           Response to Requisition of Shareholder Meeting

                          15 February 2013


Ithaca Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IAE) (LSE: IAE) announces that further to
a
press release issued by JEC Capital Partners, LLC ("JEC"), JEC, JEC II
Associates, LLC and Anthion Master Fund, LP have issued a requisition
to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ithaca to call a meeting of
shareholders for the purpose of adding two new directors to the Board,
neither of which have energy industry experience.

Ithaca is committed to considering the views of its shareholders and
making decisions in the best interests of all of its shareholders.
Ithaca has formal corporate governance procedures in place for
assessing the composition of the Board and for appointing new directors
to the Board. As such, the Board does not support the proposal put to
the Company by the two shareholders and does not consider it to be in
the best interests of all of its shareholders.

Ithaca will make a further announcement in due course.
