Annual Report and Accounts & Trading Update

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc provides the following update in relation to its Annual Report and Accounts and trading position.

Annual Report and Accounts

VOG announces that its Annual Report and Accounts to 31 December 2021 will not be published in advance of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") being held today at 11.00 a.m. given the financial uncertainty that the Company is in as a result of the Partial Final Award to RSM Production Corporation ("RSM") by the ICC, as announced on 4 April 2022. This resulted in the temporary suspension of the Company's shares. The Company continues its discussions with RSM with a view to agreeing a post award settlement that would enable resolution of the financial uncertainty facing the Company, the audit to be finalised, the Annual Report posted to shareholders and the suspension of shares to be lifted. Included in these ongoing discussions is the proposed procedure for resolution of costs and attorney's fees.
