Gulf Keystone Provides Shaikan Payment Update

Gulf Keystone confirms that a gross payment of $25.2 million ($19.8 million net to GKP) has been received from the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG"). The payment is comprised of gross $21.9 million ($17.1 million net) for Shaikan crude oil sales during January 2021 and gross $3.3 million ($2.6 million net) in relation to the arrears from the outstanding November 2019 to February 2020 invoices. Following receipt of the arrears payment, the current outstanding balance is $70.7 million net to GKP.

This arrears payment is in line with the KRG's proposal and corresponds to 50% of the difference between the January average dated Brent price and $50 per barrel multiplied by the gross Shaikan crude oil volumes sold in January. The Company remains in a constructive dialogue with the KRG to finalise the repayment terms.
