Dear Shareholder

Notice of General Meeting

Thor Energy PLC ("Thor" or "the Company") is pleased to invite you to its general meeting to be held at the office of WH Ireland Limited, 24 Martin Lane, London, EC4R 0DR on 23 August 2023 at 10 a.m. (British Summer Time).

The purpose of the General Meeting is to consider, and if thought fit passing the resolutions contained in the notice.

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for a share consolidation. The Company has a large number of Shares on issue, which is disproportionate relative to the Company's peers. In addition, for shares of low denominations, small absolute movements in the share price can represent large percentage movements resulting in volatility and the bid-offer spread on shares priced at low absolute levels can be disproportionate to the share price and therefore to the detriment of Shareholders. For these reasons, the Board is of the view that it would benefit the Company and Shareholders to reduce the number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue with a resulting adjustment in the market price of such shares, by consolidating the Existing Ordinary Shares on the basis of 1 New Ordinary Share of £0.001 for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 each. The share consolidation is proposed to be effective for the commencement of ASX and AIM trading on 31 August 2023.

Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares and accompanying Options to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd, as consideration for the completion of the acquisition of 29% interest in a portion of exploration licences, located in South Australia, which together with 51% acquired in 2021, will take the total interest to 80%. The option for Thor to acquire the additional 29% interest arises once Thor has incurred additional exploration expenditure of $750,000.

Resolutions 3 to 5 inclusive, seek shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of Performance Shares to each of the Directors. ASX Listing Rules requires shareholder approvals for the issue of these securities, as Directors are considered a Related Party of the Company for ASX Listing Rule purposes.

Thor's Directors believe that all of the resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions at the General Meeting.

The Notes to the Notice of General Meeting contain further details explaining the resolutions.

Yours faithfully

NOTES TO RESOLUTIONS

Notes to Resolution 1 – Share Consolidation

The Company is proposing to implement a consolidation of the Company's ordinary share capital with effect from 20.00 hours British Summer Time on 30 August 2023, on the basis of 1 New Ordinary Share of £0.001 for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 each, pursuant to section 618 of the Act ("Consolidation"). Under the Act a Company may sub-divide or consolidate all or any part of its share capital where it has been authorised to do so by a resolution of its members.

The Company has a large number of Shares in issue, due to historical equity-based capital raisings and corporate transactions. The number of Shares is disproportionate relative to the Company's peers. In addition, for shares of low denominations, small absolute movements in the share price can represent large percentage movements resulting in volatility and the bid-offer spread on shares priced at low absolute levels can be disproportionate to the share price and therefore to the detriment of Shareholders.

For these reasons, the Board is of the view that it would benefit the Company and Shareholders to reduce the number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue with a resulting adjustment in the market price of such shares, by consolidating the Existing Ordinary Shares on the basis of 1 New Ordinary Share of £0.001 for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 each. This is expected to assist in reducing the volatility in the Company's share price and enable a more consistent valuation of the Company, potentially making the Company's shares more attractive to institutional shareholders.

The effect of the Consolidation, if approved by Shareholders, is as follows:

a. The number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue will be reduced from approximately 2,393 million to approximately 239 million New Ordinary Shares. As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual Shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares, subject to treatment of fractional entitlements. It follows that the Consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual Shareholder in the Company. The aggregate value of each Shareholder's holding (and the Company's market capitalisation) should not materially change (other than minor changes as a result of fractional entitlements) as a result of the Consolidation alone (that is assuming no other market movements or impacts occur). However, the effect on the price per Share at the time of conversion should be to increase it to reflect the reduced number of Shares in issue. Assuming no other market movements occur for reasons other than the Consolidation, a New Ordinary Share will theoretically trade at 10 times the price at which Existing Ordinary Shares previously traded.

b. As each CDI in issue is a unit of beneficial ownership in an issued Shares registered in the name of CHESS, the effect of the consolidation of the issued Share capital will be to consolidate the


issued CDIs in the same ratio (every 10 CDIs held will consolidate into 1 CDI, subject to the treatment of fractional entitlements). Otherwise, the effects of the consolidation on CDIs and holders of CDIs will be the same as for Shares and holders of Shares, as detailed in paragraph (a) above.

c. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.22, upon the consolidation of Shares and CDIs taking effect, the number of Options (termed Warrants in the United Kingdom) in issue are required to be consolidated in the same ratio as the Shares and CDIs, and their exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Accordingly, the approval of Resolution 1 will have a flow on effect for all Options issued by the Company.

d. From the effective date of the Consolidation:

  • If you hold a share certificate in respect of your Existing Ordinary Shares in the Company, your certificate will no longer be valid from the time the proposed Consolidation becomes effective. If you hold more than 10 Existing Ordinary Shares on the Record Date you will be sent a new share certificate evidencing the New Ordinary Shares to which you are entitled under the Consolidation. Such certificates are expected to be despatched no later than 6 September 2023. Upon receipt of the new certificate, you should destroy any old certificates. Pending the despatch of the new certificates, transfers of certificated New Ordinary Shares will be certified against the Company's share register.
  • If you hold your Existing Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form in CREST, you should expect to have your CREST account credited with the New Ordinary Shares to which you are entitled on implementation of the Consolidation on 31 August 2023 or as soon as practicable after the Consolidation becomes effective.
  • All holding statements for Shares and CDIs will cease to be accurate and the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued to holders of Shares and CDIs. Pending receipt of new holding statements, it is the responsibility of Shareholders and CDI holders to check the number of post consolidation Shares or CDIs (as applicable) held by them prior to any sale or other dealings.

e. Following the Consolidation, the Company's new SEDOL code will be BRJ5231 and its new ISIN code will be GB00BRJ52319.

The effect of the Consolidation on the Company's capital structure, including CDIs and Options, is as follows:

Existing securities on issue
Ordinary shares (AIM) 933,621,387 - 93,362,138 -

Performance Shares - Resolution 4^{4} 5,000,000 - 500,000 -
Performance Shares - Resolution 5^{4} 5,000,000 - 500,000 -

1 This assumes no further securities are issued (other than those contemplated in this Notice of Meeting), no CDIs converted to Shares, no Shares are converted to CDIs, and none of the existing Options are exercised or lapse between the date of this Notice of General Meeting and the date the consolidation takes effect, and does not take into account to the impact of rounding.

2 61,538,461 unlisted options are due to expire on 17 August 2023, prior to the Consolidation. Any CDI’s or Ordinary Shares issued as a result of options exercised prior to that expiry date will convert at the same ratio of 1 CDI or Ordinary Share for every 10 Pre-Consolidation CDIs or Ordinary Shares held. To the extent the Options lapse on the expiry date, there will be no impact on the Post-Consolidation CDIs or Ordinary Shares on issue.

3 CDI’s are to be issued to value of $250,000, with the price per CDI determined by the VWAP of the five ASX trading days immediately prior to issue, together with two free accompanying Options for each CDI issued. Therefore, the number of CDIs and Options are dependent on the VWAP calculation. The number of CDI’s and Options shown above are an indicative example based on a price per CDI of $0.005. Refer to Resolution 2 for further details.

4 While there is no exercise price applicable to the conversion of the Performance Shares to Ordinary Shares or CDIs, there are vesting conditions based on the Company’s share price. These share price based vesting conditions are increased by a factor of 10 upon Consolidation. Refer to Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and Appendix B for further details.

The timetable for the Consolidation, if Resolution 1 is approved, is as follows:

  • Indicative and subject to change in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Admission to AIM

The Consolidation is conditional upon admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. Application for such Admission will be made so as to enable the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM as soon as practicable following the Record Date. It is expected that Admission will become effective on the commencement of trading on 31 August 2023, whereupon the Consolidation will be effective.


12

Taxation

The Consolidation will occur through the conversion of every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares into 1 New Ordinary Share. No capital gains tax event is expected to occur as a result of the Consolidation and therefore there should be no taxation implications arising for Securityholders. However, Securityholders are encouraged to seek and rely only on their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, employees or advisors assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Securityholders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed consolidation.

No liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax will be incurred by a holder of Existing Ordinary Shares as a result of the proposed Consolidation.

