Announcement (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send it into or from Australia or Japan.  Doing so may
render invalid any related purported acceptance of the Offer.

    This announcement may contain various "forward-looking statements" relating to the Offer and/or Rosco, that are subject to risks and

variations thereof, or comparable terminology indicating Rosco's and/or Arawak's expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  Rosco
cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the

statements. These factors include changes in regulatory environment, foreign political, economic and currency risks associated with the integration of recently acquired companies.

    Dealing Disclosure Requirements

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of Arawak, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Arawak (including by means of an option in respect
of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the Offer
becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If
two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in
"relevant securities" of Arawak, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Arawak by Rosco or Arawak, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the

such securities in issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakoverpanel.org.uk.  

    "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in
the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

    Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether
or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    28 October 2008


    CASH OFFER 

    for

    ARAWAK ENERGY LIMITED

    by

    ROSCO S.A.
    (a member of the Vitol Group)

    1.    Introduction

    The board of Rosco announces the terms of a pre-conditional all cash offer to be made by Rosco for the entire issued and to be issued
share capital of Arawak.

    2.    The Offer

    The Offer, which will be subject to the Pre-Condition, Conditions and the further terms set out below and in Appendix I and the full
terms and conditions which will be set out in the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance, will be made on the following basis:
    for each Arawak Share            CAD 0.90 (44.9 pence*) in cash

    *Based on a currency exchange rate of CAD 2.0065 to �1.00 (being the Bloomberg Rate as at 5.00 pm (London time) on 27 October 2008).

    The Offer price of CAD 0.90 per Arawak Share values the entire issued share capital of Arawak at approximately CAD 164.4 million (�81.9
million).  Arawak Shares will be acquired under the Offer with the right to receive any dividend declared, made or paid on or after 28
October 2008.

    The price to be paid in the Offer represents a premium of approximately:

    * 127 per cent. to the London Stock Exchange closing middle market price of 19.8 pence per Arawak Share; and 
    * 157 per cent. to the Toronto Stock Exchange closing price of CAD 0.35 per Arawak Share,

    in each case on 27 October 2008, the last business day prior to the date of this Announcement.

    A currency exchange facility will be made available to Arawak Shareholders under which they will be able to elect to receive their
consideration in pounds sterling at the Bloomberg Rate on the latest reasonably practicable date for fixing such rate prior to the relevant
payment date. No commission will be charged for using this facility.

    3.    Background to and reasons for the Offer

    Rosco views Arawak as an attractive addition to the Vitol Group's portfolio of businesses and an opportunity to further enhance the
company's participation in oil and gas exploration and production.  Rosco believes that its knowledge of the oil and gas sector combined
with the skills and experience of the employees and management of Arawak will provide a well positioned platform for continued growth. 

    4.    Information on Rosco

    Rosco is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland and currently holds 67,315,812 common shares in Arawak
representing approximately 36.86 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Arawak.

    Rosco is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitol Holding S?, which is the holding company under which most of the trading operations of the
Vitol Group are held.  Vitol Holding S? is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitol Holding B.V..

    5.    Information on the Vitol Group

    The Vitol Group, through Rosco and Vitol B.V. (another subsidiary of Vitol Holding B.V.), is the largest shareholder in Arawak, holding
in aggregate 75,668,399 shares in Arawak representing approximately 41.43 per cent. of all the issued common shares in Arawak at the date of
this Announcement.  

    The Vitol Group was founded in 1966 and started its business with the trading of oil products. It is now an independent, privately owned
group of trading companies, with its core business in energy, particularly crude oil and oil products.  Other Vitol Group trading businesses
include natural gas, sugar, non-ferrous metals, coal, chemicals and power. Vitol Group is also active in shipping, oil terminals and oil
exploration and production. Vitol Group ships approximately 200 million tonnes of oil per year and has revenues in excess of US$100 billion.


    The relationship between Arawak and Vitol Group extends back to 2002, when Rosco first became a shareholder in a subsidiary of Arawak.
Since such date Arawak and Vitol Group have been party to a number of transactions, including transactions in the course of trading and
acquisitions/disposals.

