ARROW ANNOUNCES GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS (TVR) UPDATE
CALGARY, September 29, 2023 - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL; TSXV: AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company"), the high-growth operator with a portfolio of assets across key Colombian hydrocarbon basins, is pleased to announce a stock options grant and to provide a TVR update.
Stock Options Grant
The Company has granted 1,000,000 stock options ("Options") to Ian Langley (Director), pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is intended to assist in attracting, retaining, engaging and rewarding directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, provide additional incentive to these people for their efforts on behalf of the Company, and to align with the enhancement of shareholder value. Under the Plan, the Company is able to issue Options to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares in the Company from time to time.
The Options have a strike price of CAD 0.33, and vest in thirds on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of grant. The options expire six months from vesting. Following these grants, the Company shall have a total 20,865,000 options issued under the Plan.
Total Voting Rights (TVR)
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has issued 5,594,944 Common Shares (the "New Common Shares") in the month of September 2023 pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued at the Company's offering in October 2021. All of the New Common Shares issued during the month were issued under the Company's existing block listing entitlement.
Following the issue of the New Common Shares, the issued share capital of the Company comprises 245,526,041 Common Shares with one vote per share. This figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Additionally, and as at the end of September 2023, the Company still has 40,713,307 warrants outstanding to be exercised until October and November of this year.

About Arrow Exploration Corp.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. By way of a private commercial contract with the recognized interest holder before Ecopetrol S.A., Arrow is entitled to receive 50% of the production from the Tapir block. The formal assignment to the Company is subject to Ecopetrol's consent. Arrow's seasoned team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".
