Corporate Update

In update to the 12 December, 2019 release, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the "Court") issued its Order as expected and appointed Messrs Alexander Lawson, Christopher Kennedy and Ms Wing Sze Tiffany Wong of Alvarez & Marsal as Joint Provisional Liquidators ("JPLs").

The JPLs are independent officers of the Court. The primary roles of the JPLs are, broadly, to preserve and protect the Company's assets and identify any opportunities which may exist to restructure or refinance the Company.

The JPLs have until 5(th) February 2020 to explore such possibilities and prepare a report to the Court as to the likelihood of a viable restructuring. The JPLs are expected to undertake this process in consultation with the Company's existing management and other key stakeholders including the Receivers. During this eight-week period, and until further order of the Court, the existing board of directors and management of the Company shall remain in office and may exercise, with the oversight of the JPLs, those powers conferred upon it by the Company.

Effective immediately, the Company has changed its reporting yearend to 31(st) March of each year. As such, the audited report for 2019 shall be published for a fifteen-month period ending 31(st) March, 2020.

Mr. Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman of G3 Exploration commented, "The Group is focused on providing the JPLs all the necessary support and facilitating their conclusions to the Court timely on or before 5 February, 2019. We continue to work on our refinancing objectives concurrently.

The change in fiscal yearend to March will facilitate the expected material transactions to be concluded and financials reflected fairly."
