Receipt of Bond Consents
24 March 2017

Ithaca Energy Inc. (TSX: IAE; LSE: IAE) (“Ithaca” or the “Company”) announces that it has received consents from holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of its $300 million 8.125% senior notes due July 2019 (the “Notes”) necessary to approve the proposed waiver and amendments to the change of control provisions included in the indenture governing the Notes as they relate to the takeover offer made by DKL Investments Limited, an affiliate of Delek Group Ltd (“Delek”), and as further described in the consent solicitation statement dated 15 March 2017 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”).

Ithaca has executed a supplemental indenture to the Notes to this effect. The Supplemental Indenture is effective, and therefore consents are no longer revocable. Implementation of the Supplemental Indenture is conditional upon the takeover offer by Delek being completed, at which point, or promptly thereafter, the Supplemental Indenture will become operative.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the consent solicitation are set out in the Consent Solicitation Statement, which holders of the Notes can obtain from Global Bondholder Services Corporation (“GBSC”), the Tabulation Agent and Information Agent for the solicitation. Requests for copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement should be directed to GBSC: +1-212-430-3774; contact@gbsc-usa.com. The Consent Solicitation Statement can also be obtained from the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication may include “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements provide the Group’s current expectations, intentions or forecasts of future events.
