Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this news release contain forward-looking information, which involves inherent
risk and uncertainty affecting the business of Primeline. These statements relate to Primeline’s belief that it will be successful
in obtaining an injunction restraining CNOOC and CCL from giving effect to the purported termination of the Petroleum Contract
25/34 on January 15, 2018, that it will ultimately be successful in the CNOOC Arbitration, and that Primeline’s banking Syndicate
will not demand immediate repayment of all amounts owed under the project facility. Although these statements are based on
assumptions management believes to be reasonable, actual results may vary from those anticipated in such statements. Primeline may
not obtain the injunction it is seeking, and if not CNOOC and CCL’s termination of Petroleum Contract 25/34 as of January 15, 2008
will be effective. If Primeline does obtain the injunction it is seeking, it may nevertheless ultimately be unsuccessful in
the CNOOC Arbitration. If it is successful, Primeline may not be able to enforce the award of the arbitral tribunal. In
any of these events, Primeline’s banking Syndicate may demand immediate repayment of all amounts owed under the project
facility. This would likely result in Primeline’s insolvency, and seizure of its assets, Exploration for oil and
gas is subject to the inherent risk that it will not result in a commercial discovery.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in
the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this.
