#### Chairman’s introduction

#### Delivering

#### at scale

![]()

#### he theme of our 2025 IntegratedAnnual Report is ‘delivering

T

at scale’ and in the following pages we will update you on the

transformation we have achieved since we acquired Mobil

Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU) and its offshore assets

late in 2024.

In our 2025 Capital Markets Day we laid out a five-year roadmap

that clearly outlined our ambitions for our enlarged business. Key

among our targets and aims were; to invest up to $3 billion over the

next five years developing our assets;  this investment aims to

increase Group working interest production to two hundred

thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (200 kboepd); generate

a significant uplift in after-tax cashflow from operations to $5-$6

billion and return at least $1 billion in dividends to shareholders.

These targets represent, on average, a tripling of what we

delivered between 2020 - 2024, reflecting the scale of growth and

value creation we aim to deliver.

As our business grows and we produce more oil and gas, our role in

creating Nigeria’s future prosperity becomes ever more important.

We are fully committed to driving this prosperity by providing

reliable, affordable and sustainable energy from Nigerian assets,

owned and operated by Nigerians and supported by local

communities who share in our success. By working together, we

will achieve meaningful improvements in Nigeria’s social and

economic development.

This will help to diversify the country away from its reliance on oil

and gas and drive the development of manufacturing and services

sectors that harness the naturally entrepreneurial spirit of the

Nigerian people, making the country a more attractive place for

global capital to invest.

## Energising

## Nigeria and beyond

#### Nigeria’s energy story

#### is one of vast potential.

Abundant resources, a growing population and rising industrial demand. Yet energy access remains limited,

holding back economic progress and

#### Chairman’s

#### Statement

Mr Udoma Udo Udoma, CON

Independent Non-Executive Chairman

The acquisition, which boosted our working interest(WI)

production from 52,947 boepd in 2024 to 131,506 boepd in 2025,

has positioned Seplat Energy as a major energy producer in an

industry that is itself experiencing significant transformation.

Nigeria’s national energy resources are returning to local

ownership as international oil companies divest assets and even

exit the Nigerian market altogether.

The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), following an extended legislative

process, is creating a more favourable business environment in

which Nigeria’s energy producers are benefiting from the renewed

enthusiasm of international investors as they see stability and

returns improving.

At the same time, that focus on returns is driving many

international energy producers to scale back their ambitions for

net zero operations and a greater contribution from renewables.

The African context

At Seplat Energy, we believe the world as a whole must retain a

strong commitment to reducing global emissions.The science of

climate change is both compelling and concerning, but we are

faced with the realities of the African experience. Living standards

are low because energy access is poor, imported energy is

expensive, and far too many on our continent are forced to cook

with firewood whose collection and combustion is time

consuming and damaging for both people and planet.

In the context of Africa, our belief is that ‘sustainability’ must focus

less on our emissions, which are low and more on how we can

develop Africa’s natural resources to provide a decent living for

more than a billion young Africans today and the one billion

children they will raise between now and 2050.

Our national duty

The pressures facing us are both immediate and long-term.

Nigeria’s budget for 2025 was based upon the country producing

2.06 million barrels of oil a day at an average of $75 per barrel, but

the country’s actual output of 1,54 million barrels at an average $72

per barrel has resulted in a shortfall in a country that relies heavily

Distinguished shareholders,

#### I am delighted to present Seplat

#### Energy’s Integrated Annual Report and Accounts for the 2025 financial year, as well as the accompanying

#### Social Performance Report.

#### Together, these reports deliver a comprehensive account of our performance in what was a momentous and transformational

#### year, as we integrated the offshore assets we acquired from

on oil revenues to fund its immediate budgetary needs and its

longer-term plans for development and growth. The budget for

2026 assumes 1.86 million barrels a day at the lower price of $60,

though recent events in the Middle East have resulted in higher

crude oil prices so far this year.

What is clear however, is that Nigeria must focus on increasing oil

revenues to fund its immediate needs, and diversify its economy

to provide longer-term growth and economic prosperity. We

believe that increasing access to affordable and reliable energy will

be the key to this.

Therefore, as Nigeria’s leading independent producer of oil, and a

key partner of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC)

Limited and the Federal Government, I believe we have a duty to

increase production of both oil and gas in support of Nigeria’s

economic development.

Our plans for the future

To this end, your Board of Directors and I have tasked the

Company with increasing production to at least 200 kboepd by

2030 (500 kboepd joint venture) and we have approved up to $3

billion of capital investment over the next five years ($6.6 billion JV)

to make it happen.

Board changes

During 2025, there were a number of changes to our Board

that I believe reflect the exemplary quality of governance at

Seplat Energy.

On 28 April, Mr Bello Rabiu, Senior Independent Non-

Executive Director, and Mr Babs Omotowa, Independent

Non-Executive Director, announced that they were resigning

from our Board in order to take up positions on the Board of

NNPC Limited – Nigeria’s national oil company and our

operating partner across numerous assets.

Their calling to such prestigious and important Board

positions reflects the high esteem in which they are held in

Nigeria’s energy industry. It is also a great reflection on Seplat

Energy that Directors of such high regard were serving on our

Board beforehand. I thank them for their meritorious service

to Seplat Energy and am confident their wisdom and

guidance will prove invaluable to NNPC Limited as it enters a

new and exciting phase of its existence.

As announced on 25 April, Mrs Bashirat Odunewu succeeded

Mr Bello Rabiu as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director

and we are grateful for the wise counsel she provides in this

role.

Following the departures of Mr Rabiu and Mr Omotowa in

April, and in accordance with our Board of Directors’

Succession Plan, we embarked on the recruitment of new

Independent Non-Executive Directors. In December, following

a rigorous selection process, we announced the appointment

of Mr Larry Ephraim Attah, a highly respected business leader

with nearly four decades of corporate experience across

different sectors of Nigerian industry, and we welcome the

diversity of experience he brings to our Board.

At the same time, we announced the appointment of Engr.

Saidu Aliyu Mohammed, a seasoned energy industry

executive with more than 37 years of experience in the oil and

gas industry, specialising in natural gas development,

commercialisation, and infrastructure. He had previously

served as Group Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer,

Gas & Power Directorate at the NNPC, where he provided

strategic leadership for major gas projects and policy

frameworks, including the Gas Master Plan, Gas Network

Code, and contributions to the PIA.

However, before he could take up his position on our Board,

Engr. Mohammed was asked by Nigeria’s government to

become Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and

Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). As a

result, Engr. Mohammed withdrew his acceptance of the

appointment to our Board. We congratulate Engr. Mohammed

on his appointment to this important and strategic role and

are grateful that he was prepared to join our Board before

receiving such a distinguished national calling.

In January 2026, after the year-end, we announced that one

of our founding shareholders, Maurel & Prom, had sold its

entire 20.07% holding to Heirs Energies Limited and Heirs

Holdings Limited. As a result, Olivier De Langavant resigned as

Non-Executive Director on 22 January. We are grateful for his

support and service during his tenure. On the same day, Tony

O. Elumelu CFR, the Founder and Chairman of Heirs Holdings,

joined the Board as Non-Executive Director. We are delighted

that such a distinguished entrepreneur and philanthropist will

bring his experience and influence to our Company.

Dividend commitments

At the same time, we have committed to return at least $1 billion in

dividends to you, our shareholders, over the same five-year period

from 2026 to 2030.

For the 2025 financial year, you have already received USD 16.7

cents per share in dividends in the first nine months of the year,

and we are seeking shareholder approval for a final dividend of

USD 8.3 cents per share, bringing the year’s total to USD 25.0

cents per share, the highest we have ever returned.

Our five priorities

The theme of this Annual Report is Delivering at Scale – a goal we

outlined at the Capital Markets Day we held in September 2025.

Shortly afterwards, in November, I addressed our newly combined

Leadership Team and urged them to focus on five areas essential

to the successful delivery of the 200 kboepd target.

Our first task was to complete the integration of the acquired

Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU) assets, combining our

Onshore and Offshore businesses, their people, leadership teams

and systems, to create a single, integrated company by the end of

2025. I am pleased to report that we accomplished this goal,

starting 2026 as a formidable new organisation with a storied

heritage and an exciting future that we are working together to

achieve.

Our second priority is to deliver the 200 kboepd target by focusing

on high-return projects such as wells restoration, disciplined

capital allocation, the flawless execution of our drilling programme

and a constant focus on safety and asset integrity.

Thirdly, we must foster a high-performance working environment

across the united organisation to ensure we attract, retain and

develop the talent we need to deliver the ambitious goals we have

set. Our Offshore staff have been trained to a very high standard

by one of the world’s largest energy producers, but as these oil and

gas majors divest Nigerian assets, the maintenance of those high

standards becomes the responsibility of local companies like ours.

Fourthly, we must enhance risk and reputation management

because with our scale and growing footprint, the risks we face

will become more complex, with potentially more significant

impact on our reputation. Therefore, we must focus on security,

environmental protection and high standards of compliance in our

operations, while continuing high levels of engagement with our

host communities in order to maintain our social licence to operate.

Finally, we must continue to exercise fiscal discipline, with a priority

on cost control, zero tolerance for waste and a focus on

maximising synergies from the merger. This is essential if we are to

maintain our strong balance sheet and deliver the $1 billion in

cumulative dividends we are targeting. Shareholders expect

predictable returns, and disciplined execution is how we will meet

and exceed those expectations.

A bright future

So, to all our stakeholders, let me assure you of this: our vision of

growth is set, our resources are secured and we are fully focused

on execution. With your support and our endeavour, we will

transform our great potential into strong and sustainable success

that propels us to our destiny as an African energy champion.

#### Chief Executive

#### Officer’s Q&A

#### Delivering at scale

2025 was a year of delivering at scale. In addition to delivering key projects in our existing Onshore

business, we completed the game- changing acquisition of MPNU, the largest transaction in our history,

#### which adds significant scale and attractive low-cost development potential.

Roger Thompson Brown

Chief Executive Officer

#### What was the highlight of Seplat

#### Energy’s year?

It was proving that we could scale up the business successfully,

not just through the acquisition of the Offshore business, but also

from our success in increasing production from a significant

number of its locked-in wells. This has transformed us into a major

African energy producer, significantly increasing our volumes and

diversifying our business with offshore operations supported by

more secure export infrastructure that we control.

It has added a significant long-term reserves base that we can

develop at relatively low cost, giving our business sector leading

duration. As well, it has provided near-term, short-cycle

opportunities, driving quick and inexpensive returns. Most

importantly, from a shareholder perspective, we achieved all this

with a combination of cash we already had, debt we can

comfortably manage and no dilution of equity share capital.

In the national context, it has brought significant Nigerian assets

fully into Nigerian control and as a partner to the NNPC Limited, we

have a responsibility to develop these assets for the benefit of

Nigeria and its growing population.

#### How challenging was it to integrate the two businesses?

Having acquired MPNU late in 2024, our focus in 2025 was to

integrate the company with our existing business to create a

strong and unified organisation for the future. We achieved this by

focusing on leadership, people, systems and on creating a shared

culture of One Seplat. As our Chairman has already noted, we ran

a highly successful integration programme and started 2026 as a

single, unified organisation that we all believe has an exciting future

as a major African energy producer.

Obviously, the acquisition has brought in new skillsets and

responsibilities as a result of the operations and infrastructure

we’ve taken on, such as export and terminal facilities and

additional gas processing capabilities. This diversifies our skills

base and positions us well for a future in which we’re increasing

production through infrastructure we control.

How were you able to deliver organic

growth from the offshore assets you

acquired?

Beyond the focus on safety, asset integrity and reliability, our

attention was on quick wins, increasing production by rehabilitating

offshore wells that had been shut-in for some time. These low-

cost interventions resulted in the addition of nearly 49 kboepd

gross production capacity from the 49 wells we brought back into

operation. Obviously, we started with the wells we judged would

be the most cost effective and impactful to bring back into

production, and that is what we delivered, all for a gross JV cost of

just $60 million.

To put that into context, in 2023, before we acquired MPNU, Seplat

was producing slightly less than 48 kboepd (WI), so our wells

restoration programme effectively added a company’s worth of

production for just a $60 million investment, and I think this

demonstrates exceptional shareholder value creation.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Overall, with the addition of the Offshore wells, we increased

production by 148% from 52,947 boepd to 131,506 boepd made

up of 97,784 bopd liquids, and 33,722 boepd gas. If you look at our

Onshore and Offshore operations in isolation, Onshore production

rose by 14% from 48,618 boepd to 55,483 boepd (WI), reflecting

significant growth on the Western Assets. The wells rehabilitation

programme I’ve already mentioned, supported an Offshore

production increase of 9% on a pro-forma basis to

76,023 boepd (WI).

Just as importantly, we’ve maintained an excellent safety record as

a much larger company, recording just one Lost Time Injury (LTI) in

2025. Since that regrettable incident, we’ve now achieved around

12 million hours without an LTI.

Looking at our environmental performance, we’ve reduced

Onshore CO2 emissions by 24% to 24.3 kgCO2/boe, and I’m

pleased to report that we finally completed our end of routine

flaring projects in our Onshore operations, a major project focus

for us since 2021.

#### How has all of this transformed

#### Seplat’s finances?

The increase in scale we gained from the Offshore assets was

reflected in a 144% increase in our revenues, from $1,116 million to

$2,726 million, with adjusted EBITDA increasing from $539 million

to $1,275 million. Post-tax operating cashflow increased by 276%

from $310 million to $1,166 million, with net debt falling from $898

million to $673 million, representing just 0.53x adjusted EBITDA.

With $332 million cash at bank, it is clear we have built a ‘fortress’

balance sheet, thanks to our strong performance and prudent

approach to financial management. This was demonstrated in

March 2025, when we successfully raised $650 million in 9.125%

senior notes due in 2030, to refinance outstanding debt due in

2026. The offering was strongly oversubscribed, despite

challenging market conditions and global uncertainty around tariffs

and I am pleased to report that the offering, our third since 2018,

was both rated above and priced inside the Nigerian sovereign for

the first time, which is a testament to our strong reputation in

public credit markets. With net debt of $673 million (gross debt

$1.0 billion) and EBITDA of $1.275 billion our net debt to trailing 12-

month EBITDA ratio is 0.53x, which is a very healthy ratio to have,

and one that will reinforce investor confidence.

#### What are Seplat’s plans through to 2030?

We believe that we have a business plan that can deliver an

exciting total shareholder return story. We are targeting capital

growth through production, as we increase to our 200 kboepd

target (~500 kboepd JV) and dividend growth as we linked cash

generation growth to increase distributions to shareholders.

This will underpin our ambitions laid out in our Capital Markets Day

in September, to invest up to $3 billion (~$7.0 billion JV) in achieving

the production target, deliver cumulative operating cashflow of

$5-6 billion and return a cumulative $1 billion in dividends to

shareholders over the same period. This plan is fully covered by

internal cashflows, which means we will deliver the plan within a

wrapper of continued financial strength.

We’ve got a huge resource base to develop, and we’ll achieve this

by drilling 120-150 wells over the next five years and increasing

production of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), condensates

and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). At the same time, we’ll focus on

asset integrity and operational efficiency to ensure that production

is as cost-effective as it can be, with zero compromises on safety

or environmental care. Now we’ve ended routine flaring in our

Onshore operations, we will focus on achieving the same offshore.

Operating Context

#### Understanding our market

Our operating environment is constantly changing, driven by regulatory

developments as well as by both global and domestic economic events. As a result,

we constantly monitor our market landscape and adapt our approach to business

accordingly, to ensure we continue to maximise positive impacts for our stakeholders.

![Global Economy.jpg]()

Global economy

![OPEC Policies.jpg]()

Key trend: Economic

fragmentation

Driver:

The global economy was

characterised by increased trade

protectionism, geopolitical

tensions, and a shift towards

deglobalisation. The early part of

the year saw a significant surge

in trade tensions, particularly

between the US and China. In addition, the economy was shaped

by robust growth while inflation was broadly downward trending,

alongside dovish monetary policy.

Our response:

As part of our comprehensive strategic framework, we continue to

examine global economic themes shaping the crude oil market.

Our operations are heavily export-dependent and subject to the

dynamics of global crude oil demand as economic activities

evolve. We remain confident that demand for our barrels will

remain strong, with significant room to grow production and boost

supply of our premium crude grade. We also continue to assess

how these narratives affect our hedging policies.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

OPEC+ policies

Key trend: Rising production

Driver:

The policy tone of the

Organization of Petroleum

Exporting Countries (OPEC+)

changed in 2025 as the cartel

rolled back the previous 2.2

MMbopd voluntary cuts. The

restoration of output

commenced in April 2025, with

OPEC expressing confidence in global economic fundamentals. It

also signified OPEC’s shift towards balancing market stability with

competition from non-OPEC producers.

Our response:

OPEC+’s policy tilt towards returning barrels to the market

underpinned bearish pressure on crude oil prices in 2025. As such,

we managed the risk through our hedging strategy of buying

deferred puts to protect against the downside risk in oil price.

However, the strategy of returning barrels to the market continues

to increase the headroom for us to grow production, particularly as

we enter a rapid growth phase in the next five years.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

Domestic economy

![Domestic Economy.jpg]()

![Oil price.jpg]()

Key trend: Recovery and stability

Driver:

The domestic macroeconomic

environment showed strong

signs of recovery in 2025 as key

macroeconomic variables

improved significantly during the

year. The domestic economy

was characterised by persistent

disinflation, robust economic

growth, a stronger currency, and improved foreign investment in

the country. That said, the recovery story has had a lagging impact

on consumer income and purchasing power.

Our response:

Improved macroeconomic conditions have been positive for the

business as declining rate of inflation as well as a stable exchange

rate has contributed to moderating operating cost per boe. We

continue to position our business to contribute to Nigeria’s growth

and the country’s journey towards becoming a trillion-dollar

economy.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

Oil price

Key trend: Bearish pressure

Driver:

Bearish momentum in oil prices

persisted in 2025 as average Brent

and West Texas Intermediate

(WTI) benchmarks were lower by

15% and 14% respectively, during

the year. OPEC+’s decision to

return volumes to the market,

record production from US and

China, demand concerns, and a weaker-than-expected impact of

sanctions on Russia combined to underpin lower oil prices in 2025.

Our response:

We have sustained our strategy of hedging the downside in oil

prices. We will continue to implement this hedging strategy for

2026. In addition, we implemented a business plan based on more

conservative pricing assumptions, which included sustained

investments in our gas processing capacity, where we benefit

from long-term contracts with mostly stable prices, provide a

good hedge. We also have the balance sheet strength to cope

with adverse oil price conditions while retaining flexibility to cut

capital expenditure to protect free cashflow generation if required.

Gas opportunity

![PIA.jpg]()

![Gas Opportunity.jpg]()

Key trend: Growing domestic

demand

Driver:

The gas opportunity in Nigeria is

reflected in the surging demand

for gas as a power source,

particularly for industries. In

addition, the country’s shift

towards thermal power

generation continues to reinforce

the target to maximise gas resources. For context, the

government has set a 12 Bscfd gas production target to be

achieved by 2030. This, in addition to the abundant gas reserves in

Nigeria, points to significant upside in gas investments in Nigeria.

Our response:

We continue to invest in expanding our gas processing capacity

as we seek to support Nigeria’s ambition to close the gas supply

gap, improve thermal energy generation, and strengthen the

country’s ability to export gas. This is evident in our five-year

business plan, where we plan to reach 1.0 Bscfd of gas production

by 2030. We also note that we achieved first gas on the Sapele

integrated gas plant (SIGP) in 2025, while first gas on ANOH was

achieved in 1Q 2026.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

Petroleum Industry Act

(PIA)

Key trend: Transition

Driver:

Collaboration between industry

players and regulators to achieve

a smooth conversion process to

the PIA regime garnered pace in

2025. Modalities around

operationalisation of the host

community fund,

decommissioning and abandonment fund, and acreage

delineation were established. As a result, transition to the PIA

regime for operators who elected to convert commenced in the

final days of 2025.

Our response:

We achieved conversion for our operated onshore assets in 2025,

effective 1st January 2026. We have also commenced discussions

with the regulator to execute the conversion process for our

Offshore assets, which we expect to complete at a faster pace.

We are positioned to maximise the benefits of the PIA regime

thanks to our corporate strategy of investing in assets to support

production growth.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

Gas flaring

![Gas Flaring.jpg]()

![Pipeline Security.jpg]()

Key trend: Climate security

Driver:

The oil and gas regulatory

environment continues to

implement measures to

encourage investments in gas

infrastructure to curb routine

flaring. Higher penalties for gas

flares, combined with improved

returns for gas production,

represent a major catalyst that is driving investment in gas

infrastructure. In addition, the adoption of sustainability strategies is

encouraging efforts to end routine flaring across the industry.

Our response:

We made significant progress towards ending routine flaring on

our operated onshore operations in 2025. During the year, we

commissioned several projects including the SIGP, Oben LPG

Project, SIPG LPG module and associated storage and loading

facilities. These projects were critical milestones that brought us

closer towards achieving our goal of ending operated onshore

assets routine flaring.

Alignment with our strategic priorities

Pipeline security

Key trend: Stability

Driver:

The Federal Government and

NNPC’s campaign against crude

oil theft delivered strong results in

2025, as pipeline losses were

maintained at cyclically low levels.

According to data from the

Nigerian Upstream Petroleum

Regulatory Commission (NUPRC),

industry average pipeline losses declined to a 16-year low of 9,600

bopd for January to July 2025. This has encouraged investment in

drilling activities, spurring production growth.

Our response:

Our operations have benefited significantly from reduced

vandalism on export routes across the country. Pipeline loss for

2025 on our onshore assets was 3.9%, maintaining the strong

performance of 2024 (3.4%) and well below the 2022 average of

12%. In addition, diversifying our operations to include shallow

water operations with a self-managed integrated network of

pipelines and export alternatives has helped to reduce the impact

of vandalism on third-party operated routes.

#### Nigeria’s economicresurgence is reshaping the opportunity for Seplat Energy

Nigeria’s macroeconomic fundamentals strengthened meaningfully in 2025,

marking a turning point after several years of volatility. For Seplat Energy,

this improving environment provides a strong platform to accelerate growth

as Nigeria’s risk profile improves and investor confidence increases.

Nigeria’s macroeconomic story

is back on track

After several challenging years, Nigeria’s economic story has

decisively turned a corner. In 2025, economic growth accelerated

to 3.87%, driven by a broad-based recovery across oil and gas,

services, agriculture and manufacturing sectors. This rebound

marks more than a cyclical upswing; it reflects the early impact of

structural reforms and renewed investor confidence.

At the heart of this recovery is the revitalisation of the oil and gas

sector with indigenous, local Independent companies assuming a

dominant role in upstream production. Higher crude production

has strengthened foreign exchange (FX) earnings, supported

external reserves and restored stability to the FX market. As FX

liquidity returned to the system, manufacturing activity improved

and business confidence began to recover.

Inflation, which had been a major headwind for households and

businesses alike, moderated meaningfully over the year, aided by

tighter monetary policy and a more stable currency environment.

Together, these shifts are creating a more predictable operating

landscape for companies and investors.

Looking ahead, the momentum is expected to continue. The IMF

forecasts further growth in 2026, supported by rising oil

production, expanding services sector activity and a gradual

recovery in manufacturing output. With rig activity increasing,

improved capital allocation from local independent companies

playing a more dominant role upstream, transitioning to PIA fiscal

regime, and pipeline security improving, Nigeria’s oil and gas sector

is entering a phase of sustained recovery, providing a stronger

foundation for long-term investment.

#### Security initiatives delivering results

A critical pillar of the oil and gas sector’s recovery has been the

significant improvement in security across key producing regions.

