Dear Shareholder

General Meeting

On 19 December 2022 the Company announced that it had successfully raised gross proceeds of approximately £7 million by means of a placing to certain institutional and other investors to raise approximately £2 million, (the "Placing") and a direct subscription to raise approximately £5 million (the "Subscription") (together, the "Fundraising"), in each case at a price of 1.65 pence per share (the "Fundraising Price").

The Fundraising was conducted in two tranches, with the initial tranche of new Ordinary Shares under the Fundraising (comprising in aggregate 341,219,000 Ordinary Shares, being the shares issued under the Placing and 226,219,000 shares issued under the Subscription) being issued under the Company's pre-existing share capital authorities, and the second tranche of 89,781,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Conditional Subscription"), together with 311,250,000 warrants in respect of the entire Fundraising ("Warrants"), being subject to shareholders passing the certain resolutions ("Resolutions") at a General Meeting ("GM").

In addition, and conditional upon the passing of the Resolutions, Forum Energy Services Ltd ("Forum") has agreed to accept the allotment and issue of 60,606,061 new Ordinary Shares (the "Forum Share Issue") at the Fundraising Price (together with the issue of 30,303,030 warrants on the same basis as applicable to the Fundraising ("Forum Warrants")) in settlement of the Company's obligation to pay certain deferred consideration of £1,000,000 to Forum in accordance with the Saltfleetby SPA as announced on 24 May 2022.

Accordingly, the Company is now convening a general meeting to table the necessary Resolutions, being:

  1. resolutions to authorise the issue of new Ordinary Shares in connection with the Conditional Subscription, Warrants, the Forum Share Issue and the Forum Warrants and to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of such allotments; and
  2. to authorise the Directors to allot further Ordinary Shares and to disapply statutory pre- emption rights in respect of allotment up to a certain amount. This will give the Directors flexibility to allot further Ordinary Shares in the future should they consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.

The GM will be held at the offices of Fladgate LLP, 16 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5DG on Monday 9 January 2023 at 11.00 a.m. The formal notice of the meeting is set out on page 5 of this document and contains the proposed resolutions to be considered and voted on at the meeting. Further details of the proposed resolutions are set out in the section entitled "Explanatory notes to the business of the GM" on page 4.

It is anticipated, subject to the passing of the Resolutions, that admission to AIM of the Ordinary Shares to be issued under the Conditional Subscription and the Forum Share Issue will become

effective on 12 January 2023. The total Warrants and Forum Warrants, subject to the passing of the Resolutions and assuming no exercise of existing options and warrants, would be 341,553,030 representing 9.96% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Fundraising and the Forum Share Issue.

We strongly encourage you to vote on all resolutions by completing a proxy form in advance of the meeting, appointing the Chair of the meeting as your proxy, whether or not you are ultimately able to attend in person.

Action to be taken

We encourage that you vote on the proposed resolutions by appointing a proxy to attend, speak and vote on your behalf. To appoint a proxy:

  1. you can complete the enclosed proxy appointment form, in accordance with the instructions printed on it, and return it (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such item) to our registrar, Share Registrars Limited at 3 The Millennium Centre, Crosby Way, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7XX; or
  2. if you hold your shares in CREST, you can alternatively submit an electronic proxy appointment instruction to our Share Registrars Limited (CREST participant number 7RA36) through the CREST system in accordance with the CREST Manual.

In either case, the proxy appointment form should be returned, or the electronic proxy appointment instruction transmitted, as soon as possible and in any event so as to be received by Share Registrars Limited by 11.00 a.m. on Thursday 5 January 2023.

Further details about how you may submit a proxy form (either electronically or in hard copy form) are set out in the Notes to the Notice of General Meeting which appear on page 8 of this document.

The appointment of a proxy will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting in person at the GM, should you wish to do so.

Recommendation

Explanatory notes in relation to each of the proposed resolutions to be considered and voted on at the GM are set out on page 4 of this document. The Board considers that each of these resolutions is in the best interests of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, each member of the Board who holds shares in the Company intends to vote in favour of each resolution in respect of their own beneficial holdings. The directors unanimously strongly recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions.

The results of the meeting will be published on the Company's website and will be released to the London Stock Exchange as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the GM.

Yours sincerely

Patrick Clanwilliam

Chairman
