GEOPARK ANNOUNCES
RESUMPTION OF SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
Santiago, Chile -- June 3, 2016 -- GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark”) (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator and consolidator with operations and producing properties in Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Peru1, today announced that it will resume its repurchase program of up to US$10 million of common shares, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Shares”) of the Company (the “Repurchase Program”), which had expired on May 09, 2016. As of the date hereof, approximately US$2.0 million in shares have been purchased by GeoPark under the Repurchase Program.
The Repurchase Program will resume on June 3, 2016 and will expire at the close of business on August 9, 2016, but it may be terminated prior to this date.
The share repurchases may be made from time-to-time through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, regulatory, and other relevant factors. GeoPark has engaged BTG Pactual US Capital LLC to act as its broker in connection with the Repurchase Program. The shares repurchased will be used to offset, in part, any expected dilution effects resulting from the Company’s employee incentive schemes, including grants under the Company’s Stock Award Plan and the Limited Non-Executive Director Plan.
