Directorate Change

Ithaca Energy plc ("Ithaca Energy" or the "Company"), a leading independent oil and gas operator in the North Sea announces that John Mogford has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his role of Senior Independent Director.

The Board will shortly commence a search to identify and appoint a successor as soon as possible, and a further announcement will be made when appropriate.

Gilad Myerson, Executive Chairman said: "The Ithaca Energy Board would like to thank John for his exceptional guidance over the last 18 months, in particular through the Company's successful IPO and during our first full year of operations as a listed company. We will initiate a search for John's replacement in short order to ensure a managed transition of his responsibilities."

John Mogford said: "A year and a half after the IPO, giving the UK a significant independent oil and gas producer, and positioning the Company for a potential transformational combination with Eni's UK operations, I have decided to step down from the Company's Board as it enters the next period of its journey. We can be proud of our achievements in this period, especially in progressing Rosebank through FID and well into construction, and in successfully navigating the transition from a private company to a publicly listed company. I wish the Company and those involved with it the best for the future as they continue on their growth journey."

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 of 16 April 2014 (MAR) as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
