Notes to Editors

 

In October 2014 the Company acquired the entire issued capital of Ardan Logistics Kenya ("Ardan"), a cash generative support services business which generated unaudited revenues for the six month period ended 30 June 2014 of $20.6 million and which has an established client list of major international oil & gas and mining companies operating in East Africa (the "Acquisition"). Today's change of name reflects the Company's transition from holding a minority stake to taking operational control.

 

Atlas Development's three core divisions are delineated as follows:

 

· Atlas Technical: civil engineering, workforce accommodation and construction

· Atlas Services: medical and facilities management

· Atlas Logistics: fuel solutions, storage and transportation

 

Through these three core divisions, Atlas Development provides turn-key support for a range of major oil & gas exploration and development companies operating across East Africa. The market opportunity for a company such as Atlas Development remains highly attractive, and the Board believe there is considerable opportunity to leverage the Company's established position to further capitalise of the rapidly growing oil & gas exploration and development industry in Kenya.

 

The Company announced on 13 October 2014, that it intends to dual list on the Growth Enterprise Market Segment of the Nairobi Securities Exchange (the 'Kenyan Listing'), by way of an introduction and private placing of up to 10% of the Company's enlarged share capital, such private placing being offered solely in Kenya. Completion of the Kenyan Listing will make Atlas Development the first AIM listed company to join the Kenyan exchange and will mark a further important step in the Company's development as it looks to expand its existing support services business in East Africa.
