The listing on Nasdaq First North

Matra Petroleum believes that the significant decline in the crude oil and gas prices between 2014 and 2016, opens up opportunities for companies with access to capital to acquire and develop low-risk producing oil and gas assets with attractive risk/return characteristics. Matra Petroleum considers that the listing will offer the Company and its shareholders a number of benefits, including:

• Support for the Company's objective to develop and acquire producing oil and gas properties going forward;
• Enhancing the profile of Matra Petroleum's business and status with existing and potential business partners;
• Improved access to the capital market and liquidity for the Company's shareholders; and
• Increased flexibility in reviewing and capitalizing on growth opportunities.
