acting as broker dealer. The Shares acquired will, in due course, be

The initial seller of the Shares was EIG Management Company, LLC (“EIG”),
who made the sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. EIG is an associate of Diversified director, Randy
Wade. Accordingly, the Transaction constitutes a related party transaction
under UKLR 8. The Shares were originally issued by the Company as partial
consideration for the Company’s East Texas acquisition, which closed in
October 2024. The Ordinary Shares issued to affiliates of EIG as consideration
for the acquisition of Maverick Natural Resources, LLC, which closed on March
14, 2025, remain subject to the terms of a previously disclosed commercial
lock up agreement.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) confirms that it
considers that the Transaction is fair and reasonable as far as shareholders
of Diversified are concerned, and that the Board has been so advised by Stifel
Nicolaus Europe Limited as sponsor to Diversified in connection with the
Transaction.

Following the cancellation of Shares, Diversified will have 78,814,343
Ordinary Shares of 20 Pence each in issue and no Ordinary Shares are held in
treasury. This figure of 78,814,343 may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (the Market
Abuse Regulation), (as in force in the UK and as amended by the Market Abuse
(Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019), the table below contains detailed
information of the individual trades made by Mizuho Securities USA LLC as part
of the buyback programme.
