THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt as to what action to take, you should consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other appropriate independent professional adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended. If you have sold or otherwise transferred all your shares in Coro Energy plc, please forward this document to the person through whom the sale or transfer was effected, for transmission to the purchaser or transferee.

You will not have received a hard copy proxy form for the 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in the post. You can instead submit your proxy vote electronically by accessing the shareholder portal at www.signalshares.com, logging in and selecting the 'Vote Online Now' link. Full details of how to vote are set out in notes 2 and 3 in the Notes to the Notice of Meeting. Please submit your proxy vote so as to reach the Company's registrar no later than mid-day on Friday, 11 June 2021 or if you are a CREST member, by using the service provided by Euroclear in accordance with the timings prescribed by the CREST system.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE AGM IN LIGHT OF THE CONTINUING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ("COVID-19"):As a result of the current crisis of COVID-19and the UK Government's measures to restrict public gatherings, which includes banning gatherings of more than six people, please note that it will not be possible to hold the Company's 2021 AGM in its usual format. The Company has arranged the AGM with the maximum number of shareholders and directors allowed to ensure the AGM is quorate and as a result shareholders are advised not to attend and should they do so it is likely that they will not be permitted entry. The Company plans to hold a virtual investor event

in advance of the meeting to enable shareholders to ask any questions that they may have prior to submitting their proxy, details of this and how to submit questions will be notified to shareholders via RNS and posted on the Company's website nearer the time. Should Government restrictions change so as to impact the format of the AGM the Company will advise shareholders via the regulatory news service and the Company's website.

Shareholders are therefore requested not to attend the meeting in person and instead are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy vote, appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to ensure that their votes are registered.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association (the "Articles"), whilst submission of a proxy vote or the using of the CREST Proxy Voting Service (as applicable) would not ordinarily preclude shareholders from attending, speaking and voting in person at the AGM, shareholders are reminded that to attend in person would currently breach the Government's measures in relation to COVID-19 as summarised above. Voting will take place on a show of hands as usual in accordance with the Company's Articles, however, if the Company is of the view that this does not reflect the proxy votes, the Chairman will direct voting to be by poll, again in accordance with the Company's Articles.

NOTES:

  1. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, the Company specifies that in order to have the right to attend and vote at the AGM (and also for the purpose of determining how many votes a person entitled to attend and vote may cast), a person must be entered on the register of members of the Company no later than close of business on the day that is two days before the time for holding the meeting or any adjournment of it (excluding non-working days). Changes to entries on the register of members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting. References in these Notes to 'attend' should however be construed in light of the COVID-19 restrictions, as summarised in the Notice of AGM, which will restrict physical attendance at the AGM in this case.
  2. Only holders of ordinary shares are entitled to attend and vote at this meeting.
    A member is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, to speak and to vote at the AGM. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by him. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
    You will not have received a hard copy proxy form for the 2021 AGM in the post. You can instead submit your proxy vote electronically by accessing the shareholder portal at www.signalshares.com, logging in and selecting the 'Vote Online Now' link. You will require your username and password in order to log in and vote. If you have forgotten your username or password you can request a reminder via the shareholder portal. If you have not previously registered to use the portal you will require your investor code ('IVC') which can be found on your share certificate. Proxy votes should be submitted as early as possible and, in any event, no later than 48 hours before the time for the holding of the meeting or any adjournment of it (excluding non-working days).
    You may request a hard copy proxy form directly from the Company's registrars, Link Group, by emailing enquiries@linkgroup.co.uk or by post at Link Group, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL. To be valid, any hard copy proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be received by post or (during normal business hours only) by hand at the Company's registrars, Link Group, 10th Floor, Central Square,
    29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL no later than 48 hours before the time for the holding of the meeting or any adjournment of it.
    If you are a CREST member, see note 3 below.
  3. Alternatively, if you are a member of CREST, you may register the appointment of a proxy by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. Further details are contained below.
    CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures, and to the address, described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST) subject to the provisions of the Articles. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
    In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID: RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the notice of the AGM. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

  1. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. As with proxies, it will not be possible for corporate representatives of shareholders to attend the AGM in light of the COVID-19 restrictions.
  2. Any member attending the AGM (subject to the restrictions on attend) has the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
  3. As at 27 April 2021 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) the Company's issued share capital consists of 2,111,622,173 ordinary shares of 0.1p each, carrying one vote each. No shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at that date are 2,111,622,173.
  4. You may not use any electronic address (within the meaning of section 333(4) of the 2006 Act) provided in this Notice of Meeting (or in any related documents including the proxy form) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
