AGM update
Ahead of Gulf Keystone's Annual General Meeting on 18 June 2021,
the Company is announcing the following information.
Total voting rights
At the close of business on 8 June 2021, Gulf Keystone had
213,731,117 common shares of $1.00 each in issue, none of which
were held in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights
in the Company was 213,731,117.
This follows the exercise on 4 June 2021 by Mr Sami Zouari, Gulf
Keystone's former CFO, of all his vested nil-cost options under the
2016 Value Creation Plan, resulting in the issuance of 861,162 new
common shares after satisfaction of the tax liability arising upon
exercise.
The figure of 213,731,117 may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, Gulf Keystone under the UK Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Dividend per share
Based on the total voting rights figure, the $25 million annual
dividend proposed at the AGM results in a dividend per share of
11.70 cents per common share, while the proposed $25 million
special dividend also results in a dividend per share of 11.70
cents per common share.
Board Committee update
Garrett Soden, a non-independent Non-Executive Director, has
stepped down as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee with
immediate effect to conform to proxy advisor corporate governance
guidelines requiring all members of the Audit and Risk Committee to
be independent. The Committee will now comprise Martin Angle and
Kimberley Wood, both independent Non-Executive Directors.

connect to the AGM video conference at 10am CET on 18 June 2021 are
