and 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 may also include "forward-looking information" within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking
statements"). 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 "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
"forecast," "outlook," "aim," "target," "will," "could," "should," "may,"
"likely," "plan" and "probably" 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 press release include,
but are not limited to, statements relating to expectations of future
dividends to stockholders. 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: risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Vaalco; the
ability to generate cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be
sufficient to support operations and cash requirements; risks relating to the
timing and costs of completion for scheduled maintenance of the FPSO servicing
the Baobab field; and the risks described under the caption "Risk Factors" in
Vaalco's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024
and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.

 

Dividends beyond the first quarter of 2025 have not yet been approved or
declared by the Board of Directors. The declaration and payment of future
dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be
determined based on Vaalco'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. The Board
of Directors reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of
dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid
on Vaalco's common stock, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate the
payment level at any time without prior notice.
