Magellan Petroleum Regains Compliance With NASDAQ Listing Requirements

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - July 31, 2015) - On July 27, 2015, Magellan Petroleum Corporation ("Magellan" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MPET) (ASX: MGN) received formal notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. NASDAQ staff made this determination of compliance after the Company's bid price closed above $1.00 per share for the prior 10 consecutive business days.

NASDAQ had previously notified the Company of its non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) on January 27, 2015, following 30 consecutive business days for which the Company's closing bid price did not meet the $1.00 per share minimum requirement.

Tom Wilson, President and CEO of Magellan, commented, "The implementation of the recent reverse stock split was instrumental in enabling the Company to regain compliance with the NASDAQ listing rules. We believe that the Company's platform as a public entity carries certain intrinsic value and that shareholders benefit from the enhanced liquidity provided by the listing of the Company's shares on the NASDAQ."