A co-ordinated combination of kinetic and non-kinetic strategies

has helped curb crude theft, vandalism and illegal refining, all of

which are long-standing challenges for the industry.

On the kinetic front, the NNPCL, in collaboration with dedicated

military units and security partners, intensified operations to

dismantle illegal refining sites and protect critical export

infrastructure. These efforts have disrupted organised theft

networks and restored confidence in key export routes.

On the non-kinetic front, NUPRC implemented a comprehensive

metering audit across upstream facilities, closing systemic

loopholes and improving production accountability. In addition, the

approval of 37 new crude oil evacuation routes has diversified

export options and reduced dependence on vulnerable corridors.

Indigenous oil companies have also adopted community-based

surveillance, fostering local partnerships to combat theft and

sabotage.

The impact of these initiatives has been significant. Pipeline losses

across the sector declined to their lowest level in 16 years in 2025.

For Seplat Energy, these improvements have translated into

tangible operational benefits, with pipeline losses now in low single

digits for two consecutive years, compared to mid double-digit

levels in prior periods. This marks a step change in reliability and

reinforces the improving risk profile of operating in Nigeria.

#### Playing a major role in Nigeria’s energy ambitions

Nigeria continues to prioritise the oil and gas sector as a

cornerstone of its economic development strategy. The industry is

viewed not only as a source of fiscal revenue and FX, but also as a

catalyst for industrialisation, job creation and energy security.

The government has set ambitious production targets of 2.0

MMbopd by 2027 and 3.0 MMbopd by 2030, including

condensates. In parallel, Nigeria is targeting gas production of 12.0

Bscfd by 2030 as it seeks to deepen domestic utilisation, support

power generation and reduce energy imports. These targets

underscore the strategic importance of companies with scale,

capability and capital to drive growth across both oil and gas.

Seplat Energy is strongly positioned to play a leading role

in delivering Nigeria’s energy ambitions. The Company

plans to allocate approximately 70% of its $3.0 billion five-

year capital programme to monetising oil resources

across its asset base. With robust liquid resources of 1,163

MMboe and plans to drill 120 to 150 new wells over the

next five years, Seplat is well-placed to contribute

meaningfully to national production targets.

In gas, Seplat’s strategic importance is equally compelling.

The Company plans to invest $500–$600 million over the

next five years to unlock its gas resources. With a

significant gas resource base estimated at 6,525 Bscf of

gas and four gas projects scheduled for commissioning

over the period, Seplat is building scale across the

domestic gas value chain.

These investments are expected to lift joint venture

installed gas processing capacity to 2.7 Bscf per day and

support joint venture gas production of 1.0 Bscf per day by

2030. As Nigeria intensifies its focus on gas-led growth,

Seplat is positioned as a key driver of the country’s energy

transition and industrial development.

Nigeria’s natural environment is a resource that future

generations must be able to enjoy, free of pollution,

environmental damage and the potentially disastrous

effects of global climate volatility. By leading Nigeria’s

transition to cleaner fuels such as natural gas and

renewable energy, we can help to ensure a healthy

natural environment for future generations, at the same

time securing our place in Nigeria’s future energy mix.

Shareholders

& providers

of capital

• Adjusted EBITDA of $1.27bn

• Post-tax CFFO $1.17bn

• USD 25 cents / share dividend ($140m paid in FY)

• Net debt $673m including $332m cash

• Paid $1,146m to Nigeria’s government in royalties,

taxes and levies

Long-term maximisation of returns will strengthen our

financial position, enabling us to invest more in the

development of Nigeria’s resources, pay more taxes and

royalties to government, reduce our debt burden and

increase returns to shareholders.

Joint venture

partners

Suppliers

& contractors

• 131.5 kboepd production across offshore and

onshore assets

• Wells restoration added 49 kboepd gross

production across 49 wells, for $60m cost

• Completed 11 onshore wells

• New EAP inlet gas exchanger boosts NGL

production, strengthening gas mix

• Continuing focus on asset integrity, reliability

Oil is essential for Nigeria’s economic development and

will remain so for several decades. Revenues from oil not

only fund the country’s day-to-day activities, but will also

be used to fund Nigeria’s transition to cleaner energies

such as natural gas and renewables, which will power

Nigeria long after its oil has depleted.

Host

communities

• Gas sales of 63 Bscf, up 54% on 2024

• Average daily WI production of 172 MMscfd,

supported by start of production at Sapele IGP,

new wells and higher Oben output

• ANOH delivered first gas in January 2026

Natural gas is Nigeria’s logical transition fuel and will be

essential for providing power to millions of Nigerians as

the country’s population grows. Even as renewables

increase in capacity, gas will continue to be essential for

overnight baseload, and its use in manufacturing products

such as fertiliser and cement is unlikely to be challenged

by green fuels for many decades, given its abundance

and low cost in Nigeria.

Customers

• Continued to monitor and assess business

opportunities in power and renewables.

Consolidation and integration of SEPNU was

prioritised in 2025

Nigeria’s abundant sunlight, wind and hydroelectric

resources make it an attractive place to generate

renewable energy that will power Nigeria’s future

prosperity decades from now. We will continue to seek

opportunities in this sector in line with our strategic goals.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

#### Overview: Laying the foundation for growth

At our 2025 Capital Markets Day (CMD), we presented our vision to build Seplat Energy into an ‘African Energy Champion’, laying out five-

year growth targets (2026-2030) in our roadmap including: investing working interest (WI) $2.5-3.0 billion (JV: $6.0-7.0 billion) in capex and

WI $3.5-4.0 billion in opex (JV: $8.0-9.0 billion) to grow WI production ~50% to 200 kboepd (JV: ~500 kboepd), which will generate

$5.0-6.0 billion in after-tax operating cash flow, supporting the Company’s ambition to return at least $1.0 billion to shareholders over the

five-year period.

In 2025, we set out to lay the foundation to prepare our business for this new growth phase. On our onshore assets, we completed our

End of Routine Flaring (EORF) projects and commenced zero-routine flaring operations on our Western Assets, completed the Petroleum

Industry Act (PIA) conversion, grew production to its highest level in recent memory and finalised processes for ANOH first gas, which was

achieved in January 2026. On our offshore assets, we prioritised investment in strategic maintenance and asset integrity activities. Our

offshore infrastructure is vast and interconnected; delivery of long-term value to shareholders through growth will be significantly

enhanced with improved reliability and uptime. In 2025, we completed the replacement inlet gas exchanger (IGE) at EAP, which is already

delivering a material increase in NGL recovery. We completed the contracting process for the first Jack-Up drilling rig, which is currently in

Nigeria, and set to start drilling from 3Q 2026. In addition, we made substantial progress towards completion of the first major gas growth

project, Oso-BRT phase 1, ahead of planned first gas in 3Q 2026.

#### Reserves and resources

In September 2025, the Company disclosed the results of the independent review of our offshore reserves and resources, which

upgraded the estimates for our offshore assets reflecting the Company’s long term business plan versus the acquisition case. During

2025, the majority of the offshore work programmes focused on maintenance and integrity activities as opposed to resource growth

activities, hence the Group’s audited 2P reserves, independently assessed by Ryder Scott Company, L.P.,  reduced from 1,043 MMboe at

the end of 2024 to 1,001 MMboe at the end of 2025, largely driven by production of 48.0 MMboe during the year.

Notable changes: OML 53 benefitted from new well activity for the first time since 2023, and the completion of ANOH now provides a

route to market for Ohaji gas, allowing it to be included in 2P reserves. The completion of Sapele Gas Plant supported the booking of NGL

reserves on the Western Asset. Offshore c.6 MMbbl, previously reported as NGL was reclassified to Oil & Condensate.

Working interest 2P reserves as of 1 January 2026

Liquid production volumes as measured at the LACT (Lease Automatic Custody Transfer) unit for OMLs 4, 38 and 41; OML 40 and OPL 283 flow station.

Gas conversion factor of 5.8 boe per scf.

Volumes stated are subject to reconciliation and may differ from sales volumes within the period.

In 2025, average daily working interest production for the Group increased 144% to  131,506 boepd (2024: 52,947 boepd), within our revised

production guidance for the year (130,000 - 140,000 boepd) despite lower production in 4Q 2025. Total crude & condensate production

increased by 226% to 35.7 MMbbls (2024: 11.0 MMbbls). Total gas produced during the period rose 54% to 62.8 Bscf (2024: 40.8 Bscf), while

NGLs production rose to 1.5 MMbbls (2024: 0.1 MMbbls). Aggregate production for the period rose 165% to 48.0 MMboe (2024: 18.1 MMboe).

On our onshore operations, average daily working interest production for 2025 was 55,483 boepd (2024: 48,618 boepd) a 14% increase.

The strong growth in onshore production was underpinned by an increase in gas production on OMLs 4, 38 and 41, following

commencement of operations at Sapele Integrated Gas Plant (SIGP) as well as improved efficiency from the Oben Gas Plant. Growth was

also delivered in liquids volumes on both Western and Eastern Assets, following successful well delivery and improved pipeline availability.

On our offshore assets, production performance was strong, delivering average daily working interest production of  76,023  boepd,

representing year-on-year growth of ~9% on a pro-forma basis. The strong production performance was aided by the idle well recovery

programme, and improved asset performance, offset by planned maintenance activities, declines on the non-operated A/K field and the

outage at Yoho.

Comparing 4Q 2025 with 3Q 2025, Group production declined 13% to 119,200  boepd (3Q 2025: 137,741 boepd). The decline in 4Q 2025

production was caused by, the loss of volumes due to the Yoho production platform incident and longer-than-planned ramp up of East

Area Project (EAP) platform to complete the IGE replacement, and associated maintenance activities performed concurrently on oil-

producing fields supported by EAP. As expected, the new IGE unit has provided significant benefit, with NGLs production rising 38% in 4Q

2025, compared to the prior 9M 2025 average, despite being offline for over one month in the quarter. NGL production continued to

improve during the final quarter of the year and as such we expect to see a material improvement in NGL production in 2026.

Operating Review continued

#### Seplat Offshore

Crude, condensates & NGLs production

In OMLs 67, 68, 70, and 104, working interest liquids production for

2025 was  64,586  bopd. As highlighted earlier, the robust liquids

production for the year was aided by the successful idle well

recovery programme which added gross volumes of 48.6 kbopd

in the year (more details in the next section). On a QoQ basis,

liquids production declined by 29% to 50,468 bopd in 4Q 2025,

from 70,502  bopd in 3Q 2025. The QoQ decline was due to the

shutdown of the Yoho production platform following the

September fire incident as well as the planned shutdown of the

EAP platform for the IGE replacement works. The EAP shutdown

window was also leveraged to execute integrity activity across

multiple fields, increasing deferments in the period.

Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) average daily working interest

production for 2025 was 4,074 bpd. On a QoQ basis, the positive

impact of the new IGE unit led to average daily working interest

production rising 42% to 5,085  bpd (3Q 2025: 3,661  bpd). We

continued to deliver Liquefied Petroleum Gas (‘LPG’) to the

domestic market from the Bonny River terminal, with a second

12,600 MT Butane cargo delivered in December.

The non-operated Amenam-Kpono (A/K) field contributed  666

bopd of liquids and 11.1 MMscf/d gas to average daily working

interest production in 2025, down 49% and 29% YoY respectively.

Idle well restoration programme

The idle well restoration programme, formed the cornerstone of

growth delivered offshore in 2025. We are pleased to report that

we successfully restored 49 idle wells (in line with our target) as

part of the 2025 programme. The 2025 programme was strongly

value-adding, delivering an additional 48.6 kbopd gross production

capacity (19.4 kbopd net working interest) during the year, at a

gross cost  of approximately $60 million. In 2026, we target

restoring an additional 50 wells in the next phase of the

programme. As outlined at the Capital Markets Day, our base

assumption is that production additions per well will decline as the

idle well portfolio matures.

EAP Inlet Gas Exchanger (IGE) replacement project

The major capex project for our offshore assets in 2025 was the

replacement of the Inlet Gas Exchange (IGE) unit on the East Area

Project (EAP) production area. On 2 December, 2025, we

announced the completion of the project. The work included load-

out, lifting, installation, tie-in, commissioning and start-up activities

which were executed during October and November. Overall,

work totalling over 2.2 million man hours was completed safely,

without incident.

Since the announcement, we are pleased to report that gross

NGLs production from the EAP complex has continued to improve,

with a peak daily rate of ~33 kbopd (~16.8 kbopd net working

interest) achieved in February 2026 following the injection of rich

wet gas from the Usari field, confirming the success of the IGE

replacement project.

Yoho production platform incident

In our 9M 2025 financial results, we communicated the fire incident

that occurred on the Yoho production platform on 27 September,

2025.  The fire was extinguished by the platform’s safety systems

which operated effectively with no injuries to personnel. The facility

was offline for repairs for all of 4Q 2025. The repair process

continues to advance, and we expect to re-commence

production from Yoho in 2Q 2026. Yoho was producing at a net

working interest rate of approximately 10 kbopd before the

incident.

Offshore drilling activities

In 4Q 2025, we executed the Letter of Intent for the first Jack-Up

drilling rig for the offshore business. The Shelf Drilling Victory rig is

contracted to the Company on a firm two-year contract,

commencing 3Q 2026. In 2026, we target completion of two new

infill wells, starting on the Oso field.

#### Seplat Onshore

Western Assets

In OMLs 4, 38, 41, working interest liquids production rose by 13%

to 16,921 bopd (2024: 14,992 bopd). The growth was aided by

good performance of new wells coming onstream which offset

decline and delivered growth. In addition, export route availability

remained strong during the period with the two export routes,

Amukpe-Escravos pipeline (AEP) and Trans Forcados pipeline

(TFP) achieving 92% and 88% uptime, respectively. Total

deferments on the asset declined to 16%  in 2025 (2024: 18%).

Elcrest

Average daily working interest production at OML 40 (inclusive of

Abiala Marginal Field) rose 3% to  11,831 bopd (2024: 11,506 bopd).

The  production growth reflects the impact of a full year of Abiala

production which contributed 1,670 bopd to Elcrest production in

2025. Production would have been higher save for the planned 21-

day third-party downtime by the line operator of the Trans

Escravos Pipeline (TEP) in 2Q 2025. Production from the asset has

recovered strongly in 3Q 2025, recording its strongest quarterly

production in 4Q 2025. However, total deferments for 2025

increased to 27% (2024: 13%). To mitigate the evacuation

constraints at Abiala, we have deployed additional 30,000 bbls

storage vessels and we have also commissioned a third-party

LACT unit to optimise injection into the TEP/FOT export route.

Eastern Assets

In OML 53, overall performance was strong, with average daily

working interest production increasing by 48% to  2,855 bopd in

2025, from  1,933 bopd in 2024, due to continuous availability of the

evacuation routes for the asset, principally the Trans Niger Pipeline

(‘TNP’). Total pipeline availability for the TNP-BOT evacuation route

for our Ohaji operations in 2025 was 87%, materially higher than

the 22% recorded in 2024. We continued to supply the

Waltersmith refinery during the quarter. Production from our Jisike

field continued to improve as the reliability of the Antan-Ebocha-

Brass terminal route was sustained through 2025. Uptime on the

route improved to 86% (2024: 55%).

In OPL 283, liquids production was stable, rising 3% to 1,591  bopd

in 2025 (2024: 1,547  bopd).

Onshore drilling activities

In 2025 we delivered 11 out of the planned 13 new onshore wells.

On our Western Assets, we delivered seven wells from the

planned nine-well drilling program. The wells delivered were

Sapele-39, Orogho-10, Orogho-11, Okporhuru-10, Oben-58,

Okporhuru-11, and Amukpe-6. The two uncompleted wells

(Oben-59 and Oben KOIX-02) now form part of the 2026 drilling

programme. Four of the completed wells are now onstream and

producing at a gross rate of 3,750 bopd and 33 MMscfd.

On our Eastern Assets, we delivered the planned two-well drilling

campaign as we completed OHS-10 in 2025 and OHS-11 in early

2026. Similarly, on Elcrest, we drilled two wells with Opuama-18

completed in 2025 and Opuama-19 in early 2026.

#### Midstream gas business performance

During the period, the Company produced 62.8 Bcf of gas,

representing a 54% increase on the 40.8 Bcf reported in 2024.

The average daily working interest gas production volumes

increased by 55% to 172.0 MMscfd, from 111.1  MMscfd in 2024. The

growth in Group gas production is reflective of the consolidation

business plus new gas wells coming onstream and sustained

production from the Sapele Gas Plant.

On our onshore assets, average daily working interest gas

production increased by 20% to  129.2  MMscfd (2024:  108.0

MMscfd). The increase was supported by commencement of

production at the Sapele gas plant, new gas wells coming

onstream, and continued strong production efficiency at the Oben

Gas Plant.

Average daily working interest gas production from our offshore

assets was  42.7 MMscfd in 2025, benefiting from improved export

pipeline availability and improvements in production efficiency.

Operating Review continued

Oso-BRT Gas Pipeline Capacity Upgrade project

Phase 1

Oso-BRT Gas Pipeline Capacity Upgrade project is one of the

major capital projects on our offshore operations. Upon

completion, the project will add 120 MMscfd of gas production

capacity to supply Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) from Oso. The

engineering design phase has reached completion and

procurement of long lead items have commenced. Onshore

fabrication is ongoing with the project expected to reach

completion in 3Q 2026. We are also pleased to report that

commercials and the Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) have been

firmed up with NLNG.

Sapele Integrated Gas Plant (SIGP)

SIGP delivered positive contributions to the Group in 2025.

Commercial operations were achieved on both Mechanical

Refrigeration supporting gas production which has steadily

improved through the year and is currently producing at 40-50

MMscfd gross, further aided by commissioning of the SAPCOM

power project.

Beyond the contribution to gas sales, SIGP contributes to reducing

our Scope 1 emissions, thus saving on gas flare penalties, and the

plant has added 7,000 bopd in gross condensates production

capacity (3,150 bopd net to Seplat) to our Western Assets liquids

production, supporting the booking of 2P reserves at YE25. In

addition, the plant now provides gas lift support for low pressure

wells in Ovhor and Sapele, further aiding liquids production.

The SIGP LPG module, which will further diversify our revenue

base, was anticipated to start up in 4Q 2025, however a

mechanical issue with two storage pumps has delayed

commencement of commercial operations. Expected start up has

been revised to mid-2026 .

ANOH Gas

AGPC continued its strong safety performance achieving a

cumulative total of 17.8 million man hours LTI free by the end of

2025.

As previously announced in January 2026, the ANOH project

achieved its first‑gas milestone, marking a significant strategic

achievement for both the Company and the country. Production

performance has been strong, both from the upstream wells and

the ANOH Gas Plant process trains. Since start up, stable daily flow

between 50-70 MMscf/d of specification quality gas has been

delivered to the Indorama Petrochemical Plant in Rivers State, and

we are pleased to announce that first revenues from gas sales

have been received by AGPC. At this time, condensate is being

produced into storage, with export via the Trans Niger Pipeline

(‘TNP’) due to commence shortly.

We remain on stand-by for gas supply to Nigeria LNG (‘NLNG’). All

mechanical, commercial and regulatory requirements have been

completed, as we await clearance to commence the flow of gas.

Separately, work has recommenced on the OB3 gas pipeline

project, with owner NGIC implementing a revised execution

strategy.

As announced in 3Q 2025, Vitol provided a 12-month $30 million

prepayment facility to AGPC at a cost of SOFR plus 10%. The

facility was drawn and utilised for work to deliver first gas and also

to meet interest payment obligations to the bank lenders.

#### Ending routine flaring

Reducing the carbon intensity of our operations is a key strategic focus for the Company. Seplat’s End of Routine Flaring (EORF) roadmap

includes investments across our facilities to minimise Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and improve overall energy efficiency. We

are pleased to report we officially ended routine flaring on our operated onshore operations in early 2026 following commencement of

commercial operations from the ANOH Gas Plant.

The carbon emissions intensity recorded on Seplat’s onshore operations for 2025 was 24.3 kg CO2/boe, 24% lower than the 32.1 kg CO2/

boe recorded in 2024. We note the progressive quarterly decline in carbon emissions intensity as we completed our EORF projects across

our assets through the year.

For 2025, our gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across our onshore operated assets was 899.7 ktCO2e, 37% lower than our 2020

baseline figure of 1,423.0 ktCO2e. The reduction in flared volumes had a positive impact of $9.0 million on profit before tax ($4.0 million

saved in gas flaring penalties and $5.0 million in gas sales) for our onshore operated assets. We anticipate further gains in 2026 as we

optimise operational activities with our EORF infrastructure, and given the impact of anticipated lower flared volumes at Ohaji.

| Offshore operated assets | kgCO2 /boe | 54.32 | 52.64 | 45.87 | 55.54 | 51.82 | 51.00 |

Carbon emissions intensity for our offshore assets was 51.8 kgCO2/boe in FY 2025. We continue to review the offshore flaring regime and

will communicate our framework to end routine flaring at a future date.

#### HSE performance

Across the Group, we continue to prioritise safe and responsible operations as part of delivering our strategy and growing our business. In

2025, staff and contractors across our operated onshore and offshore assets recorded a total of 34.1 million man hours worked.

However, as reported in our 3Q 2025 results, after achieving 29.1 million hours over nearly three years on our operated onshore assets, an

operating incident was recorded on 13 September at the Oben Gas Plant, resulting in a non-fatal injury to a site personnel. The

circumstances that led to the incident were investigated and necessary measures put in place to prevent future occurrence.

Post the LTI recorded in September, we recorded a total of 3.6 million man hours without LTI on our operated onshore assets and 7.9

million man hours on operated assets offshore. Across the Group’s operated assets, post the event at Oben, we achieved a total of 11.4

million man hours without an LTI.

\*3Q 2025, 4Q 2025 and FY 2025 data for the operated assets is from 13th September post recorded LTI at Oben.

In the period, across our Group operations, we recorded nine Tier-1 Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC) incidents, of which two were fire

incidents, five gas releases and two oil spills. Additionally, we recorded four Tier-2 LOPC incidents of which three were related to oil spills

and one was a gas release.

In 2025, we completed and officially received the ISO 45001 certificate. For ISO 14001, we completed the stage one audit in 4Q 2025 and

the stage 2 audit is now scheduled for 2Q 2026. Achieving ISO 14001 will ensure our Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are in line

with global best practices.

#### Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) implementation status

In December 2025, we announced the completion of the conversion of our operated onshore assets to the PIA fiscal regime replacing the

Petroleum Profit Tax regime. This relates to assets formerly held under OMLs 4, 38, 41 and 53. The PIA supports increased investment,

production growth, and improved operational efficiency, all aligned with our strategy. Seplat and its joint venture partners have now

completed all technical and regulatory requirements with the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). New

Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) and Petroleum Prospecting License (PPL) numbers have now been issued.

For our offshore assets, we have commenced engagements for PIA conversion with evaluations supporting elective conversion in 2027

ahead of the automatic conversion in 2031 (upon licence renewals). Engagements with key stakeholders are ongoing and we continue to

target completion of the conversion process by 2027 subject to regulatory approvals.

The Group’s 2025 result clearly evidences the first year of transformational change

seen post the MPNU acquisition. This is further supported by strong growth in onshore

activities. During the year we generated substantial cash flows, which were deployed

to enhance our balance sheet position, increase investments in our assets and deliver

record distributions to shareholders. In 2026, we continue to focus on growth as well

as optimising our financial position further as we implement the transition to PIA;

which was achieved for our onshore operated assets in 4Q 2025.

Revenue

Total revenue grew 144% YoY, to $2,725.9 million (N4,135 billion), from $1,116.2 million (N1,652 billion) in 2024, following a 185% increase in

crude liftings and 54% increase in gas sales, partially offset by average realised oil and gas prices, which fell 12% and 4% YoY respectively.

