US Natural Gas Corp Announces Filing of Form 15 to Suspend SEC Reporting Obligations

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- US Natural Gas Corp (OTCQB: UNGS), an energy exploration company with operations in the Appalachian Basin announced today that the Company has filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Upon such filing, the Company's obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including annual, quarterly, and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and Form 8-K, respectively, was immediately suspended.

The Company's Board of Directors made this decision after careful consideration and review of the cumulative costs and pros and cons of being an SEC registered company. The Company believes that currently the incremental cost of compliance with general SEC regulations and Sarbanes-Oxley and other reporting requirements does not provide a discernible benefit to the Company and its shareholders and is currently not commercially justifiable.

US Natural Gas Corp's stock, symbol UNGS, will continue to be traded on the OTC Markets. The company intends to continue to fulfill the reporting obligations as required by the OTC Markets to maintain its status as a "Current Information" company in an ongoing and timely fashion.

"The deregulation of our common stock is in no way an indication of our commitment to continue to implement our business model," said Wayne Anderson, President of US Natural Gas Corp.  "The prospects for the company remain bright as we continue to place both oil and natural gas producing wells into production."

"And while we will no longer be bound by the reporting obligations of the SEC, the company does intend to resume regular communications with the investment community as a stock traded on the OTC Markets," Anderson added.
