RESOLUTION 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, DIREC TORS' REPORT AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The Company's financial statements, together with the Directors' Report and the Independent Auditor's Report for the year ended 31 December 2019, will be put to the Meeting for consideration.

There is no requirement for the Meeting to approve these reports. However, the Chair of the Meeting will allow reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the reports and regarding the management of the Company.

Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and the contents of the Independent Auditor's Report.

As Oil Search is a company incorporated in Papua New Guinea, it is not bound by the provisions of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requiring the inclusion of a Remuneration Report in the Directors' Report. However, in the interest of good governance, the Company elects to include a Remuneration Report in the Directors' Report that has been prepared in conformity with the requirements of section 300A of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Oil Search's 2019 Annual Report has been made available to shareholders and is located on the Company's website at the following address: www.oilsearch.com/investors/asx-releases/annual-reports

RESOLUTION 2 AND 3 - RE - ELEC TION OF DIREC TORS

Clause 15.3(b) of the Company's Constitution requires that at each Annual Meeting, one-third of the directors, (other than each Alternate Director and the Managing Director), automatically retire and are eligible for re- appointment (and, if not reappointed, that retirement takes effect at the conclusion of that Annual Meeting). There is a similar requirement in the ASX Listing Rules (Listing Rule 14.4). Directors who retire from office in this manner are eligible for re-election.

Ms Harris re-joined the Board on 1 January 2017, after previously serving as a director from March 2013 to December 2015. Sir Kostas joined the Board on 16 April 2002 and was last re-elected at the Annual Meeting in May 2017. Ms Harris and Sir Kostas offer themselves for re-election. Details on their experience, qualifications and capabilities are set out below.

Ms Fiona E Harris, BCom, FCA (Aust), FAICD, 59 years

Ms Harris re-joined the Board on 1 January 2017, after previously serving as a director from March 2013 to December 2015. Ms Harris has over twenty years of experience as a non-executive director, including on

a number of internationally-focused listed energy and natural resources companies, and is a former WA State President and National Board Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Ms Harris is currently a non-executive director of listed entity BWP Trust. In the past three years

3

2 0 2 0 N O T I C E O F M E E T I N G

she was a non-executive director of Infigen Energy Limited. Prior to commencing her career as a non-executive director, Ms Harris was a partner at chartered accountants KPMG, working in Perth, San Francisco and Sydney.

The Board assesses Ms Harris to be an independent director and, with Ms Harris abstaining, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Ms Harris' re-election.

Sir Kostas G Constantinou, OBE, 62 years

Sir Kostas joined the Board on 16 April 2002. He is a prominent business figure in Papua New Guinea, holding

  1. number of highlevel public sector and private sector appointments. Sir Kostas is Chairman of various companies, including Bank of South Pacific Limited, Air Niugini, Airways Hotel and Apartments Limited, Lamana Hotel Limited and Lamana Development Limited. He is a director of Alotau International Hotel, Heritage Park Hotel in Honiara, Gazelle International Hotel in Kokopo, Taumeasina Island Resort in Samoa, Good Taste Company in New Zealand and Loloata Island Resort Limited in Papua New Guinea. Sir Kostas is also Vice Chairman of the Employers Federation of Papua New Guinea, Honorary Consul for Greece and Cyprus in Papua New Guinea, and Trade Commissioner for Solomon Islands to Papua New Guinea.

When assessing Sir Kostas' independence, the Board (without Sir Kostas being present) specifically reviewed whether his tenure and business relationships and associations had impacted, or could impact, his independence. The Board determined that Sir Kostas continues to be independent and his counsel on PNG affairs of great value to the Board in its various deliberations. The Board, with Sir Kostas abstaining, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Sir Kostas' re-election.

RESOLUTION 1 - ISSUE OF PERFOR M ANCE RIGHTS TO M ANAGING DIREC TOR,

DR KEIR AN WULFF, UNDER THE LONG -TER M INCENTIVE PL AN

Resolution 1 of the Special Business deals with the proposed award of 286,100 Performance Rights (PRs) to Managing Director, Dr Keiran Wulff, under the LTI Plan.

The key terms applying to the proposed award of PRs are summarised below.

A. TYPE OF AWARD

Awards of PRs are structured as rights to acquire ordinary shares in the Company for nil consideration, provided specified performance criteria are met within defined time periods. PRs may be settled in cash of equivalent value, at the Board's discretion.

The LTI Plan rules allow participation by any executive, executive director or any other employee deemed to be eligible by the Board.

Awards under the LTI Plan are expressed as a number of PRs to acquire a defined number of ordinary shares in the Company (generally one share for each PR or in accordance with a formula specified in the offer letter).

