expressing management&rsquo;s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements
are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as &ldquo;aim&rdquo;, &ldquo;ambition&rdquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;anticipate&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;believe&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;could&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;estimate&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;expect&rsquo;&rsquo;,

products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry
competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties

countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures
addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including
the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval
of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19
(coronavirus) outbreak; and (n) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed
previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by
the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
