Capital Expenditure Programs, Cost Saving Initiatives and Funding

In these difficult market conditions, Phoenix Global Resources plc (AIM: PGR; BCBA: PGR), the independent Argentine-focused upstream oil and gas exploration and production company, is reducing its capital expenditure programs and exploring other cost saving initiatives.

As part of these initiatives, the Company is in discussions with Mercuria Energy Netherlands BV ("Mercuria"), part of the Mercuria Group, to restructure the existing convertible credit facilities agreement (the "Convertible Facilities Agreement") with Mercuria. The Convertible Facilities Agreement provided for a grace period (interest and principal) from 1 January 2019 to 29 February 2020 (the "Grace Period") with the loans amortising in equal quarterly repayment instalments from 31 March 2020 until 31 December 2021, the date of maturity.

Mercuria has agreed to amend certain terms of the Convertible Facilities Agreement, including extending the Grace Period to 15 May 2020 and delaying the first repayment date under the Convertible Facilities Agreement to 15 May 2020, whilst the Company finalises the above mentioned capital expenditure reduction and cost saving programs.

Mercuria remains supportive of the Board and the development of a capital expenditure reduction and cost saving program. The Board is confident agreement will be reached.
