 COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
 INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY).  IF THE ADMISSION IS
 SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
 STATED:

 Kistos Holdings plc was incorporated in England and Wales on 17 November 2022
 to act as a new holding company for the group companies of Kistos plc, subject
 to the completion of a reorganisation to completed by way of a Court
 sanctioned scheme of arrangement pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006
 (as amended).

 Kistos plc is a holding company incorporated in England and Wales on 14
 October 2020. Kistos plc was established with the objective of creating value
 for its investors through the acquisition and management of companies or
 businesses in the energy sector. Kistos plc's main country of operation is the
 United Kingdom, with material operations in the Netherlands.

 To date Kistos plc has made two significant acquisitions:

 (i) it completed the acquisition of Tulip Oil Netherlands on 20th May 2021;
 and

 (ii) it completed the acquisition of a portfolio of license interests and
 associated infrastructure in the Greater Laggan Area of the North Sea, with an
 effective date of 1 January 2022, on the 11 July 2022.

 The latter transaction more than doubled Kistos plc's annualised production to
 12.4 kboe/d on a pro forma basis in the first half of 2022. In the meantime,
 output from the group operated Q10-A field in the Dutch sector of the North
 Sea benefited from the drilling and workover campaign conducted between July
 2021 and February 2022. Average daily production net to the Group's 60%
 interest in the field was 6.1 kboe/d in the six months to 30 June 2022 or 5%
 higher than the equivalent six-month period a year earlier. Scope 1 emissions
 from the Q10-A platform remain industry leading at approximately 1 gram of
 CO2e/boe. This follows the 2021 upgrade of the wind turbines on the renewably
 powered facility, which is also fitted with solar panels and is only visited
 by boat. The business in the Netherlands benefited from higher gas prices in
 the first half of 2022, with average realisations of €83.55/MWh versus
 €20.71/MWh in the 6 months to 30 June 2021. Including pro forma realisations
 from the Greater Laggan Area, average realisations for the period were
 €82.65/MWh. On an oil equivalent basis, the company estimates pro forma
 revenue from Q10-A and the Greater Laggan Area averaged US$151.2/boe.
