United Kingdom (CREST Voting Instruction)

DI Holders in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message ( CREST Voting Instruction ) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST ).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s agent (3RA50) no later than 4:00 pm (GMT) on 10 January 2024. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. DI Holders in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the DI Holder concerned to take (or, if the DI Holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 & 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHORTFALL OFFER PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

1.1 General

  • 1.1.1 Rights Issue Shortfall Offer Placement

In August 2023, 88E completed a non-renounceable rights issue ( Rights Issue ) of one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the Company ( New Share ) for every ten (10) existing shares held, at an issue price of A$0.006/£0.0031 per Share. The Rights Issue closed 22 August 2023. On 29 August 2023, following the processing of valid applications, the Company issued 553,070,348 New Shares to eligible shareholders under the Rights Issue, being 342,496,374 New Shares for entitlements taken up by eligible shareholders and 210,573,974 New Shares for additional subscriptions (above entitlement) received from eligible shareholders.

As a result of the strong inbound demand received from other investors during the Rights Issue and subsequent shortfall offer process, the Company received firm commitments to place in full all of the New Shares not taken up under the Rights Issue via the shortfall offer representing 1,457,716,470 New Shares ( Shortfall Offer Placement ), of which 675,000,000 ordinary shares were issued under the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1) and 782,716,470 ordinary shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 2).

Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer Placement included the issue of A$4 million worth of Capital Development Shares issued to Lonestar I, LLC ( Lonestar ) (referred to in Section 1.1.2 below), saving the Company at least an equivalent amount in cash costs on development wells for Project Longhorn production growth.

Additionally, a total of 8,333,333 New Shares (A$50,000 worth of Shares at a deemed issue price equal to the offer price of A$0.006 per share under the Rights Issue and the Shortfall Offer Placement) were issued to Spark Plus Pte Ltd ( Spark Marketing ) for investor relations services in relation to a six month roadshow package. Under an investor relations agreement with Spark Marketing, the Company agreed to issue $50,000 worth of Shares to Spark Marketing as part of the Rights Issue in consideration for services to be provided by Spark Marketing between July and December, including (as reasonably requested by the Company) roadshows, obtaining and collecting feedback from investors whom participate, media coverage, Bloomberg integration, assessing financing options, group webinars and research coverage.

Euroz Hartleys Limited acted as lead manager and bookrunner to the Shortfall Offer Placement. Cenkos Securities Plc acted as nominated adviser and broker to the Shortfall Offer Placement in the United Kingdom. Inyati Capital Pty Ltd acted

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

10

as co-manager to the Shortfall Offer Placement. Commission for the Shortfall Offer Placement was 6% (plus GST) of total funds raised across Euroz Hartleys Limited, Inyati Capital Pty Ltd and Cenkos Securities Plc. This fee did not apply to the Capital Development Shares.

1.1.2 Project Longhorn - Capital Development Shares

The Company agreed to part fund its share of the first two new wells at the recently acquired Bighorn Phase 2 acreage anticipated to cost US$3.0 million (net) in development capital, through the issuance of A$4.0 million worth of 88 Energy shares as part of the Shortfall Offer Placement (666,666,667 million shares at a deemed issue price equal to the offer price of A$0.006 per share under the Rights Issue and the Shortfall Offer Placement) to Lonestar( Capital Development Shares ).

The Capital Development Shares are held in escrow and subject to customary orderly selldown restrictions and will only be released from escrow following approval by 88 Energy. Lonestar has the option to dispose of Capital Development Shares, subject to customary orderly selldown restrictions under the agreement. Any proceeds from the disposal of the Capital Development Shares received by Lonestar are to be held on trust for 88 Energy until the associated invoices are received and approved by 88 Energy for the capital development program. A reconciliation process and payment of any outstanding amounts due (in cash) will occur prior to year-end 2023.

1.1.3 Issue of Shortfall Offer Placement Shares

As a result of the arrangements outlined in sections 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 above, 88 Energy issued a total of 1,457,716,474 new ordinary Shares, as follows:

  • (a) 782,716,470 Shares issued to participants of the Shortfall Offer Placement on 8 September 2023;

  • (b) 8,333,333 Shares issued to Spark Marketing for investor relations services on 8 September 2023; and

  • (c) 666,666,667 Capital Development Shares issued to Lonestar on 14 September 2023,

(together, the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares ).

1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

11

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 11 May 2023.

The issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares.

1.3

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares.