Of note, crude oil revenue contributed 91% of revenues in 2025 compared to 89% in 2024, reflecting the higher oil contribution from our

offshore operations, while gas and NGL contributed 7% and 2% respectively.

\*Overlift/underlift balance in FY 2025 comprised primarily of NGL underlift valued at $27 million.

YoY, across segments, crude oil revenue increased 151% as a result of 185% growth in liquids volume lifted, partially offset by lower realised

oil price which averaged $70.29/bbl in 2025 (FY 2024: $80.04/bbl.). Gas revenue rose 47% in the year, aided by higher sales volumes (54%

YoY) following the commencement of gas sales from the Sapele Integrated Gas Plant and consolidation of offshore gas sales.

In 4Q 2025, reported revenue declined 29% QoQ to $549.2 million (N833.1 billion). The decline was driven by lower crude oil liftings (down

27% QoQ), as a result of (i) the shutdown on the Yoho production platform which was offline for the quarter, (ii)higher turnaround

maintenance offshore with operations run parallel to the IGE replacement operations, and (iii)price, with our average realised oil price

declining 7% QoQ. Modestly lower QoQ NGL prices meant NGL revenue fell 10% QoQ, however this was offset by increased gas revenue,

where volumes grew 15%% QoQ.

The Group's average reconciliation loss factor rose slightly to 3.9% in 2025 (2024: 3.4%).

Note: that the 2025 numbers reflect the consolidated Group results, while for 2024, they reflect consolidation of 19 days of offshore

operations unless otherwise stated. The Group completed the final details of the acquisition of MPNU during the one-year measurement

period as permitted by IFRS 3 (Business combinations) and as a result recognised the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities.

Comparative figures for 2024 have been restated to align with final PPA valuation report, see Note 8.

Financial Review continued

Production costs, which includes expenses related to crude-handling fees, barging & trucking, and O&M expenses, amounted to $752.6

million (N1,142 billion) in 2025, 2024: $412.4 million(N610.2 billion). The increase, beyond the combination, was driven by the planned

substantial increase in O&M expenses on our offshore assets. These costs reflect our focus on carrying out necessary repairs and

maintenance designed to improve long term asset integrity and reliability that will lay a foundation underpinning our future growth

ambitions. For context, offshore production costs represented approximately 71% of Group production costs compared to 58% of Group

production volumes in the period.  On a QoQ basis, 4Q 2025 Group production costs were up 8% to $231.8 million (N351.7 billion) reflecting

the typical cycle of higher costs in the final quarter of the year, combined with higher O&M activities as we completed the replacement of

the IGE module on EAP.

On a per boe basis, 2025 unit production costs of $15.7/boe were above guidance ($14.0 - $15.0/boe), predominantly reflecting the impact

of 4Q 2025 production, which was below plan.

Non-production costs for 2025 increased by 204% to $1,068.7 million (N1,621.1 billion), comprising $475.3 million (N721.1 billion) in royalties

(2024: $146.0 million/N216.0 billion), $549.2 million (N833.1 billion) in depreciation, depletion, and amortisation (2024: $193.8 million/N286.7

billion), and regulatory fees/levies of $44.2 million (N66.0 billion) (2024: $11.6 million/N17.2 billion). The higher non-production costs reflects

the scale of the consolidated business. On a QoQ basis, non-production cost grew 74%, a function of a return to a normalised run-rate

following the one-time adjustment in 3Q 2025, following completion of the offshore Competent Person’s Report (CPR) which increased

offshore reserves.

2025 gross profit increased by 157% to $904.5 million (N1,372.3 billion) from $352.4 (N521.4 billion) million in 2024, reflecting the step-

change in scale of the business. On a sequential basis, 4Q 2025 gross profit declined 94% to $25.0 million(N37.9 billion) due to a

combination of lower crude oil liftings (down 27% QoQ), weaker realised crude oil price (down 7% QoQ), and higher production costs (up

8% QoQ).

General and administrative (G&A) expenses amounted to $249.5 million (N378.5 billion), a 71% growth from $145.7 million (N215.7 billion) in

2024, reflecting the impact of a bigger overall operations. G&A cost per boe for the Group declined 35.5% to $5.2/boe in FY 2025, from

$8.2/boe in 2024, reflecting the benefits of scale from our combined operations. 4Q 2025 G&A expenses rose 120% QoQ, which

represents a return to normalised operating levels. This follows an atypically low G&A reporting in 3Q 2025 due to cost reconciliation and

integrations of our offshore and onshore reporting structures.

Other income includes an underlift adjustment of $26.9 million (N40.8 billion) in 2025, $7.7 million (N11.7 billion) from tariff income from third-

party usage of our pipelines and $18.6 million (N28.3 billion) from realised gain on foreign exchange and $4.1 million (N6.2 billion) from other

income sources like JV billing interest and finance fees.

Overall, we reported operating profit of $675.2 million (N1,024.6 billion),margin of 24.8% for 2025, from $326.7 million (N483.4 billion),margin

of 29.3% in 2024. On a QoQ basis, we report an operating loss of $35.8 million (N54.3 billion) due to the factors outlined above.

After adjusting for non-cash items such as impairment, fair value, and exchange gains/losses, FY 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $1,275.4

million (N1,934.9 billion) (2024: $539.0 million/N797.6 billion), at a margin of 46.8% (2024: 48.3%).

2025 profit before tax rose 87% to $497.8 million (N755.5 billion), compared to $266.7 million (N394.7 billion) in 2024. Net Income increased

13% YoY to $159.1 million (N241.6 billion) from  $140.5 million (N207.9 billion) in 2024, with growth in PBT softened by the growth in income

tax expenses (see more details on taxation below).

The profit attributable to equity holders of the parent Company, representing shareholders, was $160.1 million (N243.2 billion) in 2025, which

resulted in basic earnings per share of $0.27 for the period (2024: $0.25/share), a growth of 7%.

#### Taxation

The income tax expense of $338.8 million (2024: $126.2million) includes a current tax charge of $509.3 million (2024: $193.7 million) and a

deferred tax credit of $170.9 million (2024: $67.4 million). The effective tax rate for the year came in at 68.0% (2024:  47.3%) below

guidance of 80% - 85% largely due to the higher deferred tax credit. The deferred tax credit reflects the benefits of PIA conversion for

onshore assets which reduces future tax liabilities through lower deferred tax rate.

\*Others include PAYE tax on vested shares paid, hedge premium, contribution to plan assets and restricted cash movements

During the period, the Company generated $1,672.2 million (N2,536 billion) pre-tax operating cash from its operating activities, a 336%

increase from the $383.5 million (N567.5 billion) generated in 2024, predominantly due to the step change in scale from consolidating our

offshore business.

After-tax cash flow from operating activities amounted to $1,165.6 million (N1,768.3 billion) in 2025, compared to $310.0 million (N458.7

billion) in 2024, and includes cash tax payments made during the year of $423 million (N641.0 billion), hedging premiums of $31.3

million(N47.5 billion) and for the offshore business, a $49.7 million (N75.5 billion) contribution for the defined benefit scheme paid during the

current period. Overall, the cash taxes paid represent 25% of operating cashflow, an increase from 18% recorded in 2024 as cash tax

payments continued to reflect the tax-paying position of the enlarged Group.

On working capital, onshore cash call collections remained robust. On OMLs 4, 38 & 41 and OML 40, we received $290.1 million (N440.1

billion) in cash calls from our JV partner, bringing the receivables balance to $84.5 million (N121.3 billion) (2024: $41.4 million/N63.6 billion);

growth in the balance is due to timing and significant balances have now been received after year end. On OML 53, cash call obligations

are fully paid up. Similarly, in our offshore business, cash call settlements remain positive, with the receivables balance on the SEPNU/

NUIMS JV falling to $201.7 million (N289 billion) at the end of 2025, down from $296.0 million (N454.6 billion) at end 2024.

\*Others include interest received, and deposit for asset held for sale.

In 2025, the total net cash outflow from investing activities was $599.4 million (N909.6 billion), down 9% compared to $658.9 million

(N998.4 billion) net investments in 2024.

Cash capital expenditure on oil & gas assets during the period was $261 million (N396.1 billion) (2024: $203 million/297.5 billion), including

replacement of the IGE on EAP. Total capex (including other fixed assets) was $266.8 million (N405.0 billion) (2024: $208.1 million/N266.8

billion). Capital expenditure was marginally below our revised guidance of $270 - $290 million, however within our initial guidance of $260 -

$320 million for 2025.

During the year, we made additional payments to ExxonMobil totalling $326.2 million (N494.9 billion). As we disclosed in our 9M 2025

results, we paid $64.3 million in respect of loans and working capital items settled by ExxonMobil on behalf of MPNU at the time of Change

in Control (CiC). In addition, during 4Q 2025 we paid the amount deferred at the time of completion ($258 million), along with a final

reconciliation payment on the original transaction amounting to $4 million. We note that the JV-related element of these deferred costs

has been recovered from our JV partner, reflected in the working capital movements in cash flow from operations. This brings the total

consideration for the acquisition of MPNU to $1,126.5 million. We note that no contingent payment in respect of 2025 performance is due

on the transaction.

The Company reports 2025 free cash flow of $898.7 million (N1372.1 billion) (2024: $101.8 million/N161.2 billion) reflecting the step change in

scale of the business, calculated before adjusting for working capital and the one-off additional transaction-related payments.

Net cash outflow from financing activities was $707.4 million (N1,073.2 billion), compared to a net cash inflow of $409.6 million (N606.1

billion) in 2024.

The net cash outflow recorded in the year was primarily driven by a reduction in the gross debt position of the Company as it paid down

all outstanding amounts on the revolving credit facility (RCF) as well as the Westport Junior Reserve Based Lending (RBL) facility (more

details in debt movements section).

The 61% increase in interest paid on loans and borrowings to $100.6 million (N152.6 billion) (2024: $62.5 million/N92.5 billion) was due to the

higher interest rate on the refinanced $650 million Eurobond as well as the higher gross debt balance relative to 2024 (due to the addition

of the $300 million Advanced Payment Facility). The increase in other finance costs relates to transaction costs on issuance of the $650.0

million Eurobond and withholding tax payment on bond coupon payment. The lease interest and principal payments of $33.5 million

(N50.8 billion) (2024: $7.0 million/N10.4 billion) are related to our offshore operations, representing payments made for property and aircraft

leases.

During the period, we paid $140.2 million (N212.7 billion) in dividends to our shareholders, representing a 53% increase on 2024’s $91.4

million (N135.2 billion). We spent $30.9 million (N46.9 billion) on shares which were purchased for the obligations under the Company’s

long-term incentive plan (2024: $19.5 million/N28.9 billion).

#### Debt movements

Revolving credit facility (RCF)

As previously disclosed, on 28 July the Company repaid the outstanding $100 million (N151 billion) balance on its RCF. As of the reporting

date the RCF remained undrawn and fully available. Post period end, we are pleased to announce, that on 31 January 2026, the Company

refinanced and upscaled its existing facility to a new $400 million (N607 billion) revolving credit facility (up from $350 million/N531 billion

previously), while at the same time lowering the borrowing cost with the new facility interest rate set at SOFR plus 4.5% (down from SOFR

plus 5% plus CAS of 0.26%), achieving a saving of 76bps. The facility will run until October 2029.

Westport Junior reserve based lending (RBL) offtake facility

During the year, the Company repaid the $11 million (N17 billion) outstanding under the Westport Junior RBL and subsequently cancelled the

facility.

Westport Senior RBL facility

On 30 September 2025 the Group refinanced its existing $110 million (N167 billion) senior RBL facility into a new five-year $80 million (N121

billion) RBL facility. The new facility (Westport RBL facility) is supported by four lenders (previously three), and carries an interest rate of

SOFR plus 6.5% for the first three years, increasing to SOFR plus 7.0% for the remainder of the term if more than 50% of the facility is

drawn at that time. This is a c.176 bps improvement from SOFR plus CAS plus 8.0% on the previous Senior facility, and a c.426 bps

improvement from SOFR plus CAS plus 10.5% on the now cancelled Junior facility. In 4Q 2025, we drew down an additional $25.0 million

(N37.9 billion) under the facility, taking the total amount drawn to date to $55.25 million (N83.8 billion). The facility begins amortising in June

2027, however, current drawdown remains below commitment levels until June 2028.

Gross debt closed the year at $1,005.6 million (N1,443.3 billion) (2024: $1,367.5 million/N2,099.8 billion), down 26% YoY, and cash at bank of

$332.3 million (N478.0 billion) (2024: $469.9million/N721.4 billion), with net debt at $673.3 million (N 966.3 billion) (2024: $897.8 million/

N1,378.4 billion). The decline in gross debt balance reflects payment in full of the prior $350 million/N531 billion revolving credit facility and

the outstanding amounts under the Westport Junior RBL.

We continue to monitor the Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of the Company with a focus to keep it under 1.5x (debt covenant - 3.0x). At the end

of 2025, net debt-to-EBITDA ratio closed at 0.53x, down from proforma net debt-to-EBITDA of 0.66x in 2024.

The Board has approved a dividend of USD 8.3 cents (N125.96) per share for 4Q 2025 (subject to appropriate WHT), comprised of the

minimum quarterly base dividend (USD 5.0 cents/N75.88 per share), and a special dividend of USD 3.3 cents/N50.08 per share. The

dividend will be subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting which will be held on 20 May 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria. If

approved, the 4Q 2025 dividend brings the total proposed dividend for 2025 to USD 25.0 cents (N379.39) per share (2024: 16.5 US cents/

N253.33 per share).

The 4Q 2025 dividend is a 20% increase on 4Q 2024 dividend while the total dividend for 2025 is 52% higher than 2024’s dividend,

reflecting the enhanced scale of the business, the robust cash generation in 2025 and our commitment to return cash to shareholders.

Definition

Our share of oil and gas produced during

the year proportionate to our working

interest in each producing block. Volumes

expressed are as measured at our

facilities, prior to any reconciliation losses.

Relevance

An indicator of production strength at our

current blocks and the impact of organic

and inorganic development projects.

Progress

In 2025, we delivered WI oil and gas

production of 131,506 boepd, a 144%

increase relative to 2024. WI production

was split between liquids of 33,465 bopd,

and gas of 111.4 MMscfd. Reconciliation

losses for the year were 3.4%.

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| In line with expectations |

Outlook

Working interest production guidance for

2026 is set at 135,000 - 155,000 boepd.

The projected growth in production is

underpinned by the successful idle well

restoration programme, strong drilling

performance, wet gas sales to ANOH and

restoration of the Yoho production

platform.

Risk management

We have an in-depth understanding of the

subsurface and constantly monitors

individual well and reservoir performance

in order to optimise the drawdown rate on

each well and maximise long-term

economic recovery of oil and gas from the

reservoirs. We have also prioritised the

creation and use of alternative oil export

routes to mitigate high concentration risk.

Production opex

($/boe)

#### $15.7/boe

![1405]()

2024  includes a non-production related cost of $123 million

related to fair value adjustment of inventory on business

combination sold as at YE 2024. Adjusted production opex

per boe on underlying operations of $16.5/boe.

Definition

The operating costs (excluding non-

cashflow expenses, and financing costs)

net to the Company divided by our

working interest barrels of oil  and

equivalent produced in the period.

Relevance

An indicator of how cost efficiently we are

able to utilise our oil and gas reserves. By

controlling our operating cost base, we

can be more resilient when oil prices are

low, and more profitable when high.

Progress

Production cost per unit of production

closed at $15.70/boe, predominantly due

to lower production in 4Q 2025. It also

reflects increased maintenance spending

on our offshore asset to improve asset

integrity and reliability.

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| Below expectations |

Outlook

We continue to implement cost control

measures to ensure stability in production

costs. We also continue to drive

improvement in production which will help

to spread the fixed component of

production costs.

Risk management

We carefully monitor expenditures and

continually analyse our underlying cost

base, making comparisons to prevailing

market rates in order to ensure that we

can identify and action cost savings and

efficiency gains to remain competitive and

maximise returns.

Definition

A measure of Scope 1 and 2 emissions per

unit of production within Seplat's operated

assets and facilities.

Relevance

An assessment of our carbon footprint and

its impact on our operations.

Progress

The Company's carbon intensity declined

24% to 24.3 kg CO2/boe in 2025. The

decline reflects commencement of zero-

routine flaring operations on our Western

Assets. We also closed out all End of

Routine Flaring (EORF) projects across our

onshore assets in 2025.

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| In line with expectations |

Outlook

We expect to ramp up and conclude

operationalisation of our EORF projects on

our Eastern Assets in 2026, following

commencement of production from the

ANOH Gas Plant. This will achieve zero-

routine flaring on our operated Eastern

Assets. Subsequently, we will officially end

routine flaring on our operated onshore

assets. We are assessing the flaring

regime on our offshore assets and will

present our roadmap for reducing flaring

on them.

Risk management

We recognise that the business faces

significant risks from climate change, and

we have upgraded climate-related risk as

a principal risk within our risk management

framework. Our primary goal is to reduce

GHG emissions from direct operations and

we have established a broad set of

investment activities designed to achieve

this, as well as to offset residual emissions.

Progress

We recorded an LTI in 2025 on our

operated onshore assets after 29.1 million

man-hours worked without LTI for three

years. Post the LTI occurrence, we have

achieved 11.4 million man hours worked

without an LTI on our operated onshore

and offshore operations. LTIF for the year

was 0.025.

| --- |
|  |
| Below expectations |

Outlook

In 2026, we will continue to strengthen our

HSE systems and protocols with a focus

on minimising the frequency of LTIs across

all our operations.

Risk management

We have in place extensive and well-

developed HSE policies and reporting

procedures with an emphasis on the early

identification and mitigation of HSE risks.

We closely monitor our HSE performance

and constantly evaluate ways to improve

our performance.

![2199023263929]()

Definition

Our operating cash flow in the year before

tax.

Relevance

An indicator of the cash-generative

potential of our producing oil and gas

blocks.

Progress

Cashflow from operations increased to

$1,672 million in 2025. The increase in

operating cash flow reflects the step-

change-in-scale in the business following

consolidation of the offshore and onshore

business.

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| Above expectations |

Outlook

We expect cashflow generation to remain

strong in 2026, supported by improved

production, cost efficiency, and possible

favourable commodity price movements.

Risk management

Careful financial management and high

levels of operating efficiency allow us to

ensure positive cash generation from our

operating activities.

Relevance

An indicator of how much we invest in

production, development, exploration and

appraisal activities.

Progress

Capital expenditure for the period

increased to $266.8 million in 2025,

reflecting a robust drilling campaign, and

commencement of investment in our

offshore assets following completion of

the Inlet Gas Exchange (IGE) replacement

at East Area Project (EAP).

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| In line with expectations |

Outlook

Capex for 2026 is expected to be

between $360 million - $440 million. The

capex plan will cover drilling and project

expenditure. We plan to drill 17 new wells

across our operated assets (onshore - 15

wells, offshore - 2 wells). Key projects to

be executed under the capex plan include

Sapele LPG, Amukpe buffer tank, Oben

low pressure compression projects, Oso-

BRT phase 1 capacity expansion, Oso-BRT

phase 2 initial project works, and Usari

ADP.

Risk management

Project investments are monitored closely

against budgets to minimise the risk of

overruns. We benchmark every

investment opportunity to ensure capital is

deployed to only the highest-return

projects, and we adhere to a price-

disciplined expenditure strategy.

Definition

The average oil price per barrel we sold

during the year.

Relevance

Our financial performance is closely linked

to the price of oil.

Progress

Oil prices continued to weaken in 2025 but

remained supportive of robust operational

and financial performance. Brent crude

averaged $68.07/bbl., 14.8% lower than

2024's $79.86/bbl. Consequently, average

realised crude price for the business was

$70.29/bbl., 12.2% lower than 2024's

$80.04/bbl.

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| Above expectations |

Outlook

We are optimistic that oil prices will

continue to support our growth. We are

also prepared for any shock in the market

with budget scenarios at different prices.

We have hedged 18.0 MMboe for the first

three quarters of the year, providing

protection against downside price

outcomes.

Risk management

We continue to closely monitor prevailing

oil market dynamics and will consider

further measures and take advantage of

opportune periods to implement additional

hedges that provide appropriate levels of

cashflow assurance.

Definition

The average gas price per million standard

cubic feet (Mscf) of gas we sold during the

year.

Relevance

Our financial performance is closely linked

to the price we sell gas.

Progress

Average realised gas price decreased by

3.6% to $2.95/Mscf in 2025 due to the

consolidation of lower priced offshore gas

sales and downward revision of the

domestic gas supply obligation .

|  |
| --- |
|  |
| In line with expectations |

Outlook

Gas prices are less volatile and thus we

are optimistic that they will continue to

support our growth ambitions. As a result,

growing our sales volume will directly aid

revenue growth and strengthen cashflow

assurance.

Risk management

We continue to negotiate with potential

buyers to high-grade the gas sales

contracts list as domestic gas demand

continues to grow. Also, we ensure most

of our contracts are long-term contracts

which assures realised gas price stability

through the cycle.

Risk Management continued

#### Protecting our business

Ernest Ebi

Chairman, Risk Management and HSSE Committee

We balance how we embrace and mitigate risks through a robust

risk management framework and transparent processes for

identifying all factors that may lead to any divergence (“Risk

Identification”). We estimate the likelihood of their occurrence and

the severity of their impact (“Risk Assessment/Measurement”),

design effective controls to reduce both the probability and impact

of risk events (“Risk Control”) and establish procedures to ensure

these controls are effective and adhered to (“Risk Monitoring”),

regularly reporting risk events and control performance (“Risk

Reporting”). We maintain adequate capital to absorb the adverse

impacts of both expected and unexpected losses.

We are committed to applying leading risk management practices

in our work. Our management team considers effective risk

management to be an integral part of how we achieve our

strategic business objectives.

#### Managing risks to protect our business

We manage risks across three broad dimensions:

1. Internal risks: risks arising from within the organization, that

are therefore within the Company’s control and can be

effectively eliminated or avoided. We manage these risks

through active prevention, monitoring operational processes,

procedures, compliance and guiding people’s behaviours and

decisions toward desired norms.

2. Strategy risks: risks accepted by the Company to generate

superior returns from the Company’s strategy. We manage

these risks by defining a clear risk appetite framework for the

business. Accordingly, the Company’s risk appetite is defined

fully in an established risk appetite framework policy approved

by the Board

3. External risks: risks that arise from events outside the

Company and beyond its control. Sources of these risks

include natural and political disasters and major

macroeconomic shifts. We manage these risks through

At Seplat Energy our top priority remains to maximise stakeholder returns whilst balancing risk and

#### reward, optimising performance and minimising the gap between expectations and outcomes.

proactive efforts to identify them and mitigate their impact.

Overall, we recognize that each of the above risk-management

techniques requires different risk-management approaches. The

internal risks arising from within the Company are monitored and

controlled through policies, processes and standard compliance

tools. In contrast, strategy risks and external risks are managed

through open risk discussions and cost-effective mechanisms

aimed at reducing the likelihood of risk events as well as mitigating

their consequences.

We acknowledge that risk management is an ongoing process of

enhancement rather than a static destination. Consequently, we

remain committed to refining our risk management protocols to

adeptly navigate the ever-changing landscape of the energy

sector.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

#### Our risk management system

The risk management system of the company adheres to the

principles outlined in ISO 31000, the global standard for risk

management. It employs a dual approach, combining top-down

directions from the Board of Directors to establish the appropriate

risk appetite aligned with corporate objectives, alongside a

bottom-up process where business units identify and address

risks at the unit and asset levels.

