  Vantage Energy Services,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Vantage&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;) issued a
  press release announcing&#160; that it has
  scheduled a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve
  the previously announced definitive share purchase agreement (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;),
  which provides for the acquisition of Offshore Group Investment Limited (&#147;OGIL&#148;).
  OGIL currently owns the contracts for the construction and delivery of four
  Baker Marine Pacific Class&nbsp;375 ultra-premium jackup drilling rigs, a
  contract to acquire an ultra-deepwater drillship and an option to purchase a
  second ultra-deepwater drillship. The Acquisition is structured such that OGIL
  and Vantage will become wholly owned by Vantage Drilling Company. Vantage Drilling
  Company was recently incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to facilitate
  the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As part of the
  Acquisition, (i)&nbsp;Vantage will exchange, on a one-for-one basis, its units,
  shares of common stock and warrants for newly issued units, ordinary shares and
  warrants of Vantage Drilling with the same terms and conditions and (ii)&nbsp;the
  ordinary shares of OGIL will be transferred to Vantage Drilling in exchange for
  consideration comprised of cash and securities of Vantage Drilling.&nbsp; The
  proposed Acquisition is, among other customary closing conditions, subject to a
  stockholder vote by the stockholders of Vantage.</font></p>

  contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities

  the share purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; the
  successful completion of debt financing; the number and percentage of Vantage&#146;s
  stockholders voting against the Acquisition; changing interpretations of
  generally accepted accounting principles; relocation of Vantage&#146;s home
  jurisdiction; continued compliance with government regulations; legislation or
  regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting the

  OGIL provides; construction delays and cost overruns; cyclical business and
  lack of diversification; general economic conditions; geopolitical events and

  scheduled a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve
  the previously announced definitive share purchase agreement (the "Acquisition"),

  OGIL currently owns the contracts for the construction and delivery of four
  Baker Marine Pacific Class 375 ultra-premium jackup drilling rigs, a

  Acquisition, (i) Vantage will exchange, on a one-for-one basis, its units,
  shares of common stock and warrants for newly issued units, ordinary shares and

  ordinary shares of OGIL will be transferred to Vantage Drilling in exchange for
  consideration comprised of cash and securities of Vantage Drilling.  The
  proposed Acquisition is, among other customary closing conditions, subject to a
  stockholder vote by the stockholders of Vantage.
