EGM Requisition by General Invest

Also on 15 April 2016 the Company received a proposal from General Invest, a 10.7% shareholder in PetroNeft, to call an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of the Company.

The EGM is being sought to consider resolutions in relation to the removal of five of the six current Board members (David Golder, Dennis Francis, Paul Dowling, David Sanders and Gerard Fagan) and to appoint David Sturt and Antonio Pititto to the Board as directors of the Company.

David Sturt has previously been nominated as a director by another shareholder, Natlata Partners Limited. General Invest has provided no biographical or other details in relation to Mr. Pititto or explanation of how the Company would be managed should the resolutions be successful.

Should an EGM be required under the Company's Articles of Association, notification of an EGM, together with the recommendation of the Board, will be posted to shareholders in due course.
