Trinity Exploration & Production Plc

(the "Company" or "Trinity"; AIM:TRIN)

Loan update

On 27 July, 2016, Trinity announced that it had agreed a new moratorium on principal repayments (the "Moratorium"), relating to Trinity's outstanding debt with its senior secured lender, Citibank, until 15 August 2016. In addition, the Company re-affirmed that it was continuing to pursue a wider financial restructuring solution.

The discussions in relation to the potential financial restructuring continue and so the Company had sought a further agreement with Citibank to extend the Moratorium beyond 15 August 2016 to enable the Company to try and negotiate and complete a wider financial restructuring. The Company received a proposal, late yesterday, from Citibank to extend the Moratorium; however, the Directors believed that they need to seek clarity on a number of issues outlined therein. As a result, the Moratorium has technically lapsed, but the Directors are confident that these issues can be resolved and that the proposed extension to the Moratorium can be agreed.

Further announcements will therefore be made as appropriate.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
