On February 11, 2014, PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it had been informed by Aral Petroleum Capital Limited Partnership (“Aral”) that in December 2013 the Central Development Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved the plan proposed by Aral for the development of its 2,199 acre contract area located in the East Zhagabulak Block oilfield, thereby officially moving the oilfield into the development stage under Aral’s existing production license issued by the Republic of Kazakhstan.   This acreage is part of the 380,000 acres covered by an exploration license issued by the Republic of Kazakhstan that is 100% held by Aral.

The Company is currently under contract to acquire an indirect 34% interest in Aral. The Company’s acquisition of this interest is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the requisite approvals from the Republic of Kazakhstan.