The Risk Management and HSSE Committee provides support to

the Board in supervising the Company’s risk management

framework and its risk/reward strategy as determined by the

Board. This committee ensures the presence of a robust risk

management system within the Company to navigate the diverse

and evolving risks and opportunities encountered while generating

value for shareholders. Meeting no less than four times annually,

the Committee scrutinizes the Company's risk profiles, proposed

mitigation strategies, management's actions for mitigation, and any

residual risk exposures. Executive Directors, responsible for

comprehensive risk identification and proposing effective

mitigating measures to achieve objectives, attend these meetings.

Reports concerning the Company’s Enterprise risk register,

significant risk exposures in its operations, and evaluations of its

risk management systems are compiled and delivered to the

Board of Directors.

While key risks and their associated appetites are determined at

the highest level, business units and functional managers bear

responsibility for the risks within their respective domains. The

Company’s enterprise risk management (ERM) system,

spearheaded by the Head of Enterprise Risk Management,

complimented by the Business Risk & Assurance Committee and

overseen by the Board Risk Management and HSSE Committee,

facilitates risk management across all business segments and

functions.

This ERM system encompasses robust mechanisms and

methodologies for risk identification, assessment, reporting, and

monitoring. It includes the maintenance of enterprise-wide and

functional/operational level risk registers, risk dashboards, tracking

of mitigation actions, and comprehensive risk reporting.

To further embed risk management throughout the organization,

an additional risk governance structure, Business Risk & Assurance

Committee (BRAC) exists. The BRAC ensures that the risks are

managed within the Business Unit’s established Risk Appetite.

Accordingly, the BRAC serves as the bridge between the business

and the management of the Company and links risk appetites

with authority delegations for all leadership functions within the

business.

Furthermore, the Internal Audit unit conducts periodic audits of

various business units, including the Company’s corporate

governance systems and risk management processes.

Key principles that underpin the Company’s risk management

framework and system:

• Strong focus on safety throughout the organization.

• Close oversight by senior management in day-to-day

business operations.

• “Risk owners” throughout the business.

• Accountability of staff and/or key personnel.

• Regular and timely reporting.

• Clear line of sight on the system of internal controls.

• Monitoring and independent reviews.

Throughout 2025, the Board Risk & HSSE Committee and the Business Risk and Assurance Committee (BRAC) provided rigorous

oversight of the Company’s key risk exposures. Their work included a detailed review of the Enterprise Risk Register and management’s

risk reports, which outlined critical risks, potential impacts, and likelihood of occurrence. Mitigation strategies were thoroughly examined,

covering areas such as climate-related risks, integrity issues on offshore facilities, status of disputes and contingent liabilities, oil price

volatility, and timely delivery of strategic projects.

Additionally, we conducted an overhaul of our risk universe

benchmarking our enterprise risk landscape to other leading

practices in the industry. That exercise brought about the revised

risk universe with five risks categories and 18 enterprise risks. Six of

the 18 risks are critical risks that are significant and have a near-

term impact on Seplat Energy, while the remaining 12 other risks

have a longer-term impact. Six of the 18 risks are external (i.e.,

outside the Company’s control), while 12 of the 18 risks are internal

(i.e., within the Company’s control). This was presented to the

Board Risk Committee at its meeting in July. The Committee

reviewed the risk universe and keeps within its radar, the

engagement of management on the critical risks.

#### Critical risks anduncertainties

Highlighted below are the critical risks that the Company dealt with

in 2025 and will continue to monitor going into 2026.

1. Catastrophic events (explosions, disease outbreaks): risk

of a significant fire outbreak & associated explosion in a

production facility or a pandemic such as COVID-19 causing

significant harm to personnel, the environment, and

infrastructure. As at year end, the trend for this risk remains

steady. Our view remains that we do not see a threat at

pandemic level like COVID, and within the context of our

operationalization of the company’s HSE-case, we maintain a

steady trend.

2. Ethical and governance misconduct: risk of ethical and

governance misconduct arising from dishonesty, bribery and

corruption, fraud, discrimination, harassment, conflicts of

interest, breaching fiduciary duties, failing to comply with

regulatory requirements, resulting in reputational damage,

significant financial loss, and litigations. The risk remains steady

as the business continues to consolidate its culture refresh via

the launch of the SF-InPACT, as well as the corporate

governance recertification conducted during the year for all

staff.

3. Market, credit, and liquidity risk: risk of potential losses

arising from fluctuations in commodity prices, currency

exchange rates, interest rates, and other market variables.

Limited access to capital and financing is precipitated by

market conditions, investor sentiment, and regulatory changes.

Inability to convert assets into cash quickly without a significant

loss in value.

4. Cyber security risk: risk refers to the potential for loss,

damage, or disruption to the organization's data, IT systems,

and operations due to malicious cyber activities. These risks

can arise from a variety of sources, including hackers,

malware, insider threats, and other vulnerabilities. We recorded

a stable trend for the risk giving the relatively lower upsurge in

attacks in the face of continued upsurge in cybercrimes

globally. With integration, this risk was updated to also include

the risks faced within our offshore facilities especially with

regards to our Industrial Controls Systems Requirements

(ICSR), which protects our self-contained production network

from any cybersecurity attacks.

5. Asset integrity/own infrastructure failure: risk that due to

poor asset integrity management, operability and availability of

production facilities, these facilities become defunct and

inoperable. In 2025, due to the nature of the facilities within the

offshore, and the significant integrity work required to get

them into shape, this risk trend was kept at increasing for the

first three quarters of the year and steady in the later part of

the year (in recognition of the amount of integrity projects

currently ongoing in the offshore). Significant capital allocation

was devoted to addressing this risk in 2025 and this allocation

will continue in the medium-term (2026 – 2030). The

expectation is that this risk will trend downwards in the near

future.

6. Disputes and contingent liabilities: Risk that judgment /

orders / arbitral awards may be granted against the Company,

as well as risk of contractual and or regulatory breaches by the

Company or vendor, resulting in litigation and reportable

contingent liability for the business. This risk became a critical

risk with the acquisition of MPNU, which came with a large

number of unresolved litigations and associated contingent

liabilities. However, the trend is decreasing due to strong

mitigation progress in 2026, culminating in significant reduction

in active cases.

In summary, 2025 was another transformational year for Seplat,

consolidating the acquisition and integration of MPNU and

embedding the offshore business into the Seplat risk universe,

including the revision of critical risks to include the scale and

impact of the Offshore business. We advanced risk management

maturity by developing a comprehensive enterprise risk register for

offshore operations, ensuring alignment with the Group’s

governance framework and risk appetite. Alongside structural and

leadership changes, we strengthened governance, delivered key

projects, and reinforced sustainability commitments. The culture

refresh launched in 2024 (SF‑InPACT) continued to gain traction,

embedding inclusivity, performance discipline, agility, and the

Seplat First mindset across the organization.

The Company remained steadfast in its commitment to effectively

managing climate-related risks, which are categorized into

physical and transition risks. Progress in mitigating these risks was

meticulously monitored and reported to the Risk & HSSE

Committee during its quarterly meetings. Paramount among the

measures identified to manage and mitigate climate-related risks

include the decarbonization of our operations and the strategic

diversification of our business into lower-carbon and renewable

energy products. This was evident in the successful elimination of

routine flaring in our Onshore business, while efforts are in place to

replicate same in our Offshore business, significantly reducing our

carbon footprint and reducing climate-related risks.

For comprehensive details on the physical and transition risks

identified, our assessment of their impact on the Company, and

the proactive actions being undertaken to mitigate these risks,

please refer to the Sustainability section of this Annual Report.

Additionally, following the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act

(PIA), in 2025 Seplat completed the conversion of our Oil Mining

Leases (OMLs) to Petroleum Prospecting Licenses (PPLs) or

Petroleum Mining Leases (PMLs) for the Onshore operated

business and have commenced the process of converting our

Offshore licenses too, further positioning Seplat for sustainable

growth and operational efficiency in the coming years.

Overall, the Committee is confident in the robustness of the

Company's Risk-Management System, which ensures the integrity

of our business processes, decisions, and activities moving

forward. Additionally, our HSSE Management System continues to

demonstrate maturity and reliability, consistently delivering strong

HSSE performance year after year.

Risk Management continued

#### Fundamental elements of the internal control system

Seplat Energy operates a group structure where the Senior

Leadership Team, covering all departments  report to the group

CEO. This structure enables Seplat Energy to maintain a clear line

of sight across its various business entities while accommodating

operational flexibility and autonomy. Overall, Seplat Energy's

business structure is designed to support the company's Asset

focus strategic objectives while ensuring operations are carried

out responsibly and sustainably.

Internal controls are embedded throughout Seplat Energy's

organizational structure, with each subsidiary responsible for

implementing and maintaining effective internal controls. The

company's internal controls are designed to provide reasonable

assurance regarding the accuracy and reliability of accounting,

financial and non-financial reporting, as well as the effectiveness

and efficiency of operations.

Internal control framework

Seplat’s internal controls framework leans on the principles and

guidelines provided by the Committee of Sponsoring

Organizations (COSO) Internal Control-Integrated Framework

tailored to the specific needs, business arrangement and

geographical environment of Seplat Energy.

This aligns with the adoption of the same framework by the

Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of Nigeria, the regulatory body

responsible for overseeing financial reporting in Nigeria, as the

basis for its Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

guidelines, with which Seplat fully complies.

The COSO framework also provides criteria which form the basis

for understanding control in the organization and for making

judgements about the effectiveness of control. It sets out

guidelines for management to ascertain with reasonable

assurance that the Internal Control System is effective enough to

achieve the following strategic objectives:

• Effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including

safeguarding of assets)

• Reliability of financial reporting compliance with laws and

regulations

Control environment

Seplat's internal control environment is driven by its corporate

values, risk management philosophy (recognizing that unexpected

as well as expected events may occur) and risk appetite,

corporate governance, assignment of authority and

responsibilities, organizational structure and human resources

policies and procedures.

Seplat has a defined code by which it expects all persons who

work for or with Seplat to conduct themselves in its business. The

Code of Conduct (approved by the Board) is part of the

mandatory information and communication to all staff. In the same

vein, a strong culture of integrity and ethical conduct is promoted

by the Board and Executive Directors.

Management has also established and communicated the core

values of Safety, Integrity, Partnership, Ambition and Agility, which

constitute the standards of behaviour expected of a Seplat

employee.

Governance & oversight

1. Internal control reporting structure: Seplat’s internal

controls system is driven by the Chief Finance Officer (CFO)

through the Head, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). The

ERM function has access to the Board Financial and Audit

Committee through the CFO. The ERM team supports internal

controls activity (as an effective tool for risk management)

across the business and functions. The Company’s internal

controls process includes design and implementation of

internal controls framework, review, monitoring and

improvement of the framework, annual process and controls

review and assessment, and process improvement (including

the documentation of new processes).

2. Roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors: Seplat

has an experienced Board of Directors which includes

Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and Independent

Non-Executive Directors who establish the “tone at the top”

and guide the Leadership team. The Board recognizes the

impact of its leadership and actions on the management and

employees of Seplat and, thus, commits to setting the right

tone at the top. The Board of Directors holds regular and

periodic meetings with the Leadership Team, from whom it

also receives regular reports containing updates on operations

from all units.

3. Internal Audit: The Internal Audit unit functionally reports to

the Board Finance and Audit Committee and administratively

to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Internal Audit is

independent of the business activities and consistently

evaluates and reports on compliance with internal control

requirements in audit reports as part of their assessment of

internal controls.

4. Staff: All members of staff are responsible for the internal

controls embedded in their various job roles. Seplat employees

are responsible for conducting their duties in accordance with

internal control policies and procedures (including the Code of

Conduct). They are also responsible for reporting to their Unit

Heads instances where they consider that internal control

procedures are inadequate.

Assignment of authority and responsibility

The need to delegate authority and responsibility within Seplat is

recognized and implemented to provide reasonable assurance

that work activities are aligned with organizational objectives and

to maintain business continuity.

• Authorization levels within key areas of business are

established and communicated across Seplat. Seplat has a

documented approval Authority Matrix, which assigns

responsibilities at various levels.

• Supervision is central to the way Seplat is run, and this helps

ensure that employees are aware of the impact their roles

and responsibilities have on Seplat’s operations and know the

extent to which they are accountable for activities.

• Unit Heads are directly responsible for the daily activities of all

officers within their units.

Control activities

Seplat practices an approach of tiered ownership of internal

controls and risk management i.e. responsibilities at the following

levels: Board of Directors, leadership team, unit heads and staff.

Controls are built into the information technology systems and

manual processes at the time they are designed, and care is taken

to ensure that the cost of the control activity does not exceed the

cost that may be incurred if the undesirable event occurs. The

number of resources directed at control activities are based on the

significance and likelihood of the risks they are to prevent or

reduce.

Control activities are those actions necessary for addressing risk

concerns related to both strategic and daily operations and are

embedded in Seplat’s policies and procedures. These activities,

which help ensure that management risk response directives are

carried out, include the following:

• Business performance reviews

• Information processing (including application and information

technology general controls)

• Approvals and authorizations

• Verifications

• Physical controls

• Segregation of duties

Manual controls / policies and procedures

• Seplat ensures that detailed policy and procedure manuals

are in place for all business processes and communicated to

employees as appropriate.

• Procedural manuals are reviewed regularly by the Internal

Controls team

• A Risk and Controls Matrix is developed for all business

processes and reviewed at least once a year for adequacy

and effectiveness.

• Top-level reviews are conducted to track the execution of

Seplat goals and objectives by measuring performance

against set targets, i.e. via the periodic budget monitoring and

performance appraisal processes.

• Performance indicators are regularly reviewed to track

performance.

• Reports are reviewed by unit heads to ensure accuracy,

completeness and proper authorization.

• There is a segregation of duties within Seplat as job roles and

responsibilities are designed to reduce the risk of error/fraud.

• Fixed assets are regularly verified. Comparisons are made

against control records, and discrepancies are investigated.

• Authorization and approval requirements for process activities

are documented and communicated across Seplat following

the Delegation of Authority Matrix.

Information technology system controls

Seplat relies on information technology (IT) systems for most of its

information processing and storage operations, and as such,

controls are established over all information technology systems:

• The General Manager, Information Technology, under the

Corporate Services Directorate, monitors the activities of the

IT Unit. The leadership team is responsible for reviewing the IT

strategy, operations, projects and activities of Seplat.

• Tasks within the IT Unit are well structured to ensure

adequate segregation of duties.

• IT personnel undergo the required training course to

effectively perform their job responsibilities.

• Background checks are carried out on new IT hires following

the Human Resources policy.

• The Internal Controls team reviews the IT controls within

Seplat.

#### Corporate Governance Report

Seplat Energy’s Board of Directors is

committed to upholding the highest

standards of corporate governance.

It recognizes that strong governance is

fundamental to the Company’s long-term

success and ensures that sound

governance principles guide all its

activities and engagements.

Through a clear “tone-from-the-top” approach, the Board

reinforces the importance of acting with integrity and in full

alignment with best-in-class corporate governance standards.

As a company dual-listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX)

and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) for more than ten years,

Seplat Energy is subject to strict listing and corporate governance

requirements. For the financial year ended 31 December 2025,

these included the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020

(CAMA), the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rules

and Regulations, including the Corporate Governance Guidelines

for Public Companies (SEC Guidelines), the Nigerian Code of

Corporate Governance 2018 (NCCG), the UK Listing Rules (LRs),

the UK Market Abuse Regulation (UK MAR), and the 2024 UK

Corporate Governance Code amongst others.

In compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations, the Board—

being the Company’s highest governing body—acknowledges its

overall responsibility for overseeing the performance and affairs of

Seplat Energy on behalf of shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Board is therefore pleased to present the Corporate

Governance Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 to

shareholders and the investing public.

As at the end of the year under review, the Board comprised 12

Directors with diverse backgrounds, experience, and expertise,

which contributed meaningfully to the effective discharge of their

responsibilities during the financial year. The Board maintains an

appropriate balance of Executive, Non-Executive, and Independent

Non-Executive Directors. A majority of the Company’s Directors

are Non-Executive, most of whom are Independent, ensuring

objective and independent judgment in Board deliberations.

Recognizing corporate governance as critical to achieving the

Company’s strategic objectives, the Board has adopted and

implemented a robust board charter, policies, and processes to

support the effective day-to-day management of the Company.

#### Boardprocesses

Scope and authority

In line with relevant codes of corporate governance and

regulations, the Board is responsible for ensuring compliance with

all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. In discharging this

responsibility, the Board is supported by the Company Secretariat,

Compliance and Legal Unit headed by the Director Legal/

Company Secretary. Additionally, the Board is supported by key

members of the Senior Leadership Team and management as are

required from time to time. To aid the Directors’ effective

participation and making of informed decisions at Board and

committee meetings, all Board and Board Committee papers are

circulated to each Director in advance of their meetings using the

Board pad software that is designed for that purpose. Formal

minutes of the Board and Committee meetings are taken by the

Company Secretariat team and are reviewed, discussed by the

Board prior to approval, and adopted at the subsequent Board

and Committee meetings. The Company Secretary also advises

and provides guidance to the Board in the discharge of its

obligations as stipulated in the applicable Nigerian and UK laws,

codes, rules, and regulations. Members of the Board are aware of

their right to obtain independent professional advice at the

Company’s expense and did obtain independent professional

advice in the financial year under review.

The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and the CEO are

clearly separated and are outlined in the Board Charter and in the

appointment letters of the Chairman and the CEO. This role

separation is monitored by the Senior Independent Non-Executive

Director (‘SINED’ or ‘S.I.D’) and is periodically assessed during

Board evaluations.

The Board has adopted a comprehensive Board Charter that sets

out the matters that are exclusively reserved for its approval. The

matters that require exclusive approval of the Board are also

captured in the Authority Matrix of the Company to ensure strict

compliance by the Senior Leadership Team and management.

Some of the key matters the Board deliberated upon for the financial

year under review include, but are not limited to the following:

Business Plan

• Received and accepted the resignation of Mr Olivier De

Langavant;

• Appointment of Mr Larry Ettah and Mr Tony Elumelu as an

To facilitate an efficient and effective discharge of its

responsibilities, the Board has delegated specific aspects of its

responsibilities to these six Board Committees:

1. The Board Finance and Audit Committee

2. The Remuneration Committee.

3. The Nomination and Governance Committee.

4. The Risk Management and HSSE Committee.

5. The Sustainability Committee

6. The Energy Transition Committee.

The Board Finance and Audit Committee, which comprises only

Independent Non-Executive Directors was constituted in 2013 in

compliance with the UK Code’s requirement for an audit

committee.

The Statutory Audit Committee, which was established at the 30

June 2014 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’), consists of three

shareholder representatives who are elected at every AGM to sit

on the Statutory Audit Committee in line with Sections 404(2) & (3)

of CAMA 2020 and two Non-Executive Directors.

All seven Committees (including the Statutory Audit Committee)

have their respective Terms of Reference that guide their

members in the discharge of their assigned duties. All the

Committees present a report to the Board, highlighting matters

deliberated upon as well as each Committee’s proposals/

recommendations on matters within the remit of their respective

Terms of Reference. The details of these seven Committees are

contained in the individual Committee reports in this governance

section.

#### Board review and evaluation

In line with the NCCG and the UK Code, which prescribes the

establishment of a formal and rigorous annual evaluation of the

performance of the board, its committees, the chairman, individual

directors and that the process should be externally facilitated by

an independent external consultant at least once in three years,

the Board in the year under review, engaged the services of an

independent external consultant, Ernst & Young Nigeria to carry

out an evaluation of the Board for the financial year 2024. The

independent consultant also carried out an assessment of the

corporate governance practices within the Company.

In carrying out the evaluation, the following seven key corporate

governance areas were considered:

1. Board structure and composition;

2. Strategy;

3. Board operations;

4. Quality of the Board;

5. Board Risk Management activities;

6. Relationship with stakeholders; and

7. Transparency and disclosure.

In carrying out the evaluation, Ernst & Young Nigeria benchmarked

the Board’s practices against the Nigerian Financial Reporting

Council Corporate Governance Code, Financial Reporting Council

UK Corporate Governance Code, and the Securities and

Exchange Commission Corporate Governance Guidelines. The

project included a desktop review of relevant documents, director

interviews and director survey and peer and self-assessment.

The Report and Findings were presented to the Board for

deliberation and areas of improvement noted by the Board.

The Final Report is contained on page 69.

#### Board meetings

One of the principal ways in which the Board performs its

oversight function and monitoring of the Company’s performance

is through Board meetings. In accordance with regulatory

requirements, the Board meets at least once every quarter.

However, additional meetings are scheduled as matters which

require the attention of the Board prior to the convening of next

quarterly Board meeting arise.

The Board held nine meetings during the 2025 financial year. The

dates of the meetings and attendance of each Director at the

meetings are contained on page 56. During the year under review,

the Non-Executive Directors held exclusive meetings, without the

Executive Directors. In compliance with the Nigerian Code and the

UK Code, it is the policy and practice of Seplat that no Director is

involved in any deliberation pertaining to his/her remuneration.

appointments to the Board undergo a formal, rigorous and

transparent process.

New Directors are required to attend an induction programme on

their duties and to enable them refresh their skills and knowledge.

In furtherance of this, the Company organized induction programs

representatives on the Statutory Audit Committee: Mrs Bashirat

Odunewu (Board Rep); and Mr Kazeem Raimi (Board Rep). The

turnkey drilling rigs disposed in alignment with the Company’s

strategic objectives.

• Quarterly review of the effectiveness of the Business Integrity

Internal Audit: On behalf of the Board, the Committee reviewed

and approved the risk-based Internal Audit plan developed with

due consideration of the Group’s enterprise risk landscape,

strategic business objectives, key management inputs, and

insights from prior audits engagements and interactions with the

committee. The plan was designed to ensure a risk-driven audit

focus, effective stakeholder assurance delivery, and sufficient

flexibility to respond to emerging risk and evolving management

assurance needs. The Committee monitored the execution of the

audit plan through quarterly reports from the Chief Audit Executive

on the internal audit activities and key findings. The Chief Audit

Executive reports directly to the Committee with an administrative

line of reporting to the CEO and has unrestricted access to the

Chairman of the Committee.

The Internal Audit function operates under an approved Audit

Charter that safeguards Internal Audit’s independence and

objectivity. Responsibilities of the Internal Audit function include:

• Providing independent assurance over the adequacy,

reliability, and effectiveness of governance, risk management,

and internal controls systems;

• Assessing the reliability and integrity of financial, operational,

and management information and the processes used to

identify, measure, analyse, classify, and report such information;

• Evaluating the means of safeguarding assets and verifying the

existence of such assets, as appropriate;

• Evaluating the systems established to ensure compliance with

applicable policies, plans, procedures, laws, and regulations;

• Providing consulting and advisory services on new initiatives

and matters related to governance, risk management, and

controls where appropriate.

In 2025, the internal audit strategy emphasised greater focus on

operational areas critical to business performance, thereby

providing assurance on the effectiveness of operational controls

and the achievement of strategic objectives. During the year,

Internal Audit engagements included the following areas:

• Operational audits, including mud engineering, drilling waste

management, and ISO 55001 compliance assessment

• Business services operations

• Contractors labour and regulatory compliance

• Audit action remediation including diesel audit

• Non-audit services review

• Financial retirement and reimbursement processes

• Information technology and cybersecurity remediation

The Committee considered the results of Internal Audit

engagements at its meetings, and the remedial action plans were

discussed with management. As a quarterly activity, Internal Audit

also conducted checkpoint remediation reviews to provide visibility

and assurance on management’s effective closure of control gaps

arising from prior audit findings.

