Letter to shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

The second quarter 2023 could be viewed as the first quarter for the new Maha. The sale of our onshore assets (Tiê and Tartaruga) in Brazil was already closed in the first quarter, but in the second quarter we concluded the business combination with DBO Invest and other shareholders involving our new offshore assets in Brazil (Papa Terra and Peroá), which we from now on will refer to as Maha Offshore (instead of DBO 2.0). Through this transaction we restored our production to almost 2,000 BOEPD and reserves plus contingent resources up to 44.7 mm BOE, to levels as before of the sale of the onshore assets. In addition to that, we have achieved a substantial and robust cash position to pursue attractive new opportunities within the O&G sector worldwide.

The business combination with DBO Invest and other shareholders involving Maha Offshore was completed just before the AGM in May. Through the transaction, we increased our reserves with 18.8 MMBoe (indirect equity interest of 15% on 3R Offshore) and we are pleased to report that our new assets have gotten off with an excellent initial performance. The production increased by 24% from the first to the second quarter and amounted to 1,988 BOEPD (including 211 BOEPD from our US assets). But there is still room for further increases, specially if we consider that we had a temporary interruption (maintenance) at the Papa Terra cluster in May 2023 and ongoing investments. For the first time we are reporting our share in income from investment in associate from Maha Offshore (non-cash), which amounted to TUSD 454 since the date of closing May 23rd.

In Oman, we continued the work with the initial short-term production test launched in mid March 2023. All eight production wells drilled in the 2022/2023 drilling program were tested for short term and five produced oil to surface at an initial estimated average rate of 300 barrels of oil per day per well, while three had to be suspended after producing water and gas but before producing any oil. Even though more than 4,000 barrels of heavy, high viscosity oil (between 11-13 degrees API) were produced, filling all tank capacity available at Block 70, oil offloading has not yet initiated. Maha is now scaling up chemical treatment of the produced oil to reduce viscosity and enhance flowability to achieve the required specification to offload the produced oil to the third-party facility for further processing and transportation through the Omani national pipeline system.

Also, during the second quarter of 2023, the Minimum Work Obligations of the EPSA have been fully concluded as planned and, as Maha approaches the end of the Initial Phase in late October 2023, Maha has requested the extension of this Phase of the EPSA to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of the Sultanate of Oman (“MEM”). During the extended Initial Phase, Maha intends to implement activities necessary to support any potential decision regarding Block 70’s declaration of commerciality.

Our total cash balance amounts to USD 102.4 million (including restricted cash of USD 41.1 million). On top of that, we expect the second installment of USD 55.0 million from the onshore Brazil sale later in the end of August. We have actively managed these funds. For the second quarter 2023, we report a Financial Income of USD 4.3 million. We are very excited with this moment and confident to continue investing these resources into new transactions and continue our growth momentum based on a robust M&A strategy. We stick to our growth path and are eager to conclude more transactions at attractive multiples. We appreciate you taking this journey with us.

Yours sincerely, Paulo T. Arantes de Mendonça (CEO)
