Shaikan Payment Update

Gulf Keystone notes the recent announcements from international oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq regarding the payment for crude oil sales during April 2020.  The Company confirms that it has submitted an invoice to the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG") for a nil amount as the monthly average Dated Brent price in April was below the Shaikan crude discount.

Following the increase in the Dated Brent price over recent weeks, the invoice to be submitted for crude oil sales during May 2020 will return to a positive amount.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014.