    The Vitol Group has held an interest in shares in the Arawak Group since 2002, and is currently party to various ongoing commercial
arrangements with the Arawak Group, which are material to the business of the Arawak Group. These include significant off-take arrangements
in Russia and Kazakhstan (including exclusive buying arrangements for Arawak's Kazakhstan branches), crude purchase contracts in relation to
Arawak's Saigak joint venture in Kazakhstan, crude oil marketing arrangements in Russia and various administrative arrangements including a
license for Arawak to occupy the Vitol Group's London office.  

    Arawak, Rosco and Vitol B.V. are party to the Relationship Agreement which has governed their relationship with effect from admission of
Arawak to the Official List.  The principal purpose of the Relationship Agreement was to ensure that Arawak is capable of carrying on
business independently of Rosco and Vitol B.V. and that transactions and relationships with Rosco and Vitol B.V. are at arm's length and on
normal commercial terms. 

    For more information on the Vitol Group visit www.vitol.com.  Further information on the above arrangements can also be found at
www.arawakenergy.com.

    6.    Information on Arawak

    Arawak is a multi-asset oil and gas production, development and exploration group which has been active in the FSU since 1998 and has
current operations in Kazakhstan, Russia and Azerbaijan.  Arawak's publicly stated intention is to become the leading independent oil and
gas company focused on the FSU and to grow both organically and through acquisition.

    Arawak was initially incorporated in Canada in 1987 as Iskut Gold Corporation and was renamed Arawak Energy Corporation in 2003. In
November 2006 Arawak began trading its common shares on the main board of the Toronto Stock Exchange, in April 2008 Arawak was renamed
Arawak Energy Limited and in July 2008 Arawak Shares were admitted to the Official List and the main market of the London Stock Exchange.
Arawak's shares now trade on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange under the symbol "AAK".

    On 14 August 2008, Arawak announced revenues of US$95.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with US$66.6 million in the
first quarter (Q2 2007 US$30.7 million); an increase in net income in the second quarter of 2008 to US$9.3 million (Q2 2007, US$0.3 million)
after deducting re-domiciliation and listing expenses of US$8.7 million; and an increase in earnings per share (basic and diluted) to 5.3 US
cents.

    7.    Valuation of Arawak 

    The Offer will be an insider bid under applicable Canadian securities regulation as a result of Rosco being a significant shareholder of
Arawak. Accordingly, under applicable Canadian securities regulation, unless such requirement is waived, a formal valuation of the
securities that are the subject of the Offer must be prepared by an independent valuator at Rosco's expense and be published in conjunction
with the Offer. 

    In light of this requirement, and the possibility that such a valuation may not be received within 28 days of this Announcement, the
Panel has agreed that the normal period for posting of the Offer Document under Rule 30.1 of the Code shall be extended, if necessary, as
described in paragraph 15 below. 

    8.    Financing the Offer

    Rosco expects to fund the consideration payable under the Offer by being put in funds by the Vitol Group. 

    As required by the Code, Credit Suisse, financial adviser to Rosco, confirms that it is satisfied that sufficient financial resources
are available to Rosco to enable it to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable under the Offer.

    9.    Compulsory acquisition and de-listing

    If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects and Rosco receives sufficient acceptances under the Offer, it will be
Rosco's intention:

    (a)    to exercise its rights pursuant to the provisions of Articles 117 and 118 of the Companies Law to acquire compulsorily the
remaining Arawak Shares to which the Offer relates (construed in accordance with Part 18 of the Companies Law); and

    (b)    to procure that Arawak makes applications to the Toronto Stock Exchange for the de-listing of Arawak Shares from such exchange
assuming Arawak no longer meets the listing eligibility criteria for the Toronto Stock Exchange.

    The UK Listing Authority may cancel Arawak's listing on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange if it considers that there are
special circumstances that preclude normal regular dealings in them.  This may include where the percentage of Arawak Shares in public hands
falls below minimum thresholds determined by the Financial Services Authority.

