Circle Oil Plc

("Circle" or the "Company")

Statement regarding the Shareholding of Libya Oil Holdings Ltd ("LOH")

The Company has reviewed the Council Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 of 2 March 2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya and the Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 233/2011 of 10 March 2011 (together the "Regulations").

Having taken legal advice, the Company considers that the ordinary shares that are beneficially held by LOH, representing 17.75 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company, are subject to the Regulations and are therefore effectively frozen. The Company has today informed LOH that it will not register any transfer in respect of the shares until further notice.

This action has no effect on the ongoing operations of the Company.
