Erin Energy Responds to Inaccurate Media Reports Regarding Oyo Field Operations

Business Wire
Erin Energy Corporation (“Erin Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American:ERN) (JSE:ERN) today responded to recent media reports
regarding its Oyo field operations, calling the articles
inaccurate.
Most of the articles’ content, which appeared in print and
online, contained nearly identical text, indicating it was likely
sourced from an unidentified third party. The articles erroneously
contended that a Nigerian court had ordered the “take over” of the
Oyo oil field.
In fact, a party attempted to enforce a writ against certain
Erin Energy equipment. The writ in question was based on a court
order pertaining to parties unrelated to Erin Energy, and a
Nigerian court has subsequently ruled that actions taken to enforce
the writ against Erin Energy were an abuse of legal process.
“We take seriously these inaccuracies floating around, and
caution those behind these stories, and their agents, from
misleading members of the public in the future,” said Femi Ayoade,
Chief Executive Officer.
