WENTWORTH RESOURCES LIMITED
(Wentworth or the Company)

Corporate update

Wentworth, the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE: WRL) and AIM (AIM: WRL) listed
independent, East Africa-focused oil&gas company, provides the following
corporate update.

Chief Executive Officer

Further to the Companys announcement dated 15 January 2018, Mr Eskil Jersing
has today joined Wentworth as Chief Executive Officer. He will be appointed
to the Board with effect from 27 June 2018 at the Companys Annual and
Special Meeting.

Redomicile of the Company

As previously announced, in line with the head office relocation of the
Company from Calgary to London, the re-domicile of the Company to the British
Isles is progressing on schedule. Having considered various options, the
Company is working towards a Continuance of the Company into Jersey,
Channel Islands (the Continuance).

The Continuance is a legal process whereby, following shareholder approval by
way of a special resolution, the Board of the Company will apply to:

* The Registrar of Corporations in Alberta to grant a certificate of
discontinuance; and
* The Jersey Financial Services Commission for their approval of the
Continuance.

Upon such approval:

* The Company will cease to be a company registered in Alberta, Canada and
will be registered in Jersey, Channel Islands;
* Shareholders will continue to hold one share of the Company for each Common
Share currently held. The principal attributes of the share capital of the
Company will be identical, before and after the Continuance, other than
differences in shareholders rights under the new Articles and under Jersey
law as compared to the current articles and Albertan law;
* The Company will adopt a new Memorandum of Association and Articles of
Association (the Articles);
* The Companys shares are expected to continue to be traded on AIM and the
Oslo Børs; (with an Oslo Børs delisting application being submitted shortly
thereafter); and
* All property and rights to which the Company was entitled immediately
before the Continuance will remain the property and rights of the Company
post Continuance and the Company will remain subject to all criminal and
civil liabilities, all contracts, debts and other obligations and all legal
proceedings, to which it was subject immediately before the Continuance.

Full details of the Continuance process and its implications will be provided,
in due course, in a Continuance Circular.

Delisting from Oslo Børs

The intent behind the redomicile is to reduce costs and simplify the Companys
corporate structure. The Board believes the redomicile process will provide a
positive long-term benefit for all of its shareholders and improve the
overall liquidity and risk profile of the stock.

To further this objective, the Company is also seeking to de-list from the
Oslo Børs, which is consistent with the Companys plan to move towards a UK
based corporate governance regime and is in line with the appointment of a UK
based management team. The Company is confident that the AIM market provides
sufficient liquidity and ease of trading for all shareholders.

The Directors are mindful that the Companys members include a number of
non-institutional shareholders located in Norway and it invites shareholders,
in the first instance, to engage with the Companys management should they
have any questions on the aforementioned. Email contact details are set out
at the base of this announcement.

Bob McBean, Executive Chairman, said:

The Company is focused on moving to a simplified corporate structure and
corporate governance regime that will increase liquidity, reduce overheads
and allow the new UK based management team to drive the business forward.
Furthermore, the benefits of being in a similar time zone to our assets and
key partner Maurel et Prom, in addition to London providing a critical centre
for M&A and capital solutions with respect to the African Oil and Gas
industry, are well known. We believe a redomicile to Jersey and, a delisting
from the Oslo Børs will help meet these objectives. We would welcome
engagement with any shareholders to discuss any issues arising from the
proposed changes and, of course, we will seek appropriate shareholder
approval for the proposed changes before they are implemented.
