July 2010 Update for Investors from ERHC Energy CEO Peter Ntephe

To ERHC Shareholders:   I am pleased to update the ERHC Energy family on the company’s recent progress.   Listing on the AIM Market   ERHC’s Board of Directors has approved the procedure for application to list ERHC on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.  The Company is proceeding to apply for the listing of ERHC Energy Inc. on AIM rather than listing a subsidiary and offering existing shareholders the option to exchange their shares for that subsidiary’s shares.
