Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors of Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd. believes that a clearly defined system of corporate governance is essential to the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The system of corporate governance should reflect the Corporation's particular circumstance, having always as its ultimate objective, the best long-term interests of the Corporation and the enhancement of value for all Shareholders.

Based on its review of corporate governance requirements, the Corporation believes that it complies with all corporate governance rules now applicable to it and intends to comply with any new or additional corporate governance standards that will be applicable to the Corporation in the future.

Independence of Board of Directors
The TSX Guidelines contain provisions respecting the independence of the boards of directors of companies. Under the TSX Guidelines, an "unrelated" director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the directors' ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, other than interests that arise as a result of shareholdings. The TSX Guidelines also make a distinction between inside directors (directors who are also members of management) and outside directors.

Three of the five Corporation's directors would be considered unrelated under the TSX Guidelines.
