Empyrean Energy PLC ("Empyrean" or the "Company")

Posting of Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting

Empyrean Energy PLC (EME: AIM) announces that its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') will be held at 10 Brick St, Mayfair, London, W1J 7HQ at 10.00 a.m. on 23 September 2021.

The Company announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 are today being posted to shareholders, together with a Notice of the 2021 AGM, and are now available to download from the Company's website at www.empyreanenergy.com.

COVID-19 and the AGM

The Company continues to monitor the status of the ongoing coronavirus ("COVID-19") global pandemic, including the related public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK Government.  In convening our AGM, the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and shareholders must be our highest priority. Although official COVID-19-related guidance currently permits public meetings, in view both of the ongoing uncertainty as to how this may develop over the next month and of the measures currently being taken by the Company (or which may, by the time of the AGM, be introduced) to ensure the safety of its staff and shareholders, the Board has decided to strongly recommend that the Company's shareholders do not attend the 2021 AGM in person.

The Board cannot discount the possibility that it may become necessary after the date of this letter to further restrict or even prohibit entry to the Meeting, which may result in shareholders travelling to the meeting being refused entry on the day. We are therefore encouraging all shareholders of the Company not to attend the AGM in person, but instead to exercise their right to appoint a proxy and to submit their voting instructions in advance of the meeting.

Form of Proxy

Shareholders will not receive a form of proxy for the Annual General Meeting in the post. Instead, you will receive instructions to enable you to vote electronically and how to register to do so and may request a hard copy proxy form directly from the registrars, Link Group, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL (telephone number: 0371 664 0391).
