PetroTal Corp. is an oil and gas company whose shares are currently admitted to trading on the TSX and AIM. The Company is focused on development of oil and gas assets in Peru, and where it currently has controlling interests in two onshore license blocks; Block 95, which includes the producing Bretaña Norte field, and Block 107 which is currently in the exploration phase of development.

The Company is advancing the development of its flagship Bretaña Assets, which includes the producing Bretaña oil field, located in the Marañon basin along the Ucayali River, as well pursuing the exploration of Block 107, located in the Ucayali Basin of Eastern Peru, where the Company is targeting a farm-out to bring in a partner to drill the Osheki Prospect within the next two years.

The Company is incorporated in Canada. As the Company is not incorporated in the UK, the rights of shareholders may be different from the rights of shareholders in a UK incorporated company.

PetroTal trades on AIM under the ticker PTAL and on the TSX under the ticker TAL.

The Company is not subject to takeover regulation in the UK and the City Code will not apply to the Company. However, Canadian laws applicable to the Company provide for early warning disclosure requirements and for takeover bid rules for bids made to security holders in various jurisdictions in Canada.

In Canada, securities laws are a matter of provincial/territorial jurisdiction and, as a result, bids are governed by applicable corporate and securities legislation in each province or territory. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act and applicable provincial and territory. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act and applicable provincial and territorial securities legislation governing takeover bids.

As the Company is incorporated in Canada, shareholders’ rights may be different from the rights of shareholders in a UK incorporated company.

Rule 17 of the AIM Rules requires, inter alia, that an AIM quoted company must notify the market of any changes of which it is aware to its Shareholders’ interests in three percent or more of the Common Shares and changes thereto (of any movements through a percentage point upwards or downwards). As the Company is incorporated in Alberta, provisions have been incorporated into the Articles (and approved by Shareholders at the Special Meeting held on 4 June 2018) which, to the extent possible, mirror the requirements of DTR 5 which require that Shareholders holding interests in three percent or more of the Company’s Common Shares inform the Company thereof and to inform the Company of relevant subsequent changes thereto.
