("President", "the Company" or "President Energy")

AGM GROUP UPDATE

President Energy (AIM: PPC), the upstream oil and gas company with a diverse portfolio of production and exploration assets focused primarily in Argentina, will be providing the following update at the Annual General Meeting of the Company due to be held at 11.00 a.m. UK time today.

Key points:

Company Update

President is in a strong trading and financial position with excellent growth prospects. All producing fields are operating profitably, positive cash flow is increasing, margins continue to be robust and there is a busy time ahead this year with new wells and workovers. Combine that with encouraging interest being shown in our significant exploration assets and the ability to make the right acquisitions should they present themselves and the outlook for the rest of the year and 2019 is positive.

Puesto Flores, Argentina

· Current gross production remains approximately 2,100 bopd with as yet three workovers of producing wells having been completed.

· Workover of the injector well has now been successfully completed which will reduce costs of water disposal and the fourth workover of a production well is now in progress with three more lined up after it.

Estancia Vieja , Argentina

· Testing of gas wells at Estancia Vieja is expected to commence tomorrow and will run over approximately two months.

· A further announcement in relation to initial testing results will be made in about one month's time.

· Given the lack of available LNG capacity to sufficiently handle the projected increased gas production from this field, the gas will instead be used initially to power the Estancia Vieja field which will provide a saving of approximately US$30k per month with plans progressing to utilise the gas to power the whole of the Puesto Flores field at a bottom line saving in excess of US$120k per month at that field thereby making in total a positive difference to President's bottom line profit of US$2 million per year.

· Once the testing is completed the optimum way of commercialising excess gas over and above that being used for internal purposes will be determined.

Puesto Guardian and Louisiana

· Puesto Guardian and Louisiana fields continue to produce in line with previous announcements at some 500bopd and 325 boepd respectively.

Exploration assets

· Farm out processes continue in relation to exploration assets in both Argentina and Paraguay. Encouraging interest is being shown in these assets with NDA's having been signed and data rooms being entered.

Peter Levine, Chairman of President, commented:

"President is a profitable oil and gas operating company with room for significant organic growth and the determination and capability to materially expand with the right acquisitions and through exciting large-scale exploration prospects."