1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Shortfall Offer Placement Shares were issued as follows:

  • (i) 782,716,470 Shares issued to domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Euroz Hartleys Limited, Inyati Capital Pty Ltd and Cenkos Securities Plc

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Capital Development Shares was to part fund its share of the first two new wells at the recently acquired Bighorn Phase 2 acreage anticipated to cost US$3.0 million (net) in development capital. Further details are set out in Section 1.1.2 above;

2.1.2 Issue of Funding Shares

As a result of the arrangements outlined in sections 2.1.1 above 88 Energy issued 322,147,513 Shares to MELN on 11 December 2023 (the 2[nd] instalment under Stage 1 of the Farm-In Agreement) ( T1 Funding Shares ). The issue of the T1 Funding Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

The Company intends to issue a further US$1.25 million worth of Shares to MELN (the 3[rd] instalment under Stage 1 of the Farm-In Agreement) ( T2 Funding Shares ) subject to the receipt of Namibian government approval for the transfer of up to a 45% working interest in the Licence and other regulatory approvals, which are expected to be received by Q1 2024. The agreement to issue the T2 Funding Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the agreement.

The T1 Funding Shares and the T2 Funding Shares are together referred to as the

Funding Shares .

The number of T2 Funding Shares proposed to be issued to MELN is not presently ascertainable and will be calculated based on US$1,250,000 divided by the exchange rate for the A$ quoted on the website of the Reserve Bank of Australia on the relevant payment dates:US$1, divided by the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for Shares on the ASX on the last 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of issue of the T2 Funding Shares ( Deemed Issue Price ). The maximum value of the T2 Funding Shares is US$1,250,000.

Set out below is a worked example of the number of T2 Funding Shares that may be issued under Resolution 3 based on assumed Deemed Issue Prices of $0.0051, $0.0077, $0.0026 and $0.0045 per Share, being the VWAP for Shares on the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before 1 December 2023, the VWAPs which are 50% higher and 50% lower than that price, and the Placement Issue Price.

Notes :

  1. Assumes an exchange rate of USD/AUD = 0.66 (based on the exchange rate quoted on the Reserve Bank of Australia website on 1 December 2023). Rounded to the whole number.

  2. There are currently 24,640,802,561 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and this table assumes no Options are exercised, no convertible securities converted or additional Shares issued, other than the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to Resolution 3 (based on the assumed Deemed Issue Prices set out in the table).

  3. The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 11 May 2023.

The issue of the T1 Funding Shares and the agreement to issue the T2 Funding Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the agreement to issue the Funding Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Funding Shares and the agreement to issue the T2 Funding Shares pursuant to the Farm-In Agreement.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Funding Shares. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the agreement to issue the T2 Funding Shares.

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 to 4 are passed, the Funding Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A , effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the agreement to issue the Funding Shares.

If Resolutions 3 to 4 are not passed, the Funding Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the following the date of the agreement to issue the Funding Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Funding Shares were/will be issued to MELN (or its nominee);

  • (b) 322,147,513 T1 Funding Shares were issued to MELN on 11 December 2023 at a deemed issue price of $0.0061 per Share;

  • (c) the maximum number of T2 Funding Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the Deemed Issue Price, equals US$1,250,000.

  • (d) The Funding Shares issued are/will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the T2 Funding Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the T2 Funding Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the Deemed Issue Price of the T2 Funding Shares will be calculated based on the formula set out in Section 2.1.2. The Funding Shares are/will be issued as part consideration for the Stage 1 farm-in interest pursuant to the Farm-In Agreement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Funding Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Funding Shares was to fund 88 Energy’s earn-in obligations in lieu of cash under Stage 1 of the Farm-In Agreement; and

  • (h) the Funding Shares were issued to MELN under the Farm-In Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Farm-In Agreement is set out in Section 2.1.1 above.

3. RESOLUTION 5 TO 8 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SECURITIES ISSUED UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 & 7.1A

3.1 General

3.1.1 Background to the Placement

On 29 November 2023, the Company announced that it had completed a bookbuild to domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors ( Investors ) to raise A$9.9 million (approx. £5.16 million) (before costs) ( Placement ). The Placement involved the issue of 2,200,000,005 new Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of A$0.0045 (£0.0023) per Share ( Issue Price ). The Placement comprised of an accelerated bookbuild in the United Kingdom ( UK Placement ) and a placement in Australia ( Australian Placement ).

The Placement Shares were issued on 8 December 2023, of which 916,622,618 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 5) and 1,283,377,387 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 11 May 2023 (the subject of Resolution 6).

