CALGARY, ALBERTA June 10, 2014 – Oando Energy Resources Inc. (“Oando Energy Resources” or
the “Company”) (TSX: OER), a company focused on oil and gas exploration and production in
Nigeria, today announced that, further to its press release dated April 9, 2014, OER also announces
that it has extended the availability period of the US$450 million senior secured facility agreement
arranged by a group of international banks including Standard Chartered Bank (acting as Facility
Agent and Security Agent), BNP Paribas and Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (the “RBL”) to
August 31, 2014.

The RBL is a 5.5 year facility which amortises quarterly with an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus
8.5%. Proceeds from the RBL are intended to be used to fund a portion of the purchase price for
the ConocoPhillips Acquisition.

All terms and conditions under the initial executed binding documentation remain unchanged.

The company also increased its deposit with ConocoPhilips by $25 million on May 30, 2014,
pursuant to the terms of our executed amendment agreement with ConocoPhilips dated April 30,
2014 as disclosed on April 30, 2014. OER has in total paid a $550 million deposit to ConocoPhilips
for this acquisition to date.
