Pursuant to the agreement with Lion, Africa Oil will acquire, by way of a plan of arrangement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lion in consideration for 0.20 Africa Oil shares for each common share of Lion. Any options or warrants to purchase common shares of Lion that are outstanding on completion of the acquisition will be replaced or amended to entitle the holder to acquire common shares of Africa Oil, with the number of shares to be acquired and the exercise price each adjusted to reflect the ratio of 0.20 shares of Africa Oil for each 1.0 share of Lion.

The cash portion of the deal will further strengthen our balance sheet to allow us to fully fund the upcoming aggressive exploration drilling campaign."
