Posting of Circular and Notice of General Meeting

Further to the announcement on 27 February 2024 (the "Placing Announcement") regarding the Conditional Fundraising to raise £1,000,000 the Company today announces that it has published a shareholder circular (the "Circular") and notice of general meeting (the "General Meeting") for the purpose of proposing a vote in relation to certain resolutions, such resolutions to include those in connection with the Conditional Fundraising and the proposed sub-division of the Company's existing ordinary shares of £0.01 each into new ordinary shares of £0.00001 (the "Resolutions"). The detailed reasons for and background to the Resolutions are set out in the Circular, which was posted to Shareholders yesterday and will be uploaded on the Company's website today https://www.uogplc.com/.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meaning given in the Placing Announcement unless the context requires otherwise or as otherwise defined herein.

The General Meeting of United Oil & Gas PLC is to be held at the offices of Armstrong Teasdale, 38-43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3PE on 15 March 2024 at 11.00 a.m.

The Form of Proxy for use in connection with the General Meeting should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions thereon so as to be received by the Company's registrars, Share Registrars Limited, 3 The Millennium Centre, Crosby Way, Farnham, Surrey GU9 7XX  by no later than 11.00 a.m. on 13 March 2024.

Completion and return of a Form of Proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the General Meeting should they so wish.

Recommendation

The Directors consider the passing of the Resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors wish to raise additional working capital by completing the Conditional Placing to progress the Jamaica work programme and have the funds to continue the farmout process and associated administration costs. Failure to secure the funds could hamper the Company's business and impact on its exploration and development programme or meet its work commitments under existing licences. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that all Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do, or procure to be done, in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings, in aggregate, 21,598,219 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 3.29 per cent. of the existing issued Ordinary Share capital.
