Results of General Meeting in connection with the proposed acquisition of
Wintershall Dea asset portfolio

5 July 2024

 

A general meeting of Harbour (the "General Meeting") was held today at the
offices of Clifford Chance LLP at 10 Upper Bank Street, London, in connection
with the proposed acquisition by Harbour of substantially all of Wintershall
Dea AG's upstream oil and gas assets (the "Acquisition").

Harbour is pleased to announce that each of the resolutions were put to the
General Meeting, voted on by way of a poll and duly approved without amendment
by the requisite majorities of shareholders of Harbour eligible to vote on the
resolutions. Details of the resolutions were set out in the circular posted to
shareholders on 12 June 2024 (the "Circular") and can also be found on
Harbour's website at www.harbourenergy.com (http://www.harbourenergy.com)
under the "Investors" tab.

Shareholder approval for the Acquisition has now been received, however the
Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, where applicable)
of certain other conditions, as described in the Circular.

Harbour continues to expect the Acquisition to complete in Q4 2024.
