$1.15 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market on May 24, 2023. Pursuant
to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered in a public primary offering with a value exceeding
more than one-third of our public float (the market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12 calendar month period
so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million. We have not offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Generally, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation
from engaging in a &ldquo;business combination&rdquo; with an &ldquo;interested stockholder&rdquo; for a three-year period following the
time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A &ldquo;business
combination&rdquo; includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to
the interested stockholder. An &ldquo;interested stockholder&rdquo; is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or
did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation&rsquo;s voting
stock.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and
an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions: before the stockholder became interested,
the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder; upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested
stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for
purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock
plans, in some instances; or at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board
of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Directors will be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the stockholders meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Our Certificate
of Incorporation does not provide for a classified board of directors or for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under Article
VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 3.13 of the By-Laws, directors may be removed by the stockholders of the Company
only for cause, and in such case only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company then entitled to vote in the election of directors. On December 21, 2015, the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware invalidated as a matter of law certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws
of VAALCO Energy, Inc. (&ldquo;<U>VAALCO</U>&rdquo;), a Delaware corporation, that permitted the removal of VAALCO&rsquo;s directors by
its stockholders only for cause. In <I>In re VAALCO Energy, Inc. Stockholder Litigation,</I> Consol. C.A. No. 11775-VCL (Del. Ch. Dec.
21, 2015), the Court ruled from the bench to hold that, in the absence of a classified board of directors or cumulative voting, VAALCO&rsquo;s
&ldquo;only for-cause&rdquo; director removal provisions conflict with Section 141(k) of the DGCL and are therefore invalid. Because the
Company&rsquo;s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws contain similar &ldquo;only for-cause&rdquo; director removal provisions and
the Company does not have a classified board of directors or cumulative voting, the Company will not attempt to enforce the foregoing
&ldquo;only for-cause&rdquo; director removal provision in light of the <I>VAALCO</I> decision.</P>

stock under our Certificate of Incorporation provides us with flexibility in addressing corporate issues that may arise. The board of
directors has the power, subject to applicable law, to issue series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series,
impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe
to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then prevailing market price of
the stock. Our board of directors may issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely
affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of common
stock, will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless action is required by applicable law or the rules
of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Having these authorized shares available for issuance allows us to issue
shares without the expense and delay of a special stockholders&rsquo; meeting. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes,
including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence
of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control
of our company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. The above provisions may deter a hostile takeover or delay
a change in control or management of our company.</P>

nominate director candidates for election or to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders. Only persons nominated by, or
at the direction of, our board of directors or by a stockholder of record who has given proper and timely notice to our secretary prior
to the meeting at which such stockholder is entitled to vote and appears, will be eligible for election as a director. In addition, any
proposed business other than the nomination of persons for election to our board of directors must constitute a proper matter for stockholder
action pursuant to a proper notice of meeting delivered to us. For notice to be timely, it must generally be delivered to our secretary
not less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year&rsquo;s annual meeting (or if the
date of the annual meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 60 calendar days after the anniversary date of the previous
year&rsquo;s annual meeting, not earlier than the 120th calendar day prior to such meeting and not later than either the 90th calendar
day prior to such meeting or the 10th calendar day after public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made by us). These advance
notice provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed
or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise
attempt to obtain control of us.</P>

electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&rsquo; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. &ldquo;Direct participants&rdquo; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (&ldquo;DTCC&rdquo;).
DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are
registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to
others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant,
either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.</P>

direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&rsquo;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser
of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&rsquo; records.
Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected
to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct
or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished
by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.</P>

&amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial
owners of the securities. DTC&rsquo;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are
credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf
of their customers.</P>

governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer
form or registered in &ldquo;street name.&rdquo; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments
to Cede &amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility; disbursement
of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC; and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility
of direct and indirect participants.</P>

Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ours pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless
in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</P>
