("Phoenix" or the "Company")

Interoil Demerger

On 7 November 2017 the Company announced how it proposed to implement the Interoil Demerger and the associated reduction of capital. In view of the duration between the Interoil Demerger Record Time (6.00 p.m. on 8 August 2017) and the Interoil Demerger ex dividend date (15 December 2017), in order to simplify procedures and avoid the potential complexity of reconciling market claims since 8 August 2017, it is intended that the Exchangeable GuernseyCo Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the Interoil Demerger Distribution will be issued directly to Shareholders on the Phoenix Register at 7.00 a.m. on 15 December 2017. The directors therefore intend to include Shareholders who have acquired Phoenix Shares arising from the exercise of warrants over Phoenix Shares between the Interoil Demerger Record Time and the Interoil ex dividend date pursuant to the authorities sought in the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held on 23 November 2017 if such Resolutions are passed.

Excluded from the issue of the Exchangeable GuernseyCo Shares will be US Phoenix Shareholders and Other US Phoenix Shareholders. As a result of the Interoil Demerger Record Time being 8 August 2017, Mercuria Energy Asset Management B.V. and its affiliated company Upstream Capital Partners VI Limited will not participate in the Interoil Demerger in respect of Phoenix Shares which they have acquired after the Interoil Demerger Record Time.