The Committee also monitored the independence, objectivity,

resourcing and overall effectiveness of the Internal Audit function

and held private sessions with the Chief Audit Executive without

the presence of Management, reinforcing open communication

and the function’s ability to escalate matters without undue

influence in line with good corporate governance practices.

External Audit: Prior to commencement of the audit, the

Committee met with the external auditor to review the audit plan

to ensure that the Committee has a thorough understanding of

the higher risk areas and guard against material mis-statements in

the financial statements. The Committee reviewed the external

auditors’ performance and independence and interacted with the

external auditor without Management present. In making its

assessment, the Committee focused on the robustness of the

audit, the extent of investigation into the business and the quality

and objectiveness of the audit team. Based on this, the Committee

concluded that the audit process is operating effectively and has

thus recommended to the Board that the current auditor, PwC

Nigeria, be reappointed as external auditor at the 2026 AGM. PwC

was first appointed on 28 May 2020. The Company complies with

the Nigerian and United Kingdom corporate governance regulations,

which results in the audit partner being rotated every five years

and the audit firm being put out to tender at least every ten years.

In line with this, the audit engagement partner was rotated in 2025.

Board Committee Reports continued

#### Energy Transition

#### Committee report

Dear Shareholders,

The Committee held four meetings in the financial year ended 31

December 2025. The dates, attendance, and membership records

are as shown in the table and note on the left.

I am pleased to present to you the Energy Transition Committee

Report for the 2025 financial year. The Committee sustained its

oversight of the Pillar 2 (Midstream Onshore & Offshore Gas

Business), covering the existing gas business and the ANOH Gas

Project development. We also looked at the Pillar 3 (New Energy)

business to assess the strategy for carbon credits offset and

monetisation initiatives.

The revised strategic focus helps the Committee to navigate the

Gas market and to position the Gas business as a robust stand-

alone midstream business.  Finally, it helps to ensure Board

oversight and deployment of the Company’s energy transition

agenda.

In the fiscal year under review, the Energy Transition Committee

had five Independent Non-Executive Directors as members. They

bring strong leadership experience in the Nigerian and international

gas industry and business generally as well as in depth knowledge

of Finance. We now present hereunder a summary of our activities

during the financial year under review.

• Midstream (Onshore) Gas Business (Pillar 2): Highlights of

onshore gas business carried out by the Energy Transition

Committee during the year include:

• Gas sales volume: During the year under review, the

Committee paid close attention to the efforts by

management to ensure the reliability of supply to customers.

Our efforts from prior years in this regard have yielded

results via the high uptime (greater than 99 percent) of the

Mr. Christopher J. N. Okeke

Chairman of the Energy

Transition Committee

Oben Gas Plant and improved performance of the Sapele

Gas Plant after the commissioning of the Sapele Compressor

Facility (SAPCOM). These factors have resulted in strong

customer offtake associated with reliability of the Company’s

facilities and access to the Escravos – Lagos Pipeline System

(ELPS) which enables the expansion of the customer base

and operation of the facilities at a higher capacity.

• Collection of outstanding debt: in line with the approval of

the National Economic Council, the Company has

commenced recovery of legacy gas debts against gas

royalties. We expect further recoveries under the Federal

Government’s Power Sector Bond Programme that was

also launched to raise funds for settling debts in the gas

and power sector.

• Third-party gas prospects: the Committee monitored the

progress of engagements with the owners of third – party

fields identified to provide feedstock to meet customers’

demand and utilise the installed processing capacity. The

Company has matured two opportunities in this regard for

100 MMscf/d supply to the Oben Gas Plant for 15 years and

28MMscf/d supply to Sapele Gas Plant. GSA negotiations

1. Mr Babs Omotowa resigned from the Board effective 23April, 2025

and execution are at various stages of progress.

• Gas growth opportunities (CNG & LPG Business

Development): the projects selected for development at the

Sapele Gas plant area have been significantly progressed.

The planned delivery date for the CNG project is Q4 2026

whilst the LPG has been completed and offtake

commenced in Q1 2026 following execution of LPG offtake

agreements with two offtakers.

• Midstream (Offshore) Gas business (Pillar 2): The

Committee is paying close attention to the development and

optimisation of the offshore assets integrity issues as reported

by management. The Company will undertake a holistic asset

integrity assessment both onshore and offshore to address the

offshore legacy issues and to optimise solutions onshore. The

aim is to establish a single point of failure to build resilience and

redundancy.

• New Energy (Pillar 3): The Committee is actively monitoring

the implementation of the carbon credits offset/monetisation

strategy. While our onshore gas business has achieved

significant emissions reductions through the end of routine

flare initiatives, the carbon footprint is much larger in the

offshore space and is planned to be reduced gradually and

systematically. Management will develop a holistic strategy to

build on the significant emissions reduction onshore to

optimise solutions for monetising or to offset the carbon

credits.

• ANOH: ANOH achieved some significant milestones as follows:

• 17.8 million man-hours without any Lost Time Injury (LTI)

incident. The team continues to pursue the goal of zero LTI

whilst striving to reach steady – state production;

• introduced wet gas into the gas plant on 23October, 2025.

Key commissioning activities – including compressor

modifications, performance testing and reliability runs – are

scheduled for completion in Q1, 2026; and

• first gas export to Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited

in Rivers State on 16 January 2026. This signifies the plant is

now operational with residual construction and

commissioning activities ongoing.

• Funding: as the project evolves from equity risk to debt risk,

management’s critical focus remains on achieving a steady

state of operations before undertaking a global refinancing of

the AGPC plant. A key element of this will be activating the

Vitol SA Prepayment Facility, which was initially stalled due to

delayed NLNG deliveries. Liquidity analysis (first gas scenarios

through December 2025, January & March 2026) indicates

additional funding needs of US$20million – US$50million. Total

project cost to first gas is US$886million (within 20% EPC/

non-EPC overrun of FID), with finance costs up 179%. Equity/

Debt stands at US$420million/US$390million, pending

expected bridge financing and additional prepayment

facilities.

• Gas evacuation pipelines. The initial challenges with the

Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) and Spur Line construction have

been significantly mitigated under a revised execution

strategy. After completion in April 2026, we expect to attain

Ready for Start-Up (RFSU) status by the end of Q2, 2026.

#### Committee report

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the Report of the Risk Management and

Health, Safety, Security and Environment (“HSSE”) Committee for

the financial year ended 31 December 2025. During the year under

review, the Committee held four meetings. The table on the

bottom left shows the dates and attendance records for the

Committee meetings and highlights the changes in the

Committee’s membership.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr Babs Omotowa

and Mr Olivier De Langavant for their exemplary leadership and

invaluable contributions to the Committee during their respective

tenures, and to extend a warm welcome to Nathalie Delapalme,

who joined the Committee during the year under review.

The Committee oversees and guides Seplat's enterprise risk

management framework, operational landscape and HSSE

practices and processes on behalf of the Board. This is done in

line with applicable Nigerian and UK governance regulations and

recognised best practice, through regular engagement with

management, as well as structured quarterly reviews of the key

domestic and international risks, operational targets and HSSE

initiatives across the Seplat Group.

During the year, the Committee worked closely with management

to ensure that the Company’s operational targets and market

guidance were delivered in a safe, sustainable and risk-efficient

manner. In particular, the Company made significant progress in its

End of Routine Flaring programme, advancing Seplat’s

environmental stewardship and emissions-reduction objectives. In

addition, the Company’s onshore assets were successfully

converted to the Petroleum Industry Act (“PIA”) fiscal regime,

positioning Seplat for stronger regulatory alignment and enhanced

operational and fiscal outcomes from 1 January 2026. The

Mr. Ernest Ebi

Chairman, Risk Management

and HSSE Committee

Committee remains determined to ensure that Seplat remains at

the forefront of operational excellence, safety and efficient risk

management.

Highlights of the business carried out by the Committee during the

year are as follows:

• Quarterly review of the Enterprise Risk Register showing risks

across all onshore and offshore assets (including the ANOH

Gas and OML 40 operations). These reviews focused on the

top six critical risks facing Seplat, their respective risk

mitigation outlooks, and the roadmap for maturing Seplat’s

risk management framework. During the year, significant

progress was achieved in integrating the onshore and

offshore risk management processes, governance and

internal controls, particularly in relation to financial reporting

standards and risk management registers, thereby enhancing

consistency and oversight. The Committee continues to

ensure a robust oversight of the enterprise risk framework in

line with the Company’s growth strategy and evolving

operating landscape. Details are contained in the Risk

Management section of this Annual Report;

• Quarterly review of the Company’s operational performance,

including assessing performance against market guidance

and corporate strategy. The review included onshore and

offshore performance on production, alternative evacuation

solutions, well-delivery projects, capital and brownfield

projects, ANOH, asset integrity and process safety

management (including technology deployments), non-

operated ventures, crude oil theft/losses, End of Routine

Flares projects, and security. Details on these matters are

reported under the relevant sections of this Annual Report;

• Quarterly review of the Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”)

Management System and safety achievements across all

Seplat onshore and offshore assets, including the ANOH Gas

and OML 40 operations. These achievements were measured

against the 2025 Corporate HSE Business Plan, and guidance

was provided to management to further strengthen the

Company’s HSE outcomes. Details of the Company’s HSE

performance are reported under the Operational Review

section of this Annual Report;

• Review of the progress made by the Company regarding its

conditional application for the voluntary conversion of its

onshore assets (formerly designated as OMLs 4, 38, 51 and

53) and offshore assets (OMLs 67, 68, 70 and 104) to the PIA

regime. The Committee’s primary focus was to ensure an

efficient conversion process, while remaining apprised of

developments in the evolving PIA regulatory landscape with a

view to ensure continued alignment with Seplat’s strategic

assumptions for the voluntary conversion; and

• Quarterly review of the Legal Risk Dashboard and Litigation

Matrix, which highlight trends in contingent liability, key legal risks

and mitigations, and material litigation involving the Company.

Board Committee Reports continued

#### Sustainability

#### Committee report

Dear Shareholders,

It is an honour to present to you the Sustainability Committee

Report for the year 2025.

In the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Committee held

four meetings. The dates and attendance records for all the

meetings are reflected in the table below. During the year under

review, there were no changes to the membership of the Committee.

The main responsibility of the Sustainability Committee is to provide

an oversight and strategic direction on how Seplat manages its

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibilities and

goals. These are a key element of the Company’s overall strategy

as an energy company committed to “lead Nigeria’s energy

transition with accessible, affordable and reliable energy that drives

social and economic prosperity”. It is hence firmly embedded

within the Company’s governance structure. The Committee thus

closely follows actions taken under the three pillars of the ESG

strategy: Environment (E), Social (S)- both External and Internal -

and Governance (G), under the responsibility of the specifically

created Sustainability Management Committee, chaired by the

CEO. In some cases, strategic initiatives and actions have

continued this year to present the legacy and SEPNU perimeters

separately.

Within the period under review, a key focus for the Committee

was the monitoring of the progress of the actions taken and the

steps achieved by Management towards the flare out emissions

reduction in both the Onshore and Offshore assets, with a specific

challenge concerning the offshore assets linked to SEPNU

integration. A key achievement this year is the end of Onshore

routine flares with the following achievements: commissioning of

the Oben Gas Plant Flare-Out Project; achievement of the

mechanical completion and commissioning of the Sapele LPG;

Madame Nathalie Delapalme

Chairperson of the Sustainability Committee

commissioning of the Ohaji Flares Out facility. This achievement

also delivered a positive financial impact: for Western Assets, the

combined impact of reduced flares penalties and added revenue

from rerouting to gas plants amounts to an annual $15.8M in

2025.Concerning the Offshore, the major drivers for the 2025 flare

out performance was the successful completion, on budget, of

the replacement of the new Inlet Gas Exchanger (IGE) module on

the East Area Project (EAP) platform, located in OML 67. As the IGE

module is an integral part of the Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) extraction

process, this was the main capital project on SEPLAT’s 2025

offshore operations. However, it needs to be noted that equipment

reliability continues to be a critical determinant of flare performance.

In 2025, several significant achievements were made:

• The publication of the 2024 Integrated Annual Report (IAR),

which was the second edition of its kind. This second edition

featured notable achievements including the extensive use of

dashboards to evaluate governance, risk and sustainability

performances. Additionally, it combined all non-financial

disclosures into a single section of the report.

• The successful completion of Project Harmony, with the

achievement of 100% completion and approval of Policies,

\* Non-Executive Directors

\*\* Independent Non-Executive Directors

Processes, and Manuals (PPMs) from both the Board and

Management. Companywide embedding sessions have

commenced with focus on key policy areas including

Corporate Governance, HR & Corporate Services, IT, and HSE.

Furthermore, the update of SEPNU PPMs has also begun.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

• Steady progress of the Tree for Life project: Major milestones

achieved were the implementation of a phased expansion

approach, with 231,028 trees planted to date and operational

capacity being developed to achieve 1,000,000 trees in the

coming years. This initiative is designed to create measurable

environmental impacts and provide socio-economic benefits

to communities by empowering them through job creation

and sustainable land management practices. It also positions

the Company as a leader in corporate environmental

responsibility and sustainable development.

• A steady focus on providing communities with access to

energy, remains a key element of the Company’s DNA. The

hospitals, including an Eye Center and community health

centers delivered across 3 states (Edo, Delta and Imo States),

were fully and successfully powered by solar energy. These

facilities are equipped with 15 KVA solar systems for clinics, 5

KVA backup for theatres, and 6.5 KVA systems for health

centers. This ensures reliable renewable energy source for

critical medical equipment and enhances the hospital’s energy

infrastructure. Since 2023, 11 solar-powered school

laboratories have been successfully delivered to Edo and

Delta States. Each lab features a 6.5 KVA standalone solar

system with a 12-hour capacity, internet-enabled router (with

a 1-year subscription plan), CCTV and alarm systems, and

STEAM learning tools which include practical and creative

ways of learning, to support research and hands-on learning.

• Significant strides have been made in providing community

mini-grids, with the connection of 138 households to solar-

powered electricity in Ologbo N’Ugu community in Edo State.

The Ologbo N’Ugu Mini grid electrification project has

revitalized local commerce and created new employment

opportunities. Its remarkable adoption rate, now exceeding

100% capacity, demonstrates strong community

endorsement and creates an opportunity for strategic

expansion. Access to energy is also a key focus of our skills

and capacity building initiatives, with 53 youths trained in

energy solutions through the School Power Project, engaging

graduates to support the electrification of schools and

hospitals.

Below are some additional highlights of the activities carried out

during the year under the three pillars of the Company’s

sustainability strategy - E, S and G. Further details on the

Company’s sustainability activities are presented pages 108 to 152.

I shall be available at the AGM of the Company to be held on 20

May 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria to engage with shareholders, or if you

are not able to meet me there, I can be contacted via the

Company Secretary.

The Sustainability Committee consists of five (5) members - one (1)

Independent Non-Executive Director and four (4) Non-Executive

Directors. The Committee met four times in 2025, and at every

meeting, members of the Sustainability Management Committee

(SMC) were in attendance. The SMC consist of the Chief Executive

Officer; Chief Operations Officer; Chief Financial Officer; Director,

Legal/Company Secretary; Director, New Energy; Director, External

Affairs & Social Performance; Director, Corporate Services;

Director, Strategy, Planning & Business Development and the

Manager, Strategy, Planning & Business Development. The Asset

Board Committee Reports continued

3.  Regarding the SEPLAT Tree 4 Life Project (Ehor, Edo State):

a. Project Scale-Up: Successfully planted 231,028 trees to

date, with a target of 1,000,000 trees in the coming years.

b. Carbon Credit Readiness: Conducted baseline studies on

an additional 1,000 hectares in line with Verra VCS

standards to support carbon credit eligibility.

c. 2025 Planting Preparation: Delineated and tagged 200

hectares designated for the 2025 planting campaign.

d. Nursery Development: Completed nursery planting and

management of 100,000 trees, alongside 20,000

replacement seedlings and 30,000 additional buffer

seedlings.

e. Stakeholder Engagement: Finalized Standard Operating

Procedures and stakeholder engagement metrics,

engaging all seven impacted and host communities located

within the Ehor Forest Reserve, in Edo State.

f. Community Support: Distributed 23,000 tree seedlings to

members of the project host community (Edo State) to

g. Capacity Building: Trained 230 community members while

sustaining long-term forest maintenance and stakeholder

partnerships.

h. Economic Empowerment: Over N300 million generated in

direct and indirect economic empowerment for community

members through wages earned and provision of logistics.

4. Regarding the Carbon Credit Development and Monetization

a. Project Approval: The Ohaji South Project was approved in

November 2024 by DeHst (Germany’s Emissions Trading

Authority responsible for carbon credit administration and

enforcement).

b. Switch to Verra:

a. The DeHst market closed by the end of August 2025, and

the expiration of the existing approval required a

transition to an alternative carbon market.

b. The Verra Carbon Registry was identified as the most

suitable alternative, offering strategic alignment with

Nigeria, access to the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction

Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) carbon

market, and a longer crediting period of up to 10 years.

c. The transition timeline to Verra is the following: project

listing in October 2025, project validation in December

2025, monitoring and reporting in March 2026, carbon

credits trading and sales in Q3/Q4 2026.

d. Sequestration accounting: Under the Verra protocol,

carbon sequestration is recognized from the year of tree

planting, but independent verification must occur within

the first 5 years. Seplat intends to conduct the first

verification after 3 years of planting, followed by

subsequent verifications every 3 years, with trees

expected to sequester carbon for 40–50 years.

c. Evolution of the National Policy Context: A key element is

the approval in October 2025 of Nigeria’s National Carbon

Market Framework. It aims to generate $2.5–$3.0 billion

annually through carbon credit exports via Article 6

mechanisms and voluntary carbon markets.

5. Regarding the Governance (G) pillar:

a. Corporate Governance - The Legal Team developed and is

implementing a full-year Corporate Governance (CG)

embedding plan within the organization. Each CG topic is

highlighted monthly through email awareness campaigns,

screensavers, training sessions, and workshops, delivered in

collaboration with functions such as Business Integrity, HR,

IT, ERM, and Finance.

b. EITI Membership - Seplat’s EITI new membership

announcement has been communicated through national

newspapers, the company website, and social media

channels, enhancing stakeholder awareness and

transparency.

#### Remuneration

#### Committee report

The Remuneration Committee is a standing committee of the Board

and is comprised of Independent Non-Executive Directors in

compliance with the Nigerian Code and the UK Code. Details of the

terms of reference for the Remuneration Committee and a summary

of the activities conducted during the year are set out below.

The Remuneration Committee is established to ensure that

remuneration arrangements for Seplat’s Chairman, Executive

Directors, Non-Executive Directors, and senior management

support the strategic aims of the business and enable the

recruitment, motivation and retention of relevant skilled personnel

while satisfying the expectations of shareholders. Details of the

Company’s remuneration policy as approved by the shareholders

are outlined on pages 141 to 153 of the 2023 Annual Report and

Accounts. No Director participates in any decisions relating to his/

her own remuneration.

All members of the Remuneration Committee are Independent

Non-Executive Directors in order to preserve the transparency and

integrity of remuneration processes. The Remuneration

Committee meets at least four times a year, and, when required,

the meetings are attended by appropriate senior management of

the Company (such as the Chief Executive Officer and Director

Corporate Services who is in charge of Human Resources), and

external advisers upon invitation.

When proposing remuneration to the Board, the Committee

ensures that:

• the remuneration for Executive Directors is appropriately

balanced between fixed and variable pay elements, which

may include annual bonus and equity-based awards;

Directors’ Remuneration Report

#### From the chair of the remuneration committee

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Remuneration Committee ('the Committee'), I am

pleased to present the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year

ended 31 December 2025.

The Remuneration Report sets out the work of the Committee

during the year and provides context for the decisions taken,

considering the Company's performance, the implementation of

our shareholder-approved Remuneration Policy for the year ended

31 December 2025 and how we intend to implement the Policy for

2026.

Following the transformational acquisition of Seplat Energy

Producing Nigeria Unlimited ('SEPNU') in 2024, the Committee

undertook a comprehensive review of remuneration arrangements

across the wider workforce throughout 2025.  This resulted in the

development of a Remuneration Framework Integration designed

to align and harmonize arrangements across the combined

employee population.  As part of this process, the Remuneration

Committee is proposing certain changes to the operation of the

long-term incentive arrangements (for Executive Directors and

wider long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) participants), which will be

effected through an amendment to the current shareholder

approved Policy. The most significant change is the shift from a

Performance Share Plan to a Restricted Stock Plan, which is

intended to better align shareholders’ interest with those of

Executive Directors and key management and to bring executive

compensation more closely in line with local Nigerian market.

Additional information around this transition is provided in this letter

and throughout the report.

#### Corporate performance highlights

2025 was the first full year of contribution from the

transformational acquisition of Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria

Unlimited (“SEPNU”) (formerly Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited) in

2024, illustrating an ability to operate at scale.  Seplat benefited

from successful execution of several key offshore activities from

the legacy position as an offshore operator, while at the same time

delivering onshore production performance that was the strongest

in recent years. Confidence in business outlook, underpinned by

Seplat’s strong set of financial and operational outcomes, has

resulted in a continued uplift in share price performance for

shareholders and enabled us to declare total dividends in 2025

(including special dividend) of 25.0 cents per share, up 52% on 2024.

Financial highlights also include:

• Revenue growth of 144% to $2,726 million. Adjusted EBITDA

growth of 137% to $1,275 million.

• Cash generated from operations of $1,166 million, up 276% on

2024, reflecting a full year of offshore contribution and

improved operational performance.

• Net debt at year-end of $673 million (down 25% year-on-

year), and debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.53, demonstrating a

robust balance sheet.

• Unit production operating cost of $15.7/boe, down 5% on prior

year. Total capital expenditure of $267 million.

Group production averaged 131,506 boepd, up 148% from 2024

(52,947 boepd), reflecting the first full year of offshore

consolidation and within revised guidance. Onshore delivered 14%

production growth year-on-year, supported by the completion of

the Sapele Gas Plant and new well inventory.

Offshore grew 9% year-on-year on a pro-forma basis, with

performance moderated by the Yoho platform outage.  Other

operational highlights include:

• Independently audited 2P reserves down 42 MMboe to 1,001

MMboe (2024: 1,043 MMboe), 67% liquids. Reflects 2025

focus on maintenance and integrity investments.

• Group 2P+2C increases by 181 MMBoe to 2,486.6 MMboe

(2024: 2,305.4 MMboe), 55% liquids.

• Positive revisions to offshore oil resources reflects stronger

underlying production performance on multiple fields and gas

resource upgrade following inclusion of Edop.

• Recorded 1 LTI on operated assets in 2025. 11.4 million hours

without LTI since September (2024: 11.0 million hours).

The Company continues to build on the enlarged scale of

business. The key areas of 2025 performance and 2024

comparative performance are set out below:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
| Revenue (US$’000 million) | 2,725.9 | 1,116.2 |
| Profit (loss) before tax (US$’000 million) | 497.8 | 266.7 |
| Oil production volume (bopd) | 131,506 | 52,947 |
| Gas production (average daily rate, MMscfd) | 24.3 | 32.1 |
| 2P Reserves (MMboe) | 1,001 | 1,043 |
| Lost time incident frequency rate (‘LTIF rate’) | 0.025 | – |

#### Remuneration outcomes for the 2025 financial year

The implementation of our Remuneration Policy remained closely

aligned with our business strategy, the market, and shareholder

interests.  The Committee calibrated the 2025 annual bonus

Corporate Scorecard around targets linked to the six pillars and

safety element underpinning the Company's strategy.  The 2025

annual bonus scorecard included measures on Safety, ESG,

Financial performance (profitability, cash generation and cost

leadership), Pillar-1 Upstream, Pillar-2 Midstream Gas, and Pillar-3

New Energy.  The 2023 LTIP award measured our success in

delivering long-term absolute and relative shareholder value and

maintaining operational and technical excellence over the three-

year performance period to 31 December 2025.

