13. Additional information

NWOGaction fully supports the candidacies of Adam Reynolds, Nicholas Mustoe and Mark Collingbourne for election to the board of New World Oil & Gas at the forthcoming AGM.

Following New World's shareholder call, NWOGaction has listened to, reflected upon and rejects the contentious premises on which the current board of directors of New World Oil & Gas appears to be basing its decisions.

NWOGaction continues in the firm expectation that, as previously agreed, the AGM will be convened sooner rather than later and certainly before any commitments are made to further capital expenditure.
