Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements. More particularly, this press release includes
forward-looking statements concerning, but not limited to:
Greenfields’ business strategy, objectives, strength and focus; and
the deferral of debt obligations and the ability to comply with
such obligations. In addition, the use of any of the words
“anticipated”, “scheduled”, “will”, “prior to”, “estimate”,
“believe”, “should”, “future”, “continue”, “expect”, “plan” and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein
are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the
Company, including, but not limited to, expectations and
assumptions concerning the success of optimization and efficiency
improvement projects, the availability of capital, current
legislation and regulatory regimes, receipt of required regulatory
approval, the success of future drilling and development
activities, the performance of existing wells, the performance of
new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required
equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity
prices. Although the Company believes that the expectations and
assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the
forward-looking statements because the Company can give no
assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Since forward-looking statements address future

risks and uncertainties most of which are beyond the control of
Greenfields. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking
information prove incorrect, actual results, performance or
achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied
by the forward-looking information. These risks include, but
are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry
in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and
production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration
or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of
reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections
relating to production, costs and expenses; and health, safety,
political and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange
rate fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas
industry and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or
changes in plans with respect to exploration or development
projects or capital expenditures. Additional risk factors can be
found under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent
management’s discussion and analysis, which may be viewed on
