Director Changes

EnQuest PLC ('EnQuest') is delighted to announce the appointment of Rosalind Kainyah MBE to the Board of Directors with effect from 30 May 2024, subject to shareholder vote at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') on that date. It also reconfirms, as announced on 7 December 2023, that Jonathan Copus, Chief Financial Officer, will be recommended for election to the Board as an Executive Director at the AGM.

EnQuest also announces that Liv Monica Stubholt and Rani Koya have notified the Board of their intention to step down as Non-Executive Directors at the Company's AGM. Liv Monica has served a full three-year term of office at EnQuest and wishes to focus on her Norwegian portfolio, while Rani wishes to focus on other commitments.  

In addition, Executive Director and CEO of Veri Energy, Salman Malik, will be stepping down from the EnQuest Board to devote his time to Veri Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of EnQuest. Veri Energy intends to leverage EnQuest's capabilities to progress decarbonisation and new energy projects at scale, including carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen, and electrification through renewable power at the Sullom Voe Terminal, on Shetland.

The Board is seeking to appoint a further Non-Executive Director and will provide an update when appropriate.
