(2) These shares are the matching shares purchased by the 2.Company twelve months ago and are now vested to the shareholder.

As previously announced, under the ESSP, employees may use up to 10% of their salary (matched equally by the Company) to purchase Bankers Petroleum shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on each pay period (mid-month and month-end). David French, Douglas Urch and Suneel Gupta elected to participate in the plan, with a participation level of 10% of each of their respective salaries.

It is expected that the next quarterly announcement in respect of purchases under the ESSP will be made on or around April 4, 2016.
