Despite an extremely challenging environment for commodity prices and industry wide cost cutting, VAALCO&#8217;s cash G&amp;A expenses remain unacceptably high. The Company&#8217;s cash G&amp;A for the three months ended September 30, 2015 grew 47.6% from the second quarter of 2015, increasing to $3.1 million from $2.1 million. Cash G&amp;A for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 grew 6.3% versus the same period a year ago, increasing to $8.5 million from $8.0 million.</font></div>

VAALCO has also once again increased its Capex guidance for 2015 from $83 to $86 million, an increase from guidance issued just three months ago of $70 to $80 million.</font></div>

Further, once again the Board has proven unable to properly manage financial reporting due to poor oversight and financial controls as the Company was required last week to postpone its previously announced date for the third quarter earnings release.</font></div>

That is why we have announced our intention to solicit consents from our fellow stockholders to replace four of the Company&#8217;s current members of the Board. In contrast to current directors and executives who are compensated with stock grants, director fees and compensation packages, our interests are fully aligned with those of all stockholders. We strongly believe that VAALCO sorely and urgently needs a Board reconstituted to include directors with the right qualifications, experience and incentives to effect meaningful improvements at VAALCO.&#8221;</font></div>

Dickerson, age 60, has served as an independent consultant, offering commercial and transactional advice in his capacity as a senior upstream oil and gas professional, since June 2015. Since April 2015 he has served as West Africa Consultant for Well Flow International, a company that provides technology-enabled wellbore cleanup tools, associated chemicals and well intervention and stimulation chemicals, and which is a subsidiary of Group 42, Inc. Prior to consulting for Well Flow, Mr. Dickerson served as Head of Commercial, Planning and Economics for Tullow Oil Plc. (&#8220;Tullow&#8221;), a leading independent oil exploration and production company, from February 2002 to June 2014. Mr. Dickerson was intimately involved in all of Tullow&#8217;s business development activities and played a key role in the organization&#8217;s dramatic growth. Mr. Dickerson also served on Tullow&#8217;s original Executive Committee, Senior Leadership and Crisis Management teams. Prior to joining Tullow, Mr. Dickerson joined Lovegrove and Associates, an upstream A&amp;D advisory firm, in 1993, as manager and eventually director. During his time with Lovegrove and Associates, Mr. Dickerson was involved in over 100 projects for more than 40 clients in the upstream energy industry. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (&#8220;CIBC&#8221;) acquired Lovegrove and Associates in 1996. Mr. Dickerson continued to serve as Managing Director for CIBC in the oil &amp; gas team and originated Tullow&#8217;s transformational acquisition of UK assets from BP. In 1985 Mr. Dickerson joined Sun International Exploration &amp; Production Company (&#8220;Sun E&amp;P&#8221;) as the Planning Manager for U.K. and Europe. Shortly thereafter, Dickerson assumed the role of Planning Manager for its entire International E&amp;P Division. Before Sun E&amp;P withdrew from international ventures, Mr. Dickerson took on the additional responsibility of managing the accounting function of the division. Mr. Dickerson began his career in 1978 as a Joint Venture Accountant for Gulf Oil Corporation (&#8220;Gulf Oil&#8221;) and held various positions at Gulf Oil through 1985, including Senior Financial Analyst. Mr. Dickerson holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Chemistry and Business Administration from Kingston University. The Group 42-BLR Group believes Mr. Dickerson&#8217;s upstream and exploration and production and direct West Africa focused expertise, as well as his extensive corporate strategy and governance experience, make him an ideal candidate for the Board.</font></div>
