As
previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 14, 2020, trading in the common stock (the “Common Stock”)
of Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on The Nasdaq Capital Market was suspended at the opening of business
on May 18, 2020. In addition, effective May 18, 2020, the Common Stock commenced trading on the Over-the-Counter OTCQB Venture
Market tier (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol SYNE. The Company continues to remain a reporting company under the Securities

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
current report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements that are not strictly historical statements
constitute forward-looking statements and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “expects,”
“believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “potential,”
“possible,” or “probable” or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “will,”
“should,” or “could” be taken, occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements include statements
about future operations and the anticipated timing for closing the proposed merger. Forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations and assumptions and analyses made by the Company and Australian Future Energy Pty Ltd (“AFE”) in light
of experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors
appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with expectations is subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the possibility that the companies may be unable to obtain
stockholder approval or satisfy the other conditions to closing. The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2019, recent current reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings discuss some of the important risk factors identified
that may affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. The Company and AFE undertake no obligation to revise
or update publicly any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Additional
Information about the AFE Transaction
In
connection with the proposed transaction, the Company has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include
a proxy statement of the Company that also constitutes a prospectus of the Company relating to the Common Stock to be issued pursuant
to the merger with AFE (the “Merger”). The proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about both the
Company and AFE. The Company also plans to file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction. INVESTORS
AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT
DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY,
AFE AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders may obtain these documents when available free of charge at the
SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed with the SEC by the Company can be obtained free of charge
from the Company’s website at www.synthesisenergysystems.com.

of the Company in respect of the proposed transaction. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers
is available in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on January 13, 2020.
