Further details regarding the terms of the transaction are set out in the Arrangement Agreement and have been provided in a management information circular which is available under the profile of InterOil Corporation at www . sedar . com This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” . All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this document are forward - looking statements . These statements are based on the current belief of InterOil, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to InterOil . No assurances can be given however, that these events will occur . Actual results could differ, and the difference may be material and adverse to the combined company and its shareholders . Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of InterOil, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward looking statements . These include in particular information and statements relating to InterOil’s agreement with Oil Search and the ability to realize the anticipated benefits, Oil Search’s agreement with Total and the ability to realize the anticipated benefits, the ability to complete either of the two transactions, the outcome of any potential alternative transaction proposal, either on the anticipated timeline or at all, the ability to obtain required regulatory and court approvals for the transactions , the combined company's expected growth profile, the anticipated market capitalization of the combined company, the need to integrate the two companies and related costs, business disruptions relating from the transactions, the outcome of any legal proceeding relating to the transactions, the combined company becoming a leading exploration and production champion for Papua New Guinea, the profitability of the combined company, information or statements relating to resources, hydrocarbon volumes, well test results, the estimated timing of the LNG project, the timing and quantum of the certification payment, the costs and break - even prices and potential revenues of the LNG project, the estimated drilling times of the exploration or appraisal wells and estimated 2016 budgets and expenditures, the absence of an established market for natural gas or gas condensate in Papua New Guinea and the ability to extract and sell commercially any natural gas or gas condensate, oil and gas prices, changes in market demand for oil and gas, currency fluctuations, drilling results, field performance, the timing of well work - overs and field development, reserves depletion, fiscal and other governmental issues and approvals, and the other risk factors discussed in InterOil’s publicly available filings, including but not limited to those in InterOIl’s management information circular, InterOil’s annual report for the year ended December 31 , 2015 on Form 40 - F and its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31 , 2015 , as well as the risk that Oil Search and Total do not enter into definitive agreements relating to the MOU between such parties .

– 3 – – 3 – Reference is made in this presentation to contingent resources It should be noted that InterOil has no production or reserves or future net revenue as defined in National Instrument 51 - 101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51 - 101 ”) or under definitions established by the SEC . Trillion cubic feet equivalent ( Tcfe ) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation . A Tcfe conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead . Well test results should be considered as preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long - term performance or of ultimate recovery . Well log interpretations indicating gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery . Estimates of InterOil’s Contingent Resources are based on the independent evaluation by GLJ of Contingent Resources for the Elk - Antelope and Triceratops fields as of December 31 , 2015 (“GLJ Elk - Antelope and Triceratops Report”) and the independent evaluation by RISC of Contingent Resources for the Raptor and Bobcat discoveries as of December 31 , 2015 (“RISC Raptor and Bobcat Report”), which have each been prepared in accordance with the COGE Handbook . All of InterOil’s Contingent Resources have been classified as conventional natural gas and natural gas liquids . Contingent Resources are those quantities of natural gas and condensate estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies . The economic status of the resources is undetermined and there is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources . It should be noted that it is not certain that all fields / accumulations set out above will progress to reserves . The following classification of Contingent Resources are used in this presentation : • Low Estimate (or 1 C) means there is at least a 90 percent probability (P 90 ) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate . • Best Estimate (or 2 C) means there is at least a 50 percent probability (P 50 ) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate . • High Estimate (or 3 C) means there is at least a 10 percent probability (P 10 ) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate . The estimates of Contingent Resources provided in this presentation are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated Contingent Resources will be recovered . Actual Contingent Resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this in this presentation and the differences may be material . There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by GLJ and RISC in evaluating InterOil’s Contingent Resources will be attained and variances could be material . There is also uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any part of the Contingent Resources . For a discussion of the Contingent Resources project evaluation scenario, economics status and maturity subclass as well as the change, timing and development of Contingent Resources evaluated pursuant to the GLJ Elk - Antelope and Triceratops Report and the RISC Raptor and Bobcat Report, see Schedule A to InterOil’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31 , 2015 which is available on www . interoil . com or from the SEC at www . sec . gov or on SEDAR at www . sedar . com . Accuracy of resource estimates The accuracy of resource estimates is in part a function of the quality and quantity of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment . Other factors in the classification as a resource include a requirement for more appraisal wells, detailed design estimates and near - term development plans . The size of the resource estimate could be positively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional appraisal wells or seismic determine that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir is larger than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic and/or well data . The size of the resource estimate could be negatively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional appraisal wells or seismic determine that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir are less than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic and/or well data .
