Dear Shareholder

Have you received your dividends?

Harbour Energy plc pays dividends directly into shareholder bank accounts. If you have not yet provided our registrar, Equiniti, with your bank or building society account details, your final dividend payment for the year ended 31 December 2022 will be retained on your behalf, until it can be paid to you electronically.

Can I reinvest my dividends instead? Instead of receiving dividend payments you may wish to build up your shareholding in Harbour Energy plc by reinvesting future dividends to purchase further Harbour Energy plc shares. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan is a convenient, easy and cost effective way to do this. Please visit shareview.co.uk/info/drip for more information and a DRIP application form. Terms, conditions and fees apply.

Please note: To have any retained dividends paid to you as cash you will still need to provide your bank or building society details to Equiniti, even if you wish to join the DRIP for future dividend payments.

What if I do nothing? If you take no action you will not receive any Harbour Energy plc dividend payments until we receive your bank or building society account details.

You can provide your details:
