London, United Kingdom; Calgary, Canada: April 19, 2022 - Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited ("COPL" or the "Company") (XOP: CSE) & (COPL: LSE), an international oil and gas exploration, production and development company with production and development operations focused in Converse and Natrona Counties, Wyoming, USA, is pleased to announce (the "Announcement"):

·    COPL's affiliate, COPL America Inc., has signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire the assets of Cuda Energy LLC ("Cuda") (the "Acquisition");

·   The Company has signed a US$20,000,000 bridge loan term sheet (the "Loan") from a UK/US based Institution (the "Investor") to finance COPL America Inc's cash consideration of this strategic acquisition; and

·   It is COPL's intention to conduct an accelerated bookbuild to raise net proceeds of approximately US$10,000,000 by way of a placing (the "Placing") of, and subscription for, new common shares of nil par value in the Company ("Placing Shares").

Cuda Acquisition Highlights

·    Cuda is a private oil and gas company incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming, it is currently in receivership under the Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, which proceeding has been recognized in the U.S. under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

·    Cuda's sole assets are a non-operating interest in: the Barron Flats Shannon Unit (27% WI); and in the Barron Flats Federal (Deep) Unit, Cole Creek Unit and non-unitized lands (27.5%-33.333% WI), complimentary to COPL America Inc's assets.

o The Shannon Unit is a miscible flood unit, the Deep Unit is an exploratory unit, the Cole Creek Unit is a production/exploration Unit and the non-unit lands are exploration. A COPL America Inc subsidiary is the existing operator of all Cuda leasehold and Unit Operating Agreements and made a bid for the assets of Cuda.

·    COPL America Inc. submitted bids on the Cuda assets in a sales process mandated by a Receivership Order on Cuda and its affiliates, including its parent, Cuda Oil and Gas Inc, by the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta Canada and a Chapter 15 Recognition Order for Cuda by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Wyoming (the" Courts").

·    COPL America Inc. has signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") with the Receiver for Cuda appointed by the Courts. The PSA is subject to the approval of the Courts and as such the Receiver will shortly be filing an Approval and Vesting Order with the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta for a hearing scheduled on April 29, 2022 and a US Sale Recognition Order with the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Wyoming.

·    Closing of this Acquisition is expected to occur by the mid of June 2022

·   The total consideration for the acquisition is a combination of cash and credit. COPL America Inc will finance the cash component of the acquisition solely with cash provided by the Loan entered into by the Company.  The total consideration implies a highly attractive valuation of c. 90% of the working interest adjusted Atomic Oil and Gas LLC acquisition last year in a currently high oil price environment.

·   Adds unhedged production and exposure to the current high oil price environment and approximately doubles COPL's corporate cash flow.

·    Increases COPL's 2P reserves by 47% from ¹25.8 million barrels to 38.2 million barrels. (COPL December 31, 2021 NI-51-101 Reserves)

·    Provides significant leverage to COPL increasing the Company's NPV10 (47% working interest adjusted) by USD122,000,000, from ¹USD258,000,000 to USD380,000,000. (COPL December 31, 2021 NI-51-101 Reserves)

·    12.5% interest per annum fixed coupon, payable on the Maturity Date (6 months).

·    7% implementation fee deducted from proceeds.

·   Two Year common share purchase warrants representing 50% of the Convertible Loan Drawdown will be issued to the Investor, exercisable at the Convert Price.

·    Bullet repayment in cash together with outstanding interest on the Maturity Date.

·    The Note will be secured by fixed and floating liens on all assets of the Company. COPL America Holding, Inc. will guaranty the Company's obligations under the Note, subject to the Investor and the Company's existing senior lender entering into mutually acceptable inter-creditor arrangements.

·    Drawdown is conditional on entering into definitive documentation and customary closing conditions including, completion of due diligence, requisite approvals from COPL America Inc's Senior Lender, which are underway.

·    Proposed Fundraising Highlights

·    COPL proposed placing of new ordinary shares in the Company to raise net proceeds of approximately US$10,000,000. The total number of Placing Shares is expected to represent approximately 20% of the Company's existing issued share capital as the date of this Announcement.

·    The Placing is conducted through an accelerated book building process (the "Book Build") which will commence immediately following this Announcement in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix. The placing price will be determined at the close of the Book Build.

Further, pricing and allocations are at the absolute discretion of the Bookrunners and the Company. Details will be announced as soon as partible after the close of the Book Build.

·    The net proceeds of the Placing, in conjunction with COPL's other financial resources, are intended to be used for facility upgrades and drilling activities, and for general working capital purposes.

Arthur Millholland, President & CEO, commented:

"The Cuda acquisition is a significant growth milestone for COPL and a deal we have been in hot pursuit of for some months. We have secured it on attractive and highly accretive terms. We are funding it with a bridge loan. The convertible nature of the bridge loan allows the company to refinance our current credit facility and thus reduce our cost of capital. Over the coming months it is our intention to now pursue attractively priced Reserve Based Lending ('RBL') debt with which to refinance all debt currently supporting and carried by our Wyoming assets (and including the bridge loan if necessary). We remain fortunate to have a strong and supportive equity ownership base. We are taking this opportunity to ensure they can participate in our future expected success and fund the proposed expansionary capex that will be associated with our new and increased ownership in our flagship assets."

About the Company:

COPL is an international oil and gas exploration, development and production company actively pursuing opportunities in the United States with operations in Converse County Wyoming, and in sub-Saharan Africa through its ShoreCan joint venture company in Nigeria, and independently in other countries.

Caution regarding forward looking statements 

This news release contains forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "initial, "scheduled", "can", "will", "prior to", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "should", "forecast", "future", "continue", "may", "expect", 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, the ability to raise the necessary funding for operations, delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures. 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 since the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties most of which are beyond the control of Canadian Overseas Petroleum Ltd. For example, the uncertainty of reserve estimates, the uncertainty that the Bridge Loan Funding will complete the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, cost overruns, health and safety issues, political and environmental risks, commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas industry could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.  Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and Canadian Overseas Petroleum undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

Placees are referred to these terms and conditions and this announcement containing details of, inter alia, the Placing. These terms and conditions and this announcement have been prepared and issued by the Company, and is the sole responsibility of the Company.

The new Common Shares issued under the Placing, when issued and fully paid, will be identical to, and rank pari passu with, the existing Common Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the existing Common Shares after the Settlement Date, save that they will not be admitted to trading on the standard listing segment of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities until the date of Admission (as defined below).

Applications will be made to the FCA for the Placing Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission") only after the Company has published a new prospectus approved by the FCA in connection with such applications. It is expected that a prospectus will be published and Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence in late June2022 and in any event within twelve months of settlement.

 Bookbuild of the Placing

Commencing today, the Joint Broker will be conducting the Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Placing. The Joint Brokers will seek to procure Placees as agent for the Company as part of this Bookbuild. These terms and conditions give details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.

Principal terms of the Bookbuild

(a)           By participating in the Placing, Placees will be deemed to have read and understood this announcement and these terms and conditions in their entirety and to be participating and making an offer for any Placing Shares on these terms and conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements and undertakings, contained in these terms and conditions.

(b)           The Joint Brokers are arranging the Placing as agents of the Company.

(d)           Any offer to subscribe for Placing Shares should state the aggregate number of Placing Shares which the Placee wishes to acquire or the total monetary amount which it wishes to commit to acquire Placing Shares at the Placing Price which is ultimately established by the Company and the Joint Brokers or at a price up to a price limit specified in its bid. The Placing Price will be jointly agreed between the Joint Brokers and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild and will be payable by Placees in respect of the Placing Shares allocated to them.

(e)           The Bookbuild is expected to close on 19 April 2022 but may close earlier or later, at the discretion of the Joint Brokers and the Company. The timing of the closing of the books and allocations will be agreed between the Joint Brokers and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild (the "Allocation Policy"). The Joint Brokers may, in agreement with the Company, accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

(f)            An offer to subscribe for Placing Shares in the Bookbuild will be made on the basis of these terms and conditions and will be legally binding on the Placee by which, or on behalf of which, it is made and will not be capable of variation or revocation after the close of the Bookbuild.

