Share Consolidation

Resolution 13 authorises the Company to consolidate all the Ordinary Shares on a one for ten basis (the Consolidation). The Consolidation was proposed as the directors consider it in the best interest of the shareholders and the Company's development to have a more manageable number of issued ordinary shares. In addition, the Directors believe the Consolidation will:

• increase the Company share price proportionately and in doing so help improve the market liquidity of, and trading activity in, the Company's shares;

• provide the basis for a narrowing in the market bid and ask share price spread in the Company's shares; and

• overall, further enhance the perception of the Company and its prospects and help improve the marketability of the Company's shares to a wider group of potential investors.

The timetable of the Consolidation is as follows:

• Upon implementation of the Consolidation, shareholders on the register of members of the Company on 6:00 p.m. (BST) on 16 May (the Consolidation Record Date), will exchange every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares that they hold for one Consolidated Ordinary Share.

• It is expected that the Consolidated Ordinary Shares arising as a result of the Consolidation from Existing Ordinary Shares held in uncertificated form will be credited to CREST accounts at 8:00 a.m. (BST) on 17 May 2022.

All defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings set out in the Company's Notice of AGM dated 19 April 2022, which will be available on the Company's website: https://serinusenergy.com/shareholder-information/   .
