Update on Sale to Maha Energy Inc.

Further to its news release of January 18, 2016, Petro Vista has entered into an amendment to its binding sale and purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Maha Energy Inc. ("Maha") for the sale (the "Transaction") of its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary Petro Vista Energy Petroleo do Brasil Ltda. ("PVEB"). PVEB holds a 37.5% undivided working interest in the exploration and production contract covering the Tartaruga offshore hydrocarbon development block, located in the Sergipe Alagoas Basin in Brazil. The amendment extends the timing for final payment of the purchase price to a date that is on or before December 31, 2016. The extension was required as a result of delays in making application to the ANP for its approval of the Transaction.

Petro Vista and Maha have also entered into an amendment to its Loan Agreement with Maha. Pursuant to the amended Loan Agreement, Maha has agreed to loan to Petro Vista additional funds to cover an outstanding balance of Joint Interest Billing obligations of PVEB to December 31, 2015 of US$65,500 (the "Additional Loan"). Save and except for the Additional Loan, the loan proceeds will only be repayable in the event the Transaction does not complete. In the event the Transaction closes, the proceeds of the Additional Loan will be deducted from the second tranche payement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Joint Interest Billing obligations of PVEB from January 1, 2016 until closing of the Transaction, under an agreed upon work program and budget, will be paid by Maha.

ON BEHALF OF PETRO VISTA ENERGY CORP.