B. PURCHASE PRICE

Recipients of PRs are not required to pay any amount in respect of the PRs or upon acquisition of the shares pursuant to the terms of the PRs.

C. SIZE OF AWARD

The Board determines the dollar value of the annual PR award to be issued to each participant through an assessment of market remuneration practices and in line with Oil Search's executive remuneration strategy.

The number of PRs is then determined by dividing the dollar value of the PR award by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Oil Search's shares over five trading

days commencing the day after the announcement of the Company's 2019 full year results and then rounding to the nearest one hundred PRs.

D. FREQUENCY OF AWARDS

Awards under the LTI Plan are made annually, normally following the Company's Annual Meeting.

E. VESTING OF PRs

PRs vest three years after the date of issue to the extent performance criteria have been met.

F. EXERCISE OF PRS

Vested PRs may be exercised up to seven years from the date of grant.

G. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

The performance criteria for the vesting of PRs are based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) over the three- year performance period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022.

To determine the number of awards vesting, the Company's TSR over the performance period will be ranked as follows:

  1. as regards one third of the award, against the TSR of each of the constituents of the S&P/ASX50 Index (excluding property trusts and non-standard listings) as at the commencement of the three-year performance period; and
  2. as regards one third of the award, against the TSR of each of the constituents of the S&P Global 1200 Energy Index at the commencement of the three-year performance period. TSR outcomes for this part of the award are measured in a US dollar base for Oil Search and each constituent company; and
  3. as regards the final third of the award, against the
    TSR of each of the constituents of the S&P Global 1200 Energy Index at the commencement of the three-year performance period. TSR outcomes for this part of the award are measured in the local currency of the country of primary listing for Oil Search and each constituent company.

The intention of measuring outcomes against the S&P Global 1200 Energy Index at ii. in a common currency (USD) and iii. in the local currency of the country of primary listing (which for Oil Search is Australia) is to moderate the impact of foreign currency movements on the outcome. This increases executives' perceived value of the long-term incentives by de-emphasising the importance of foreign currency movements on the outcome, as such movements are beyond the control of executives.

4

2 0 2 0 N O T I C E O F M E E T I N G

If, in regard to each part of the award described in i., ii., or iii. above, the Company's TSR performance is:

  • below median, that is, the 50th percentile, the number of PRs comprising that part of the award that vest will be zero;
  • at median, the number of PRs that vest will be 50% of the total number of PRs comprised in that part of the award;
  • greater than median and less than the 75th percentile, the number of PRs that vest will increase on a straight- line basis from 50% to 100% of the total number of PRs comprised in that part of the award; or
  • equal to or greater than the 75th percentile, the number of PRs that vest will be 100% of the total number of PRs comprised in that part of the award.

The Board retains discretion to allow vesting of all PRs and to waive any restrictions in the event of a change of control or de-merger of the Company.

H. LAPSING OF PRs

PRs that do not vest following assessment of the performance criteria lapse immediately.

Generally, unvested PRs will not lapse on cessation of employment, unless the Board determines otherwise, which may include circumstances such as resignation, misconduct, or dismissal for cause, or some other reason deemed to have been a breach of the participant's obligations to the Oil Search Group.

  1. MANAGEMENT OF THE LTI PLAN AND OTHER GENERAL TERMS

The LTI Plan is administered by the Board.

The LTI Plan rules provide flexibility to allow the use of newly awarded or existing shares (for example through purchase on- market) to satisfy awards under the LTI Plan.

PRs do not have voting rights. Participants do not receive dividends on unvested PRs.

The Board may engage third party share managers to assist with the administration of the LTI Plan.

  1. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED The aggregate number of shares and shares subject to outstanding rights (that is, rights that have not yet been exercised and that have not lapsed) that have been awarded under all of Oil Search's equity incentive plans will not exceed 5% of Oil Search's issued share capital.

RESOLUTION 3 - NON - EXECUTIVE DIREC TOR SHARE ACQUISITION PL AN AND

M A XIMUM AWARDS UNDER THAT PL AN

Resolution 3 of the Special Business deals with approval of the NED Share Plan and grants of NED Rights to nonexecutive directors (NEDs) under the NED Share Plan for the next three years.

In February 2020, the Company introduced the NED Share Plan to facilitate share ownership for NEDs. The NED Share Plan will allow NEDs to acquire NED Rights to Oil Search shares by electing to forego a portion (or all) of their cash director fees. Each director will elect the proportion of fees to be foregone annually in advance of the applicable fees accruing.

