Directorate Change

Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company, announces the following board changes.

The Company has received a request from Crystal Amber Fund Limited for the appointment of Juan Morera to the Board as Non-Executive Director. Due diligence is ongoing, and it is anticipated that Mr Morera will join the Board on completion of that work.

In connection with the appointment of Mr Morera, John Wright has agreed to step down from the role of Interim Chairman but will remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director. Philip Wolfe, currently the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, will assume the role of Independent Non-Executive Chairman, with both changes taking place with immediate effect.

The structure and composition of the Board will continue to be reviewed, and it is expected that additional Independent Non-Executive Directors will be appointed, in due course.
