Board Changes and Arrangements

CHANGES TO THE BOARD

Pryme Energy Limited advises that Mr. Stephen Mitchell has been appointed Executive Chairman of the Board on a temporary basis in order to oversee the management, operations and strategic review of the Company. This is considered necessary since the resignation of the prior Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Pryme Energy also advises that Mr. Daniel Lanskey has resigned from the Board of Directors effective February 3, 2016. Attached is a copy of Mr. Lanskey’s Appendix 3Z-Final Director’s Interest Notice.

AMENDMENT TO BOARD FEES

In 2015, the Company paid Directors a total of approximately $1,600,000 ($920,000 pre-redundancies). This did not include payments for accounting and company secretarial services that are estimated to have cost a further $350,000.

Pryme Energy Limited advises that the fees to be paid to the Directors have been amended as follows:

Board: Executive Chair: $72,000 p.a. (inclusive of Superannuation) Non-Executive Director: $30,000 p.a. (inclusive of Superannuation) - no change Board Committees: Chair: $12,000 p.a. (inclusive of Superannuation) Member: $6,000 p.a. (inclusive of Superannuation)

Given the resignation of the former Chairman and the previous Board’s decision to make the CEO, the CFO and the COO redundant, until these roles can be filled, all Directors will be required to assume more responsibility and devote significantly more time than would be expected of Non-Executive Directors. For this additional time and responsibility, and until full time executives are appointed, the Chairman will be paid an additional $10,000/month and Non-Executive Directors may be paid an additional $500/day as required.

Pryme has also appointed Mr. John Zetzman to act as COO and Country Manager in the US at a cost of US$5,000/month.

It is expected that these arrangements, in conjunction with other cost saving arrangements with respect to personnel, will result in a very substantial reduction in the costs of managing the Company when compared to previous years.

At this time no incentives have been offered to Directors and the Board intends to consult widely with shareholders before considering performance based remuneration.
