Crystal Amber withdraws requisition for general meeting of Hurricane Energy plc ("Hurricane")

On 23 December 2022, Crystal Amber Fund, the activist investment fund, announced that it had sent to the board of Hurricane a requisition notice requiring Hurricane to convene a general meeting at which resolutions would be proposed to remove executives Antony Maris and Richard Chaffe, Non-Executive Chairman, Philip Wolfe and, conditional on the appointment of Tony Buckingham and Franco Caselli, Crystal Amber nominees, David Craik, John Wright and Juan Morera, in order for Hurricane to maintain its independence ("the Requisition Notice").

Crystal Amber notes the Hurricane announcement of 11 January 2023 which provided a trading, operational, financial and formal sale process update. As a result, Crystal Amber believes that it should pause the requisition for the general meeting and has written to Hurricane withdrawing the Requisition Notice and undertaking not to resubmit a further requisition notice before 6 February 2023.
