, will be
used to fund the development plan for Pechora. This is likely to include 3D
seismic surveys and a number of development wells on the Luzskoye field to
increase production and proven reserves. In addition, the funds will enable
Concorde to acquire other underperforming assets in the Russian Federation.

PECHORA ENERGY

In March 2006, Concorde signed a conditional contract to acquire Pechora Energy
("Pechora") for a total consideration of US$25 million subject to adjustment
following the finalisation of completion accounts. Pechora, a private Russian
company, owns rights in the Luzskoye Field situated in the Timan-Pechora Basin
in the north-east of the Russian Federation. As part of the acquisition the
company will also acquire a dedicated rail terminal.

The field has been evaluated by Miller and Lents Ltd, a firm of independent
petroleum engineers based in Houston, Texas, and contains an estimated 33
million barrels of crude oil under the categories of Proven, Probable and
Possible. Current production is around 245 barrels of crude per day from one
well, with two additional wells ready to come on stream.

PETER HUGHES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF CONCORDE, SAID:

"Admission to AIM will enable us to raise sufficient funds to complete the
acquisition of Pechora Energy. This debt facility will allow us to implement
the development plan in full and we believe this will significantly increase
production in the coming years.

"Going forward, we will continue to use our Russian experience and contacts to
identify further underperforming oil and gas assets in the region that are
suitable for acquisition."

You're welcome, yes they must already have some commitments, due to the tight timeframe.

[tsmith9426] 02/5/2006 16:42

thx andy, they must have institutions already onboard, so not bad really

[leesonlookalike] 02/5/2006 15:00

The whoooooosh is spreading all over advfn :-)

[andy] 02/5/2006 14:00

Wassaper, habayyut,

He said they were AIming for the 19th May.

[sranmal] 02/5/2006 13:30

Currently approx 180M shares in issue and £20M MC. Raising £25M and rumoured to have MC on transfer to AIM of approx £50M. This would mean they'd issue, say, 250M shares at 10p. This gives 430M shares at the current 11p mid giving approx £48M MC. So, IMO, issue price will be pitched around current level, and there may not be an initial share price rise, but that depends on the PI reaction to the admission. Certainly, in the coming months, I'd expect to share price to rise as further wells are bought into production. but there may not be much of an initial rise.

[habayyut] 02/5/2006 13:21

timetable for AIM admission is mid to late May...that could and should provide a WHOOOOSH to the share price

[wassapper] 02/5/2006 13:20

Thanks Andy - please tell him I am an institution in my own right! Nice price movement today.

[andy] 02/5/2006 13:16

I have just spoken to Peter Hughes, and he has confirmed that due to time constraints, this placing is for institutions only.

Concorde Oil & Gas plc has announced that, subject to raising the
necessary funds during May, it expects to conclude an acquisition of
operational oil and gas assets in the Russian Federation, this to be
followed by a transfer from Ofex to AIM.

[leesonlookalike] 02/5/2006 11:27

a mini whooosh :-)

[habayyut] 02/5/2006 10:57

anyone got a firm date for AIM admission?

[ttnyrp] 02/5/2006 10:55

Got into the Telegraph also today..

"Concorde Oil and Gas is seeking £25m from an Aim listing to fund the acquisition of the Pechora oil field in north-east Russia.

The purchase was facilitated by non-executive Grigory Gabrielyants, a former Soviet Minister of Geology. Chief executive Peter Hughes and chief operating officer John Rigby, both ex-Texaco, have a 15pc stake."

hard work,

I prefer surprises to the upside, the market obviously does too!

I think that's the correct way to play it, ie don't raise investor's expectation too high, and then over-deliver, that way everyone is happy, and if you don't quite achieve what you set out to, the chance is nobody will be disappointed because you have still met their original expectations.

[hard work] 02/5/2006 08:50

Looks like classic under promise, over delivery! Reserves now estimated at 33m rather than the 20-30m originally stated. Originally one well producing, now stated as one producing with another two about to commence...
