FAR EAST ENERGY URGES VOTE FOR BOARD’S NOMINEES TODAY
Says This Is The Time to Demonstrate Support for the Company and Its Program of
Building Stockholder Value for All Stockholders
HOUSTON, Texas December 14, 2006 — Far East Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FEEC) said today that it has posted a letter to stockholders on its Web site urging stockholders to vote for the Board’s nominees. In the letter, CEO and President Michael R. McElwrath said, “Today is the day to show your support for your Company and its program of building value for all stockholders.”
The full text of the letter follows:
December 14, 2006
Dear Valued Stockholder:
On behalf of your Board of Directors, we urge you to vote theWHITE proxy cardTODAY.
Today is the day to show your support for your Company and its program of building value for all stockholders. You have heard us say that we are excited about what we believe is our discovery of an area of high permeability coupled with high gas content. And now, as we move forward with the drilling and dewatering process, we need your vote. We are committed to building stockholder value today and over the long term.
We are proud of the company we are building. Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), a leading proxy advisory service, granted Far East a 2006 Corporate Governance Quotient (CGQ) universe rating of 93.9% — this means we outperformed 93.9% of the companies in the CGQ
universe. This compares with a 2005 CGQ universe rating of 64% — meaning we outperformed 64% of the companies in the CGQ universe. This is a great improvement in only one year’s time, and we are proud to point to that record.
This is not the time for change. It is the time to build upon the Company’s momentum by votingFOR your Board’s nominees.
We urge you to voteTODAY.
You may be able to vote by Internet or telephone. Please review your WHITE proxy card to see if those means are available. If so, this is the best way to ensure that your vote is received in time to be counted at the meeting. Please follow the instructions to voteFOR your Board’s nominees at the December 15, 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Otherwise, please sign, date and return theWHITE proxy cardFOR your Board’s nominees as soon as possible.