    De-listing from the London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange would significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of
any Arawak Shares not assented to the Offer.  In addition, if the Arawak Shares are de-listed from the Official List of the London Stock
Exchange the Relationship Agreement would terminate, removing the protections afforded under that agreement.

    10.    Regulatory issues

    A.    Russian Federation Pre-Condition

    The posting of the Offer Document is subject to the Pre-Condition set out in Appendix I relating to Rosco receiving approvals for the
acquisition of Arawak from the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service of the Russian Federation in respect of anti-monopoly regulations.

    B.    Kazakhstan Subsoil Law

    Under Article 71 of the Subsoil Law of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Kazakhstan has the right of priority on the acquisition of shares in
entities with particular subsoil use rights.  The Arawak Group has such subsoil use rights, and it is not certain how this provision will be
interpreted in the context of an offer for a publicly listed and traded entity, such as Arawak.

    It is possible that this provision may require Rosco, on the completion of the Offer (on the assumption that the Offer is declared
unconditional in all respects), to offer any Arawak Shares that it acquires under the Offer to the Republic of Kazakhstan on the same terms
and conditions as the Offer.  

    If it is concluded that this is the correct interpretation and application of Article 71 of the Subsoil Law of Kazakhstan, Rosco will
make such an offer, which may or may not be taken up by the Republic of Kazakhstan.  Arawak Shareholders who do not accept the Offer should
be aware that if the Republic of Kazakhstan did elect to take up such an offer, it could become a significant shareholder in Arawak.

    11.    Arawak Share Option Schemes

    If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, appropriate proposals will be made in due course to participants in
the Arawak Share Option Schemes.

    12.    Management and employees

    If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, Rosco intends that the Arawak Group will continue to observe the
existing contractual and statutory employment rights, including pension rights, of all Arawak Group employees as required by applicable law.


    13.    Disclosure of interests in Arawak

    Save for the Arawak shares held by Rosco and Vitol B.V. referred to in paragraph 5 above (Information on the Vitol Group), and the
following options, all held by Mr Roland Favre, a director of Rosco S.A.:

    -    options over 125,000 common shares in Arawak with an exercise price of CAD 2.10, and expiring on 23 March 2010

    -    options over 150,000 common shares in Arawak with an exercise price of CAD 2.94, and expiring on 10 May 2011; and

    -    options over 75,000 common shares in Arawak with an exercise price of CAD 2.69, and expiring on 28 June 2012,

    as at 27 October 2008, the last practicable business day prior to this Announcement, neither Rosco nor, so far as Rosco is aware, any
person acting in concert with Rosco, had an interest in or right to subscribe for relevant securities of Arawak or had any short position in
relation to relevant securities of Arawak (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short
position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase or take
delivery of any relevant securities of Arawak. 

    14.    Overseas persons

    The availability of the Offer to Arawak Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom or Canada may be affected by the laws of
the relevant jurisdiction.  Such persons should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their
jurisdiction.

    15.    Offer Document

    It is expected that the Offer Document and the Forms of Acceptance, containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer, will be
posted as soon as practicable, and in any event (save with the consent of the Panel) within seven days, following the later of: (i)
satisfaction or waiver by Rosco of the Pre-Condition; and (ii) receipt by Rosco of the formal valuation required pursuant to Canadian
securities laws and referred to in paragraph 7 above (or a waiver of such requirement from applicable Canadian securities regulators).  The
Offer Document and Forms of Acceptance will be made available to all Arawak Shareholders at no charge to them.

    16.    General

    The Offer will be subject to the applicable requirements of the Code and Canadian securities laws.

    In accordance with Canadian securities laws the Offer will remain open for at least 35 days from the date of the Offer Document.

    In deciding whether or not to accept the Offer in respect of their Arawak Shares, Arawak Shareholders should rely on the information
contained, and follow the procedures described, in the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance.

