Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - December 20, 2018) - Tethys Petroleum Limited (TSXV: TPL.H) ("Tethys" or the "Company") today announces that Tethys' board has received a verbal expression of interest for a possible acquisition of a significant number of Tethys' ordinary shares from representatives of existing shareholders Jaka Partners FZC and Gemini IT Consultants DMCC ("the New Investors"). The structure of the transaction is being discussed though the New Investors or their affiliates would acquire up to 70% of Tethys' issued and outstanding ordinary shares not yet owned at a price of US$0.06 in cash payable on closing and up to 30% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares not yet owned would be exchanged for preference shares of Tethys which shares would be automatically redeemed at a price of US$0.18 after three years. Tethys has received shareholder approval to effect a 10:1 share consolidation and the aforementioned references to per share pricing are based on pricing pre-consolidation and will be adjusted to give effect to the consolidation.

Negotiations are progressing but no definitive agreement has yet been reached. While both the New Investors and the board are working toward a mutually satisfactory agreement, there can be no assurances that a definitive agreement will be reached or that the transaction will go ahead, or if a transaction proceeds, when it will proceed or the exact terms on which it will proceed. Nevertheless, the board wanted to make shareholders aware of this development so they can exercise caution when trading in Tethys shares.
