CYPRUS OPPORTUNITY ENERGY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED (the "Company") would like to inform the investing public, further to the announcement dated 27 June 2017 regarding entering into a Farmout Agreement for the participation and acquisition of rights in oil and gas assets in North Dakota, USA (the "Project"), that the Major Partner1 in the Project has yesterday (29 March 2020) published its annual report for the year 2019, which contains information that may be relevant to the investing public regarding the Project.

1 Israel Opportunity – Energy Resources, LP. A public Israeli partnership, which its General Partner is a substantial shareholder in the Company.

2 In order to receive the value that relates to the total production in the period [MBBL] that relates to the shareholders of the Company (and not the Major Partner, as reflected in the table) the total production in the period [MBBL] for the 100% should be multiplied with the NRI of the Company, which is approximately 2.191%.

3 Note, that royalties, as published in the original announcement of the Major Partner (which is incorporated as a limited partnership), also include royalties paid by the partnership to its general partner, under their partnership agreement, in the amount of 10% of its share of any petroleum produced.

4 See footnote 2 above, with the necessary changes to the production unit (MCF instead of MBBL).

*** since the Company had performed impairment of all costs related to works carried out in the existing wells in the Project, the depletion rate is in fact no longer calculated; nevertheless, it was presented in the announcement of the Major Partner.

It should be noted that to the best knowledge of the Company, the operator in the Project has temporarily ceased production of petroleum in the wells due to the low oil prices which have resulted from the outbreak of the Corona virus (COVID-19). The Company will continue to examine the issue in the following period.

The figures in the above table relate to the Major Partner's shareholders and are specific to this partner, as they are taken from its announcement. The investing public and the shareholders of the Company should not base any calculation on the figures of the Major Partner to extrapolate the relative figures of the Company and other partners in the Project as these figures would not be true and representative.

5 See footnote 3 above.

6 See footnote 2 above, with the necessary changes to the production unit (Gallons instead of MBBL).

7 See footnote 3 above.

The partners to the Project and their work interest (on average8 ), as of the day of this Announcement9 , are as follows: The Company – about 2.82% Israel Opportunity – Energy Resources, LP – about 58.28% Radian Partnership, LP – about 9.4% Thurston Energy Investment 2, LLC – about 23.5% A number of different holders, combined – about 6%

Kind regards,

Rony Halman Chairman of C.O. CYPRUS OPPORTUNITY ENERGY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

8 The Work Interest in the 10 sections that comprise the Project differs between one section to another. Therefore, the overall work interest dispersion is displayed as average.

9 As announced on 28 February 2020, the Company was informed that parties to the Project have reached an agreement with a third party for the sale of 33% working interest in the Project. To the best of the knowledge of the Company, the terms for this transaction have yet to be fulfilled, and the transfer of working interest has yet to be concluded.
