(1) Based on the latest information published by Egdon on 31 January 2022.

PHC, a company registered in the Netherlands, is a subsidiary of HEYCO (registered in Delaware, USA). HEYCO owns over 99% of the share capital of PHC, and the remaining less than 1% is owned by Petrichor Partners-Delaware, LP, a limited partnership registered in Delaware, USA. Petrichor Partners-Delaware, LP is directly and wholly owned by HEYCO.

HEYCO's majority shareholder is Explorers Petroleum Corporation of which George Yates is the ultimate controller.

PPL is owned by various limited partners and the general partner of PPL is HEYCO International, Inc. ("HINT"), a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of HEYCO.

The amended and restated partnership agreement dated 11 June 2021 of PPL entered into between the limited partners ("Partnership Agreement") gives the general partner the authority to make investment decisions for PPL without the input of the limited partners.

Jalapeño's President is Harvey E Yates Jr, George Yates' brother.

Steven Jackson is a long-time family friend and business associate of the Yates family. Steven Jackson is also a limited partner in PPL and a party to the Partnership Agreement.

Takeover Panel

Petrichor's advisers have approached the Takeover Panel ("Panel") to obtain a waiver from a potential need to make a general offer for all Egdon Ordinary Shares not held by them at the price at which the transfer took place. The basis of this is Note 4 to Rule 9.1 which provides for such relief to be granted, subject to the Panel's consent, in circumstances where there are transfers between Concert Party members and the result is not to alter the practical effect of the existing arrangements. In this case the general partner will remain Heyco International and the ultimate controller is Heyco, a Delaware corporation.

Warrants

In July 2021 the Company raised GBP1.44 million through the issue of 115,228,000 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 1.25 pence per share. In addition, each two subscription shares were granted a right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share at a price of 2.5 pence per share, (a "Warrant"). All members of the Concert Party were subscribers in July 2021 and were accordingly issued with Warrants. At the same time as the transfer of the Concert Party's ordinary shares to PPL, the Concert Party have transferred their holdings of Warrants to PPL. As a result PPL now holds 26,524,000 Warrants. At the date hereof 49,299,000 Warrants remain outstanding and are exercisable at any time until 23 July 2023.
