Misen Energy AB (publ) signs new amendment to Joint Activity Agreement

In May 2015, Misen Energy AB (publ) received a final approval from the Ukrainian State authorities with regard to the Amendment No.7 to the Joint Activity Agreement (“JAA”) that was signed by the Joint Activity (“JA”) participants in late March 2015. The Amendment No.7 alters the scope of the JAA and adjusts and extends implementation of the investment program agreed by the parties of the JA.

The key modifications of the JAA as agreed by the Amendment No.7 are:

• Seven projects have been excluded from the investment program, making the total number of the investment projects under the JAA 15.
• Eleven projects have been reviewed and their investment programs have been adjusted and rescheduled.
• Four projects remain unchanged.
• Due to decreased scope of the JAA, the total amount of the investment program has been reduced to MUSD 571.
• The implementation of the investment program has been extended till 31 December 2018.

Among the principal changes made to the JAA, the following specific items may be noted:

• The total number of well workovers has been reduced to 110 (from previously planned 145);
• The total number of Booster Compressor Stations (“BCS”) to be constructed under the JAA has been reduced to 12 (from previously planned 13);
• Misen Enterprises AB’s commitment to facilitate additional financing to JA, when required, has been agreed to stay at the original amount of UAH 3 billion (approximately SEK 1.2 billion at the current exchange rate);
• Additional fields have been included into the operations of Khrestyshchenska BCS, yielding an increase to net production volumes attributable to the JA;
• Construction of additional supporting infrastructure has been agreed at Khrestyshchenska BCS to facilitate extraction of propane, butane and gas condensate fractions.

By a separate protocol, the Management Committee of the JA agreed to extend the Misen Enterprises AB’s obligation to contribute KUSD 12,516 (KSEK 80,685) to the JA till 31 December 2015.

In 2011, Misen Energy AB (publ) acquired Misen Enterprises AB and its Ukrainian subsidiary, LLC Karpatygaz, including the rights to 50.01% of the revenue and profit from a gas production project in Ukraine. Under IFRS rules, this transaction is classified as a reverse takeover. In consideration of the acquisition, a new share issue was carried out.
