Samson Oil & Gas (NYSEMKT: SSN; ASX: SSN):

Debt Facility

Samson Oil & Gas (NYSEMKT: SSN; ASX: SSN) advises that effective November 24, 2014 it executed, closed and updated its credit agreement with Mutual of Omaha Bank to increase the borrowing base of the reserve based lending facility to $19 million, increase the maximum available under the facility to $50 million and decrease the interest rate to 90 day LIBOR plus 3.25%, which is approximately 3.48%.

The original $25 million facility was initiated in January of this year and has a current balance of $15.5 million.

The additional borrowing base has been developed from the June 30, 2014 Proved Reserve report which was estimated by the Company’s independent reserve engineer to have a value of approximately $54.4 million based on a net present value calculation with 10% discount rate. No fees were paid in respect to this facility increase other than legal fees associated with the drafting of the documentation and a commitment fee based on the increase in the borrowing base.

Samson’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol "SSN." Samson's American Depository Shares (ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol "SSN." Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson. Samson has a total of 2,837 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding (including 230 million options exercisable at AUD 3.8 cents), which would be the equivalent of 141.85 million ADSs. Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.29 per ADS on November 25th, 2014 the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately US$42.2 million (the options have been valued at an exchange rate of 0.8593). Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.016 for ordinary shares and a closing price of A$0.008 for the 2017 options, on November 25th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately A$46.5 million.
