Wentworth Resources Limited : Primary Insider Notification

Wentworth Resources Limited : Primary Insider Notification

2 October 2018

WENTWORTH RESOURCES LIMITED

("Wentworth" or the "Company")

Primary Insider Notification

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by Wentworth, the Oslo Børs

(OSE: WRL) and AIM (AIM: WRL) listed independent, East Africa-focused oil & gas

company, dated 2 October 2018, regarding the results of the special meeting of

the Company held on 2 October 2018 (the "Special Meeting"), resolving, inter

alia, the re-domiciliation of Wentworth from Alberta, Canada to Jersey, Channel

Islands (the "Continuance").

Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "ABCA"), eligible

shareholders had a right to dissent to the Continuance, provided that

notification of such dissent has been sent to the Company at or prior to the

Shareholders' Meeting. Shareholders who have exercised (and not withdrawn) such

right of dissent will, provided that the Continuance becomes effective, be

deemed to have transferred to the Company for cancellation their common shares

(determined as of the close of business on the last business day (in Alberta)

before the day of the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. on 1 October 2018)).

Based on a preliminary counting of the number of shareholders having exercised

their right of dissent and the number of common shares held by them as of the

relevant date, the Company announces that it will be required to acquire

2,329,326 common shares of the Company, representing 0.88% of the issued and

outstanding common shares of the Company, from dissenting shareholders. The

relevant shares will be deemed transferred to the Company at the time the

Continuance becomes effective (expected late October 2018). The Company will pay

a price per common share acquired equal to the fair value of such shares

determined as of the close of business on 1 October 2018, as agreed between the

Company and each dissenting shareholder or, absent such agreement, as determined

by a court of law having jurisdiction over the matter, as further governed by

the ABCA. The Company will publish an update of the number of common shares the

Company will be required to acquire, if the number change following the final

counting of such number of shares.

The common shares acquired by Wentworth will be cancelled and the Company will,

following such cancellation, not own any common shares in the Company.
