Safety and Security Notice

The health and wellbeing of our Board, shareholders, employees and the wider community is of the utmost importance to the Company. This year, we have decided to put additional security arrangements in place to ensure the safety and comfort for all attendees and employees, and I thank you in advance for adhering to these arrangements. The safety and security arrangements can be found on page 8.

We do not permit behaviour that may interfere with anyone's security, safety or the good order of the meeting. The taking of photos, videos or audio recordings is not permitted. Anyone who wishes to attend our AGM must follow our safety and security arrangements. Anyone who does not comply with our safety and security arrangements will be asked to leave.

Business of the AGM

The formal notice of the meeting (the "Notice of AGM") is set out on pages 4 to 5 of this document and details the resolutions on which shareholders are being asked to vote. An explanation of the business to be conducted at the meeting is set out on pages 6 to 7.

Resolutions 1 to 18 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. The proposed ordinary resolutions will be passed if more than 50 per cent of the votes cast are in their favour. Resolutions 19 to 21 are proposed as special resolutions. The proposed special resolutions will be passed if at least 75 per cent of the votes cast are in their favour.

Board Changes

There have been a number of Board changes during the year. I was appointed Executive Chairman on 28 June 2024. Following the successful completion of the Business Combination with Eni UK, Luciano Vasquez was appointed to the Board as Chief Executive Officer alongside Francesco Gattei and Guido Brusco as nominated Non-Executive Directors on 3 October 2024. Subsequently, on 7 October 2024, Tamir Polikar was appointed as a nominated Non-Executive Director. On behalf of the Directors, we would like to welcome each of Luciano, Francesco, Guido and Tamir to the Board.

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, Luciano Vasquez, Francesco Gattei, Guido Brusco, Tamir Polikar and I will stand for election as this is the first AGM following our respective appointments to the Board. All other members of the Board will stand for re-election. Biographical details of each Director are given in Appendix 1 on pages 10 and 11 of this document and an overview of the skills and experience represented on the Board is provided on page 131 of the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts and available on the Company's website.

AGM Registration

We are looking forward to welcoming our shareholders at the AGM. Shareholders will be able to participate in the meeting by attending in person, where they will be able to vote on the resolutions and ask questions if they wish to do so.

Whilst all shareholders are entitled and welcome to attend and vote on all resolutions at the AGM, we would ask any shareholder who wishes to attend, to register their interest to do so by emailing the Company's Secretariat team at [email protected] by 2pm on 12 May 2025.

Appointing a Proxy and Voting at the AGM

Your vote is important to the Company and the Board encourages all shareholders to exercise their right and vote either in person or by proxy. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, we strongly encourage you to vote either by appointing the Chair of the meeting or another duly nominated person as your proxy and giving your instructions on how you wish your appointed proxy to vote on the proposed resolutions.

In line with best practice, we encourage the use of electronic proxy voting. You may register your proxy votes via www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. Registering your vote electronically is entirely secure and ensures the privacy of your personal information.

If you wish to vote by post, you will find a proxy form enclosed with this document. Please submit your completed proxy appointment and voting instruction forms as soon as possible, but no later than 9am on 12 May 2025, to the Company's registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, at The Pavilion, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY.

Please note that questions should be received by the Company no later than 2pm on 12 May 2025. Questions may still be asked during the meeting by those attending. Where it is not possible to answer questions submitted prior to and during the meeting (for example, due to time constraints, or it would be undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered), the Board's responses to questions will be published on our website as soon as is practicable after the AGM.

Recommendation

The Directors consider that each of the proposed resolutions to be considered at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of the Company. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions.

Yours faithfully

Yaniv Friedman Executive Chairman

General Counsel and Company Secretary

Notes

Resolutions 1 and 2 – Annual Report and Accounts and Directors' Remuneration Report

Resolution 1 relates to the presentation of the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 together with the Directors' and auditors' reports thereon. The audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 have previously been sent to shareholders electronically and are made available through the Company's Investor portal at https://investors.ithacaenergy.com.

Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval for the 2024 Directors' Remuneration Report.

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Re-appointment of the auditors and remuneration of auditors

Resolution 3 relates to the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as auditors to the Company. Deloitte LLP have confirmed that they are willing to continue in office for a further year. The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, proposes that Deloitte LLP should be reappointed.

