On May 27, 2015 Alpha Prospects PLC issued the following press release regarding its interest in Empire Energy Corporation International.

EMPIRE ENERGY UPDATE

SMART WIN AGREEMENT

Alpha Prospects Plc, the investment management company listed on the GXG Exchange, focused on companies with fast growth and/or recovery prospects, announces that agreement has been reached between Empire Energy Corporation International Inc (“Empire”) and Smart Win International Limited (“Smart Win”).

Tasmanian Oil And Gas Limited (“TOG”), in which Alpha holds a majority shareholding, will be working closely with Empire to develop the Tasmanian interests.

The following statement was issued by Paul Batista, Empire’s US counsel:

“Empire Energy Corporation International and Empire’s Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm Bendall, and Smart Win International Limited have agreed to resolve their claims and counterclaims on a basis that allows Empire the opportunity to continue to finance and purse Empire’s business plans and historical assets in the Tasmanian Basin. The settlement agreement, which is confidential, permits Smart Win to retain an equity investment in Empire.

The resolution between Smart Win and Empire will, in the opinion of Empire’s management, give Empire the ability to pursue the parties, such as Hunt Energy and others, which were responsible for the impairment of Empire’s assets and business plans.

Empire recognises that third parties with improper pre-meditated objectives were responsible for the loss of Empire’s business plan to exploit oil and gas energy resources covered by licenses issued to Empire and one of its subsidiaries by the Tasmanian Government.

The settlement empowers Empire to focus on its efforts to implement plans to exploit oil and other energy resources in Tasmania.”

TOG Investment

Alpha Prospects Plc ("Alpha"), the investment management company listed on the GXG Exchange, focused on companies with fast growth and/or recovery prospects, is pleased to announce that it has today purchased 4,500,000 shares (representing a 44.7% shareholding) in Tasmanian Oil and Gas Ltd ("TOG") from Empire Energy Corporation International, Inc. ("EEGC"), and 2,500,001 shares (representing 24.8%) from TXO Plc.

The consideration payable to EEGC is £346,095, which is to be satisfied by the issue of 13,843,800 new Alpha shares at 2.5p each and for TXO the payment of £ 192,275 is to be satisfied by the issue of 7,691,000 new Alpha shares.

Following these transactions Alpha will own a total of 9,066,959 shares in TOG equating to 90.2%.

Post the above share issues, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 309,645,777 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury. The figure of 309,645,777 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.

EEGC's holding will be 13,843,800 shares and TXO's 7,691,000 shares, representing 4.5% and 2.5% of the issued share capital of Alpha, respectively.

Christopher Foster, CEO of Alpha Prospects Plc, commented: "Having acquired control of TOG, we look forward to working with the team in Tasmania, who have exceptional local knowledge, to drive the business forward. A number of licence applications are being worked on to develop and expand the Tasmanian interests, which the Board believe offer an excellent opportunity based on results to date."
