UPDATE ON KENYA PROJECT

Global Petroleum Limited ('the Company') advises that after seeking legal advice, notice has been given to Woodside Energy (Kenya) Pty Limited ('Woodside') terminating the Farm-In Agreement ('FIA') relating to certain interests in the Lamu Basin, offshore Kenya.

The termination notice has been given based on Woodside's refusal to drill a second exploratory well in the project area in accordance with the FIA and its failure to take any steps to remedy this refusal, which the Company considers to be a repudiation and breach of the FIA.

The Company and joint venture partner Dana Petroleum (E&P) Limited have advised Woodside that they intend to issue legal proceedings to recover losses suffered as a result.

Further announcements will be made by the Company as appropriate.
