Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to be writing to you with details of our Annual General Meeting at 11:00 a.m. on 12 June 2024.

The meeting is to be held at the offices of Shakespeare Martineau LLP, 6th Floor 60 Gracechurch Street, London, England, EC3V 0HR.

Shareholders unable or unwilling to attend are invited to submit questions to the company via the following email address shareholderenquiries@stbridespartners.co.ukbefore 11:00 a.m. on 10 June 2024 with "PXEN AGM" in the subject. Questions of a similar nature may be grouped and answered as a whole and responses, where permissible will be publish after the meeting.

Shareholders are encouraged to vote beforehand as they see fit by using the proxy system. If you would like to vote on the Resolutions you can appoint the meeting's Chairman as your proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to vote. Simply fill out the proxy card sent as part of this pack.

Other than to confirm the format this year, the purpose of this letter is to explain certain elements of the business to be considered at the meeting. Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. Resolution 5 will be proposed as a special resolution.

RESOLUTION 1 - TO RECEIVE THE ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

The meeting's Chairman will present the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 to the meeting. A copy of the annual report and accounts is either enclosed with this document or is available on the Company's website.

RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 - RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS & THEIR REMUNERATION

Resolution 2 relates to the re-appointment of Adler Shine LLP as the Company's auditors to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting and Resolution 3 authorises the Directors to set their remuneration.

1

RESOLUTION 4 - ALLOTMENT OF SHARE CAPITAL

At the last Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 20 June 2023, and consistent with prior years, the Directors were given authority to allot Ordinary Shares up to a maximum nominal amount of £120,000, representing approximately 42.2 per cent of the Company's then issued ordinary share capital.

Your Board considers it appropriate that a similar authority be granted to allot ordinary shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum nominal amount of £140,000, representing an authority to allot approximately 42.1 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 16 May 2024.

The Board continues to believe that the Company's work in the last 12 months and improving sector sentiment should give rise to a number of exciting opportunities, including complementary investments alongside the existing portfolio and acceleration of the current pipeline of drilling opportunities in the short to medium term.

RESOLUTION 5 - DISAPPLICATION OF STATUTORY PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

Resolution 5 will empower the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum nominal value of £140,000, representing an authority to allot approximately 42.1 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 16 May 2024.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Shareholders will find a Form of Proxy enclosed for use at the Annual General Meeting. You are requested to complete and return the Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible. To be valid, completed Forms of Proxy must be received by the Company's Registrars, not later than 11.00 a.m. on 10 June 2023, being 2 business days before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting. Your attention is drawn to the notes to the Form of Proxy. As noted above, Shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance by proxy and to appointment the Chairman as their proxy.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers the Resolutions are likely to promote the success of the Company and are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings which amount in aggregate to 14,946,810 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 4.49% per cent of the existing issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as of 16 May 2024.

Yours sincerely

BILL SMITH

Chairman

Your proxy will vote as you instruct and must attend the meeting for your vote to be counted. Details of how to appoint the Chairman or another person as your proxy using the proxy form are set out in the notes to the proxy form.
