Endeavour Obtains Interim Stock and Claims Order for Trading Requirements 
 
HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2014 -- Endeavour International Corporation (OTC: ENDRQ) (LSE: 
ENDV) announced today that on October 10, 2014, it and certain of its 
subsidiaries, including Endeavour Operating Corporation (collectively, the 
"Debtors"), filed a motion (the "Motion") with the United States Bankruptcy 
Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking an order 
(i) restricting certain transfers of interest in Endeavour common stock and 
preferred stock and, depending on the Debtors' proposed chapter 11 plan when 
filed, certain transfers of claims against the Debtors, and (ii) imposing 
certain notification requirements with respect to substantial owners of 
Endeavour stock (by class) and substantial owners of claims against the Debtors 
(namely, Endeavour's 12% First Priority Notes, its 12% Second Priority Notes, 
and any unsecured claims against the Debtors). The order is intended to prevent 
certain transfers of stock of Endeavour and certain transfers of claims against 
the Debtors that could impair the ability of one or more of the Debtors' 
estates to use, to the extent otherwise available, their net operating loss 
carryovers and certain other tax attributes during bankruptcy and on a 
reorganized basis. 
 
On October 15, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order on an interim basis 
granting the Motion. All procedures reflected in the interim order currently 
apply and must be complied with. Accordingly, any acquisition, disposition, or 
other transfer of equity or claims on or after October 10, 2014, in violation 
of the restrictions set forth in the interim order shall be null and void ab 
initio or otherwise subject to sanctions as an act in violation of the 
automatic stay under sections 105(a) and 362 of the United States Bankruptcy 
Code. A final hearing on the Motion and requested relief is scheduled for 
November 10, 2014, at 10 a.m. before The Honorable Kevin J. Carey at the 
Bankruptcy Court, 824 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. 
 
The requested relief and interim order apply to "Substantial Equityholders," 
being persons who are, or as a result of a transaction would become, the 
beneficial owner of approximately 4.75% or more of the outstanding shares of 
any class of common or preferred stock of Endeavour. It also applies to holders 
of a substantial amount of claims, being persons who are, or as a result of a 
transaction become, the beneficial owner of Endeavour's 12% First Priority 
Notes, 12% Second Priority Notes, and/or unsecured claims against the Debtors 
in excess of an amount of such claims which, taking into account any other 
interests for which the holder may receive stock in the reorganized Debtors, 
could result in such holder holding the "Applicable Percentage," generally 4.5% 
or more, of the stock of the reorganized Debtors, by vote or value. The precise 
amount of claims will be disclosed in connection with the Debtors' filing of 
their proposed chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement in the event the 
Debtors reasonably anticipate taking advantage of certain tax provisions 
relating to a debtor's ability to utilize loss carryovers and certain other tax 
attributes on a reorganized basis. A copy of the notice of the interim order, 
which includes complete definitions, the provisions potentially applicable to 
holders of a substantial amount of claims, and the applicable notification 
requirements and restrictions, is available on the website of the Debtors' 
claims agent: www.kccllc.net/endeavour.
