                       Additional Shares Listing
                            23 December 2013

Ithaca Energy Inc. (TSX: IAE, LSE: IAE) ("Ithaca" or the "Company")
announces the listing of an additional 800,000 common shares in the
Company.

Following the recent exercise of expiring share options by a former
Ithaca employee, the Company has issued and allotted a total of 800,000
common shares ("New Common Shares") and has applied for these New
Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission of the New
Common Shares is expected to occur on 30 December 2013. Each New Common
Share will rank pari passu with the existing common shares.

Following the issue and allotment of the New Common Shares, the Company
will have a total of 323,633,620 common shares in issue with one voting
right per common share. There are no common shares held in treasury.
The total number of voting shares in the Company is therefore
323,633,620. This figure may 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 under the UK Financial
Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The total number of common shares under option is now 14,593,567,
representing approximately 4.3% of the total shares outstanding and
under option.
