Seplat Energy Plc

("Seplat Energy" or the "Company")

 

Confirmation of 2023 AGM to hold as scheduled - 10 May 2023

 

 

Lagos and London - 4 May 2023: Seplat Energy has become aware of certain media
reports which seek to create the impression that the Federal High Court in
Abuja has restrained the Company from holding its 2023 Annual General Meeting
("AGM") in the duplicated petition of FHC/ABJ/PET/8/2023 - Boniface Okezie
& 4 others V. Seplat Energy & 9 others.

 

These media reports are a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and
misrepresent the court proceedings, as the Court made no such order suspending
the holding of the AGM. It is imperative to recall from the Company's
Announcement of 28 April 2023 that the Court did not grant the Petitioners'
request to restrain the Company from holding its AGM.

 

Seplat Energy is working within the purview of the law, with due reference to
the Court, and has secured all required approvals.

 

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the Rulebook of the
Nigerian Exchange, 2015 (Issuer's Rule).
