EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to update the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (“Gran Tierra”) on May 4, 2017 (the “Original Form
8-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to report the final voting results of Gran Tierra’s 2017 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this amendment is to
disclose Gran Tierra’s decision regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named
executive officers. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to information contained in the Original
Form 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting,
in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors, Gran Tierra’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis,
“Every Year” as the preferred frequency of solicitation of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of Gran Tierra’s
named executive officers. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation, the Board of Directors determined that
future advisory votes on named executive compensation will be held every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency
of stockholder votes on the compensation of named executive officers, which Gran Tierra expects to hold no later than its 2023
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
