(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Matra Petroleum AB (publ) ("Matra Petroleum" or the "Company") has been approved
for listing on Nasdaq First North. Trading in Matra Petroleum's shares is
planned to commence on 20 April 2017 under the ticker symbol "MATRA". In
connection to the listing of the Company shares on Nasdaq First North the
Company has prepared a company description (the "Company Description") which as
of today is available on Matra Petroleum's website, www.matrapetroleum.com and
on Mangold Fondkommission's website www.mangold.se.
The listing on Nasdaq First North
Matra Petroleum believes that the significant decline in the crude oil and gas
prices between 2014 and 2016, opens up opportunities for companies with access
to capital to acquire and develop low-risk producing oil and gas assets with
attractive risk/return characteristics. Matra Petroleum considers that the
listing will offer the Company and its shareholders a number of benefits,
including:
* Support for the Company's objective to develop and acquire producing oil and
gas properties going forward;
* Enhancing the profile of Matra Petroleum's business and status with existing
and potential business partners;
* Improved access to the capital market and liquidity for the Company's
shareholders; and
* Increased flexibility in reviewing and capitalizing on growth opportunities.
