Update on CRA Review

Petrodorado also wishes to provide an update regarding the letter (the “CRA Letter”) received by Petrodorado from the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) which seeks further information regarding various historical transactions undertaken by Petrodorado, including various asset and corporate divestitures undertaken over the past few years and the return of capital distribution completed in April 2016. Petrodorado is of the view that all of its tax filings were done in accordance with applicable law and has been working with the CRA to provide the information that they require in order to support the Company's tax filings. Petrodorado had a meeting with representatives of the CRA regarding these matters and is of the view that it was a positive meeting and looks forward to continuing to work with the CRA to satisfy them that the transactions of the Company being reviewed by the CRA were properly presented in Petrodorado's tax filings and that no outstanding amounts are expected to be payable as a result of this information gathering process being performed by the CRA.
