TIDMGPC RNS Number : 3396Y Genesis Petroleum Corporation PLC 01 September 2009 Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, in or into or from any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws or regulations of such jurisdiction. 1 September 2009 Recommended cash acquisition by Bayerngas Norge AS of Genesis Petroleum Corporation plc Court order sanctioning scheme and confirming reduction of capital The Directors of Genesis Petroleum Corporation plc ("Genesis") refer shareholders to the joint announcement made by Genesis and Bayerngas Norge AS ("Bayerngas") on 9 July 2009 about the recommended proposal (the "Proposal") for the acquisition of the whole of the issued and to be issued share capital of Genesis by Bayerngas to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme") and to the Scheme circular published on 17 July 2009 containing, inter alia, the terms of the Scheme, an Explanatory Statement (pursuant to Section 897 of the Companies Act 2006), notices of the required meetings, a timetable of principal events and details of the action to be taken by Genesis Shareholders (the "Scheme Document"). Any capitalised term used but not defined in this announcement is as defined in the Scheme Document. For the reasons set out in the Scheme Document, Genesis determined that there were two classes of Scheme Shareholder for the purposes of the Court Resolutions required to approve the Scheme: * The Voting Scheme Shareholders (being Scheme Shareholders other than PGS Overseas AS ("PGS")); and * PGS. At the Court Meeting on 10 August 2009, Voting Scheme Shareholders approved the Scheme without modification. PGS has also consented to and approved the PGS Court Resolution and the Scheme respectively. At the General Meeting, also held on 10 August 2009, Genesis Shareholders passed the proposed special resolution in connection with the Scheme, as set out in the notice of General Meeting dated 17 July 2009. The High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the "Court") today made an order sanctioning the Scheme and confirming the Reduction of Capital (the "Court Order") to effect the Proposal. It is intended that the Court Order will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales for registration effective on 2 September 2009. The Scheme will consequently become effective as soon as a copy of the Court Order has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and has been registered by him. Trading in Genesis ordinary shares on AIM has been temporarily suspended and admission of Genesis ordinary shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled with effect from 2 September 2009.

Further details in relation to overseas shareholders will be contained in the Scheme Document. Although the Company is incorporated in England, the Panel has determined that the place of central management and control of the Company is currently located outside of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Accordingly, as the Company is not one to which paragraph 3(a)(ii) of the City Code applies, the Panel has confirmed that the Company is not subject to the City Code and Genesis Shareholders will not be afforded any protection under the City Code. If circumstances change, which could result in the Company being subject to the City Code, the Company will consult with the Panel. If the Panel determines that, as a result of such changes, the City Code becomes applicable to the Company, an announcement will be made.
