This release contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All statements in this release, other than statements of historical fact, that reference the offer by Teranga and the process to be followed by the Board and the Special Committee with the assistance of advisors are forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause its expectations about the proposed takeover bid and the process to be followed by Oromin to be inaccurate include the possibility that other potential offers will emerge that will require an adjustment to the process, and that the Board or Special Committee will be unable for any reason to follow or complete the process as envisioned.
