MEDIA RELEASE
WESTRALIAN GAS AND POWER LAUNCHES
U.S. DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
10 June 2008
Westralian Gas and Power is pleased to announce that its Level One American Depositary
Receipt (ADR) program has been declared eligible by the US Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Bank of New York Mellon was appointed as the depositary bank for the
ADR program.
A Level One ADR program facilitates the purchase of Westralian Gas and Power shares by
US investors. It will increase the profile of the company with US investors particularly as it is
seeking to expand its existing oil production in Kentucky.
Under the program, one ADR is equivalent to 200 ordinary shares of Westralian Gas and
Power. The ADRs trade in the US over-the-counter (OTC) market under the ADR trading
symbol WGPRY and the CUSIP number is 961436102.
About ADRs
ADRs are commonly used to facilitate US investors investing in foreign companies not listed
in the USA. An ADR is created when a broker purchases a company’s shares on the home
stock market and delivers those to the depositary’s local custodian bank, which then instructs
the depositary bank, Bank of New York Mellon, to issue depositary receipts. Depositary
receipts may be traded freely, just like any other security, in the over-the-counter market.
About Westralian Gas and Power Limited
Westralian Gas and Power Limited (WGP) was Western Australia’s first publicly-listed energy
exploration company to focus on proving-up economic reserves of coal seam methane gas in
its onshore petroleum permits in the South-West of Western Australia. The company also
has an interest in significant areas for conventional oil and gas in the offshore Perth Basin.
These areas are presently in joint-venture arrangements with ROC Oil Limited. In the USA,
the company continues to operate a small oil field in Kentucky.
