Till Capital 2016 Annual Financial Statement Filing Delayed

HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 29, 2017 -- Till Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ:TIL) (TSX.V:TIL) (the “Company” or “Till”), a Bermuda domiciled company, announces that it will be late in filing its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and certain related filings.

On March 31, 2017, Till is required to file:

1. audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 as required by Part 4 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations;
    
2. management's discussion and analysis relating to the audited annual financial statements, as required by Part 5 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations;
    
3. CEO and CFO certificates relating to the audited annual financial statements, as required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings; and
    
4. U.S. GAAP restated quarterly financial statements for the three, six and nine month periods ended March 31, June 31 and September 30, 2016.

(collectively, the “required filings”).

Till is in the process of converting from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, and its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 will be its first financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The process of effecting the change to U.S. GAAP has proven more time-consuming than Till and its auditors had anticipated, and the required filings will not be made by the March 31, 2017 filing deadline.  Till currently anticipates the required filings will be made on or about April 14, 2017.