Fractional Entitlements

No Shareholder will be entitled to a fraction of a New Ordinary Share and where, as a result of the consolidation of Existing Ordinary Shares described above, any Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a New Ordinary Share in respect of their holding of Existing Ordinary Shares at the Record Date (a "Fractional Shareholder"), such fractions shall be aggregated with the fractions of New Ordinary Shares to which other Fractional Shareholders of the Company may be entitled, so as to form full New Ordinary Shares and sold in the market. The costs, including the associated professional fees and expenses, that would be incurred in distributing such proceeds are likely to exceed the total net proceeds distributable to such Fractional Shareholders. The Board is therefore of the view that, as a result of the disproportionate costs in such circumstances, it would not be in the Company's best interests to distribute such proceeds of sale and the proceeds will instead be retained for the benefit of the Company in accordance with the Resolution.

Notes to Resolution 2 – Issue of Securities (Alford East Acquisition Securities)

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares and free accompanying options to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd (or nominees) as consideration for the completion of the acquisition of a further 29% interest, which in addition to the existing 51%, will make a total 80% interest in a portion of exploration licences EL6255 and EL6529, located in South Australia ("Alford East Acquisition Securities"). Thor is entitled to further increase its interest to 80% upon incurring additional exploration expenditure of $750,000 by 9 November 2024. If this exploration expenditure is not reached by that date, Thor will not be entitled to increase its interest by 29% and it will relinquish its 51% interest. Based on planned exploration expenditure Thor expects to meet the expenditure requirement within 3 months of the General Meeting.

For further details refer to the Company's ASX announcement on 20 November 2020 (ASX 23 November 2020).

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 shares it had in issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Alford East Acquisition Securities falls within exception 17 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, being that the Company entered into an agreement to issue securities subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company now seeks shareholder approval to issue the Alford East Acquisition Securities.

If this Resolution is passed, then the Alford East Acquisition Securities will not be counted towards the 15% limit on the issue of securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Shareholder approval is not obtained, the Company will seek to negotiate alternative terms with the vendors, including a potential cash payment in lieu of the Alford East Acquisition Securities.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

(a) the Alford East Acquisition Securities will be issued and allotted to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd or nominees. Spencer Metals Pty Ltd is not a Related Party of the Company;

(b) $250,000 in Ordinary Shares, issued at a price per Ordinary Share determined by the VWAP of the five ASX trading days immediately prior to issue, together with two free accompanying Options for each Ordinary Share issued. If Resolution 1 is approved by shareholders and the Alford East Acquisition Securities are issued prior to the Record Date for the Consolidation, then the number of Ordinary Shares and Options comprising the Alford East Acquisition Securities will


be reduced by a factor of 10 through the subsequent Consolidation (and the Option exercise price increased by a factor of 10);

(c) the Ordinary Shares will be issued and allotted as fully paid and will rank equally with existing Ordinary Shares in issue. The unlisted Options have an exercise price of $0.03 (3 cents) and expire five years from the date of issue. If the Options are exercised, the resulting Ordinary Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally with existing Ordinary Shares in issue. All other terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure A to these Explanatory Notes;

(d) the Company intends to issue the Alford East Acquisition Securities as soon as practicable following the date of the Meeting and following achievement of the required exploration expenditure, being no later than three months after the date of the Meeting;

(e) no funds will be raised as the Alford East Acquisition Securities will be issued and allotted to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd (or nominees) as consideration for the acquisition of interests in exploration tenements from Spencer Metals Pty Ltd;

(f) the Alford East Acquisition Securities will be issued pursuant to a Farmin and Joint Venture Agreement between the Company and Spencer Metals Pty Ltd. Pursuant to the Farmin and Joint Venture Agreement, Spencer Metals Pty Ltd granted the Company the right to earn an interest in a portion of South Australian exploration licences EL6255 and EL6529 by incurring expenditure on exploration and making other payments to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd, including by the issue of the Alford East Acquisition Securities. The Farmin and Joint Venture Agreement is otherwise on terms that are standard for agreements of its type, including standard joint venture provisions that will become operative upon formation of the joint venture pursuant to the agreement; and

(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of General Meeting.

Expiry Date Five years from the grant date.
Listing The options will be unlisted.
