Sirius Petroleum announced a funding update for the Ororo Field as follows: Binding agreement for up to USD 20 million agreed with Barak Fund SPC Limited ("Barak") to contribute to the funding of the first phase (Ororo-2 and Ororo-3 wells) of the Ororo field development. Sirius has signed an agreement with Barak for the provision of a USD 20 million debt facility, which, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions thereto, can be drawn down in specified tranches following first production. The facility will be deployed to pay for costs in relation to Ororo-2 (following first oil) as well as Ororo-3, which are due to service providers under the staged milestone payments for the Ororo work programme and marks an important step in developing the strategic, long-term partnership with Barak. The facility has a term of 3 years from the date of the first drawdown and is repayable in four equal installments of, if the facility is fully drawn, USD 5 million (plus accrued interest thereon) in the last four quarters of the term of the loan. Commencing from drawdown, interest is charged at 3-month LIBOR plus 10% and is payable quarterly in arrears Other key terms of the facility are that the facility may be cancelled and the outstanding amounts of the loans declared immediately due and payable by Barak upon, among other things, a change of control of Sirius or on the disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of Sirius' group.

Sirius will grant Barak an all assets debenture and a security assignment of receivables by way of assignment of offtake contracts.
