Maurel & Prom: a combined general meeting

In order to achieve enhanced reactivity and increased financial flexibility,
Maurel & Prom will soon invite its shareholders to attend an ordinary and
extraordinary general meeting. They will be called to vote on the renewal of
existing authorisations and to grant new financial delegations to the Board of
Directors.

These delegations of competence and financial authorizations will allow the
board of directors to seize market opportunities in terms of investment and
refinancing which could appear from this beginning of year, without having to
wait for the annual general meeting planned for June.
