Arrow Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Arrow establishes share buyback programme

Calgary, Alberta-(June 13, 2025) - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL) (TSXV:
AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company"), the high-growth operator with a portfolio of
assets across key Colombian hydrocarbon basins, is pleased to announce that,
the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") has approved the Company's notice of
its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to commence a
share buyback programme (the "Share Buyback Programme").

The notice provides that the Company may purchase up to 14,293,217 Common
Shares in the Company ("Shares"), being 5% of the Company's Public Float (as
that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange).

The Share Buyback Programme will be for on market purchases of up to £2.7
million worth of Shares (the "Maximum Monetary Amount") carried out on the
London Stock Exchange and any other UK recognised investment exchange and in
accordance with certain pre-set parameters (the "Share Buyback").

Any purchases of Shares by the Company in relation to this announcement will
be effected within certain pre-set parameters and in accordance with (and
subject to the limits prescribed by), the Exchange, the Market Abuse
Regulation 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018) (the "Regulations") and the AIM Rules for Companies
(the "AIM Rules").

Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord Genuity") will purchase the Shares under
the Share Buyback Programme on behalf of the Company. The Company will provide
instructions to buy back Shares as and when its management believes that, at
the time of instruction, these repurchases are at or below the Board's view of
the intrinsic value of the Company and be in the best interests of
shareholders generally. From time to time, the Company may also provide one or
more time-limited, irrevocable, non-discretionary instructions to Canaccord
Genuity to make trading decisions and repurchase Shares within those
instructions independently of the Company. Any purchases of shares made during
closed periods pursuant to the Share Buyback Programme shall be made
independently of and uninfluenced by the Company.

Further details of the Share Buyback Programme

The purpose of the Share Buyback Programme is to return capital to those
shareholders wishing to participate in the Share Buyback.

·      The Share Buyback will be financed from existing cash resources.

·      The Share Buyback shall be done in compliance with the Business
Corporations Act (Alberta).

·      The aggregate number of Shares acquired by the Company pursuant
to the Share buyback shall not exceed the volume limitations imposed by the
Exchange.

·      The maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for
each Share is an amount equal to the price of the last independent trade of
any Share.

·      It is intended that the Share Buyback Programme will, insofar as
is possible, be conducted in accordance with the safe harbour parameters of
MAR (as defined below); however, given the limited liquidity in the Shares,
the Share Buyback may on any given trading day represent a significant
proportion of the daily trading volume in the Shares on the London Stock
Exchange and could exceed 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume.
Accordingly, the Group may not benefit from the exemption contained in Article
5(1) in the UK version of the Market Abuse Regulations (Regulation (EU) No
596/2014) as incorporated into UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR").

·      The Share Buyback is capable of being commenced from the date of
this announcement and is anticipated to continue until the number of Shares
equal to the Maximum Monetary Amount have been purchased under the Share
Buyback or the process is terminated or paused.

·      The purchased Shares will be cancelled by the Company.

·      Share buybacks will take place in open market transactions and
may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price and
trading volume. There is no certainty that any buybacks will be completed. The
Share Buyback may be paused at any time if deemed appropriate by the Company
with respect to market conditions.

·      Purchases may continue under the Share Buyback Programme during
any closed period to which the Company is subject provided an irrevocable,
non-discretionary instruction to Canaccord Genuity has been made prior to
entering a closed period. The Company confirms it is not in a close period and
currently has no other unpublished inside information.

·      There is no guarantee that the Share Buyback Programme will be
implemented in full or that any purchases will be made. The Company reserves
the right to bring a halt to the Share Buyback Programme under circumstances
that it deems to be appropriate and in accordance with relevant law and
regulation.

·      As at 31 December 2024, the Company's total issued share capital
consisted of 285,864,348 Shares, with one voting right per share. As at this
date, the Company does not hold any Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total
number of voting rights in the Group is 285,864,348.

·      The Company will make further regulatory announcements in respect
of repurchases of Shares as required by applicable laws and regulations,
including the TSXV, MAR and the AIM Rules.

·      Any market purchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Buyback will
be announced no later than 7.30am on the business day following the day on
which the purchase occurred.

 

The Board has determined Share Buyback Programme is in the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders and is expected to commence over the coming
days.

 

Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:

"Arrow is pleased to put in place the share buyback program for 2025.  We
believe it is the right thing to do for Arrow and our shareholders, and it
reflects the confidence we have in the 2025 program and the future of Arrow."

"The Company will begin buying back and cancelling shares in the coming
months.  The market will be updated at each share purchase to make the
program as transparent as possible."

About Arrow Exploration Corp.

Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned
subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio
of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and
offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil
production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos,
Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is
predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light
oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential
operating margins. By way of a private commercial contract with the recognized
interest holder before Ecopetrol S.A., Arrow is entitled to receive 50% of the
production from the Tapir block. The formal assignment to the Company is
subject to Ecopetrol's consent.  Arrow's seasoned team is led by a hands-on
executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the
symbol "AXL".
