forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements, whether made in this release or in future filings or press
releases, or orally, address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, including in respect of the Company&#8217;s prospects for growth
and its ongoing access to capital to fund the Company&#8217;s business plan, among others. Consequently, changes in the following factors,
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements: market prices of
oil &amp; gas, our exploration, and production activities, market conditions, applicable regulations, the exchange rate, the Company&#8217;s
competitiveness and the performance of Colombia&#8217;s economy and industry, to mention a few. We do not intend and do not assume any
obligation to update these forward-looking statements. </I></P>
