Additional Shares Listing & Advance Notice By-Law Approval

11 October 2013

Ithaca Energy Inc. (TSX: IAE, LSE AIM: IAE) ("Ithaca" or the "Company") announces the listing of an additional 484,334 common shares in the Company and provides notice of the approval of the Board of Directors of the advanced notice by-law that was approved by shareholders at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders in June 2013.

Additional Shares Listing

Following the recent exercise of share options by Ithaca employees (none of whom are Officers or Directors), the Company has issued and allotted a total of 484,334 common shares ("New Common Shares") and has applied for these New Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission of the New Common Shares is expected to occur on 17 October 2013. Each New Common Share will rank pari passu with the existing common shares.

Following the issue and allotment of the New Common Shares,the Company will have a total of 322,233,620 common shares in issue with one voting right per common share. There are no common shares held in treasury. The total number of voting shares in the Company is therefore 322,233,620. This figure 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the UK Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The total number of common shares under option is now 16,476,900, representing approximately 4.9% of the total shares outstanding and under option.

Advance Notice By-Law

The Board of Directors has approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the "By-law") that was approved by Ithaca's shareholders at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders on 27 June 2013.

Among other things, the By-law fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of Director nominations to the Company in order for such nominations to be proposed at annual or special meetings of shareholders where Directors are to be elected. Further, the By-law sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 days, nor more than 65 days, prior to the date set for the annual meeting. The By-law is effective immediately. A copy of the By-law was included in the proxy materials mailed to shareholders in connection with the meeting on 27 June 2013 and has been filed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
