CAMAC Energy Closes $100 Million Credit Facility

New five-year facility provides development capital

HOUSTON, Texas – September 8, 2014 - CAMAC Energy Inc. (JSE: CME) announced today that its
wholly owned subsidiary, CAMAC Petroleum Limited, has entered into a credit facility with Zenith Bank Plc
for a five-year senior secured term loan providing initial borrowing capacity of up to $100 million. U.S. dollar
borrowings under the term loan facility will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 7.5%, subject to a floor of
9.5%. The security package for the term loan facility includes a legal charge over OMLs 120 and 121 and
an assignment of proceeds from oil sales.

Proceeds from the term loan facility will be used for the further expansion and development of OMLs 120
and 121 offshore Nigeria, including the Oyo Field.

Management Comments

"This new credit facility provides CAMAC Energy flexible funding at a reasonable cost to continue
development of the Oyo Field,” said Earl W. McNiel, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
CAMAC Energy. “The dramatic increases in production and cash flow we expect to achieve at Oyo will
drive near-term growth and enable us to pursue our high-impact exploration program.”
