Amerisur shareholders should seek advice from an independent financial adviser as to the suitability of any action for the individual concerned in connection with the Offer.

This part of the website contains information that has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law and the Takeover Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this information had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside of England.
Notice to US investors
Shareholders of Amerisur ordinarily resident in the US or with a registered address in the US (and any custodian, nominee or trustee holding Amerisur shares for persons in the US or with a registered address in the US) (US Holders) should note that the Offer relates to the securities of an English company and is subject to UK disclosure requirements and practices (which are different from those of the US).
The Offer may be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement or a takeover offer. A scheme of arrangement under English company law is not subject to the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as amended) (the US Exchange Act), and the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act would not apply to such an offer. A scheme of arrangement would be subject to UK disclosure requirements and practices, which are different from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. Any financial information included in this section of the website has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and thus may not be comparable to financial information of companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. If GeoPark Colombia were to implement the Offer by way of a takeover offer, any such takeover offer would be made in compliance with applicable US tender offer and securities laws and regulations.
It may be difficult for US Holders to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since GeoPark Colombia and Amerisur are located in countries other than the US, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the US. US Holders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward looking statements. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
