Total Voting Rights
Separately, the Company would like to clarify its Total Voting Rights position as stated in previous announcements. On 28 February 2019 and 23 August 2019, the Company announced that it had awarded, in aggregate 6,030,000 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") and that all of these RSUs had vested immediately and converted into common shares. The Company now wishes to clarify that 130,000 of these RSUs have yet to be converted into common shares. Following the exercise of options at a price of CAD 0.30 of 24 October 2019 by an external consultant, announced on 20 November 2019, a further 178,750 common shares have been issued (the "Option Exercise"). Application has been made for an additional 48,750 common shares pursuant to the Option Exercise (in light of the 130,000 unexercised RSUs) which will rank pari passu with existing Common Shares, to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8:00 a.m. on 28 November 2019.
Following Admission, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will be 184,447,723 common shares ("ISC"). The above figure may be used by shareholders 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, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Notes to editors
About Eco Atlantic:
Eco Atlantic is a TSX-V and AIM quoted Oil & Gas exploration and production Company with interests in Guyana and Namibia, where significant oil discoveries have been made.
The Group aims to deliver material value for its stakeholders through oil exploration, appraisal and development activities in stable emerging markets, in partnership with major oil companies, including Tullow, Total and Azinam.
In Guyana, Eco Guyana holds a 15% working interest alongside Total (25%) and Tullow Oil (60%) in the 1,800 km2 Orinduik Block in the shallow water of the prospective Suriname-Guyana basin. The Orinduik Block is adjacent and updip to ExxonMobil and Hess Corporation's Stabroek Block, on which thirteen discoveries have been announced and over 6 Billion BOE of oil equivalent recoverable resources are estimated. First oil production is expected from the deep-water Liza Field in 2020.
Jethro-1 was the first major oil discovery on Orinduik Block. The Jethro-1 encountered 180.5 feet (55 meters) of net high-quality oil pay in excellent Lower Tertiary sandstone reservoirs which further proves recoverable oil resources. Joe-1 is the second discovery on the Orinduik Block and comprises high quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoir with a high porosity of Upper Tertiary age. The Joe-1 well encountered 52 feet (16 meters) of continuous thick sandstone which further proves the presence of recoverable oil resources.
In Namibia, the Company holds interests in four offshore petroleum licences totalling approximately 25,000km2 with over 2.3bboe of prospective P50 resources in the Walvis and Lüderitz Basins. These four licences, Cooper, Guy, Sharon and Tamar are being developed alongside partners Azinam and NAMCOR. Eco has been granted a drilling permit on its Cooper Block (Operator).