The diagram below sets out the year end process taken by the

Committee to determine the final incentive outcomes.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| 1 | Assess performance against targets |
| 2 | Review outcomes with management and other  Committees to ensure holistic reflection of performance |
| 3 | Consider outcomes in the context of the wider workforce  and environment |

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

The Committee reviewed the Company's performance against the

bonus scorecard and determined that the Company overall had

performed between on-target and maximum.  The 2025 annual

bonus outcome was 78% of maximum for the CEO, CFO and

COO, broadly in line with the 2024 outcome of 79%, reflecting the

Company's maintained strong financial position, underpinned by

excellent operational delivery across ESG and production.

The management team demonstrated exceptional leadership

throughout another year of significant business transformation and

integration following the successful completion of SEPNU in 2024,

leading to a strong performance out-turn.

The determination of the Corporate Scorecard outcome is

cascaded through the organisation; therefore, it is not only used

for the Executive Directors, but also for the bonuses of senior and

middle management. The Committee is cognisant of the impact

on the wider workforce when determining outcomes using the

process laid out above. The Committee considered the deemed

level of scorecard achievement of 78% to be reflective of the

Company's underlying performance, and therefore no discretion

was exercised in relation to the annual bonus outcome from the

formulaic scorecard out-turn.

The 2023 LTIP awards, for which the performance period ended

on 31 December 2025, will vest in 2026. I am pleased to report that

the Company delivered the highest absolute TSR performance in

the International Oil & Gas TSR comparator group.  Seplat

achieved TSR performance of 264.8%, considerably greater than

the upper quartile of the TSR comparator group, which was 10.2%.

In addition, Seplat’s TSR performance substantially outperformed

the negative oil price growth of –28.8% over the performance

period, thereby triggering the 1.2x Absolute TSR multiplier.

This results in a formulaic vesting outcome of 100% of maximum

(noting that this includes the 1.2 multiplier on the base award which

was awarded to reflect the absolute TSR achieved over the

performance period), prior to the assessment of the broad

underpin of the qualitative review of the Company's operations.

The Remuneration Committee conducted its qualitative review of

Seplat's operations in line with the LTIP underpin and determined

the Company's operations were reflective of the underlying

performance over the three-year period ended 31 December

2025. No downward discretion was therefore applied to the

formulaic outcomes. The resulting overall 2023 LTIP vesting level is

100% of maximum.

Awards granted to Executive Directors are subject to a two-year

post vesting holding period, whereas for all other participants 60%

of these awards will be released immediately, with the remaining

40% being released in equal instalments after a one and two-year

holding period.

#### 2025 LTIP grants

In the 2023 Directors' Remuneration Report, we disclosed that the

maximum 2024 LTIP opportunity levels would be increased to

450%, 360% and 360% of salary for the CEO, CFO and COO,

respectively, only in the event the SEPNU transaction completed

before Q3 2024. As the transaction was not complete by this time,

the LTIP awards for 2024 remained at their normal levels of 300%,

240% and 240%, respectively. Given the ongoing integration of

the two businesses and the desire for an appropriate LTIP

incentive which measures the success of the business post MPNU

transaction, the Committee reported in last year’s Directors’

Remuneration Report that the timing of any enhanced award

would be deferred to later in 2025. The Committee concluded

that, in light of the overall remuneration outcomes and the strong

share price growth increasing the value of LTIP Awards, there was

no requirement to apply the enhanced award level.

Furthermore, the Committee decided, that given these exceptional

share price returns, to restrict the 2025 LTIP Award levels to 250%,

200% and 200% of salary for the CEO, CFO and COO, respectively.

The 2025 LTIP awards are based on Relative TSR performance

against the International Oil & Gas peer group, and a broad

underpin, operated as a qualitative review of Seplat’s operations.

#### Main Remuneration Committee actions and decisions in 2025

We set out below the key Remuneration Committee actions and

decisions in 2025:

• Determined salaries for Executive Directors and fees for the

board chair for financial year 2025.

#### Review of wider workforce and Executive

#### Director remuneration arrangements

Following the transformational acquisition of Seplat Energy

Producing Nigeria Unlimited ('SEPNU') in 2024, the Committee

undertook a comprehensive review of remuneration arrangements

across the wider workforce throughout 2025. This resulted in the

development of a Remuneration Framework Integration designed

to align and harmonize arrangements across the combined

employee population.  As part of this process, the Remuneration

Committee is proposing certain changes to the operation of the

long-term incentive arrangements (for Executive Directors and

wider long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) participants), within the

current shareholder approved Policy, with an amendment.

The review of the LTIP arrangements considered alignment to

strategy, shareholder views market best practice, and compliance

with the Nigerian and UK corporate governance codes. This

included consultation with Seplat Non-Executive Directors,

engagement with shareholder representatives, whose views are

reflected in our proposals.

The key change to the LTIP operation involves transitioning from a

Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) to a Restricted Share Plan (“RSP”)

to provide a more proportionate total package with absolute

shareholder alignment, responding to shareholder feedback

received. The RSP will operate as follows:

• A Business Threshold Performance Underpin (“Business

Underpin”) and Personal Performance Underpin (“Personal

Underpin”) will apply to vesting outcomes under the RSP at

the end of the three-year performance period, with outcomes

determined on a weighted 80:20 basis.

• For 2026 awards, the Personal Underpin will consider the

individual performance ratings for each of the 3 years in the

performance period and the Business Underpin will be based

on KPIs, linked to our 5-year business plan. Indicative KPIs for

2026 are likely to include production volume growth, reserves

replacement, operating cash flow per barrel, cost of

production per barrel, EBITDA margin and cumulative cash

dividend. These KPIs are selected to span three distinct

dimensions of threshold performance: current operational

delivery, near-term financial efficiency and long-term reserve

sustainability. Final KPIs and weightings will be confirmed in

due course. For future RSP awards, the Remuneration

Committee will select the most appropriate KPIs for the

Business Underpin, considering progress against our 5-year

business plan and any developments in our corporate

strategy. Targets are commercially sensitive and will be

disclosed on a retrospective basis. Further details are set out

on page 89.

• A further 2-year holding period will apply.

• Awards may be granted over shares or a cash equivalent

(“Phantom Shares”) to remove dilutive impact of the LTIP.

The RSP is designed to support the attraction, retention and

motivation of key talent and ensure absolute alignment with the

delivery of value to shareholders:

• Reduced quantum: The RSP maximum quantum is reduced

versus the current PSP (maximum opportunity is reduced

from 300% to 150% of salary for the CEO and from 240% to

120% of salary for the CFO and COO. This reduces Total

Compensation levels and dilutive impact, in response to

shareholder feedback. The arrangements have been

designed to ensure that pay levels are not excessive relative

to the Nigerian market where Seplat competes for talent and

remain competitive against international E&P companies. The

Remuneration Committee decided that the CEO’s award should

continue to be set at a higher level than that of the other

Executive Directors, ensuring his total remuneration is aligned with

the market median and consistent with prevailing market practice.

• Simplification: The RSP is based on time-vesting awards (in

addition to the Personal and Business Underpins), simplifying

target-setting and performance assessment processes.

• Strong link to business performance: The Personal Underpin

and Business Underpin ensure performance conditionality at

every level. The Committee retains discretion to scale back

the level of vesting, to ensure outcomes are reflective in light

of underlying corporate performance, maintaining a strong

alignment of award payout to business performance.

• Shareholder alignment: The grant of an RSP award provides direct

alignment between managements’ interests and shareholder

returns in terms of share price appreciation and dividend payments.

• Harmonisation across the workforce: The RSP supports

harmonisation across the workforce, aligning all long-term

incentive plan participants, with the approach already taken

for legacy MPNU individuals.

The RSP will replace the PSP for all eligible long-term incentive plan

participants.  Below Board, the RSP holding period will not apply,

and awards may be settled in a combination of cash and shares.

Executive Director awards will be settled fully in shares.

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

The Committee intends to carry out a full review of the Company's

remuneration philosophy and Remuneration Policy during 2026,

with a view to presenting the revised Remuneration Policy to

shareholders for formal approval at the 2027 AGM, in line with the

standard three-year cycle.

The Committee would like to thank key stakeholders including

shareholders for their invaluable feedback on the current Policy

throughout the year.

#### Proposed operation of the Remuneration

#### Policy in 2026

• The Committee reviewed the current salaries and fees for the

Directors and determined that Executive Directors and Non-

Executive Directors should receive no cost of living

adjustments and no merit-based increases to their salaries

and fees, in line with the approach for wider workforce.

• However, in light of the material expansion in both the scope

and scale of the Executive Director roles following the SEPNU

transaction, confirmed by an organization-wide job evaluation

exercise, the Committee determined that Executive Directors

should receive a 5% increase in base salaries.  This is

consistent with Seplat’s minimum increase awarded for wider

workforce individuals that have also been awarded an

increase in grade post the job evaluation exercise.

• It was also determined that a similar adjustment of 5% should

be applied to the fees for the Chair and Non-Executive

Directors to reflect the material expansion in both the scope

and scale of their responsibilities. A summary of the 2026 fees

are included in this report.

• The bonus will be operated in line with the Remuneration

Policy.  Awards of up to 150% of salary for the CEO and 100%

for the CFO and the COO will be made.  The performance

conditions will reflect the six pillars and safety element

underpinning the Company's updated strategy.

The LTIP grants for 2026 will be operated in line with the amended

Remuneration Policy, in the form of RSPs. Grants of 150% and

120% of salary will be made to the CEO and other Executive

Directors, respectively. Future grant levels will be reassessed as

part of a comprehensive review of the remuneration policy in

2026/27, to ensure that compensation remains appropriate and

not excessive compared to the market in which we compete for

talent and capital.

#### Wider workforce

The robust performance of the Company would not have been

possible without developing all of our people which includes

significant formal training, full support, and incentives to perform to

the best of their abilities.  We recognise that it is also critical for our

employees to feel valued as well as to be paid fairly.

Throughout 2025, Seplat conducted an extensive review of wider

workforce remuneration arrangements, creating a Remuneration

Framework Integration to harmonize arrangements across the

combined population post the SEPNU integration. This included an

organization-wide Job Evaluation exercise and evaluation of

remuneration arrangements across the entire workforce. The

Committee has reviewed the Executive Director Remuneration

Policy alongside the wider workforce Reward Framework review

with a focus on consistency and will continue to review wider

workforce policies across the post-transaction population to

achieve consistency.

The Company operates an extensive range of mechanisms and

instruments for workforce engagement which cover all employee

populations, including a Joint Consulting Committee, an Employee

Union, regular communication on critical business events, periodic

townhall engagement, focus employee group sessions on living

Seplat values, a workshop on remuneration philosophy, the HR

quarterly dashboard, visiting employees, Seplat People's Voice

(SPV) survey and the Whistleblowing Policy.  Following the

acquisition of SEPNU, its employee union remained an important

part of our workforce and continues to be a progressive partner

on collective bargaining conversations.  In addition, we also ran

virtual Town Hall sessions where colleagues had the opportunity to

raise questions and discuss business issues, providing feedback

on subjects including remuneration.  This full suite of mechanisms

was utilised during 2025 to ensure that robust employee

engagement was maintained. Please see page 26 for details of

actions undertaken in 2025.

We are committed to providing an inclusive workplace,

encouraging, and welcoming diversity with a zero tolerance of

harassment and discrimination. Although we don't publish gender

pay data, as we have far fewer than 30 employees in the UK, our

internal audits have shown that there are no equal pay concerns,

with no difference between the pay of men and women doing the

same job.  Our colleague engagement levels show that people

enjoy working at Seplat, but high retention, particularly in more

senior roles, means the pace of change is slower than we would

like.  As a result of this, we have initiatives to support the

development of all women at Seplat and ensure their

development into senior roles, particularly in the technical area.

The Committee considers wider employee pay as context for the

decisions it makes, which has been particularly important in 2025

considering the continued challenging cost of living environment

and the post-SEPNU acquisition period. I am therefore pleased

that we have continued to invest in our reward offering for the

wider workforce whilst working towards harmonizing

arrangements across the combined population post the SEPNU

integration.

#### Engagement with shareholders

The Committee takes the views of shareholders seriously, and

these views are considered in shaping our Remuneration Policy

and practice. If any shareholders wish to discuss the Company's

remuneration arrangements, the Remuneration Committee Chair

would be happy to meet with you. The Board and investor

relations team manage and develop Seplat's external relationships

with current and prospective shareholders, and the Company

regularly monitors shareholder reaction and commentary

regarding its remuneration practices.

The Board and senior management team of the Company are

also available to discuss any issues with shareholders before the

Annual General Meeting. Additionally, the Board maintains a

dialogue with shareholders outside the AGM to foster mutual

understanding of objectives and to gain a balanced view of key

issues and concerns of shareholders.

#### Remuneration and Sustainability at Seplat

The Remuneration Committee plays a vital role in ensuring that our

Remuneration Policy aligns with the successful execution of our

strategy. In line with this commitment, remuneration for Directors,

senior management and the wider workforce is intricately tied to

achieving Company objectives which includes progressively

building sustainability in the business and achieving our energy

transition goals.  The Remuneration Committee, overseen by the

Board, set and reviews the Corporate Scorecard that covers our

strategy execution in detail.  This scorecard incorporates specific

climate-related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) designed to

measure and incentivise progress in line with our sustainability

objectives. Further information on KPIs related to our GHG

emissions can be found on page 113.

In 2025, 30% of the KPIs on our Corporate Scorecard were

dedicated to ESG targets, which included a 5% component to

achieving targets related to Seplat's end-of-routine flaring

program and the Company fully achieved all the stretch targets on

the program.  The total out-turn of the scorecard impacted

Executive Directors' performance bonus payout, demonstrating

that Seplat clearly links executives' pay to achieving sustainability

goals.

Similarly, sustainability goals are integrated into the Corporate

Scorecard for 2026, with a weighting of 25%, including measures

in relation to flares reduction. This proactive strategy emphasises

our dedication to aligning financial incentives with our sustainability

agenda, ensuring the Company's leadership is actively invested

and accountable for realising our environmental objectives.

#### Summary

I hope that you find the information in this report helpful, and I look

forward to your support at the Company's AGM.  I am always

happy to hear from the Company's shareholders and you can

contact me via the Director, Corporate Services, Steve Ojeh, if you

have any questions on this report or more generally in relation to

the Company's remuneration.

Finally, I want to recognise that the Company's performance would

not be possible without the continued commitment, resilience and

flexibility shown by our employees.  To all colleagues - thank you

for your hard work and commitment to making Seplat Energy the

robust business it remains today.

#### Notes

This report has been prepared taking into account the principles of

Schedule 8 to the Large and Medium-sized Companies and

Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 as amended,

the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the 'Code')

and the Listing Rules.

As Seplat is a Nigerian registered company, this report has also

been prepared considering the disclosure requirements under

Nigerian law, and specifically the Companies and Allied Matters

Act (CAMA). These rules, require the remuneration of all Directors,

other than the Chief Executive Officer, to be approved by

shareholders at the AGM.

The report consists of four sections:

(pages 81 to 82);

• the At-a-Glance section (pages 87 to 90);

• A summary of the amendments to the current shareholder

approved remuneration policy and 2026 implementation;

• the Annual Report on Remuneration which sets out payments

made to the Directors and details the link between Company

performance and remuneration for the 2025 financial year

(pages 94 to 99).

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

#### At a glance

#### Introduction

| Roger Brown (CEO) | 2025 | 1,117 | 390 | 190 | 1,307 | 3,003 | 2,779,181 |
| 2024 | 1,093 | 467 | 186 | 1,726 | 3,472 | 1,733,345 |
| Samson Ezugworie (COO)6 | 2025 | 810 | 169 | 138 | 631 | 1,747 | 1,509,650 |
| 2024 | 792 | 209 | 135 | 782 | 1,918 | 514,575 |
| Eleanor Adaralegbe (CFO)7 | 2025 | 770 | 151 | 131 | 601 | 1,653 | 581,735 |
| 2024 | 467 | 171 | 79 | 553 | 1,270 | 282,017 |

1. Salaries for Executive Directors are set in USD – 2025 annual base salaries were $1,116,687.80 (inclusive of residency allowance) for the CEO, $809,512.00 for the COO, and $770,000 for the

CFO, all inclusive of housing and 13th month allowances.

2. The taxable benefits for each Executive Director comprise those which are quantifiable.  Benefits include insurance, which was to the value of $$55,927, $59,510, and $45,242 are for the

CEO, COO and CFO respectively in 2025.  Note that the insurance benefit is not taxable in Nigeria.

3. Pension contributions are provided as a cash supplement/contribution to retirement savings account.

4. Bonus relates to the year it was earned and includes the deferred proportion of the award.

5. The value of the 2023 LTIP awards vesting in 2026 is shown in 2025 as the performance period ended on 31December 2025. Relevant share price is $3.70, being 2025 Q4 average share

price of £2.743 per share at £1: $1.3488.

6. The COO joined the Company in July 2022 and did not receive a 2022 LTIP Award.  LTIP represented under 2024 for the COO relates to sign-on bonus award received in 2022, with final

vesting date of 01 July 2024.  Relevant share price is $2.51, being the closing share price on final vesting date of £1.985 per share at £1: $1.3488.

7. The CFO joined the Board on 01 May 2024 and all values stated for 2024 relate to her 8-months’ period of service as CFO in 2024.

Further detail regarding the disclosures in the table above is presented in the Annual Report on Remuneration on page 94.

#### Variable pay outcomes for 2025

We set out below a summary of the 2025 annual bonus performance outcomes, together with details of the determination of the vesting

of the 2023 LTIP, whose performance period ended on 31 December 2025.  Further details are set out in the Annual Report on

Remuneration on pages 95 to 102.

#### 2025 Annual Performance Bonus Assessment

The Committee calibrated the Executive Directors’ bonus scorecard around targets linked to production, operational efficiency, technical

growth projects, financial, health and safety and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”).  The Committee also reviewed the

Company’s performance against the bonus scorecard and established that the Company overall had performed between on-target and

maximum such that all Executive Directors achieved 78% of maximum, broadly in line with the 2024 outcome of 79%, reflecting the

Company's maintained strong financial position, underpinned by excellent operational delivery across ESG and production.

#### 2023 LTIP Awards Vesting

The 2023 LTIP awards are due to vest in 2026; however, the performance period for these awards ended on 31 December 2025 and an

estimate of their value is therefore included in the single figure table above, which will be restated in next year’s Annual Report on

Remuneration when the share price at vesting is known.

The Company’s TSR was positioned significantly above the upper quartile of the TSR comparator group, and the Company outperformed

oil price growth by at least 10% and achieved absolute TSR above 100% leading to a vesting outcome of 100%, prior to the assessment of

the broad underpin of the qualitative review of the Company’s operations.  The Remuneration Committee performed a qualitative review

of the Company’s operations across 2023, 2024 and 2025 in line with the broad underpin and determined that Company’s operations to

be effective and reflective of the underlying performance over the three-year period ended 31 December 2025, so no downward

discretion was applied to the formulaic outcomes.  Therefore, the overall 2023 LTIP vesting level was 100% of the maximum award.

#### Summary of application of discretion

In summary, the Committee is satisfied that the formulaic outcomes described above are a fair reflection of the performance of

management over the respective performance periods, and in the context of the wider business performance and exceptional returns to

shareholders over the three-year performance period.  Therefore, no discretion has been applied to the variable pay outcomes.

#### Executive Director shareholdings

We set out below how our Executive Directors’ shareholdings compare to the requirements of our policy as at the year end.  A share price

of $3.83 as at 31 December 2025 has been used.  In addition, we provide the pre-tax value of the Executive Directors’ unvested or

unexercised equity awards.

#### Remuneration alignment to performance

The following analysis compares the CEO’s pay against his

remuneration opportunity and Company performance.

#### Actual pay versus opportunity for CEO

The chart below illustrates how the 2025 total single figure of

remuneration for the CEO compares to minimum, on-target and

maximum opportunity in accordance with the remuneration policy

that applied in 2025.  2025 remuneration is slightly above the

maximum opportunity due to the annual bonus paying out

between on-target and maximum and the value of the 2023 LTIP

being at maximum because of the vesting at 100%, alongside

share price growth over the LTIP vesting period.

![6404]()

#### Actual CEO pay versus total shareholder return (‘TSR’)

The Company feels it is critical that CEO pay reflects the returns

delivered to shareholders, where TSR is the core performance

measure chosen to reflect shareholder experience.

The CEO was awarded a 2.2% salary increase in 2025, in line with

the Company’s targeted market positioning.  The 2025 Annual

bonus resulted in 78% of maximum payout, reflecting corporate

performance and industry conditions throughout 2025.  Seplat

remains one of the sector’s stocks of choice by continuing to

perform above the upper quartile TSR.  This is illustrated in the

chart below.

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

#### Implementation of remuneration policy for 2025 and 2026

Following the transformational acquisition of Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria Unlimited ('SEPNU') in 2024, the Committee undertook a

comprehensive review of remuneration arrangements across the wider workforce throughout 2025.  This resulted in the development of a

Remuneration Framework Integration designed to align and harmonize arrangements across the combined employee population.  As part

of this process, the Remuneration Committee is proposing certain changes to the operation of the long-term incentive arrangements (for

Executive Directors and wider LTIP participants), as an amendment to the current shareholder approved Policy.

