GeoPark Limited Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents for Its 8.750% Senior Notes Due 2030

Bogota, Colombia, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GeoPark Limited (NYSE: GPRK) (the “Company”) today announced that it has received the requisite consents in connection with its previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its 8.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Consent Solicitation was made pursuant to a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated September 15, 2026 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”). The proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Notes is to amend the definition of “Permitted Holders” in the Indenture to include Jaime Gilinski Bacal and his Immediate Family Members (as defined in the Indenture) or the former spouses (including widows and widowers), heirs or lineal descendants of any of the foregoing and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. Jaime Gilinski Bacal is affiliated with Grupo Gilinski, which through affiliated entities has through a number of transactions recently purchased approximately 28% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares. GeoPark’s recently announced proposed major strategic entry into Venezuela through the Bare field, a large-scale producing heavy oil asset located in the Orinoco Heavy Oil Belt, was led by Grupo Gilinski. GeoPark is acquiring Grupo Gilinski’s 95% interest in the holding company through which the Bare opportunity is held in exchange for newly issued common shares. The proposed transaction has not yet closed and remains subject to certain conditions. Upon completion of the share issuance, Grupo Gilinski is expected to hold approximately 56.3% of GeoPark’s issued and outstanding common shares. Pursuant to the Indenture, a “Change of Control” will generally not be triggered by the consummation of a transaction the result of which is that a Permitted Holder becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Indenture, if a Change of Control occurs, the Company is required to make an Offer to Purchase (as defined in the Indenture) for all of the outstanding Notes.
