20 January 2010 Dear Sir / Madam Aurora Oil & Gas Limited Performance Rights Plan The Directors of Aurora Oil & Gas Limited advise that shareholders will today be mailed a Notice of Meeting convening a shareholders meeting on Friday 19 February 2010 to consider and vote on resolutions regarding the establishment of a new Performance Rights Plan and specifically the grant of Performance Rights to executive directors under that Plan. The Remuneration Committee of the Board, consisting of independent non-executive directors, has been responsible for approving the design and recommended offers to be made to key executives under the Performance Rights Plan and is supported as a means of improving Company performance and increasing shareholder value by: Attracting quality key executives. Motivating and retaining key executives. Ensuring that some components of key executives remuneration remain directly aligned with the fortunes of the Company over the medium to longer term. The Performance Rights Plan will serve to align the interests of executives with shareholders by providing direct participation in the benefits of future Company performance. The structure of the Plan as a whole, including the level of entitlement, performance measures and time periods before entitlement to rewards, has been designed to meet the particular needs of the Company in terms of driving improved company performance. The Plan has been designed to reward superior performance based on materially improved Company performance in terms of growth in the value of Aurora and resulting increases in shareholder value. The selection of suitable performance benchmarks was considered critical to securing this objective and have all been set at significant higher levels than those prevailing at the time of structuring the Plan. A copy of the Notice of Meeting and accompanying documentation is attached hereto. Yours sincerely AURORA OIL & GAS LIMITED Jonathan Stewart CHAIRMAN