In addition, the Company issued 1 free attaching option for every 3 Shares subscribed for in the Placement to participants in the Australian Placement ( Placement Options ). The Placement Options are listed on the ASX and are exercisable at A$0.0075 per share on or before 15 December 2026. Investors participating in the UK Placement were issued 1 warrant for every 3 Shares subscribed for ( Placement Warrants ). The Placement Options and Placement Warrants were issued on 8 December 2023, of which 488,888,890 Placement Options and 244,444,442 Placement Warrants were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolutions 7 and 8).

The issue of the Placement Shares, Placement Options and Placement Warrants did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

The Placement Shares, Placement Options and Placement Warrants are herein referred to as the Placement Securities .

The purpose of the Placement was to raise funds to apply towards:

  • (a) upcoming flow testing operations at the Project Phoenix Hickory-1 well (North Slope, Alaska; 88E existing ~75% net working interest);

  • (b) initial farm-in exploration activities at the Company’s recently acquired Owambo Basin acreage in Namibia; and

  • (c) contingencies and additional working capital.

(together, the Placement Funding Purposes ).

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

3.1.2 Brokers

The Company engaged Euroz Hartleys Limited (ACN 104 195 057)(AFSL 230052) ( Euroz ) as the sole lead manager and bookrunner to the Australian Placement. The Company also engaged Inyati Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 642 351 193) (AFSL 519872) ( Inyati ) to act as co-manager to the Australian Placement. Cavendish Capital Markets Ltd ( Cavendish ) was appointed as the Company’s nominated adviser and sole broker to the UK Placement.

The Company engaged Cavendish pursuant to a placing agreement and each of Euroz and Inyati pursuant to separate engagement agreements (together, the Mandates ). Euroz, Inyati and Cavendish are herein referred together as the Brokers.

Under the Mandates, the Company agreed to pay a fee of 6% (plus GST and VAT (as applicable)) of the total funds raised under the Placement by Euroz, Inyati and Cavendish.

Additionally, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company agreed to issue each Broker 25,000,000 Options or Warrants on the same terms as the New Options and Warrants offered under the Placement, contingent on the Broker raising $3,000,000 or more under the Placement. Each broker satisfied this condition. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 9 and 10 to issue a total of 50,000,000 New Options to Euroz and Inyati (or their nominees) ( Broker Options ) and 25,000,000 Warrants to Cavendish (or its nominee) ( Broker Warrants ).

The Mandates otherwise contain terms and conditions considered standard for agreements of their kind.

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 11 May 2023.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

xecutive Chairman & CEO Mr Shannon Green

20

3.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

Resolutions 5 to 8 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 to 8 are passed, the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

If Resolutions 5 to 8 are not passed, the Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 8:

Further details of the agreements entered into with the Brokers, including the cash fees agreed to be paid in respect of the Placement are set out in Section 3.1.2 above. The agreements otherwise contain terms and conditions considered customary for agreements of this nature.

The proposed issue of the Broker Securities falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

  1. a Warrant does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon a winding up of the Company but in the event of a winding up of the Company, the Company shall give notice to each Warrant holder who shall be entitled to exercise their Warrants to the extent that such Warrants have not lapsed or been exercised prior to the record date of such offer in order that they may then participate (as a shareholder) in the surplus profits or assets of the Company;

  2. if at any time an offer or invitation is made by the Company to the holders of the Ordinary Shares for the purchase by the Company of any of its Ordinary Shares, the Company shall simultaneously give notice thereof to each Warrant holder who shall be entitled, at any time whilst such offer or invitation is open for acceptance, to exercise its rights to subscribe for Shares under the Warrants so as to take effect, in so far as is reasonably practicable, as if it had exercised its rights immediately prior to the record date of such offer or invitation;

  3. in the event of a proposed takeover of the Company, the Company shall give notice to each Warrant holder who shall be entitled to exercise their Warrants to the extent that such Warrants have not lapsed or been exercised prior to the record date of such offer, the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that a similar offer is made to Warrant holders as if all outstanding Warrants had been exercised immediately before the record date for that offer, and to the extent that any Warrants have not been exercised within one month after such offer shall have become or been declared unconditional in all respects they shall lapse;

  4. save in the case of a modification of a purely formal, minor or technical nature, the terms and conditions of the Warrants may only be modified with the prior sanction of a special resolution of Warrant holders, being a resolution passed at a meeting of the Warrant holders duly convened and held and carried by a majority consisting of not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast upon a show of hands or, if a poll is duly demanded, by a majority consisting of not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast on a poll; and
