AXL:CC - Arrow Announces PDMR Exercise of Options
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2024) - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL) (TSXV: AXL), the high-growth operator with a portfolio of assets across key Colombian hydrocarbon basins, announces the exercise of options by two Directors.
Arrow announces that the following directors exercised 416,667 options for common share of no par value ("Common Share"). A summary of the options exercised is as follows:
| Options Exercised |
| Strike Price |
| Market Price at Exercise |
| Ravi Sharma |
| 83,334 |
| CAD 0.26 |
| CAD 0.40 |
| Grant Carnie |
| 333,333 |
| CAD 0.26 |
| CAD 0.40 |
| Total |
| 416,667 |
The option exercise was accepted by the Company on March 28, 2024. The options, some of which were set to expire immediately, were exercised at this time as the Company is expected to have limited periods in which Directors would be able to exercise options. The options have been exercised on a "cashless" basis. Under the terms of the Company's share option plan approved at the Company's AGM on 20 September 2023, this 'cashless' method results in the Company paying the option holder the value of the option (market price less strike price) from cash reserves. Accordingly, no new shares were issued for the option exercise.
Following the exercise of the options referred to above, there has been no change in the shareholding of the Directors. Mr. Sharma holds 13,370 Common Shares (representing 0.34 per cent of the issued Common Shares) and Mr. Carnie does not own any shares of the Company.

About Arrow Exploration Corp.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. Arrow's 50% interest in the Tapir Block is contingent on the assignment by Ecopetrol SA of such interest to Arrow. Arrow's seasoned team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".
