Gasol rolls over BBH funding facility

Gasol plc, the West African energy development company, today announces that it has agreed terms with Banque Benedict Hentsch & Cie SA ("BBH") for the rollover of its maturing convertible loan facility by one year to a new maturity date of 30 December 2013.

The revised terms of the BBH Facility comprise:

   --     the principal amount of the facility is GBP694,167.08; 
   --     an interest rate of 5% payable at maturity or conversion;

-- a conversion option whereby BBH has the right to call for the conversion of the loan, in whole or in part, into ordinary shares of Gasol at a price of 20p per share. Conversion may take place at any time up to 30 December, 2013; and

-- repayment (to the extent not previously converted) on 30 December 2013. Repayment may be made, at the Company's choice, either in cash or in Gasol's shares (priced at a 10% discount to the mid-market closing price on the day before repayment).

In consideration of the rollover, and the revised payment terms, Gasol is awarding BBH 240,000 warrants for subscription of up to 240,000 ordinary shares of Gasol at an exercise price of 30p per share. The warrants can be exercised in whole or in part at any time up to 7 January 2014.

About Gasol plc

Gasol plc's strategy is to provide African gas for the next generation. Power stations in West Africa currently operate predominantly on liquid fuels such as diesel, light crude and jet fuel, but many of these plants are also capable of using gas. Gasol will initially supply these customers with gas from regasified Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG"), which can provide significant cost savings in the order of 20 to 30 per cent. This involves the delivery of LNG to a leased Floating Storage and Regasification Vessel, which will be berthed in Cotonou harbour, Benin and will supply the regasified LNG into the West African Gas Pipeline. The West African Gas Pipeline is a 678km gas pipeline involving an investment of over US$1 billion, built to transport gas from Nigeria to Benin, Togo and Ghana which has been operational since March 2011, but today operates at significantly less than full capacity. Once there is sufficient regional demand for gas, Gasol aims to develop captive gas reserves in offshore Nigeria and will supply this gas through the West African Gas Pipeline. This pipeline gas will be cheaper and therefore displace the LNG derived gas, resulting in further savings for customers

Gasol's shares have been listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM since 2005 with the ticker code "GAS". Further information on the Company is available at www.gasolplc.com
