    <div style="text-align: justify; color: #373737; font-weight: bold;">Forward-Looking Statements</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">This Current Report on Form 8-K includes &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to
      be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws and other applicable laws and &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or
      belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words &#8220;anticipate,&#8221;
      &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;outlook,&#8221; &#8220;aim,&#8221; &#8220;target,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;likely,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;probably&#8221; or similar words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean
      that a statement is not forward-looking.&#160; Forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to (i) the proposed Arrangement and its expected terms, timing and closing, including
      receipt of required approvals, if any, satisfaction of other customary closing conditions and expected changes and appointments to the executive team and board of directors; (ii) estimates of pro forma reserves and future drilling, production and
      sales of crude oil and natural gas; (iii) estimates of future cost reductions, synergies, including pre-tax synergies, savings and efficiencies; (iv) expectations regarding VAALCO&#8217;s ability to effectively integrate assets and properties it may
      acquire as a result of the proposed Arrangement into VAALCO&#8217;s operations (v) expectations regarding future exploration and the development, growth and potential of VAALCO&#8217;s and TransGlobe&#8217;s operations, project pipeline and investments, and schedule
      and anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; (vi) expectations regarding future investments or divestitures; (vii) expectations of future dividends and returns to stockholders including share buybacks; (viii) expectations of future balance sheet
      strength and credit ratings including pro forma financial metrics; (ix) expectations of future equity and enterprise value; (x) expectations regarding the listing of&#160; the common stock, par value $0.10 of VAALCO (&#8220;VAALCO common stock&#8221;) on the New York
      Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange; and delisting of TransGlobe shares from Nasdaq, the Toronto Stock Exchange and Alternative Investment Market; (xi) expectations regarding the percentage share of the combined company that are expected to be
      owned by existing VAALCO stockholders and TransGlobe shareholders; (xii) expectations of future plans, priorities, focus and benefits of the proposed Arrangement and the combined company; (xiii) the combined company&#8217;s environmental, social and
      governance related focus and commitments, and the anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; (xiv) terms of hedging contracts; and (xv) expectations relating to resource potential and the potential to add reserves.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">Additionally statements relating to &#8220;reserves&#8221; are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that
      the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. Forward-looking statements regarding the percentage share of the combined company that are expected to be owned by existing VAALCO
      stockholders and TransGlobe shareholders have been calculated based on each company&#8217;s vested outstanding shares as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement. Dividends of VAALCO beyond the third quarter 2022 have not yet been approved or declared by
      the board of directors of VAALCO. VAALCO management&#8217;s expectations with respect to future dividends, annualized dividends or other returns to stockholders, including share buybacks, are forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that such
      statements with respect to future dividends and share buybacks are non-binding. The declaration and payment of future dividends or the terms of any share buybacks remain at the discretion of the board of directors of VAALCO and will be determined
      based on VAALCO&#8217;s financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, crude oil and natural gas prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors of VAALCO. The board of directors of VAALCO
      reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid on VAALCO common stock, the board of directors of VAALCO may revise or terminate the payment level at any time
      without prior notice. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements.