We set out below a summary of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy operation in 2025 and 2026.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |
| Element | 2025 operation | 2026 Implementation |
| Base salary | The executive director base salaries in 2025 were:  • CEO 1: US$ 1,116,688  • COO: US$ 809,512  • CFO: US$770,000 | From 1 January 2026, executive director base salaries will be:  • CEO: US$ 1,172,522  • COO: US$ 849,988  • CFO: US$ 808,500 |
| 1. The CEO’s base salary includes a dual residency allowance, whereas the CFO’s and COO’s base salaries include Housing & 13th month allowances, in line with  local market practice. | |
| Benefits | On the basis that benefits are dependent on the working location and are either in the form of a cash allowance or the actual  benefit itself, no changes have been made to executive director benefits. | |
| Pensions | Pensions contributions align with the wider Nigerian workforce, at 17%, and will remain unchanged. | |
| Annual bonus | No change to the maximum opportunity as % of base salary, as follows:  • CEO: 150%  • CFO: 100%  • COO: 100%  25% of the Executive Directors’ bonus will be deferred into shares / phantom shares and will be released two years  following the end of the performance year in respect of which the Award was made, subject to continued employment.  The performance conditions will reflect the six pillars and safety element underpinning the company’s updated strategy.  The Committee is of the opinion that given the commercial sensitivity arising in relation to the detailed targets used for the  annual bonus, disclosing precise targets for the bonus plan in advance would not be in the best interests of shareholders.  The performance measures, achievement against targets and the value of awards made will be published at the end of  the performance period, so shareholders can assess the basis for any pay-outs under the annual bonus.  Amendment to Policy for 2026: Deferred element may be awarded in phantom shares. | |
| Long Term  Incentive Plan | LTIP Award, as % of base salary, was as follows:  • CEO: 250%  • CFO: 200%  • COO: 200% | LTIP Award, as % of base salary under the proposed policy, as follows:  • CEO: 150%  • CFO: 120%  • COO: 120% |
| All awards will vest subject to performance measures  (and the Executive Director’s continued employment)  at the date of vesting after three years and are then  subject to a two-year holding period. Malus and  Claw-back will continue to apply to LTIP awards.  The 2025 LTIP awards are subject to Relative TSR  performance against a bespoke group of E&P  companies.  The primary TSR measures will be  moderated by a broad underpin, operated as a  qualitative review of Seplat’s operations by the  Remuneration Committee at the end of the vesting  period, with the application of downward-discretion,  where appropriate.  In addition, to ensure that  remuneration outcomes are not unreasonable the  Remuneration Committee will review any share  price windfall gains at the end of the vesting period,  and make any discretionary adjustments, as  required, in line with market best practice. | Amendment to Policy for 2026: Ability to grant the LTIP in “Phantom  Shares”. Move to a Restricted Share Plan rather than Performance Share  Plan. Operation in 2026 is as follows:  All awards will be subject to a business threshold performance underpin  “the business underpin” based on the selection of key performance  indicators (KPIs) aligned to our 5-year business plan. These metrics will be  assessed over the 3-year vesting period. As at the date of this report, the  committee has not finalised the KPIs but are likely to include production  growth, reserves replacement, operating cash flow per barrel, cost of  production per barrel, EBITDA margin and cumulative cash dividend. Final  KPIs and weightings will be confirmed in due course. A personal  performance underpin will also apply to awards at the end of the 3-year  vesting period.  A two-year holding period will apply to awards from the date of vesting.  Malus and Claw-back will continue to apply to LTIP awards. In addition, to  ensure that remuneration outcomes are not unreasonable the  Remuneration Committee will review any share price windfall gains at the  end of the vesting period, and make any discretionary adjustments, as  required, in line with market best practice. |

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

#### The Remuneration Policy

#### Our remuneration philosophy and principles of remuneration

The Policy aims to attract, motivate, and retain talent to execute our business strategy in a sustainable manner over the long term, align the

interests of the Executive Directors, senior managers, and employees to the long-term interests of shareholders and support a high-

performance culture with appropriate reward for superior performance without creating incentives that will encourage excessive risk

taking or unsustainable Company performance.  Overall remuneration levels have been set at a level that is considered by the Committee

to be appropriate for the size, nature, and aspirations of the business, having taken specialist, independent advice where necessary, to

ensure that the policies and remuneration structure are appropriate for the listed company environment.  As noted above, the Committee

intends to review the Company’s remuneration philosophy and principles of remuneration in 2026/27.

The Policy aims to reflect our remuneration philosophy, which is to:

• provide a competitive, affordable reward proposition, differentiating pay by relevant performance indicators;

• achieve optimal attraction, retention and motivation via regular market benchmarking of rewards; and

• establish performance as a basis for employee reward.

The guiding principles behind the setting and implementation of our remuneration policy are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| Principle | Explanation |
| Aligned | Contributes to the Company’s business strategy and to the achievement of its objectives, values, interests, value  creation and long-term sustainability.  There should be suitable provision of equity awards over the longer term, focusing the Executive Directors on  delivering the business strategy, allowing them to build a meaningful holding in the Company to further align their  interests with those of shareholders |
| Balanced | There should be an appropriate balance between fixed and performance-related elements of the remuneration  package. |
| Competitive | Remuneration packages should be competitive, considering the level of remuneration paid in respect of comparable  positions in similar companies within the industry. |
| Equitable | Fair pay, based on the relative value of the jobs and other appropriate criteria that reflect compliance with applicable  regulations, and corporate culture and values.  There should be an appropriate level of gearing in the package to ensure that Executive Directors receive an  appropriate proportion of the value created for shareholders whilst reflecting pay and conditions throughout the  remainder of the Group, where the Company operates and where it is listed. |
| Inclusive | Gender-neutral, reflecting equal remuneration for the same duties or duties of equal value, and does not differentiate  or discriminate based on gender. |
| Risk-weighted | Remuneration should not raise environmental, social or governance risks by inadvertently motivating irresponsible  behaviour.  More generally, the overall remuneration policy should not encourage inappropriate operational risk. |
| Transparent | Clear, comprehensible, and simple enough to facilitate understanding of the different components of remuneration,  while clearly distinguishing between fixed remuneration and variable remuneration. |

#### How our remuneration structure supports the business strategy

In line with our remuneration principles, the Committee will manage incentive plans for the Executive Directors such that they are closely

linked to the business success, as outlined below:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |
| Build a sustainable  business - Support  increased access to  energy to drive social  development | Drive social development. | Annual bonus  Annual Bonus  The Committee, on behalf of the Board, oversees the corporate  performance scorecard development and assessment, ensuring  that it reflects the company’s strategic framework and  incorporates the business imperatives required to drive its  execution.  Whilst many scorecard elements are financial and operational at  the Executive Director level, they do contain several quality  targets around Health & Safety and Environment, Social and  Governance (ESG), designed to ensure we deliver the longer-  term goals as a responsible and sustainable company.  This scorecard is devolved down into the management line with  an increasing emphasis on the quality and technical component  elements needed to sustain corporate progress.  The content of  the annual scorecard has evolved to mitigate short-term  pressures and exploit short-term opportunities – all aligned to  deliver the longer-term strategic objectives. |
| Focus on environmental care and  reporting. |
| Maximise returns for all  stakeholders. |
| Deliver Energy Transition -  Generate consistent and  profitable long-term cash  flow to support growth of  gas and renewables  opportunities by  developing our upstream  business | Generate consistent and  profitable long-term cash flow by  developing our upstream  business. |
| Create long-term, highly visible  revenue streams by developing  Nigeria’s gas resources. |
| Develop our gas-to-power  business segment and achieve a  world-class capability in  renewable energies. |
| Deliver shareholder value | Share price growth and  dividends (TSR) | LTIP  The value that is delivered through the LTIP is impacted by the  share price growth and dividend equivalents over the three year  period. As such, Executives are incentivized to deliver  shareholder value. |
| Alignment to shareholder  interests | Shareholding requirement  Success will deliver growing management share-ownership with  extended retention periods, claw-back in case of misstatement,  ability to override formulaic outcomes if they are out of line with  corporate performance and sizable personal retained  shareholdings.  This is all working towards aligning the Company’s executive  leadership with the interests of shareholders. |

#### The wider employee population

The General Remuneration Policy (the General Policy) is applicable to all employees and senior managers of the Company and is directed

towards the recurrent generation of value for the Company, the alignment of the interests of the employees and shareholders with

prudent risk management.  Seplat’s general remuneration policy aims to attract, engage, motivate, and retain talent to execute our

business strategy in a sustainable manner, over short-, mid- and long-term goals.

#### Employee value proposition

The Group aims to provide competitive remuneration package for all employees.  The policy, therefore, is to provide industry-competitive

remuneration and various incentive schemes to retain and attract high performing employees, carrying out market benchmarking annually

to ensure this.

To connect remuneration to business performance across the entire organisation, the Executive Directors’ annual scorecard is devolved

down into the management line with an increasing emphasis on the quality and technical component elements needed to sustain

corporate progress.  The Company also continues to cascade the LTIP to management grades below Executive Directors, ensuring a

consistent reward framework.

#### Workforce policies

Seplat operates a few policies which apply to both our directors and employees including diversity, conflict of interests and share dealing.

The Group also operates variable pay plans on a discretionary basis, with pension provision offered to all Executives and employees.

#### Talent development and people management

We support our employee development via various learning initiatives such as individual-tailored training programmes, subscriptions to

various professional bodies and necessary expenditure for planned learning.  We also continue to manage our people well for long-term

sustainable results through active intrapreneurial engagement with line managers.

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

#### Reward structure cascade

The table below illustrates the cascade of our reward structure from Executive Directors to the wider employee population.  As shown

below, senior management and key employees participate in the LTIP and annual bonus schemes.  Additionally, pension contribution

levels are consistent for all employee levels.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Number of participants | Element of pay | Employee level - % of salary | | | |
| CEO | Executive  Directors | Senior  management  (14-18) | Other key  employees |
| Executive Directors, senior  management, other key employees | LTIP | 150% | 120% | 30% – 90% | n/a |
| Executive Directors | Annual bonus – Deferred shares | 37.5% | 25% | n/a | n/a |
| All employees | Annual bonus – Cash | 112.5% | 75% | 35 -75% | 5 – 25% |
| All employees | Pension | 17% | 17% | 17% in Nigeria | 17% in Nigeria |
| All employees | Benefits | All employees | | | |
| All employees | Salary |

#### Employee engagement

The Remuneration Committee oversees the compensation of the Chairman, Executive Directors, and senior management, having regard

to remuneration trends across the Company.  The Remuneration Committee and management are committed to fair pay practices

across the organisation.  The Group operates an extensive range of mechanisms and instruments for workforce engagement which

cover all employee populations, including a Joint Consulting Committee. The Company also holds regular meetings of the Employee

Forum and conducts an annual online survey to gather employee views on a range of matters.

In addition, when setting the remuneration policy and making decisions on remuneration, the Committee references several factors

including the general workforce pay structure, workforce policies, talent development needs and wider stakeholder impact.

#### Gender pay gap and CEO pay ratio

The Committee considered disclosing the CEO pay ratio and the Company’s gender pay gap for 2025.  However, given the Company’s

main operations are based in Nigeria whilst the UK workforce consists of significantly fewer than 30 employees, the results would neither

be representative of our business nor statistically significant, with little to no insight to shareholders.  We will reassess whether to include

this disclosure in future years.

#### Additional information regarding single figure table

The Committee considers that the performance conditions for all incentives are suitably demanding, having regard to the business

strategy, shareholder expectations, the cyclical nature of the markets in which the Group operates and external advice.  To the extent that

any performance condition is not met, the relevant part of the award will lapse.  There is no retesting of performance.

#### Annual performance incentive

Seplat promotes a culture of high performance and uses a scorecard to assess the annual bonus outcome.  The Company performance

scorecard is reviewed annually to ensure strong alignment with Company strategic priorities, prevailing market practice and the operating

environment.  The Committee calibrated the Executive Directors’ scorecard around targets linked to production, operational efficiency,

technical growth projects, financial, health and safety and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”).

In respect of the 2025 financial year, the bonus awards payable to Executive Directors were approved by the Committee having reviewed

the Company’s underlying performance, such that it was comfortable to not exercise discretion in relation to the formulaic outcomes set

out below.  The resulting bonus figures are included in the single figure table.

#### Annual bonus pay-out

The table below sets out the annual bonus earned for the year:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Roger Brown (CEO) | | Samson Ezugworie (COO) | | Eleanor Adaralegbe (CFO) | |
| Achieved  (% of max) | Bonus earned  (US$’000) | Achieved  (% of max) | Bonus earned  (US$’000) | Achieved  (% of max) | Bonus earned  (US$’000) |
| 78% out of 100% | 1,307 | 78% out of 100% | 631 | 78% out of 100% | 601 |

In line with policy, 25% of the current Executive Directors’ bonuses will be deferred into shares and will be released 2 years after the end of

the performance period, subject to continued employment.

#### Long-term Incentives vesting in 2025

The 2023 LTIP awards made to the CEO, COO and CFO (while she was below-board) on 16 May 2023 will vest on 16 May 2026; however,

the three-year performance period for these awards ended on 31 December 2025.  The performance conditions for the 2023 LTIP is

relative TSR measured against a bespoke group of E&P companies and absolute TSR including reference to oil price growth, underpinned

by operational and technical bonus scorecard targets.

The Company’s TSR was positioned between the median and upper quartile of the TSR comparator group, and the Company

outperformed oil price growth by at least 10% and achieved absolute TSR above 100% leading to a vesting outcome of 100%, prior to the

assessment of the broad underpin of the qualitative review of the Company’s operations.  The Remuneration Committee conducted their

qualitative review of Seplat’s operations in line with the LTIP underpin and determined that and determined the Company’s operations to

be effective and reflective of the underlying performance over the three-year period ended 31 December 2025, so no downward

discretion was applied to the formulaic outcomes.  Therefore, the overall 2023 LTIP vesting level is 100% of maximum.

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

The following table presents the number of 2023 LTIP awards that will vest, based on the assessment of the performance conditions and

the resulting value of awards on vesting for each Executive Director.

|  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |
| Role | Number of  2022 LTIP  awards  granted | Number of  2022 LTIP  awards  vesting in May  2025 | Value of  vested awards  (US$’000)1 | Value  attributable to  share price  growth  (US$’000)1 |
| Roger Brown (CEO) | 2,779,181 | 2,779,181 | 10,978 | 6,632 |
| Samson Ezugworie (COO) | 1,509,650 | 1,509,650 | 5,963 | 3,602 |
| Eleanor Adaralegbe (CFO)2 | 581,735 | 581,735 | 2,298 | 1,388 |

1. Based on 2025 Q4 average closing price of US$3.70, and includes dividend-equivalents

2. Eleanor was a below-board employee at the time of award in 2023.

The Committee was comfortable that the vesting value and value attributable to share price growth was commensurate with the

underlying performance over the three-year period and as such, did not exercise any discretion to change the outcomes of the 2023 LTIP.

The Committee also noted that the vested awards were subject to an additional two year lock-up period.

#### Summary of application of discretion

In summary, the Committee is satisfied that the formulaic outcomes described above are a fair reflection of the performance of

management in the year in the context of the wider business performance. Therefore, no discretion has been applied to the variable pay

outcomes.

#### 2025 Long-term incentives

The table below sets out the details of the long-term incentive awards in respect of the 2025 financial year.  The awards were granted on

22 May 2025. The shares are due to vest on 22 May 2028 and vesting will be determined according to the achievement of performance

conditions that will be tested at the end of the three-year performance period on 31 December 2027.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  | Relative TSR measure | |
| Role | Type of award | Basis on which  award made | Face value of  award subject  to Relative  TSR measure  (US$’000)\* | Number of  shares  awarded | Percentage of Relative  TSR vesting at threshold  performance  (median performance) | Maximum percentage of  face value of Relative TSR  element that could vest  (upper quartile) |
| Roger Brown (CEO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 2,792 | 1,039,838 | 25% | 100% |
| Samson Ezugworie (COO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 1,619 | 603,041 |
| Eleanor Adaralegbe (CFO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 1,540 | 573,607 |

\* Face value of award is based on the US$ grant price.

The level of vesting outcome under the primary performance conditions (above) will be moderated by a broad underpin, operated as a

qualitative review of Seplat’s operations by the Remuneration Committee at the end of the vesting period, with the application of

downward-discretion, where appropriate.

In line with the Company’s operation of policy, the share price used to calculate the number of shares awarded was the five-day average

share price prior to the date on which the LTIP Awards were granted.  There is straight-line vesting between the threshold and maximum

in relation to the Relative TSR measure, and vesting will be 0% where Relative TSR performance is below threshold.

The comparator group to be used for assessing relative TSR for the 2025 awards consists of the following companies:  Africa Oil, BM

Energy, Centrica, Capricorn Energy, DNO, Diversified Energy Company, Energean Oil & Gas, Enquest, Frontera Energy, Gulf Keystone

Petroleum Ltd, Harbour Energy, Ithaca Energy PLC, Kosmos Energy, Maurel et Prom, Murphy Oil, Pantheon Resources, Parex Resources,

PetroTal, Serica Energy, Total Energies Gabon, Tullow Oil and Vermillion Energy.

#### 2024 Deferred Annual Bonus share awards

The table below sets out the details of the 2024 Deferred Annual Bonus share awards that were granted on 22 May 2025.  No further

performance conditions will apply, other than continued employment, except in the case of normal retirement in Nigeria, in which case the

service condition is waived. The normal vesting date of the Award will be 31 December 2026 (two years following the end of the

performance year in respect of which the Award is made).

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Role | Type of award | Basis on which award made | Deferred Bonus Shares | Face value of award  (US$’000)1 | Performance conditions |
| Roger Brown (CEO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 176,233 | 432 | Continued  employment |
| Samson Ezugworie  (COO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 79,847 | 196 |
| Emeka Onwuka  (former CFO) | Conditional shares | Annual | 84,677 | 207 |

1. The share price used to calculate the face value of awards was 31 December 2024 of US$2.45.

Directors’ Remuneration Report continued

#### Comparison of overall performance and pay

The graph below shows the value of US$100 invested in the Company’s shares since listing compared to the median of the FTSE All

Share Exploration & Production companies. The graph shows the Total Shareholder Return generated by both the movement in share

value and the reinvestment over the same period of dividend income.

The Committee considers that the FTSE All Share Exploration & Production companies are an appropriate comparator group as it

contains a number of the UK companies that are constituents of Seplat’s TSR comparator group. This graph has been calculated in

accordance with the Regulations.

for the Chairman, USD for Non-executive Directors in 2023, and GBP up to 2022.

2. Udoma Udo Udoma became Board Chairman in April 2024, so change in remuneration compares 9-month chairman value in 2024 to 12-month values in 2025.

3. Bello Rabiu stepped down from the Board on 25 April 2025, and received 6-month loss-of office payment.  So change in remuneration compares 12-month values in 2024 to 10-month

values in 2025.

4. Following the exit of Mr. Bello Rabiu from the Board, Bashirat Odunewu was appointed Senior Independent Non-executive Director.

in 2024 to 10-month values in 2025.

7. Average employees pay year-on-year change is expressed in Naira as a significant majority of employees are paid in Naira.  The numbers are provided for all employees of Seplat.

#### Relative importance of the spend on pay

The table below sets out the overall spend on pay for all employees compared with the dividends distributed to shareholders:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |

#### Sustainability performance at scale

Roger Brown

Chief Executive Officer

2025 saw us make great strides in our mission to deliver

positive sustainability performance at scale. A key part of

this was disaggregating our Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions data

across onshore, offshore and Group, allowing us to better

understand our emissions profile and where we can

implement positive changes.

In support of this, we have created ambitious new targets

for Scopes 1 and 2, as we seek to continuously reduce the

negative impact that our direct operations have on the

environment and our local communities.

#### Sustainability disclosures

#### Basis of preparation

Our operations are closely linked to the natural environment,

making it essential to assess and manage the risks, opportunities,

dependencies and impacts associated with climate change and

nature.

This consideration is foundational to our entire business model, as

reflected in the integration of disclosures throughout the

sustainability report. These disclosures are prepared as part of the

Annual Report and are provided alongside and should be read in

conjunction with the  consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, we incorporate other essential matters such as health,

safety, security, climate change, critical risk incident management,

community relations, supply chain management and diversity and

inclusion.

We take pride in being early adopters of the International

Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, having done so in

2023.

#### Statement of compliance with the ISSB

The sustainability-related financial disclosures of Seplat Energy

have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Sustainability

Disclosure Standards as issued by the ISSB, in line with the

adoption roadmap issued by the Financial Reporting Council of

#### Planning horizons

Development of conventional oil and gas assets is fundamentally a long-cycle

business. Recognising the capital-intensive nature of our assets and the evolving

corporate and regulatory landscape, we adopt short-term and medium-term planning

frameworks that support long-term value creation.

|  |  |  | Definition:  0 - 2 years  We establish yearly  operational and financial  performance targets but  maintain flexibility within  these plans to address  challenges and guarantee  the most effective and  efficient progress toward  achieving our five-year  objectives. |  | Link to planning horizon and decision making:  Decision making in the short term is focused on maintaining current operations, addressing  immediate challenges and achieving short-term financial targets. We establish annual, quantifiable  objectives while preserving adaptability to address emerging challenges. Short-term planning guides  our progress toward medium- and long-term goals, offering measurable targets for continuous  monitoring and evaluation.  Before each financial year, we formulate a business plan subject to our JV partners’ approvals, and a  corporate scorecard that is subject to Board review and approval. These plans outline annual targets to  enhance production delivery and efficiency, contributing to our overarching goals. Achievement against  these targets determines bonus percentages for executive directors and staff across the organisation.  Executive directors receive compensation through a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to discourage  short-term decision making and prioritise long-term Company performance.  Regular business review meetings between the SLT and senior managers assess progress against  annual targets. Flexibility in short-term planning is essential to adapt to unforeseen challenges,  ensuring the delivery of high-quality and resilient services in the most efficient manner possible.  This flexibility may be reduced, or additional investments may be required, in order to manage  project delays and prioritise spending to address unexpected challenges.  Capacity to adjust or adapt our strategy and business model to climate change  over the various timeframes  Our immediate focus is maintaining financial stability amid currency fluctuations and volatile oil prices.  We closely monitor our Naira revenue stream to match our significant Naira cost base, ensuring  resilience against short-term currency risks. Additionally, we continuously assess the performance of  our assets and evacuation routes, allowing us to swiftly adjust our capital allocation strategy to  optimise cash generation and maintain financial flexibility. |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  | Definition:  2 - 5 years  Medium-term planning  involves balancing our  short-term operational  needs and long-term  strategic vision. Our  medium-term goals  contribute to the  achievement of our broader  strategic objectives. |  | Link to planning horizon:  Our ten-year business plan established objectives for 2021–2030, and we are formulating our  strategy for 2030-2050. Our long-term delivery strategy is seamlessly integrated into our medium-  term targets, guiding us as we progress our overarching long-term plans.  Capacity to adjust or adapt our strategy and business model to climate change  over the various timeframes  We are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing our adaptability to climate change over the  medium term. This involves refining our capital allocation strategy and closely monitoring emerging  climate-related risks and opportunities, such as shifts in regulatory frameworks or advancements in  renewable energy technologies.

Governance

#### Skills, competencies and continuous improvement

The Board Sustainability Committee, in collaboration with the SLT and

the SMC, regularly evaluates the skills and competencies required to

oversee sustainability- and climate-related risks. This includes:

• Conducting periodic skills gap analyses as an input for

building relevant capacities

• Implementing tailored training programmes focused on new

developments in sustainability reporting standards, emerging

regulations and best practices in climate risk management

• Integrating feedback from external advisors and industry

peers ensures our governance practices remain robust and

forward looking

Members of the Board Sustainability Committee are expected to

possess a combination of the following skills, competencies and

experience to fulfil their responsibilities to the Board effectively:

• A proven track record of practical stakeholder engagement skills

• Strong competence in sustainability advocacy, policy

formulation and strategic thinking, as well as financial

reporting and disclosure

• A deep understanding of the sustainability reporting environment

• The ability to assess sustainability- and climate-related risks

effectively.

Through a clear allocation of responsibilities, rigorous oversight

mechanisms and continuous enhancement of skills and

competencies, Seplat Energy ensures that sustainability- and

climate-related risks are managed effectively and transparently.

This comprehensive approach meets the requirements of IFRS S1

and S2 and reinforces our commitment to sustainable long-term

value creation.

Board and committee meetings are held at least quarterly, with

additional sessions convened as needed to address emerging

risks or regulatory changes. This ensures that our governance

framework remains responsive, and that all material sustainability-

and climate-related information is consistently communicated to

stakeholders.

#### Board Committees’ governance activities

Details of the Board committees’ activities during the year are

provided in the committee reports

Sustainability Management Committee (refer to page [78](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_277))

Risk Management and HSE Committee (refer to page [76](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_271))

Energy Transition Committee (refer to page [74](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_265))

#### Remuneration Committee and alignment with sustainability and climate goals

The Remuneration Committee plays a critical role in ensuring that

our remuneration policy drives the successful execution of Seplat

Energy’s strategic objectives, including our commitment to

sustainability and the energy transition. Oversight by the Board

ensures that incentive structures are closely linked to both short-

term performance and long-term sustainability targets in

accordance with the principles of IFRS S1 and S2.

