Votes which have been cast at the discretion of the Chairman have been counted as votes for the resolutions. Votes withheld are not votes in law and do not count in the number of votes counted for or against a resolution.

Although resolution 4 was passed, the Board notes that this resolution received more than 41% of votes against the Board's recommendation, equating to approximately 6.4% of the Company's total voting rights. The Board is committed to continuing an open dialogue with the Company's shareholders. Where it is able to, the Board will continue to seek to engage with those shareholders who are understood to have voted against the resolution to understand their views and/or any specific concerns. The Board will reflect on any such feedback ahead of preparing for the Company's next general meeting.

Change of name

Having received shareholder approval at the AGM, the Company's name will be changed to Sunda Energy Plc. The relevant paperwork will be filed with Companies House shortly and a further announcement will be made when the name change is formally effective. Upon the change of name becoming effective, the Company's TIDM will change from "BOIL" to "SNDA".

The ISIN and SEDOL numbers for the Company's ordinary shares will remain unchanged as GB00B01QGH57 and B01QGH5 respectively.

Shareholders are unaffected by the changes and existing share certificates will remain valid and should be retained.
