Details about Doyon s financial performance will be in the 2015 annual report, to be mailed to shareholders in January. We expect to have a very strong year in 2016, but because of the slump in oil prices, Doyon s financial performance may not be as strong as As always, Doyon will manage our businesses to take advantage of the opportunities that are available and to minimize impacts on our workforce. We still have a lot to look forward to in 2016, including two major projects in the Nenana basin. In February, Rig 142, the newest rig in the Doyon Drilling fleet, will be commissioned and go into service on the North Slope under a five-year contract with ConocoPhillips.

8 Doyon, Limited Shareholder Spotlight: David Kokrine Invited to Represent Alaska in the DownUnder Games Doyon, Limited shareholder David Kokrine, 16, has been invited to represent Alaska at the 16th annual track and field meet at the DownUnder games in Australia in June Kokrine is a Koyukon Athabascan with family from Tanana and Huslia, Alaska. His parents are Curt Kokrine, Sr. and Beverly Kokrine. His grandparents are Billy and Flora Demoski from Tanana, Alaska and the late Franklin Simon and Lillian Simon from Huslia, Alaska. He carries the name David after Flora s brother of Crossjacket, Alaska, who was a song composer and singer. Kokrine has a passion for racing and doesn t limit himself to just foot races. He has raced the Junior North American dog race in the last several years with dogs from his uncle Marvin Kokrine. Earlier this spring Kokrine placed second in the Junior North American Races. I love it. It was always fun. It kind of soothes the soul, Kokrine said. My grandfathers did that a lot. They always dog mushed and did hard work. It takes hard work to run the dogs. Thanks to my Uncle Marvin. Kokrine has been on the Effie Kokrine Charter School cross country running team for the past two years. When Kokrine was a freshman, the school had enough runners to place first in the regional race. This fall, however, there were only three runners on the team but this small group of dedicated runners was not discouraged by their limited team size. It changed. We had a full team. Now we have three runners, said Kokrine, who ran in the Alaska state meet this fall. Running is fun. Competing is fun actually. I didn t want my school to miss. I was representing Effie. I have a pair of snowshoes to train in all winter. Through his hard work and dedication to the sport, Kokrine received an invitation to represent Alaska on the Pacific Conference Cross Country Team at the 16th annual track David Kokrine will represent Alaska in the DownUnder Games in Australia in summer and field meet at the DownUnder games in Australia next summer. During the event, 300 high school athletes from across the world will compete at the event, each an ambassador for their state. This shows us that perseverance can give us opportunities that we never imagined, said Kokrine s mom, Beverly. Kokrine said he is excited to go to Australia and he is hoping the weather will be cool, since it will be Australia s winter. His family is helping him prepare for the trip of a lifetime in June For information on ways to support Kokrine, please Beverly Kokrine at bevkokrine@gmail.com.