      These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the ability to obtain stockholder, shareholder, court and regulatory approvals (if any) in connection with the proposed Arrangement; the ability to complete the proposed Arrangement on
      the anticipated terms and timetable; the possibility that various closing conditions for the Arrangement may not be satisfied or waived; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of VAALCO and/or TransGlobe; the tax treatment of the proposed
      Arrangement in the United States and Canada; declines in oil or natural gas prices; the level of success in exploration, development and production activities; adverse weather conditions that may negatively impact development or production
      activities; the timing and costs of exploration and development expenditures; inaccuracies of reserve estimates or assumptions underlying them; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; impacts to financial statements
      as a result of impairment write-downs; the ability to generate cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be sufficient to support operations and cash requirements; the ability to attract capital or obtain debt financing arrangements; currency
      exchange rates and regulations; actions by joint venture co-owners; hedging decisions, including whether or not to enter into derivative financial instruments; international, federal and state initiatives relating to the regulation of hydraulic
      fracturing; failure of assets to yield oil or gas in commercially viable quantities; uninsured or underinsured losses resulting from oil and gas operations; inability to access oil and gas markets due to market conditions or operational impediments;
      the impact and costs of compliance with laws and regulations governing oil and gas operations; the ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves; any loss of senior management or technical personnel; competition in the oil and gas industry; the
      risk that the proposed Arrangement may not increase VAALCO&#8217;s relevance to investors in the international exploration and production industry, increase capital market access through scale and diversification or provide liquidity benefits for
      stockholders; and other risks described (i) under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in VAALCO&#8217;s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022; and (ii) in TransGlobe&#8217;s 2021 Annual Report on Form 40-F, filed with the SEC on March 17,
      2022 or TransGlobe&#8217;s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2021 dated March 17, 2022. Neither VAALCO nor TransGlobe is affirming or adopting any statements or reports attributed to the other (including prior oil and gas reserves
      information) in this Current Report on Form 8-K or made by the other outside of this Current Report on Form 8-K. More information on potential factors that could affect VAALCO&#8217;s or TransGlobe&#8217;s financial results will be included in the preliminary
      and the definitive proxy statements that VAALCO intends to file with the SEC in connection with VAALCO&#8217;s solicitation of proxies for the meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the issuance of shares of VAALCO common stock
      in connection with the proposed Arrangement. There may be additional risks that neither VAALCO nor TransGlobe presently knows, or that VAALCO or TransGlobe currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those
      contained in the forward-looking statements.&#160; In addition, forward-looking statements reflect VAALCO&#8217;s and TransGlobe&#8217;s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Should one or more
      of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. No obligation is being undertaken to update or
      revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.</div>

            arrangement because the proxy statement will contain important information about VAALCO, TransGlobe and the proposed arrangement.&#160; When available, the definitive proxy statement will be mailed to VAALCO&#8217;s stockholders as of the record date of

            for the proposed arrangement when available.&#160; Additional information regarding the interests of participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed arrangement will be included in the proxy statement that VAALCO intends

            <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Forward-Looking Statements</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div style="text-align: justify;">This document includes &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities
              Act&#8221;), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws and other applicable laws and &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of applicable
              Canadian securities laws. Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. All
              statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;outlook,&#8221; &#8220;aim,&#8221; &#8220;target,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;likely,&#8221;
              &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;probably&#8221; or similar words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited
              to, statements relating to (i) the proposed arrangement and its expected terms, timing and closing, including receipt of required approvals, if any, satisfaction of other customary closing conditions and expected changes and appointments to
              the executive team and board of directors; (ii) estimates of pro forma reserves and future drilling, production and sales of crude oil and natural gas; (iii) estimates of future cost reductions, synergies, including pre-tax synergies, savings
              and efficiencies; (iv) expectations regarding VAALCO&#8217;s ability to effectively integrate assets and properties it may acquire as a result of the proposed arrangement into VAALCO&#8217;s operations; (v) expectations regarding future exploration and
              the development, growth and potential of VAALCO&#8217;s and TransGlobe&#8217;s operations, project pipeline and investments, and schedule and anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; (vi) expectations regarding future investments or divestitures;
              (vii) expectations of future dividends and returns to stockholders including share buybacks; (viii) expectations of future balance sheet strength and credit ratings including pro forma financial metrics; (ix) expectations of future equity and
