("Reabold" or the "Company")
Result of Requisitioned General Meeting
Reabold Resources plc, the oil & gas investing company with a diversified portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development projects, announces that, further to its announcement on 13 December 2023, all the proposed resolutions put to shareholders at the General Meeting by the Requisitioning Shareholders, including removing the entire Board of directors and replacing it with four new directors, were not passed.
Jeremy Edelman, Non-Executive Chairman of Reabold, said:
"Today's requisitioned General Meeting result represents the resounding support for the existing Board of Directors by its shareholders. The results represent an even greater margin of votes against the Requisitioning Shareholders' resolutions than was the case at the last requisitioned general meeting in November 2022. The Requisitioning Shareholders, who own approximately 7.91% of the Company's currently issued share capital, received average support for the proposed resolutions from shareholders representing approximately a further 5.77% of the Company's issued share capital. I would like to thank our shareholders for their support of the Board.
"This process has, once again, been a serious and costly distraction for Reabold, significantly delaying the management team's ability to execute the Company's strategy. The Board believes the Company is well positioned with its portfolio of strategic gas assets and strong cash position. The Company's efforts can now be entirely directed towards unlocking this value for all shareholders."

Notes to Editors
Reabold Resources plc has a diversified portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development oil & gas projects. Reabold's strategy is to invest in low-risk, near-term projects which it considers to have significant valuation uplift potential, with a clear monetisation plan, where receipt of such proceeds will be returned to shareholders and re-invested into further growth projects. This strategy is illustrated by the recent sale of the undeveloped Victory gas field to Shell, the proceeds of which are being returned to shareholders and re-invested.
