Vanoil Energy Ltd. ("Vanoil" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VEL) has entered
into a non-binding letter of intent dated May 16, 2011, with respect to an arm's
length business combination under which the shareholders of a private company
("private company") would receive 4.25 shares of Vanoil for every one share of
the total outstanding shares of Vanoil in exchange for all the securities of the
private company or its affiliate holding certain oil and gas interests in the
Middle East, subject to adjustment based on the geological report being prepared
by the private company. The transaction would constitute a reverse takeover of
Vanoil by the private company or the affiliate under the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The transaction is subject to satisfactory due
diligence by both parties and to completion of definitive documentation by June
10, 2011, following which the name of the private company and full descriptions
of its assets will be publicly disclosed. During the due diligence period,
Vanoil will continue with its 373 km 2D seismic program in Kenya, which has
commenced and plan for the upcoming 3D seismic program later this year. Further,
the Company continues its exploration activities and is planning for a 2D marine
seismic program at Lake Kivu in Rwanda.


The largest shareholders of Vanoil, Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd. and
Firebird Global Master Fund II, Ltd. (the "Firebird Funds") have agreed to vote
an aggregate of 13,764,744 shares (representing approximately 40.4% of Vanoil's
outstanding shares) in favour of the transaction (the "Support Agreement"). The
Support Agreement is subject to satisfactory due diligence by the Firebird
Funds. In addition, in the event of a bona fide unsolicited superior proposal,
the Firebird Funds will be released from their voting commitment.


In addition to the due diligence and definitive documentation conditions, the
transaction is subject to the approval of Vanoil shareholders and to all
requisite government and regulatory approvals, the TSXV and other interested
parties and authorities. The transaction is also subject to completion of an
equity financing of approximately CAD $50 million (the "Financing"). Upon the
successful closing of the Financing, the combined company will have significant
funds to carry on its work commitments on its oil and gas concessions, including
the Production Sharing Contracts executed by the Company on Blocks 3A and 3B in
Kenya and the concession in Rwanda. 


Vanoil and the private company expect to be in receipt of their respective
National Instrument 51-101 Reserve Reports within 30 days.