              enterprise value; (x) expectations regarding the listing of&#160; the common stock, par value $0.10 of VAALCO (&#8220;VAALCO common stock&#8221;) on the New York Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange; and delisting of TransGlobe shares from Nasdaq, the
              Toronto Stock Exchange and Alternative Investment Market; (xi) expectations regarding the percentage share of the combined company that are expected to be owned by existing VAALCO stockholders and TransGlobe shareholders; (xii) expectations
              of future plans, priorities, focus and benefits of the proposed arrangement and the combined company; (xiii) the combined company&#8217;s environmental, social and governance related focus and commitments, and the anticipated benefits to be derived
              therefrom; (xiv) terms of hedging contracts; and (xv) expectations relating to resource potential and the potential to add reserves.</div>

          <div>
            <div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, statements relating to &#8220;reserves&#8221; are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on
              certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. Forward-looking statements regarding the percentage share of the combined company that
              are expected to be owned by existing VAALCO stockholders and TransGlobe shareholders have been calculated based on each company&#8217;s vested outstanding shares as of the date of the arrangement agreement. Dividends of VAALCO beyond the third
              quarter 2022 have not yet been approved or declared by the board of directors of VAALCO. VAALCO management&#8217;s expectations with respect to future dividends, annualized dividends or other returns to stockholders, including share buybacks, are
              forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that such statements with respect to future dividends and share buybacks are non-binding. The declaration and payment of future dividends or the terms of any share buybacks remain at the
              discretion of the board of directors of VAALCO and will be determined based on VAALCO&#8217;s financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, crude oil and natural gas prices, and other factors deemed
              relevant by the board of directors of VAALCO. The board of directors of VAALCO reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid on VAALCO common stock,
              the board of directors of VAALCO may revise or terminate the payment level at any time without prior notice. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ
              materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the ability to obtain stockholder, shareholder, court and regulatory approvals
              (if any) in connection with the proposed arrangement; the ability to complete the proposed arrangement on the anticipated terms and timetable; the possibility that various closing conditions for the proposed arrangement may not be satisfied
              or waived; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of VAALCO and/or TransGlobe; the tax treatment of the arrangement in the United States and Canada; declines in oil or natural gas prices; the level of success in exploration, development
              and production activities; adverse weather conditions that may negatively impact development or production activities; the timing and costs of exploration and development expenditures; inaccuracies of reserve estimates or assumptions
              underlying them; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; impacts to financial statements as a result of impairment write-downs; the ability to generate cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be
              sufficient to support operations and cash requirements; the ability to attract capital or obtain debt financing arrangements; currency exchange rates and regulations; actions by joint venture co-owners; hedging decisions, including whether or
              not to enter into derivative financial instruments; international, federal and state initiatives relating to the regulation of hydraulic fracturing; failure of assets to yield oil or gas in commercially viable quantities; uninsured or
              underinsured losses resulting from oil and gas operations; inability to access oil and gas markets due to market conditions or operational impediments; the impact and costs of compliance with laws and regulations governing oil and gas
              operations; the ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves; any loss of senior management or technical personnel; competition in the oil and gas industry; the risk that the proposed arrangement may not increase VAALCO&#8217;s relevance to
              investors in the international exploration and production industry, increase capital market access through scale and diversification or provide liquidity benefits for stockholders; and other risks described (i) under the caption &#8220;Risk
              Factors&#8221; in VAALCO&#8217;s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022; and (ii) in TransGlobe&#8217;s 2021 Annual Report on Form 40-F, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2022 or TransGlobe&#8217;s annual information form for the year
              ended December 31, 2021 dated March 17, 2022. Neither VAALCO nor TransGlobe is affirming or adopting any statements or reports attributed to the other (including prior oil and gas reserves information) in this document or made by the other
              outside of this document. More information on potential factors that could affect VAALCO&#8217;s or TransGlobe&#8217;s financial results will be included in the preliminary and the definitive proxy statements that VAALCO intends to file with the SEC in
              connection with VAALCO&#8217;s solicitation of proxies for the meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the issuance of shares of VAALCO common stock in connection with the proposed arrangement. There may be additional
              risks that neither VAALCO nor TransGlobe presently knows, or that VAALCO or TransGlobe currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition,
              forward-looking statements reflect VAALCO&#8217;s and TransGlobe&#8217;s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this document. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the
              assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. No obligation is being undertaken to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
              new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.</div>
