OFFERING MEMORANDUM
NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION IN
THE UNITED STATES
30SEP201314324849
Tullow Oil plc
$800,000,000
7% Senior Notes due 2025
Guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of its subsidiaries
Tullow Oil plc, incorporated as a public limited company under the laws of England and Wales (the ``Company''), is offering $800,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 7% Senior Notes due 2025 (the ``Notes''), which will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the
``Indenture'') to be dated as of March 23, 2018 (the ``Issue Date''). We will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on March 1 and
September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2018. The Notes will mature on March 1, 2025.
At any time on or after March 1, 2021, we may redeem all or part of the Notes, upon not less than ten calendar days' notice, by paying
the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum (the ``Offering Memorandum''). Prior to March 1, 2021, we will be entitled,
at our option, to redeem all or a portion of the Notes by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and additional amounts, if any, plus a ``make-whole'' premium. In addition, prior to March 1, 2021 we may redeem, at our
option, up to 35% of the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in this
Offering Memorandum. If we undergo certain events defined as constituting a change of control, each holder may require us to make an
offer to repurchase its Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. In the
event of certain developments affecting taxation, we may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes. See ``Description of the Notes.''
The Notes will be senior unsecured debt of the Company and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future
obligations of the Company that are not expressly contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including under the RBL
Facilities, the Corporate Facility, the 2022 Senior Notes and the Company's guarantee of the Convertible Bonds (each as defined herein).
The Notes initially will be guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis (the ``Note Guarantees'') by certain of our subsidiaries (the
``Guarantors''), which also guarantee each of the 2022 Senior Notes and the Convertible Bonds on the same basis. The Notes will be
structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes, including
any trade payables and letters of credit issued by such subsidiaries and any obligations of Tullow Oil (Jersey) Limited under the
Convertible Bonds. The Notes and Note Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness and other secured
obligations of the Company or the relevant Guarantor (including obligations with respect to the RBL Facilities and the Corporate Facility)
to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness or other obligations (other than to the extent such assets in the
future also secure the Notes and/or the relevant Note Guarantees on an equal and ratable basis or priority basis). See ``Description of
certain financing arrangements.''
This Offering Memorandum includes information on the terms of the Notes and Note Guarantees, including redemption and repurchase
prices, covenants, events of default and transfer restrictions.
There is currently no public market for the Notes. We have applied to have the Notes admitted to listing on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF. There can be no assurance that the Notes will be, or will remain, listed and
admitted to trade on the Euro MTF. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law
on prospectus for securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
Investing in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. See the ``Risk factors'' section of this Offering
Memorandum beginning on page 27 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection
with an investment in any of the Notes.
Offering Price for the Notes: 100.000% plus accrued interest, if any, from the Issue Date.
We expect that the Notes will be delivered in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') on or about the Issue
Date. The Notes will be in registered form and will be initially issued in denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof and will only be transferable in minimum principal amounts of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ``U.S. Securities Act''), or the
securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. In the United States, this offering is
being made only to ``qualified institutional buyers'' (``QIBs'') (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act) in compliance with
Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act (``Rule 144A''). You are hereby notified that the Initial Purchasers of the Notes may be relying on
the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Outside of the United States, this
offering is being made in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (``Regulation S''). For further details about eligible
offerees and resale restrictions, see ``Plan of distribution'' and ``Notice to investors.''

Notice to certain other investors
MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target
market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in
Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, ``MiFID II''); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes
to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a ``distributor'') should take into consideration
the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either
adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic
Area (``EEA''). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a
retail client as defined in point (11) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of
Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the ``Insurance Mediation Directive''), where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the ``PRIIPs Regulation'') for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful
under the PRIIPS Regulation.
Austria The Notes may be offered and sold in the Republic of Austria only in compliance with
the Austrian Capital Markets Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) as amended (the ``Austrian Capital
Markets Act'') and applicable European Union legislation. This Offering Memorandum has not
been approved under the Austrian Capital Markets Act or the Directive 2003/71/EC, and
accordingly the Notes may not be offered publicly in Austria.
Belgium The Notes are not offered, directly or indirectly, to the public in Belgium. The Notes
are being offered in Belgium to qualified investors only, within the meaning of Article 3, §2,
a) and 10 of the Belgian law of June 16, 2006 on the public offering of securities and
admission of securities to trading on a regulated market (``Belgian Prospectus Law'') and/or on
the basis of the other exemptions set out in Article 3, §2 of the Belgian Prospectus Law.
Accordingly, this Offering Memorandum has not been and will not be notified to, or approved
by, the Belgian banking, finance and insurance commission (Commissie voor het bank-,
financie- en assurantiewezen/Commission bancaire, financi `ere et des assurances). The Offering
cannot be advertised and this Offering Memorandum and any other information, circular,
vi

brochure or similar documents may not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in Belgium other

exemptions set out in Article 3, §2 of the Belgian Prospectus Law.
