NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of
Synergia Energy Ltd (ACN 078 652 632) (Company) will be held at Vigo
Consulting, 78-79 New Bond Street, London, W1S 1RZ, United Kingdom on Friday,

The Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with this Notice of
Meeting.
VOTING ELIGIBILITY
In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001
(Cth), the Company has determined that the shareholding of each person, for
the purposes of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting,
will be the shareholding of that person set out in the Company's register as
at 10.00am (GMT) / 6:00pm (AWST) on Wednesday, 26 November 2025. Accordingly,
transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining
entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
To vote in person, you must attend the Meeting at the time, date and place set
out above.
To vote by proxy, please complete, sign and return the enclosed Proxy Form by
the time, and in accordance with the instructions, set out on the Proxy Form.
CREST - Depositary Interests
Holders of Depositary Interests (DI Holders) are invited to attend the Meeting
but are not entitled to vote at the Meeting. For their votes to be counted, DI
Holders must either:
· submit a CREST Voting Instruction to the Company's agent in
accordance with the instructions below; or
· complete, sign and return the enclosed Form of Instruction to the
Depositary,
by 2.00pm (GMT) on 25 November 2025. DI Holders who are CREST members and who
wish to issue an instruction through the CREST electronic voting appointment
service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual
(available from https://my.euroclear.com/euilegal.html
(https://my.euroclear.com/euilegal.html) ). CREST personal members or other
CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting
service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services
provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for instructions made using the CREST service to be valid, the
appropriate CREST message (a CREST Voting Instruction) must be properly
authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK &
International Limited (EUI) and must contain the information required for such
instructions, as described in the CREST Manual.
The message, regardless of whether it relates to the voting instruction or to
an amendment to the instruction given to the UK Depositary must, in order to
be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50)
no later than 2.00pm (GMT) on 25 November 2025. For this purpose, the time of
receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied
to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the
issuer's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to
CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service
providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in
CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will
therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions.
It is the responsibility of each CREST member concerned to take (or, if the
CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a
voting service provider(s), to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting
service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that
a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any
particular time. In this regard, CREST members and, where applicable, their
CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to
those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the
CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the
circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities
Regulations 2001.
The entitlement of DI Holders to vote at the Meeting, and the number of votes
which may be cast by DI Holders thereat, will be determined by reference to
the Depositary Interest Register at close of business on 24 November 2025.
Changes to entries on the Depositary Interest Register after that time shall
be disregarded.

