Global Petroleum Limited Announces Update in Italy

Global has now been advised that the recent judgements by the Council of State, dismissing the appeals against the environmental decrees granted in its favour by the Italian authorities, also encompassed its permit applications D 80 F.R GP and D 81 F.R GP, which were added to the appeal at a later stage.

This means that the Council of State has dismissed the appeals by the town of Margherita di Savoia in respect of all four of Global's applications: D 80 F.R- GP, D 81 F.R-GP, D 82 F.R-GP and D 83 F.R-GP ("Applications").

As previously indicated, the Company submitted further documentation in connection with the Applications some months ago to the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition ("Ministry") and has been awaiting further dialogue with the Ministry regarding the process going forward.

Once this process is complete, the Company will assess its options in relation to the Applications and make a further announcement accordingly.