Resolution 4 would give the Directors authority, in accordance with standard practice, to negotiate and agree the remuneration of the auditors. In practice, the Audit and Risk Committee will consider the audit fees and make a recommendation to the Board.

Resolutions 5 to 17 – Election and Re-election of Directors

Resolutions 5 to 17 seek shareholder approval to elect Yaniv Friedman, Luciano Vasquez, Francesco Gattei, Guido Brusco and Tamir Polikar following their respective appointments to the Board and to re-elect Iain Lewis, Zvika Zivlin, David Blackwood, Lynne Clow, Assaf Ginzburg, Deborah Gudgeon, Itshak Tshuva and Idan Wallace, in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company. The election and re-election of Directors, if approved, will take effect at the conclusion of the meeting.

Details of the skills, experience and committee membership of each Director can be found on pages 113 to 115 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024 ("Annual Report"). Information regarding their remuneration is set out in the Annual Report. The Board supports the election of the new Directors and re-election of the existing Directors, as it believes that the knowledge and experience of each Director assist in ensuring that the Board has an appropriate balance of skills and experience for the requirements of the Company's business. It is the Board's view that the Directors' biographies on pages 113 to 115 illustrate the diverse nature of the Board and why each Director's contribution is important to the Company's long-term sustainable success.

The Executive Chairman confirms that the formal annual performance evaluation of the Board, that was carried out in December 2024, concluded that each Director performed effectively and demonstrated commitment to their role, including committing significant time for Board and Committee meetings and other duties as arose during the past financial year.

The Board is satisfied that, based on their participation at meetings and their contribution outside of the boardroom, the Directors demonstrate independence of character and judgement in the performance of their roles. Further information on Board composition, independence and experience can be found on pages 123 to 124 of the Annual Report. Information on succession planning is on page 123 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 18 – Authority to allot shares

Resolution 18 seeks shareholder approval to grant the Directors the authority to allot shares in the Company, or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares in the Company, pursuant to section 551 of the CA 2006:

  • (a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £5,511,890, representing approximately one third of the issued ordinary share capital as at 25 March 2025; and
  • (b) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £11,025,434, being approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 25 March 2025, in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue. In line with the most recent guidance issued by the Investment Association, the authority contained in Resolution 18 (b) is limited to two-thirds of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

If approved, the authority shall, unless renewed, revoked or varied by the Company, expire on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolution or, if sooner, the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the passing of the resolution. The exception to this is that the Directors may allot shares or grant rights after the authority has expired in connection with an offer or agreement made or entered into before the authority expired.

Resolution 19 –Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolution 19 seeks to approve the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights under the CA 2006 in respect of certain allotments of shares made under the authorities in Resolution 19, in accordance with the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-emption Rights published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022 (the "PEG Statement of Principles 2022") and in line with the guidance issued by the Investment Association.

The PEG Statement of Principles 2022 allows companies to annually seek authority to issue equity securities for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer up to:

  • (a) 10% of issued ordinary share capital on an unrestricted basis i.e. whether or not in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment;
  • (b) an additional 10% of issued ordinary share capital, provided that it is intended to be used only in connection with the financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) of an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment; and
  • (c) a follow-on offer to existing holders of ordinary shares that have not been allocated shares under an issue made under (a) or (b) above in accordance with the PEG Statement of Principles 2022.

Resolution 19, paragraph (a), would grant the Directors, subject to any arrangements that the Directors consider appropriate to deal with fractions and overseas requirements, the power to make allotments for cash on an unrestricted basis, including in connection with rights issues, open offers and any other pre-emptive issues.

Paragraph (b) would grant the Directors the power to make allotments for cash, up to a maximum nominal value of £1,653,732, representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 25 March 2025. Paragraph (c) would grant the Directors authority to make allotments for cash for up to a maximum nominal value of £1,653,732, representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 25 March 2025, to be used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the PEG Statement of Principles 2022.

