NOTICE

(a)     

Notice is hereby given, in accordance with Section 4.8 of National Instrument 51-102, that Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) intends to change its year end from June 30 to July 31;

 

(b)     

The change of the financial year end from June 30 to July 31 results from longer than expected completion of an agreement executed by the Company in May 2014. The timing of various transactions forming components of the agreement, mainly associated with the public registration of asset ownership transfers in Panama, led to delays in accounting for the subject sale and corresponding delays with respect to the receipt of funds pursuant to the agreement. These various delays have had the effect of deferring works related to the Company’s year end audit.

 

(c)     

the Company's old financial year end was June 30;

 

(d)     

the Company's new financial year end is July 31;
