Oando PLC Withdraws Proposed Resolutions at EGM

Oando, Nigeria’s leading indigenous energy group listed on both the Nigerian Stock Exchange and JSE Limited, at its Extra-Ordinary 
General Meeting (“EGM”) convened on Friday 12 October, 2012, withdrew all resolutions proposed thereat for deliberation (the “resolutions”) 
due to the uncertain nature of the underlying transactions to which they relate.

The company has adjourned the EGM, to a time in which it can readily disclose the additional information regarding the transactions
underlying the resolutions. Oando Management is currently unable to disclose the necessary information in respect of relevant
potential corporate actions due to counterparty confidentiality considerations, and as a result of the relevant potential transactions
being at different stages of maturity, some currently awaiting regulatory approval.

The Company had expected that before the date of the EGM the potential transactions would have progressed to a sufficient stage of
maturity to allow management to provide fulsome disclosure to all shareholders, and ensure an informed decision making process
prior to and at the EGM. Unfortunately, due to extensive negotiations around, and the documentation of, these potential transactions,
the Company is not yet in a position to provide such disclosure.

Commenting, HRM Oba Michael Adedotun Gbadebo, Chairman, Oando PLC said
“In the interests of transparency and good Corporate Governance the Board, and the directors proposing the said resolutions to the
Extra-Ordinary General Meeting, have withdrawn the resolutions pending exhaustive consultation with stakeholders and the provision
of more information subject to any limitation we may have in contract or law”.
