Company raises $25m on admission.

R to L Deirdre Somers CEO Irish Stock Exchange welcomes Philip O'Quigley, CEO Falcon Oil and Gas to the Irish stock exchangeR to L Deirdre Somers CEO Irish Stock Exchange welcomes Philip O'Quigley, CEO Falcon Oil and Gas to the Irish stock exchangeThe Irish Stock Exchange (“ISE”) welcomes Falcon Oil and Gas Ltd (“Falcon”) to the Enterprise Securities Market (“ESM”), the Irish Stock Exchange’s market for growth companies.

Falcon is an international oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets. The Group’s head office is located in Dublin and its principal interests are located in two major underexplored basins in Australia and South Africa; and in Hungary.

Falcon raised gross proceeds of US$25m on admission and has commenced trading on the ESM, with a market capitalisation of €131.8m. Falcon is the first company to be quoted on the Irish market which has an existing listing in Canada on the Toronto Ventures Exchange (TSXV). Its admission to the ISE’s ESM coincides with its admission to AIM in London.

The admission of Falcon to the ISE brings the number of companies quoted on the ESM market to 24. Falcon’s ESM ticker symbol is FAC.

Philip O’Quigley, speaking at the ISE said that the capital raised from this placing would allow Falcon to pursue its strategy of building on its internationally diversified portfolio of unconventional oil and gas assets. He added that “the ISE’s international membership base and the facilitation of a euro quotation enables Falcon to attract euro-based private and institutional investors from Ireland and overseas. With our corporate location now firmly based in Dublin, a quotation in Ireland makes sense and should enhance the profile of Falcon among the international investment community.”

Deirdre Somers, said: “We are delighted to welcome Falcon to the ISE’s ESM market. The ISE’s membership base includes a network of Irish and international investment banks and stockbroking firms which will facilitate the delivery of direct order flow and strong liquidity in Falcon’s shares on the Irish market. We look forward building a strong relationship with Falcon in the future.”

Davy is acting as ESM Advisor to Falcon.

New initiative will be an essential step in identifying

the challenges facing mid-size companies.

The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) has today welcomed the recommendation in the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs to develop proposals to help Irish companies to grow and build scale through the IPO route to become the successful publicly-quoted companies of the future.

ISE Chief Executive Deirdre Somers said the new initiative will be an essential step in identifying the challenges facing mid-size companies and creating the next generation of heavyweight Irish publicly-quoted companies.

“Ireland needs more success stories such as Ryanair, Kerry Group and Paddy Power – high-quality, scalable businesses that can create jobs and help Ireland recover. This new initiative will help Ireland to address the IPO challenge,” said Ms Somers.

“Scale matters. Over 90% of employment growth in companies takes place post-IPO. We rightly applaud successful indigenous companies when they conclude a trade sale to a foreign buyer - but there is much more to be gained for the Irish economy if some of these companies can become leading publicly-quoted companies in their own right”.

Ms Somers, who has been calling for Government action on this issue for some time, said she looked forward to making a positive contribution to support the initiative.

“Until now, there has been a common view that almost every Irish high-potential company will be sold to a trade buyer – but that must change. There will be clear benefits to the Irish economy if we can implement specific measures that will support more Irish companies in their efforts to achieve scale.

“Markets go through cycles and they will rebound. We need to have Irish companies ready to benefit from this.”

Ms Somers said Enterprise Ireland has achieved great success in developing home-grown businesses and that its skills and expertise will be crucial in helping companies achieve scale in the years ahead.

“Ireland is one of the best countries in the world to start and develop a business and Enterprise Ireland deserves great credit for its efforts. We must build on this to create more companies that have scale and importance on a global stage. We would like Ireland to be one of the best countries in the world to grow a business. If we succeed, these companies will contribute to our economy for decades to come.”
