NOTES:

(a)  The "For" proxy vote includes those giving the Chair discretion.

(b)  A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proxy votes "For" or "Against" the resolution.

(c)  In accordance with Listing Rule 9.2.2ER, these resolutions were also passed on a poll of Independent Shareholders (as defined in the Notice of Meeting).

(d)  As required under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, this resolution had to be passed by the Independent Shareholders, therefore none of the members of the Concert Party (as defined in the Notice of Meeting) voted on it.

(e)  Special resolution.

The total number of shares in issue on 9 May 2022, the deadline for casting votes by proxy in advance of the AGM, was 925,523,639 shares. 71.2 per cent of voting capital, including votes withheld, was instructed in respect of the resolutions put to the AGM.

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 Financial Conduct 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
