Gasol repays BBH funding facility

The Board of Gasol announces that it has agreed to repay the convertible loan facility provided by GS Banque SA ("GSB") (formerly Banque Benedict Hentsch & Cie SA).

The loan facility was first provided by GSB in January 2010, and was last renewed for a 12 month period in December 2013 when half of the then maturing principal was repaid. At GSB's request the whole of the bond principal amount of GBP364,437.76, together with all accrued interest, is being repaid in cash.

Alan Buxton, Chief Operating Officer at Gasol, said: "We would like to thank GS Banque for their continued support of Gasol, through their provision of the loan facility, over the last four years."

About Gasol plc

Gasol plc is an AIM listed energy development company focusing on gas constrained nations. 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 leased Floating Storage and Regasification Facilities which will be positioned 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.

As part of a consortium called Electrogas Malta, Gasol has also been awarded a LNG-to-power project by Malta's state power utility Enemalta, as the country aims to lower its energy costs. Electrogas Malta is a consortium made up of Gasol, SOCAR Trading SA, GEM Holdings Ltd and Siemens Project Ventures, the equity financial arm of Siemens Financial Services.

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