Resolution to approve the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement. Accordingly, the
resolution was passed.



The Acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions, as described in the
Circular posted to Gulf Keystone Shareholders on 13 April 2007, and as
subsequently amended, as announced earlier today.


Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions, the Amalgamation is
currently anticipated to be completed by no later than 11 August 2007.


Unless otherwise stated, defined terms used in this announcement shall have the
same meaning as those used in the Circular posted to Gulf Keystone Shareholders