    The Pre-Condition and Conditions to, and certain further terms of, the Offer are set out in Appendix I to this Announcement.  Appendix
II contains sources and bases of certain information contained in this Announcement. Appendix III contains definitions used in this
Announcement.

    Credit Suisse, which is authorised and regulated in the UK by the Financial Services Authority, is acting for Rosco and no one else in
connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than Rosco for providing the protections afforded to clients of Credit
Suisse nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer or any other matters referred to herein. Neither Credit Suisse nor any of its
subsidiaries, branches or affiliates owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct or indirect, whether
in contract, in tort, under statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of Credit Suisse in connection with this announcement,
any statement contained herein or otherwise.

    This Announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation
of an offer to buy or subscribe for any securities pursuant to the Offer or otherwise. The Offer will be made solely by the Offer Document
and the Form of Acceptance accompanying the Offer Document, which will contain the full terms and conditions of the Offer, including details
of how the Offer may be accepted. This Announcement has been prepared in accordance with English law, Canadian law and the Code and the
information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this Announcement had been prepared in accordance with
the laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside England and Canada.

    The laws of the relevant jurisdictions may affect the availability of the Offer to persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or
Canada. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or Canada or who are subject to laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
Kingdom or Canada, should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. Any person (including nominees, trustees and
custodians) who would, or otherwise intends to, forward this Announcement, the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance or any accompanying
document to any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom or Canada should refrain from doing so and seek appropriate professional advice
before taking any action.

    The Offer will not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into or by use of the mails or any other means or instrumentality (including,
without limitation, telephonic or electronic) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or any facility of a national, state or other securities
exchange of, Australia or Japan, and the Offer will not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility or from
within Australia or Japan. Accordingly, copies of this Announcement and formal documentation relating to the Offer are not being, and must
not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed in or into or from Australia or Japan and persons receiving this
Announcement (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send it into or from Australia or Japan. Doing so may
render invalid any related purported acceptance of the Offer.

    This announcement may contain various "forward-looking statements" relating to the Offer and/or Rosco, that are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including those pertaining to the anticipated benefits to be realised from the proposed acquisition of Arawak. Information in
this announcement relating to Arawak Group has been compiled from public sources. The statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, such as "believe", "expects", "prospect", "estimated", "should", "may" or the negative thereof, or other
variations thereof, or comparable terminology indicating Rosco's and/or Arawak's expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  Rosco
cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual results to differ materially from expected results included in the
statements. These factors include changes in regulatory environment, foreign political, economic and currency risks associated with the integration of recently acquired companies.

    Dealing Disclosure Requirements

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of Arawak, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Arawak (including by means of an option in respect
of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the Offer
becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If
two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in
"relevant securities" of Arawak, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Arawak by Rosco or Arawak, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the
relevant transaction.

    A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of
such securities in issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakoverpanel.org.uk.  

    "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in
the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

    Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel\'s website. If you are in any doubt as to whether
or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.


      APPENDIX I

    PRE-CONDITION, CONDITIONS AND FURTHER TERMS OF THE OFFER

the first closing date of the Offer (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as Rosco may, subject to the rules of the Code and Canadian
securities laws, decide) in respect of such number of Arawak Shares which, together with Arawak Shares acquired (pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise) by Rosco and/or any wholly owned subsidiary of Vitol Holding B.V., will result in Rosco and any such wholly owned subsidiaries of

deemed not to have been received until such time as all of the other Conditions have been satisfied or waived;

Rosco to be or remain satisfied, by midnight (London time) on the day which is 21 days after the date on which the Offer becomes or is

be under no obligation to waive or treat as fulfilled any of conditions (ii) to (xi) inclusive by a date earlier than the latest date

date have been fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.

    The Offer will lapse (unless otherwise agreed by the Panel) if the European Commission either initiates proceedings under Article
6(1)(c) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004, as amended, or makes a referral to a competent national authority under Article 9(1) thereof

alterations to the terms and conditions of the Offer as are necessary to comply with the provisions of that Rule.
