Mayan Energy Ltd (London AIM: MYN) is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made earlier today regarding the Acquisition of Attis Oil & Gas Ltd ("Attis"), it has successfully raised GBP700,000 gross proceeds via a placing of 500,000,000 new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing Shares") with certain existing and new investors along with the shareholders of Attis at a price of 0.14p per share (the "Placing Price") (the "Placing"). The funds raised by the Placing will be used to fund further field enhancement work at Austin Chalk in Texas, initiation of operations at the Zink Ranch Field in Oklahoma, a seven well workover programme, including two plug and abandonment wells, at the Fort Worth Field and sub-surface studies at Zink Ranch and Austin Chalk. The Placing satisfies the final Condition Precedent to complete of the acquisition of Attis.

Attis Completion

Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Company and the shareholders of Attis ("SPA") 952,197,460 Ordinary Shares are to be issued to the shareholders of Attis ("Consideration Shares"). 777,589,716 of the Consideration Shares issued under the acquisition of Attis, representing 81.7% of the Consideration Shares, are subject to a lock-in until 31 December 2019. The Consideration Shares will be issued and allotted with admission expected at the same time as the Placing Shares as further set out below.

The Attis shareholder group has also participated in the Placing to the extent of a GBP165,000 cash subscription. Following the completion of the Placing and Acquisition of Attis, the Attis shareholder group will hold a 28.31% interest in Mayan.

17,857,142 Ordinary Shares will also be issued to a third party consultant at the Placing Price for introduction of the transaction ("Settlement Shares").

10,400,325 Ordinary Shares will be issued at the Placing Price in relation to the settlement of accrued Director fees to the Company's Chairman, Paolo Amoruso, for time spent over his monthly rate of GBP2,000 per calendar month basic rate ("the Settlement Shares"). Following the issue of the Settlement Shares, Mr Amoruso will hold 2.53% of Mayan.

Broker Warrants

In connection with the Placing, Mayan has issued 37,500,000 broker warrants to subscribe for new shares in Mayan, and these are exercisable at the Placing Price within three years from admission of the Placing Shares.

Admission of Placing Shares

Placing is conditional on Admission and application will be made for the 1,480,454,927 Placing Shares, Settlement Shares and Consideration Shares ("New Shares"), which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM (the "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Shares will commence on or around 9 May 2019.

Following the issue of the Ordinary Shares (being the Consideration Shares for the Acquisition of Attis, the Placing Shares and Settlement Shares), the Company's issued share capital will consist of 3,774,292,308 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury at the date of this announcement and therefore following the Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 3,774,292,308.
