Following a re-evaluation due to concerns recently raised by a shareholder of TransGlobe, ISS has again concluded that the proposed transaction is of 'sound strategic rationale'. In a further statement, ISS highlighted that the merger will provide current shareholders of both organisations the opportunity to participate in the 'potential upside represented by a combined company through a more diverse set of operating assets and attractive opportunities for capital allocation'. These highlights, along with ISS's recommendations, are in line with the TransGlobe Board of Directors' unanimous approval of the proposed business combination.
'We are very pleased that ISS continues to support the transaction and recommends all TransGlobe shareholders vote FOR the combination of TransGlobe and VAALCO. The Board and management of the Company continue to unanimously support the merger which offers shareholders a compelling opportunity and will deliver material benefits for TransGlobe shareholders.'

Forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect. Although TransGlobe believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because TransGlobe can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements contained herein.
In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified in this document, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, anticipated production volumes; the timing of receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals for the arrangement; the ability of the combined business to realize the anticipated benefits of the arrangement; ability to effectively integrate assets and property as a result of the Arrangement; ability to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost-efficient manner; regulatory framework governing royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which TransGlobe and VAALCO conducts and the combined business will conduct its business; future capital expenditures; future sources of funding for capital programs; current commodity prices and royalty regimes; future exchange rates; the price of oil; the impact of increasing competition; conditions in general economic and financial markets; availability of drilling and related equipment; effects of regulation by governmental agencies; future operating costs; uninterrupted access to areas of operation and infrastructure; recoverability of reserves and future production rates; the combined business will have sufficient cash flow, debt and equity sources or other financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed; results of operations will be consistent with expectations; current or, where applicable, proposed industry conditions, laws and regulations will continue in effect; the estimates of reserves and resource volumes and the assumptions related thereto are accurate in all material respects; and other matters.