The NED Share Plan allows greater flexibility for NEDs to acquire equity in the Company through a pre-tax fee sacrifice plan. The NED Share Plan recognises that NEDs can often be limited in their ability to purchase shares in the Company at a point in time as a result of the operation of Australian insider trading laws and reputational considerations.

The Board expects that the NED Share Plan will be utilised to assist NEDs to meet the terms of the Minimum Shareholding Policy. The minimum shareholding requirement is a fixed number of shares reviewed from time to time by the Board. The Minimum Shareholding Policy is available on Oil Search website and is currently:

BY THIS POLICY

Chairman of the Board

75,000

Other NEDs

25,000

6

2 0 2 0 N O T I C E O F M E E T I N G

  1. HOW DOES THE NED SHARE PLAN OPERATE? NEDs may voluntarily elect to sacrifice a portion or all of their pre-tax NED fees to acquire NED Rights to receive Oil Search shares in the Company. Elections are made on an annual basis, following the release of the full year results, and this election is binding for the duration of that year. NED Rights are allocated twice a year based on the fees sacrificed in that half and vest and convert into ordinary shares in the following trading window, subject to compliance with the Company's Share Trading Policy.
  2. HOW IS THE NUMBER OF NED RIGHTS ALLOCATED DETERMINED?

The number of NED Rights that a NED will receive is calculated in accordance with the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole NED Right):

NUMBER OF NED RIGHTS =

(Value of NED fees sacrificed ($) for the relevant period)

(VWAP per NED Right)

The VWAP per NED Right is the volume weighted average market price of Oil Search's shares over five trading days commencing the day after the announcement of full-year results or half year results.

Shares to be allocated on vesting of the NED Rights are sourced on-market or issued and held by the Oil Search Limited Employee Share Trust (Trust).

  1. WHAT ARE THE KEY TERMS OF THE NED RIGHTS? A summary of the key terms of the NED Rights is set out below. Each NED Right is a conditional right to acquire one Oil Search share. They do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting.

NED Rights have no performance criteria. On vesting, NED Rights convert into Restricted Shares for a Restriction Period of a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 15 years (as elected by the NED). The Restriction Period will end early if the NED retires from the Board before the end of the elected Restricted Period.

The NED Rights vest and are automatically exercised into Restricted Shares in the first trading window following the grant of the NED Rights. This will typically be up to 6 months after they have been granted.

D. RESTRICTED SHARES

Each Restricted Share is one Oil Search share, subject to disposal restrictions. During the Restriction Period these shares are held by the Trust on behalf of the NED. Restricted Shares carry the same dividend, voting and other rights as ordinary shares. Restricted Shares will be subject to the Restriction Period until the earlier of the NED retiring from the Board, the end of the Restriction Period, or another event determined by the Board. All of the Restricted Shares will be released from the disposal restriction at that time. NED Rights can convert into unrestricted shares in some circumstances, for example

if the NED retires from the Board after NED Rights have been granted but before the Rights are exercised into shares. In this case, normally a pro-rata number of NED Rights would vest and automatically be exercised into shares based on the quantum of director fees sacrificed over the relevant period until the time the NED retired from the Board. NEDs are subject to the Company's Share Trading Policy and insider trading laws.

  1. FURTHER INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 AND 10.15
  • The NEDs entitled to participate in the NED Plan are Mr RJ Lee, Dr BS Al Katheeri, Sir KG Constantinou, Ms SM Cunningham, Dr EJ Doyle, Ms FE Harris, Dr AJ Kantsler and Sir MP Togolo.
  • Only NEDs can participate in the NED Share Plan.
  • The Company will seek further approval if it intends for any other NED to participate in the NED Share Plan.
  • Details of any securities issued under the NED Share Plan will be published in the Company's Annual Report relating the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under listing rule 10.14.
  • Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in and issue of securities under the NED Share Plan after this resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under the rule.
  • The maximum number of NED Rights that could be allocated in the next three years cannot be calculated because it is subject to the Oil Search share price. The maximum potential value of NED Rights that could be allocated annually under the NED Share Plan is equal to AUD$3 million (which is the shareholder-approved NED fee cap). The actual value of NED Rights that will be allocated will be lower, because the level of NED fees is below the shareholder-approved fee cap, and not all directors will sacrifice all of their fees under the NED Share Plan.
  • There have been no NED Rights previously allocated to NEDs under the NED Share Plan. The Oil Search shares allocated on vesting of these rights are intended to be sourced on-market.
  • No loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the allocation of NED Rights under the NED Share Plan.
  • NED Rights will be allocated no later than three years after the date of the Meeting.
  • The fee arrangements for each NED as disclosed in the 2019 Remuneration Report are as follows.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certifi ed photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
