                                Update on Moroccan industry review

Vivo Energy notes an announcement in Morocco with the conclusions of the ad-hoc committee
(“Committee”) formed by the Royal Cabinet to review the procedural elements of the Conseil de la
Concurrence’s (“CDC”) investigation of the fuel marketing industry.

The Committee concluded that the CDC investigation “was marked by numerous procedural
irregularities” and experienced “an obvious deterioration in the climate of deliberations”. A new
President has now been appointed to lead the CDC. The full announcement can be found at:

Vivo Energy Maroc continues to believe that it has conducted its operations in accordance with
applicable competition laws, rules and regulations at all times.
