Subsequent Events	11. Subsequent Events On July 26, 2019, the share exchange transaction (the “Transaction”) with Stabilis Energy LLC (“Stabilis”) and its subsidiaries was completed. The Transaction and its related proposals, including a company name change and a reverse stock split, were approved by our stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders on July 17, 2019. On July 29, 2019, the company began operating under the name Stabilis Energy, Inc. and our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SLNG”. In addition, the company’s shares outstanding will reflect a one-for-eight reverse split. As a result of the reverse stock split, every eight shares of American Electric common stock outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split were combined into one share of Stabilis Energy, Inc. common stock. No fractional shares were issued. In lieu of fractional shares, cash was issued based on the closing price of American Electric common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 26, 2019. Unless otherwise noted, any share or per share amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to both the transaction and the reverse stock split. As a result of the completion of the share exchange, the former holders of Stabilis and its subsidiaries own 90% of the combined company and the former American Electric stockholders own 10% of the combined company. Approximately 14,645,917 shares of Stabilis Energy, Inc. common stock were issued and outstanding as a result of the completion of the share exchange and reverse stock split. Stabilis is a vertically integrated provider of small-scale liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) production, distribution and fueling services to multiple end markets in North America. Stabilis has safely delivered over 200 million gallons of LNG through more than 20,000 truck deliveries during its 15-year operating history, which it believes makes it one of the largest and most experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. Stabilis’ customers use LNG as a fuel source in a variety of applications in the industrial, energy, mining, utilities and pipelines, commercial, and high horsepower transportation markets. Stabilis’ customers use LNG as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil and propane, to lower fuel costs and reduce harmful environmental emissions. Stabilis’ customers also use LNG as a “virtual pipeline” solution when natural gas pipelines are not available or are curtailed. Stabilis is headquartered in Houston, Texas. On August 5, 2019, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Chart Industries, Inc. for the exchange of indebtedness of Stabilis LNG, a Company subsidiary, to Chart E&C in the principal amount of up to $7.0 million owed pursuant to a secured promissory note issued by Stabilis LNG to Chart E&C in September 2013, for shares of Common Stock in Stabilis Energy, Inc. This transaction is expected to close within 30 days, subject to both parties meeting certain closing conditions.
