Notes:

 

1. In view of the current COVID-19 pandemic, Seplat Energy obtained approval from the Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission to hold its 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) by proxy ONLY, which is in accordance with the new Guidelines on Holding of AGM of Public Companies taking advantage of Section 254 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 using proxies. For the appointment to be valid for the purposes of the Meeting, the Company made arrangements at its cost for the stamping of the duly completed proxy forms, which must be deposited at the office of the Registrar.

 

2. In accordance with the Company's articles of association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM.

 

3. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation of the proportion of "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution.

 

4. The percentage of votes "For" and "Against" any resolution is expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.

 

5. In accordance with Section 401 of CAMA, 2020, the retiring Auditor shall be re-appointed without passing a resolution.

 

6. In accordance with Section 257 of CAMA 2020, full details on the compensation of managers of the Company, set out on page 124 of the 2021 Annual Report was disclosed to the members at the Annual General Meeting.

 

7. In accordance with Section 404 (3) to (6) of the Nigerian Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, the election of the statutory Audit Committee shareholder representative members is conducted by a show of hands at the AGM rather than by poll and proxy.

 

8. The Issued Share Capital ("ISC") at the time of the Annual General Meeting was 588,444,561 shares denominated in Naira of 50 kobo per share. The proportion of "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution is the total of votes "For" and "Against" in respect of that resolution expressed as a percentage of the ISC.

 

9. The Company notes that although Resolutions 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(ii), concerning re-election of Directors, were passed with the necessary majorities (79.51% and 79.18% respectively), Resolution 5(b)(i) received 20.49% of votes against and Resolution 5(b)(ii) received 20.82% of votes against. Seplat Energy is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and as contemplated by Section 1, Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018, the Company will engage with the minority of shareholders who voted against these resolutions, to fully understand their views and the reasons for their votes. Additionally, the Company will, within six months of the AGM date (18 May 2022), provide an update on views received from shareholders and any actions that the Company has deemed necessary to allay any concerns expressed by those shareholders. Shareholders can contact the Company using the following email addresses: companysecretariat@seplatenergy.com or IR@seplatenergy.com or by contacting one of the officers listed below.

 

10. In accordance with LR 9.6.2, copies of the relevant ordinary and special resolutions passed at the meeting have been submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The full text of the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which is available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism and also on the Company's website at http://www.seplatenergy.com.
