("Nostra Terra" or the "Company")

Statement re: Requisitions to Convene a General Meeting

Nostra Terra wishes to notify shareholders that the loan agreement entered into between the Company's subsidiary, New Horizons Energy 1 LLC ("New Horizons"), and Washington Federal Bank ("WAFB") (the "Loan Agreement"), as announced on 8 January 2018, contains a number of customary negative covenants, one of which relates to the ongoing appointment of Matt Lofgran as President of New Horizons (the "key man clause").

The key man clause stipulates that New Horizons must obtain written consent from WAFB prior to Matt Lofgran ceasing to be President of New Horizons. Otherwise New Horizons will have 30 days to remedy the situation or it will be in default of the Loan Agreement and the outstanding principal and interest will immediately become due.

In the event Matt Lofgran is voted off the Board at the Company's forthcoming General Meeting, there is no guarantee that Mr Lofgran would remain as an employee of the Nostra Terra group, and therefore as President of New Horizons. Accordingly, the Company's Board at such time would seek the written consent of WAFB to waive the key man clause, however there is a risk that this would not be given.