Resolutions
1. Resolution 1 - Adoption of Remuneration Report
1.1 General
Section 250R of the Corporations Act provides that a listed company must put
the adoption of its remuneration report to vote at its annual general meeting.
Notwithstanding that the Company is not considered a listed company for the
purposes of section 250R of the Corporations Act and, accordingly, is not
required to put the adoption of the Remuneration Report to vote, it is seeking
Shareholder approval of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting
as a matter of good corporate governance. The Company will implement voting
exclusions and prohibitions in respect of Resolution 1 as though it was
required to put the adoption of the Remuneration Report to vote at the Annual
General Meeting under section 250R of the Corporations Act
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or
the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be
prohibited from adopting the Remuneration Report or required to alter any of
the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
The Remuneration Report is set out in pages 21 to 33 of the Company's 2025
Annual Report, which is available on the "Financial Reports" section of the
Company's website at:
https://www.synergiaenergy.com/investors/financial-reports
(https://www.synergiaenergy.com/investors/financial-reports) .
Section 250SA of the Corporations Act provides that the chair of a listed
company must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders as a whole to
ask questions about or make comments on its remuneration report. The Company
will provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions
concerning or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General
Meeting as a matter of good corporate governance, despite not being required
to do so under the Corporations Act.
The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by
Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the
Company's remuneration policies.
1.2 Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
· If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel
(other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the
Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your
proxy, then you must direct your proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.
Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be
counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this
Resolution.
· If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is
also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are
included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a
member), then you do not need to direct your proxy on how to vote on this
Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair on how to vote, you must
mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to
exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this
Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key
Management Personnel.
· If you appoint any other person as your proxy, then you do
not need to direct your proxy on how to vote on this Resolution, and you do
not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.
1.3 Additional information
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 1 is a non-binding Ordinary Resolution. The Chair intends to
exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
2. Resolution 2 - Re-election of Mr Andrew Darbyshire as a Director
2.1 General
Article 6.2(b) of the Constitution provides that the Directors may appoint any
person as a Director if the appointment of that Director does not cause the
total number of Directors to exceed the maximum number specified by the
Constitution.
Article 6.3(i) of the Constitution provides that any Director appointed under
Article 6.2(b) of the Constitution may retire as a Director at the general
meeting of the Company immediately following their appointment and will be
eligible for re-election as a Director at that meeting.
Pursuant to Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution, a Director that does not
retire as a Director at the general meeting of the Company immediately
following their appointment must retire at the next annual general meeting of
the Company and will be eligible for re-election as a Director at that
meeting.
Mr Andrew Darbyshire was appointed as Synergia Energy Ltd's CFO on 4 November
2024 and as an Executive Director on 4 February 2025, pursuant to Article
6.2(b) of the Constitution. The Meeting is the general meeting of the Company
which immediately follows the appointment of Mr Darbyshire as Director.
Accordingly, Mr Darbyshire may retire, and is eligible for re-election as a
Director at the Meeting under Article 6.3(i) of the Constitution.
Notwithstanding that Mr Darbyshire may retire at the Meeting pursuant to
Article 6.3(i) of the Constitution, the Meeting is the annual general meeting
of the Company which immediately follows the appointment of Mr Darbyshire as
Director. Mr Darbyshire is, therefore, required to retire, and will be
eligible for re-election as a Director at the Meeting pursuant to Article
6.3(j) of the Constitution.
Pursuant to Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution, Mr Darbyshire retires, and,
being eligible, seeks to be re-elected as a Director at the Meeting.
2.2 Andrew Darbyshire Biography
Andrew qualified as a chartered accountant with Garbutt & Elliott in 2011,
and went on to work in audit for Grant Thornton. In 2014, Andrew joined Getech
Group plc, establishing their new finance team. In 2018, Andrew was appointed
to Getech's board and played an instrumental part in several acquisitions and
share placings. Andrew has a master's degree in Mathematics from the
University of York and is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
in England and Wales.
2.3 Board Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Darbyshire) recommends that Shareholders vote in
favour of Resolution 2. Resolution 2 is an Ordinary Resolution. The
Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution
2.
3. Resolution 3 - Re-election of Mr Peter Schwarz as Director
3.1 General
Article 6.3(b) of the Constitution provides that a Director must retire from
office no later than the longer of:
(i) the third annual general meeting of the Company; or
(ii) 3 years following that Director's last election or
appointment.
Pursuant to Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution, a Director who retires under
Article 6.3(b) of the Constitution is eligible for re-election as a Director.
The Company considers that the requirement for Director retirement under
Article 6.3(b) of the Constitution prevails over, and operates separately, and
in addition, to, any other requirement for Director retirement that is set out
in Article 6.3 of the Constitution. However, Article 6.3(a) of the
Constitution provides that the Chief Executive Officer is not required to
retire as a Director under Article 6.3(b).
Mr Peter Schwarz was last elected as a Director at the annual general meeting
of the Company held on 23 November 2022. The Meeting is the third annual
general meeting of the Company following the last election of Mr Schwarz as
Director. Accordingly, Mr Schwarz must retire, and is eligible for re-election
as a Director at the Meeting.
Pursuant to Articles 6.3(b) and 6.3(f) of the Constitution, Mr Schwarz
retires, and, being eligible, seeks to be re-elected as a Director at the
Meeting.
3.2 Peter Schwarz
Mr Schwarz was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in September 2019. A
former director of BG Exploration and Production Limited and CEO of
independent exploration company Virgo Energy Ltd, Mr Schwarz is an AAPG
Certified Petroleum Geologist and business development professional with over
45 years' experience in the oil and gas industry. Mr Schwarz has previously
held various senior management roles with Amerada Hess, BG, and Marubeni and
is currently a director of Finite Energy Limited, an oil and gas consultancy
business he founded over 15 years ago, specialising in strategy and business
development advice in the UK and Europe.
3.3 Board Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Schwarz) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour
of Resolution 3. Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution. The Chair intends to
exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
4. Resolution 4 - Re-election of Mr Mark Bolton as Director
4.1 General
Pursuant to Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution, if the Company has 3 or more
Directors, one third of the Directors (excluding Directors required to retire
under Article 6.3(j) and rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire
at each AGM. Article 6.3(e)(i) provides that the Directors who retire under
Article 6.3(c) are those who have held their office as Director the longest
period of time since their last election or appointment to that office.
Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution further provides that any Director who
retires under Article 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
Mr Mark Bolton was last elected as a Director at the annual general meeting of
the Company held on 15 November 2023. As Mr Bolton has held his office for the
longest period of time since his last election to this office, Mr Bolton must
retire, and is eligible for re-election as a Director at the Meeting.
Pursuant to Articles 6.3(c) and 6.3(f) of the Constitution, Mr Bolton retires,
and, being eligible, seeks to be re-elected as a Director at the Meeting.
The Board (excluding Mr Bolton) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of
Resolution 4. Resolution 4 is an Ordinary Resolution. The Chair intends to
exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

your Proxy Form and follow the prompts
All Proxy Forms must be lodged no later than by 6.00pm (AWST) on Wednesday, 26
November 2025 (or, in the case of any adjournment of the Annual General
Meeting, by no later than 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting at
which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote).
All Forms of Instruction must be lodged no later than 2.00pm (GMT) on Tuesday
25 November 2025.
An instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing under the hand of the
appointer or of the appointer's attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the
appointer is a body corporate, either under its common seal if it has a common
seal, or under the hand of an officer or duly authorised attorney or duly
authorised representative.
A body corporate which is a Shareholder, or which has been appointed as a
proxy, may appoint an individual to act as its representative at the Annual
General Meeting. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the
Corporations Act. The representative should bring evidence of their
appointment to the Annual General Meeting, including authority under which
their appointment is signed, unless previously given to the Company.
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that:
· if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as
directed; and
· any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically
default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a
proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and,
if it does:
· the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy
does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
· if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify
different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of
hands; and
· if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the
resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way
(i.e. as directed); and
· if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the
poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as
directed).
If a proxy is also a Shareholder, section 250BB(1) does not affect the way
that the person can cast any votes that hold as a Shareholder.
Transfer of non-chair proxy to Chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
· an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to
vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
· the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
· at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution;
and
· either of the following applies:
o the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or
o the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to
have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution
at the meeting.
Voting Prohibition by Proxy Holders (Remuneration of Key Management Personnel)
In accordance with section 250BD of the Corporations Act, votes on Resolution
1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of:
· a member of the Key Management Personnel; or
· a Closely Related Party of such member.
However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 if the vote
is not cast on behalf of a person who is excluded from voting on the relevant
Resolution and:
· the person is appointed as proxy by writing that specifies
the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; or
· the person is the Chair and the appointment of the Chair as
proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution, but
expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is
connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
Chair's voting intentions
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all
Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting
intention on the Proxy Form.
If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the
Chair is to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you
are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for
the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even
though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the
remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
