The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which is available on the Company's website at www.harbourenergy.com  

In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed by the Company's shareholders, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://www.fca.org.uk/markets/primary-markets/regulatory-disclosures/national-storage-mechanism  

Share Consolidation

Following the approval of Resolution 19 and, as explained in the Notice of AGM, the Company's existing ordinary shares of 0.0001 pence each (the 'Existing Ordinary Shares') will now be consolidated into new ordinary shares of 0.002 pence each (the 'New Ordinary Shares') such that shareholders on the Company's register of members at 6:00pm on 24 June 2021 will hold 1 New Ordinary Share of 0.002 pence each for every 20 Existing Ordinary Shares of 0.0001 pence each.

Requests have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange and for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities.

It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares arising from the share consolidation will be admitted to listing and trading from 8:00am on 25 June 2021 with ISIN number GB00BMBVGQ36.

Immediately following admission, the Company will have 925,532,606 ordinary shares of 0.002 pence each in issue; therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 925,532,606. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they may determine whether or not they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Existing equity warrants

The Company confirms that the aforementioned share consolidation will result in an adjustment to the exercise price under the terms of the existing equity warrants issued by the Company in 2017.  The exercise price will be adjusted from £0.4017 to £8.0340 with effect from 25 June 2021. In addition, each outstanding equity warrant will be exercisable over one-twentieth of a New Ordinary Share from the 25 June 2021.
