(1)	The securities underlying the derivative securities reported herein are issuable pursuant to the corporate reorganization (the "Corporate Reorganization") that will be completed simultaneously with, or prior to, the closing (the "Closing") of the initial public offering of common shares, par value $0.01 (the "Common Shares") of Kosmos Energy Ltd. (the "Issuer") in exchange for the outstanding units of Kosmos Energy Holdings ("KEH"), which units are exchangeable pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of KEH upon the Closing based on the pre-offering equity value of such units.
(2)	Pursuant to the Corporate Reorganization, Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("WPPE VIII," and together with two affiliated partnerships, "WP VIII"), and Warburg Pincus International Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("WPIP LP,") and together with two affiliated partnerships, "WPIP"), have the right to acquire as of the date of this filing 154,379,137 Common Shares of the Issuer in connection with the Closing, which is expected to occur on May 16, 2011.
