SacOil announces that, following the shareholder vote yesterday against Special Resolution Number 1, Messrs John Bentley and Bill Guest have resigned as non-executive directors and Mr Robin Vela has resigned as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company with immediate effect. The three directors, representing a majority of the board, believed that the conversion of the Gairloch Limited loans to equity was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and had recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving such conversion.

Following these resignations application has been made for the trading of the Company’s shares on AIM and the JSE to be suspended pending further appointments to the board. Shareholders will be kept appraised of matters in this regard.
