Results of Extraordinary General Meeting

Petroceltic International plc, ("Petroceltic" or "the Company") the upstream oil and gas exploration and production company focused on North Africa, and the Mediterranean, announces that the resolutions proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today to approve, inter alia, an increase in the directors' authority to allot equity securities and the disapplication of pre-emption rights in connection with the Placing, as set out in the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 16 May 2011, were all duly approved by shareholders.

Completion of the Placing remains conditional on Admission of the new shares to trading. It is expected that Admission of the 351,000,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") to trading on AIM and ESM will become effective, and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence, at 8.00am on 13 June 2011. The total number of ordinary shares in issue following completion of the Placing, and the total number of voting rights, will be 2,369,105,049.

The above figure of 2,369,105,049 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Petroceltic.

Unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms used in this announcement shall have the meanings give to them in the circular to shareholders of the Company dated 12 May 2011, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: www.petroceltic.com
