Misen Energy AB (publ) comments on the articles in Expressen published on 25-26 June 2014

Expressen has on 25-26 June 2014 published articles about the Misen Group. The articles contain incorrect information that could be misleading to investors.

Misen’s Joint Activity (JA) Agreement in Ukraine concerns the capital renovation and improvement of a number of production wells and construction of booster compressor stations. This is achieved by providing modern technology in order to increase production. Misen is responsible for securing financing for this upgrade. In consideration, Misen is entitled to half (50.01%) of the net profit after taxes of the increase in production of natural gas above the base line (compared to a scenario when nothing had been done).

This information and further details on the JA cooperation is and have been available on Misen’s website (http://www.misenenergy.se/en/main/business/agreement) and has been presented in Misen’s financial reports (also available at http://www.misenenergy.se). Expressen has clearly misunderstood the nature and terms of the JA.
To assess the viability of the JA, Misen in 2013 commissioned an independent Competent Persons Report which concluded on the following net reserves and resources attributable to Misen as a member of the JA for all projects included for the 2013- 2030 development period: 1P (available proven) and 2P (proven and probable) to constitute 14.065 and 17.157 billion cubic meters, respectively. This information has been previously communicated in a press release on 6 September 2013, as well as in the following financial reports: the Interim Report published on 29 November 2013, the audited Annual Report published on 8 April 2014 and the Interim Report published on 27 May 2014.

A list of Misen’s shareholders is available on the company’s website (http://misenenergy.se/en/main/investors/shareholders). As regards the information in Expressen’s article on what is said to be ultimate beneficial shareholders in Misen, the company, like any listed company, has no means to establish ownership structures behind the shareholders. Misen complies with all relevant legislation and stock exchange requirements concerning information on its shareholders.
