  2. To appoint BDO LLP as auditor to act as such until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company at which the requirements of section 437 of the Companies Act 2006 ("CA 2006") are complied with and to authorise the directors of the Company to fix its remuneration.
  3. To re-elect Gordon Bowman Stein, who retires by rotation, as a Director.

  1. limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £168,650.18 being 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company, to be used only for the purpose of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights published by the Pre-Emption Group in 2022; and
  2. limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above) to any person up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under sub paragraph

4 Zephyr Energy plc Notice of Annual General Meeting

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

Pursuant to Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 and to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), only those members registered in the register of members of the Company at the close of business on 24 July 2023 (or if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned AGM excluding a part of any day that is not a business day) shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Any changes to the register of members after such time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the AGM.

Appointment of proxies

  • A Shareholder is ordinarily entitled to appoint another person as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
  • Your proxy appointment form must be received by Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, United Kingdom not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjourned meeting.
  • A vote withheld is not a vote in law which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the Resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the annual general meeting.
  • You can vote either:
    • by logging on to www.signalshares.comand following the instructions; or via the Link Group shareholder app, LinkVote+. The app is free to download and use and is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play;
    • by requesting a hard copy form of proxy directly from our Registrars, Link Group on telephone number:
      0371 664 0300. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. The Registrars are open between 9:00 am - 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales; or
    • in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below.
  • In each case the appointment of a proxy must be received by Link Group, PXS 1, Link Group, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, United Kingdom by 11 a.m. BST on 24 July 2023.
  • Under the Company's articles of association, the return of a form of proxy or any CREST Proxy Instruction will

not preclude a member from attending and voting at the meeting in person if they wish to do so.

  • CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM and any adjournment(s) thereof by utilising the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
  • In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (Link Group, ID RA10) not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST applications host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
  • CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system
    by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
  • The Company may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  • In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