Paragraph (d) would grant the Directors the power to make allotments for cash pursuant to the authority under paragraphs 19 (b) and/or 19(c), in each case, up to a further 2% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The authority in paragraph (d) is to be used only as a follow-on offer in accordance with the PEG Statement of Principles 2022, without the ordinary shares first being offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. Accordingly, the maximum additional nominal amount that could be issued under paragraph 19 (d) (based on the authority under paragraph (b) and (c) being used in full) is £661,492 (representing approximately 4% of the issued capital of the Company as at 25 March 2025).

These authorities will expire on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolutions or, if sooner, the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the passing of the resolutions. The exception to this is that the Directors may allot equity securities after the authorities have expired in connection with an offer or agreement made or entered into before the authorities expired.

Resolution 20 – Authority to purchase own shares

Resolution 20 seeks shareholder authority to authorise the market purchase by the Company of a proportion of its issued ordinary share capital, subject to certain limits referred to below.

The Directors consider it prudent to be able to act at short notice if required. In considering the purchase of ordinary shares, the Directors will follow the procedures laid down in the CA 2006. The maximum price (excluding expenses) to be paid per ordinary share on any occasion will be restricted to the higher of (i) 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of an ordinary share of the company derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the ordinary share is contracted to be purchased and (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise these powers but consider it desirable that they should have the flexibility to allot unissued shares, or grant rights to subscribe for shares, if circumstances arise where it may be advantageous for the Company to do so.

Resolution 21 – Notice period for general meetings other than the Annual General Meeting

Under the Companies (Shareholders' Rights) Regulations 2009, the notice period for general meetings has to be not less than 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. Resolution 21 therefore seeks to allow the Company to call general meetings (other than an Annual General Meeting) on 14 clear days' notice provided that a means of electronic voting is made available to all shareholders for that meeting. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. Annual General Meetings of the Company will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the conclusion of the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held in 2026, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

Entitlement to vote and appointing a proxy

Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are strongly encouraged to submit a form of proxy to appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy. If you are a shareholder entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company but must appointed to attend the AGM to represent you. If you do not have a proxy form and believe that you should have one, please contact Computershare on 0370 707 1349. Lines are open from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (UK time).

To be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered in the register of members of the Company by 6pm on 12 May 2025 (or, in the event of any adjournment, not less than 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day). Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

Shareholders may vote electronically by visiting www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. You will be asked to enter the Shareholder Reference Number (SRN), Control Number and PIN shown on your proxy card and agree to certain terms and conditions. CREST shareholders may lodge their proxy via the CREST system (see below).

To be valid, proxy appointments must be received at the Company's registrar Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY United Kingdom, by post or electronically, no later than 9am on 12 May 2025, or in the event of an adjournment, not less than 48 hours before the stated time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day).

A shareholder may change proxy instructions by returning a new proxy form using the methods set out above.

The above deadline for receipt of proxy forms also applies to amended instructions. Any attempt to terminate or amend a proxy form after the relevant deadline will be disregarded.

A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. To appoint more than one proxy, contact the Company's registrar. You will need to state clearly on each proxy form the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is appointed. Failure to specify the number of shares to which each proxy appointment relates or specifying a number in excess of those held by the shareholder will result in the proxy appointment being invalid. If you wish your proxy to attend and speak on your behalf at the meeting you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chair) and give your instructions directly to them.

If you do not give your proxy an indication of how to vote on any resolution, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at their discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as they think fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.

The return of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST proxy instruction (as described below) will not prevent a shareholder attending the AGM and voting in person if they wish to do so.

If a shareholder submits more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. If the Company is unable to determine which appointment was received last, none of them will be treated as valid in respect of that share.

In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

Electronic proxy appointment through CREST or Proxymity

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent, Computershare Investor Services PLC (ID 3RA50), by 9am on 12 May 2025 (or, in the event of an adjournment, not less than 48 hours before the stated time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day)). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors, or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

If you are an institutional investor, you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 9am on 12 May 2025 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.

Corporate representatives and nominated persons

Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. A corporation must execute the form of proxy under its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney. The power of attorney or authority (if any) should be returned with the form of proxy.

Any person to whom this Notice of AGM is sent who is a person nominated under Section 146 of the CA 2006 to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between him or her and the shareholder by whom he or she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he or she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in the notes above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these notes can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company. Nominated Persons are reminded that they should contact the registered holder of their shares (and not the Company) on matters relating to their investments in the Company.

AGM results announcement and total voting rights