(g)           Subject to paragraph (e) above, the Joint Brokers reserve the right not to accept an offer to subscribe for Placing Shares, either in whole or in part, on the basis of the Allocation Policy and may scale down any offer to subscribe for Placing Shares for this purpose.

(h)           If successful, each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to it by the relevant Joint Broker following the close of the Bookbuild. Oral or written confirmation (at the relevant Joint Broker's discretion) from the relevant Joint Broker to such Placee confirming its allocation will constitute a legally binding commitment upon such Placee, in favour of the relevant Joint Broker and the Company to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it on the terms and conditions set out herein. Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Company, to pay to  the relevant Joint Broker (or as the relevant Joint Broker may direct) as agent for the Company in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares which such Placee has agreed to acquire.

(i)            The Company will make a further announcement following the close of the Bookbuild detailing the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares to be issued (the "Placing Results Announcement"). It is expected that such Placing Results Announcement will be made as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

(j)            Subject to paragraphs (g) and (h) above, the Joint Brokers reserve the right not to accept bids or to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at the Joint Brokers' discretion and may scale down any bids as the Joint Brokers may determine, subject to agreement with the Company. The acceptance of bids shall be at the Joint Brokers' absolute discretion, subject to agreement with the Company.

(k)           Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the time specified, on the basis explained below under the paragraph entitled "Registration and Settlement".

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of the Joint Brokers under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional on, amongst other things, the Company having complied with its obligations under the Placing Agreement (to the extent that such obligations fall to be performed prior to Admission).

The Joint Brokers, at their discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, may waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this announcement.

Neither the Joint Brokers nor the Company nor any other person shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or the date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally, and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Brokers.

Admission is not a condition to the Placing.

The Joint Brokers are entitled at any time before the Settlement Date, to terminate the Placing Agreement in relation to its obligations in respect of the Placing Shares by giving notice to the Company if, amongst other things:

(a)             the Company fails, in any material respect, to comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement; or

(b)             it comes to the notice of the Joint Brokers that any statement contained in this announcement was untrue, incorrect or misleading at the date of this announcement or has become untrue, incorrect or misleading in each case in any respect which the Joint Brokers reasonably considers to be material in the context of the Placing or that any matter which the Joint Brokers reasonably considers to be material in the context of the Placing has arisen which would, if the Placing were made at that time, constitute a material omission therefrom; or

Placing Procedure

Placees shall acquire the Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and any allocation of the Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be notified to them on or around 19 April 2022 (or such other time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Brokers may agree).

Payment in full for any Placing Shares so allocated in respect of the Placing at the Placing Price must be made by no later than 22 April 2022 (or such other date as shall be notified to each Placee by the Joint Brokers). A Joint Broker or the Company will notify Placees if any of the dates in these terms and conditions should change.

Registration and Settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares will take place through depositary interests ("DIs") within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. The Joint Brokers and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction. Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with the Joint Brokers.

Settlement for the Placing will be on a T+2 and delivery versus payment basis and settlement is expected to take place on or around 22 April 2022 ("Settlement Date"). Interest is chargeable daily on payments to the extent that value is received after the due date from Placees at the rate of 2 percentage points above prevailing LIBOR. Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Brokers may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to it on its behalf and retain from the proceeds, for its own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on the Joint Brokers all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the Joint Brokers lawfully take in pursuance of such sale. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon any transaction in the Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

Such agreement assumes that such Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer such Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there were any such arrangements, or the settlement related to other dealing in such Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which none of the Company nor the Joint Brokers would be responsible and Placees shall indemnify the Company, the Joint Brokers on an after-tax basis for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax paid by them in respect of any such arrangements or dealings.

If this is the case, it would be sensible for Placees to take their own advice and they should notify the Joint Brokers accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares.
