("Xcite Energy" or the "Company")

Application to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada

Xcite Energy announces that further to its voluntary delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange (Venture) with effect from 30 September 2015 it has applied to the Alberta Securities Commission, as principal regulator, and the securities regulatory authority or regulator in each of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador for a decision that it is no longer a reporting issuer in Canada.

If the application is approved and Xcite Energy is no longer a reporting issuer in Canada, the Company will no longer be required to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

A decision to permit Xcite Energy to cease reporting in Canada will not affect Xcite Energy's trading on AIM or reporting obligations in the United Kingdom. In this regard, Canadian security holders will continue to have access to all financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents required to be filed by the Company in the United Kingdom pursuant to its quotation on the AIM market. All continuous disclosure documents of the Company are available on the Company's website at www.xcite-energy.com.
