Index Oil and Gas Inc. Announces Adjournment of Its Annual General Meeting to January 27, 2009


HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Index Oil and Gas Inc. (OTCBB:IXOG) today announced that its Annual General Meeting held in Houston on December 9, 2008 was adjourned without achieving a quorum for the meeting and without conducting the business scheduled for the meeting.

The chairman of the meeting, Dan Murphy, announced prior to the adjournment that the meeting would be reconvened on January 27, 2009 at 10 a.m. Central Standard Time at the same venue, Houston Marriot (West Loop by the Galleria), 1750 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027.

As allowed by Nevada Revised statutes the Company will not be issuing any further notice or proxy documentation in relation to the reconvened meeting. Existing votes received for the original meeting will carry forward, or as they are revised in the interim, and all stockholders that have not yet voted are strongly encouraged to do so, to enable the business of the meeting to be conducted.

Mr. Murphy stated, "The Company has a significant number of stockholders located outside of the U.S. and we recognize that this presents certain difficulties in terms of voting stock, either by proxy or in person, but the need to adjourn and reconvene the meeting has placed additional costs on the Company. We ask all our stockholders who have not yet voted their stock to do so now in support of the company." Stock that is not held by stockholders on the company registered list of stockholders must vote through their representative broker or bank. If stockholders have not received the proxy statement and ballot, they need to contact their bank or broker to obtain the necessary documents and proxy card (voting ballot).

The proxy statement information, which includes general voting information, is available at the Company's website, www.indexoil.com, and the SEC website, at www.sec.gov.
