Trading on the TSX and on Nasdaq First North is expected to begin at market open in Toronto and Stockholm today 24 April 2017. The Common Shares will trade under the symbol "IPCO" on both the TSX and Nasdaq First North.

The Reorganization was completed on 7 April 2017. Prior to opening of trading on Nasdaq First North, Lundin Petroleum distributed all of the Common Shares on a pro rata basis to Lundin Petroleum shareholders of record as of close of business in Stockholm on 20 April 2017 ("Record Date") and such holders of Lundin Petroleum shares will receive one Common Share for every three shares of Lundin Petroleum held as of the Record Date (the "Spin-Off"). IPC plans to initially list its shares on Nasdaq First North, with an intention to move to the Nasdaq Stockholm, subject to IPC fulfilling the requirements of Nasdaq Stockholm. Mike Nicholson, CEO of IPC, comments: "I am very pleased to be leading the launch of this exciting new Lundin Group growth company.  Starting at a favourable point in the cycle, we are fortunate to begin with a solid asset base, a strong balance sheet and an excellent team of people who know how to create value in the oil and gas business.  With a deeply experienced Board and strong support from the Lundin family, we have all the ingredients required to build a successful independent upstream company in the years ahead."
