Posting of Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of Annual General Meeting
 
Independent Oil and Gas plc ("IOG" or "the Company"), (AIM: IOG.L), the development and production company focused on becoming a substantial UK gas producer, announces that it has posted to shareholders copies of its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 together with the Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and form of proxy. An electronic copy of the Annual Report and Accounts is on the Company's website (www.iog.co.uk) and the Notice of AGM will also shortly be published there as well.   
 
The AGM will be held at the offices of Fieldfisher, Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London EC4R 3TT, or such other venue as may be notified, on 1st May 2020 at 10.00 am. 
 
In light of the government's response to the COVID-19 outbreak, which includes banning all non-essential travel and gatherings of more than two people, the Company strongly encourages all Shareholders to submit their Form of Proxy or use the CREST Proxy Voting Service (as applicable), rather than attend the meeting in person. In accordance with the Company's articles of association, whilst completion and return of the Form of Proxy or the using of the CREST Proxy Voting Service (as applicable) would not preclude shareholders from attending, speaking and voting in person at the General Meeting should they so wish, shareholders are reminded that to do so would potentially be in breach of the Government's latest laws in relation to COVID-19. Voting will take place as usual and if the Company is of the view that this does not reflect the proxy votes, the Chair will direct voting to be by poll. Shareholders may listen to the formal AGM proceedings by dialing in to +44 (0) 330 336 9411 pin code 1556557 but will not be able to vote by telephone, as the Company's articles of association do not permit this. 
 
A corporate presentation will be made available on the Company's website at https://www.iog.co.uk/investors/ and a conference call will take place immediately after the formal business of the meeting where Shareholders may ask questions. 
 
Shareholders should be aware that, in accordance with current guidance, if the current restrictions on travel and gatherings remain in place, shareholders (other than the appointed Chair of the meeting) will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as necessary.