#### Integration of sustainability- and climate-related KPIs

The Committee sets and regularly reviews the corporate

scorecard — a comprehensive framework that integrates a range

of performance indicators, including specific ESG and climate-

related KPIs designed to:

• Measure and incentivise progress towards our sustainability

objectives and energy transition goals

• Incorporate forward-looking climate-risk assessments

and scenario analysis that align with evolving international

standards

For instance, in 2025, 30% of the KPIs on our corporate scorecard

were dedicated to sustainability targets. Of this, a 5% component

was explicitly tied to the completion of Seplat’s EORF programme

for onshore assets, with all key milestones achieved during the

year. This direct link demonstrates our commitment to integrating

environmental performance with executive remuneration.

#### Quantitative weightings and broader objectives

Sustainability objectives are not only embedded in the Company’s

operational targets but also our remuneration framework, which

applies to all Seplat staff, and represent more than a quarter

weighing of the performance conditions for the Group with

respect to delivery on its annual objectives. The Remuneration

Committee, overseen by the Board, has implemented a corporate

scorecard that incorporates specific climate-related KPIs designed

to measure and incentivise progress in line with our sustainability

objectives.

• Climate and environmental targets: This is evidenced by

the 5% weighting of our flaring programme milestones and

other climate-related KPIs and 2.5% for Seplat’s reforestation

(Tree4Life) programme

• Social objectives: A 7.5% weighting on social targets

covering community development and employee

engagement

• Safety standards: Recognised with a 10% weighting,

ensuring operational safety remains a priority

• Governance: 5% for closed audit actions

This multi-faceted approach underscores our proactive strategy,

ensuring that all levels of management are accountable for

progress on sustainability- and climate-related initiatives.

#### Continuous improvement and external alignment

The Remuneration Committee continually refines the corporate

scorecard based on evolving industry practices and external

disclosure requirements, including those outlined in IFRS S1 and S2.

By integrating external benchmarks and forward-looking climate

scenarios, we ensure that our incentive structures remain robust

and aligned with global best practices.

Through the diligent work of the Remuneration Committee, Seplat

Energy demonstrates its commitment to aligning executive and

employee incentives with achieving sustainability- and climate-

related goals. This alignment is a key component of our broader

corporate strategy and governance framework, ensuring that

financial incentives drive meaningful, long-term environmental and

social impact. Detailed performance indicators are shown in the

2025 Annual Report and summarised on pages [42](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_136) to 44 reflecting

our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability.

Notes to data tables

• Our reporting methodology adheres to the 2015 GHG Protocol

Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. This

methodology is based on guidance from the IPIECA for

sustainability reporting in the oil and gas industry. We report all

relevant GHG protocol emissions within Scope 1 and 2. ,

• We use the equity method to calculate our GHG emissions

• Data is presented on working interest basis

• Scope 1 emissions arise from flaring, combustion emissions,

process emissions and fugitive emissions from well sites, flow

stations, gas production facilities and office locations

• Scope 2 emissions arise from purchased electricity

consumption at corporate and field logistics offices

• Our GHG accounting system follows the methodologies

outlined in the API compendium 2021

• Our reporting boundaries are detailed on page 110

• Read more about our carbon intensity metrics on pages 115.

• Gross Scope 1 emissions consist of CO2, CH4 and N20

• Flaring makes up around 60% of our operated asset GHG

emissions

• Flare volumes are aggregated on a facility level and include a

combination of metered direct measurements and estimates

from regulator approved individual well test programmes

• We monitor acid gas (non-GHG emissions) at production

facilities to assess compliance against NUPRC regulatory limits

(SOx 125µg/m3, NOx 200µg/m3, COx 10ppm and SPM 250µg/

m3). To improve comparability to other organisations, we intend

to report acid gas (non-GHG emissions) in tonnes as per the

IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards in future reporting as

we established a local methodology for determining

quantitative emissions in tonnes was not available

#### Scope 1 and 2 emissions

In 2025, our onshore Scope 1 emissions (equity interest), which

include direct emissions, reduced by 14% to 389,441 tCO2e from

452,152 tCO2e in 2024. This reduction was primarily driven by

progress in our EORF despite increased production from our

onshore operated facilities. Notwithstanding this year-on-year

increased production, our long-term emission reduction initiatives

have resulted in an overall reduction of 37% compared to our base

year of 2020 for the onshore operations. We remain committed to

further optimising operational efficiency, eliminating routine flaring

and implementing targeted strategies to drive sustained

reductions in our carbon footprint. For onshore Scope 2 emissions,

which cover indirect emissions from the consumption of

purchased electricity, we also achieved a marginal reduction from

1,074 tCO2e to 908 tCO2e in 2025. From our offshore operations,

Scope 1 emissions accounted for 1,682,639 tCO2e in 2025, while

Scope 2 emissions were 545 tCO2e.

#### Scope 3 emissions

We have made progress in calculating and reporting our Scope 3

emissions. In 2025, we continued to report emissions from six (6)

categories from our onshore operations. Looking ahead, we aim to

report on the remaining material Scope 3 categories by 2026,

following the ongoing supplier engagement process and the

establishment of necessary data collection mechanisms. This

approach will enable us to gather accurate information across all

relevant categories, providing a clearer understanding of our

overall emissions impact. Once we establish our complete Scope

3 numbers, we will leverage these findings to identify the key areas

where we can make the most significant impact. By understanding

the main drivers of our emissions, we can concentrate our efforts

on the areas where we can effectively influence reductions

towards achieving our long-term sustainability goals.

#### End of routine flaring

In keeping with our commitment to end routine flaring across our

operated onshore assets by year-end 2025, we successfully

commissioned all EORF projects in Q4 2025. All installed facilities in

the western asset (WA) are operational and undergoing 90-day

reliability runs with flare results of 0.0 – 0.7 MMscf across WA flow

stations. Total WA flare is down from an average of 24MMscf/d in

FY 2024 to 9 MMscf/d in Q4 2025. This represents a reduction in

flare volumes from 9% of total produced gas in FY 2024 to 3% of

total produced gas in Q4 2025. AG flares reduced from 18MMscf/

d in FY 2024 (39% of AG production) to 2MMscf/d (5% of AG

production) in Q4 2025. The successful routing of C2 and C3

components of Oben GP gas plant to SIGP in December was

instrumental to reducing Oben GP flares to as low as 0.5MMscf/d

while performance tuning ongoing to ensure sustenance of

<0.5MMscf/d is ongoing. At the eastern assets(EA), the Ohaji EORF

projects was completed and commissioned at year end with full

value realization expected in 2026.

Sapele Integrated Gas Plant (SIGP) also delivered positive

contributions to the onshore assets in 2025. Commercial

operations were achieved on both mechanical refrigeration

supporting gas production, which has steadily improved through

the year and is currently producing at 40 - 50 MMscfd gross,

further aided by commissioning of the SAPCOM power project.

Beyond the contribution to gas sales, SIGP contributes to reducing

our Scope 1 emissions, thus saving on gas flare penalties. The

plant has also added 7,000 bopd in gross condensates

production capacity (3,150 bopd net to Seplat) to our WA’s liquids

production. Overall, the onshore assets achieved significant year-

on-year reductions of approximately 15%, delivering on our

promise to attain zero routine flaring from 2026 onwards.

#### Advancing our leak detection and repair

#### (LDAR) programme

In 2025, Seplat onshore assets continued its campaign towards

full-scale compliance to NUPRC guidelines on methane emissions

by continuing the LDAR programme in line with regulatory

requirements. The first ever third-party lead, facility-wide fugitive

leak detection campaign across all WA facilities was successfully

completed in Q4 2025. NUPRC accredited third-party OGI

consultants deployed in October 2025 for a facility wide fugitive

leak detection campaign with NUPRC nominees witnessing the

exercise to assure full compliance. The LDAR report has been

issued to the Commission in April 2026 (per the requirements of

the regulation). Remediation of identified fugitive leaks (and other

non-compliances) from the 2025 fugitive leak identification

campaigns is ongoing.

#### Centralised power generation for energy efficiency

The centralised power system for Amukpe, the final element of

Phase 1, is poised to be completed by Q3 2026. Phase 2 activities

are planned for commencement in 2026, including projects to

convert existing diesel generators to either liquefied petroleum gas

(LPG) or compressed natural gas (CNG).

#### Solar generation at the Amukpe warehouse

The solar system in the warehouse was completed in 2025.

Further upgrades are planned for 2026 in line with the projected

incremental load requirements of the warehouse.

#### Carbon credits and pricing

Seplat continues to develop a diversified carbon credit portfolio

spanning engineered emissions-reduction projects and nature-

based solutions. The Ohaji Gas Flare Reduction Project is Seplat’s

most advanced and near-term monetisable emissions-reduction

initiative. The project successfully passed eligibility and financial

additionality assessments for monetisation under the German

compliance market (EUFQD) in November 2024. However,

subsequent closure of that market in August 2025 necessitated a

strategic pivot. The project is now being developed under the Verra

framework and is expected to deliver emissions reductions during

its initial crediting period, while positioning the credits for potential

participation in compliance-driven markets such as the Carbon

Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation

(CORSIA). Following facility completion and the commencement

of flare-reduction activities, emissions monitoring will support

third-party validation and future credit issuance.

In parallel, the Tree4Life initiative is an afforestation and

reforestation programme under the Verra VM0047 methodology

progressing through early development and data-gathering

phases. However, early assessments indicate meaningful carbon

sequestration potential over an estimated 50-year lifespan. The

project is a strategic, longer-dated asset supporting Seplat’s

decarbonisation, ESG positioning and internal offset requirements,

with optional future credit value contingent on tree growth and

survival rate. The formal approval of Nigeria’s National Carbon

Market Framework significantly reduces regulatory uncertainty and

positions carbon credits as monetisable assets, with energy-

sector mitigation projects explicitly prioritised. Seplat is well

advanced under this framework.

The Group continues to prioritise projects and initiatives that

contribute to reducing its carbon footprint, while also leveraging

opportunities within the carbon market. In addition, we are working

towards incorporating carbon pricing into our project evaluation

procedures.

#### Emissions latent in reserves

During the reporting period, Seplat engaged Ryder Scott, our

reserves auditor, to prepare a forward-looking GHG emissions

forecast associated with upstream operations from operated

onshore and offshore assets. This forecast aligns with the year-

end 2025 proved (1P) reserves production outlook. The

assessment covers emissions from flaring (routine, non-routine,

and safety), fuel gas combustion, and fugitive methane releases.

Venting was excluded due to the absence of historical venting

data, with Seplat’s stated zero-venting policy assumed to remain

in place. The forecast period begins in 2026 (the first reserves

forecast year) and extends through year-end 2035 production.

Emissions were estimated using internationally recognised

methodologies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) 2006 Guidelines and the American Petroleum

Institute (API) compendium of GHG emissions methodologies for

the oil and natural gas industry.

Onshore assets (WA: OML 4, 38, 41; EA: OML 53 and Elcrest; OML

40) reflect:

• Fuel gas combustion scaled to forecast gas production, with

modest efficiency improvements assumed.

• A step-change reduction in flaring after 2025, consistent with

EORF targets, while retaining residual non-routine flaring.

• Fugitive emissions scaled to throughput, incorporating LDAR

maturity effects.

OML 55 and OML 56 were excluded as they are not operated by

Seplat.

Offshore assets (OML 67, 68, 70, and 104) rely primarily on

historical operating relationships and throughput scaling. Since the

offshore flaring regime remains under review, the forecast does

not assume an onshore-style flare-out post-2025. Instead, it

preserves the historical distribution among routine, non-routine,

and safety flaring streams. Across the forecast horizon, Scope 1

emissions are driven mainly by offshore fuel gas combustion,

which is significantly higher than onshore fuel categories and

remains the dominant contributor.

Within the onshore portfolio, flaring (WA, EA, and Elcrest) is the

primary emissions source, though its contribution declines after

2025 under the applied reduction assumptions. OML 53 increase

in 2027 over 2026 is driven by the ramp-up to full production on

the ANOH gas project. Consequently, fuel gas combustion and

fugitive emissions account for a larger share of onshore emissions

in later years. Offshore emissions remain throughput-driven,

maintaining historical operating relationships and flaring splits,

consistent with the absence of an offshore specific flare out

assumption as of the reporting date.

#### Water and wastewater management

Water and wastewater management are material to Seplat

Energy, given our operational reliance on water resources and the

environmental implications of our waste streams. We implement

stringent water management practices and state-of-the-art

treatment processes to safeguard local water supplies and

comply with environmental regulations. This proactive approach

not only protects critical resources but also reinforces our

commitment to sustainable operational practices.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Conclude water management strategy for operated assets

• Meter all water sources in the operated assets to achieve

100% coverage

#### Water resource management

In 2025, Seplat strengthened water management across its

onshore operated assets by improving monitoring of water

consumption and usage through the implementation of a

corporate water management strategy that tracks withdrawal,

consumption and efficiency in line with ISO 14046 – water

footprint, reinforcing responsible resource use even in low-stress

water zones. A 2025 water footprint audit was completed across

WA and EA operational landscapes, while a water footprint audit

for the offshore is planned in 2Q 2026. Seplat’s implemented

strategy also enhances contributions and alignment towards

achievement of UN SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation, in particular

targets 6.3 and 6.4, with associated reductions in freshwater

consumption and resource-use moderation.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

#### Produced water

We have established a comprehensive produced water strategy

to evaluate the environmental impacts of produced water

management practices. Across OMLs 4, 38, and 41, this strategy

adopts a holistic approach, beginning with production treatment at

the Amukpe Liquid Treatment Facility (LTF). The primary goal is to

remove water content while ensuring that the output meets the

Escravos terminal's standard of 0.5% basic sediment and water.

Any volumes that fall short of this requirement are sent to the

Forcados terminal, where the terminal operator oversees

additional water-handling procedures before crude lifting.

Furthermore, the water extracted at the LTF is treated to

specifications before being injected into water disposal wells.

OMLs 4, 38, 41 and 53 have achieved zero discharge of produced

water and hydrocarbons because of this meticulous process. In

OML 53, the water produced by Jisike is managed by the terminal

operator, while the Waltersmith refinery handles that from Ohaji.

At the Umuseti production facility, produced water undergoes

primary treatment through API skimmers and a water clarifier,

before being directed to a water retention pond adjacent to the pit

flare, where it naturally evaporates.

For our offshore assets, the produced water for OMLs 67, 68 and

70 is managed at the Qua Iboe Terminal. The process employs

multiple measures to ensure complete separation of hydrocarbon

stream, with the processed produced water treated to less than

0.01% impurities before being discharged to sea. For OML 104

(Yoho), produced water processing is completed on the Yoho

production platform, through a produced water treatment system

to high quality (regulatory standard or better) before being

discharged to sea.

#### Waste management

Seplat deployed a standardised waste management framework

across onshore operational sites, compliant with ISO 14001 and

national regulatory requirements. In 2025, we maintained oversight

and engagement with our licensed waste management

contractors with implemented facility audits to verify compliance

and sustain high environmental performance in the management

of all waste streams. We also conducted regular monitoring and

reporting to regulators, along with employee training and

awareness campaigns on waste handling and safety protocols, to

ensure responsible waste management and to eliminate the risk

of contamination to air, soil, and water during waste sorting and

handling across our facilities.

#### Ecological impact

Materiality

Minimising our ecological impact is a priority for Seplat Energy. We

are committed to conducting our operations in a way that

preserves biodiversity and minimises environmental disruption.

Through rigorous environmental assessments and sustainable

practices, we will manage the ecological risks associated with our

activities, ensuring that we contribute positively to environmental

stewardship and maintain our operational legitimacy.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Establish biodiversity action plan priorities for conservation

• Protect and enhance biodiversity in Seplat-operated areas

• Minimise disruption to wildlife populations

• Implement reforestation programme

• Seplat Tree4Life – commencement of pilot phase

Our targets

• Plant a million trees by 2030

#### Biodiversity and conservation partnerships

Seplat is committed to enhancing and conserving biodiversity

within its operational areas. This aligns with its corporate

sustainability objectives and its biodiversity policy, which supports

UN SDG 15.

#### Tree4life programme

Afforestation plays a vital role in promoting biodiversity

conservation, and we are fully committed to this endeavour. We

continued the efforts on Tree4life project by planting 200,208

trees against 100,000 tree corporate target in partnership with the

Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF). Trained 230 community

members while sustaining long-term forest maintenance and

stakeholder partnerships. Over 300 million Naira ($0.2 million) in

direct and indirect economic empowerment from wages and

provision of logistics generated from Tree4Life programme. We

have also committed to upscale our efforts to plant one million

trees by 2030. The trees selected for planting have undergone

careful consideration, including for climate suitability, adaptability to

the planting environment, growth rate and carbon sequestration

potential.

#### Environmental policy and management framework

In 2024, Seplat introduced a water management policy to establish its

commitment and create a strong framework for aligning our business

operations with strategies that ensure effective water management

(in terms of the volumes withdrawn or consumed), protection of

water quality, maintenance of equitable distribution and reliable

access for all. This policy aligns with Seplat’s environmental

management system as well as established principles governing

sustainable use of water resources.

#### Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plan

Seplat, through rigorous environmental management actions,

minimises and, where feasible, eliminates negative impacts on

ecosystems and communities from its activities. We conduct

thorough environmental impact assessments prior to project

delivery consistent with the EIA Act 1992, as well as, environmental

evaluations for existing operating facilities. We also continue to

implement environmental management plans for all of our

operations. We continue to assess environmental risks, adopt best

practices for waste management, and utilise technologies that

reduce emissions and energy consumption. Additionally, Seplat

continues to implement rigorous monitoring, and mitigation plans

consistent with regulatory standards and best available practices,

to address its impact on air, water and soil, to ensure biodiversity

protection, and gain stakeholders’ support. Regular audits,

compliance with applicable standards, and continuous

improvement of Seplat’s environmental stewardship, which further

supports our drive towards sustainable operations.

Sustainability metrics and targets continued

#### Site planning and conservation measures

As part of its field development and project design process, Seplat

conducts thorough EIAs to identify potential risks, select low-

impact drilling locations, and harness the best available technology

to minimise negative impact to the environment. We have also

implemented water conservation techniques, proper waste

management and site restoration practices. Additionally, adopting

a biodiversity and habitat policy and strategies forms an integral

part of our project design concepts and site selection for our

projects.

#### Compliance and regulatory adherence

Seplat has developed and implemented policies and procedures

that align with national and international legislations, standards,

guidelines and principles applicable to our business sector. As part

of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are also

working towards standardisation of our operations in alignment

with ISO requirements.

We carry out periodic inspections, reviews and assurances of

critical HSE work processes, including via regulatory compliance

audits such as those required by ISO 45001 and 14001, regulatory

facility inspections and OSCP activation across operating facilities.

Further strengthening Seplat's adherence to local and

international regulations.

#### Environmental incident reporting and compliance

In line with our environmental permits and applicable regulatory

obligations, all instances involving the unpermitted release of

hydrocarbons or chemicals into the environment continued to be

managed through our established reporting and response

framework, with timely notification to the relevant regulators,

including the NUPRC, the National Oil Spill Detection and Response

Agency (NOSDRA), Federal Ministry of Environment, and State

Ministries of Environment. In 2025, we recorded 12 recordable

process safety (API RP 754) Loss of primary containment (LOPC)

events, comprising eight Tier 1 and four Tier 2 events. Onshore and

offshore assets each accounted for six LOPCs, with four Tier 1 and

two Tier 2 events respectively. These included hydrocarbon spills

and gas releases. We continued to strengthen spill response,

regulatory engagement, and remediation oversight, while

maintaining our oil spill contingency plan to support effective

management of spill scenarios across our areas of operation.

#### Risk management and regulatory compliance

Through the implementation of its HSE policy, Seplat maintains

robust risk management processes for its operations,

demonstrating full commitment to risk mitigation and adherence

to regulatory compliance. Through our operations management

system (OMS) framework, Seplat continued in 2025 to strengthen

the systems and controls used to identify, assess and manage

both catastrophic and tail-end risks across the life cycle of our

assets. A major milestone during the year was the achievement of

ISO 45001 certification, reinforcing the maturity of our occupational

health and safety management system and our commitment to

continual improvement. In 2025, Seplat recorded 34.1 million man-

hours worked, comprising 11.1 million onshore and 23.0 million

offshore. Following the last Lost Time Injury (LTI) recorded on 13

September, the Company achieved 11.4 million LTI-free man-hours

by year-end, demonstrating continued focus on personal safety

and frontline risk control. Our risk management approach

remained underpinned by established processes including

HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, Control of Work / Work execution

management, SIMOPS co-ordination, and structured incident

investigation protocols. The IRP continued to provide governance

for significant incidents, while Tripod-Beta methodology

awareness further strengthened our incident investigation and

organisational learning capability.

Sustainability metrics and targets continued

#### Health, safety and security

Materiality

The health, safety and security of our employees, contractors and

local communities are paramount at Seplat Energy. We consider

these areas material to our operations as they directly affect our

ability to operate safely and efficiently. Our comprehensive safety

protocols and security measures are designed to prevent

incidents, protect human life and safeguard our assets, thereby

ensuring operational resilience and the continuity of our business.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Maintain zero LTI

• Achieve zero serious injuries in the workplace

• Increase the reporting of near-miss incidents

Our targets

• TRIR of less than 0.348 incidents

#### Health and safety performance

In 2025, Seplat recorded a total of 11.4 million man-hours worked

without recording any LTIs on our operated onshore and offshore

assets between September and December. This was after the LTI

recorded in September 2025, which halted the 29.1 million man-

hours worked without LTI on our operated onshore assets over

three years. TRIR for 2025 was 0.298 (2024: 0.456) and a Lost-

Time Injury Frequency of 0.025 (2024: 0.0).

#### HSE training

In 2025, we continued to strengthen our HSE capability across our

workforce through targeted training and awareness programmes

aligned to operational risk, emergency preparedness and

management system maturity. These interventions supported

both office and field personnel and reinforced the embedment of

our ISO 45001-certified occupational health and safety

management system. Key highlights included:

• Over 50,500 person-hours of HSE training delivered across

the organisation

• 4,440 training attendances recorded across 17 structured

programmes

• Delivery of specialised training in ergonomics, industrial

hygiene, process safety, radiation safety, emergency

response, incident investigation and work execution

management

• Strengthened emergency readiness through Fire Team,

MEMIR, IMS 100/200/300, Fire Fighting Awareness, and First

Aid & CPR training

• Enhanced incident investigation capability through Tripod-

Beta methodology awareness, supporting stronger learning

and prevention

#### Critical incident risk management

Materiality

Effective critical incident management is important to Seplat

Energy as it ensures our preparedness and responsiveness in the

face of unexpected events. A robust incident management

framework enables us to minimise the impact of operational

disruptions and environmental emergencies, thereby protecting

our people, assets and reputation. This capability is essential for

maintaining stakeholder confidence and ensuring the continuity of

our operations under all circumstances.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Achieve Asset Management Systems (ISO 55001 standards)

certification: OML 53 by 2026

Our targets

• Fewer than a two-incident threshold of Tier 1 & 2 incidents

according to API RP 754

#### Process safety

In 2025, we continued to advance the maturity of our Process

Safety Management systems by building on the foundation laid in

previous years. Our efforts focused on strengthening the reliability

of critical safeguards, improving barrier health, safety case

revalidation and ensuring full alignment with industry standards to

protect people, assets and the environment. Across all operations

of both onshore and offshore assets, we sustained a proactive

approach to maintaining safety-critical elements and ensuring they

remain capable of performing as intended.

Onshore operations recorded significant progress in asset integrity

and process safety assurance. Key activities completed during the

year included: process safety awareness training for selected

frontline staff to reinforce operational vigilance and we successfully

performed an asset integrity process safety Audit across all

onshore facilities as well as pre‑startup audits for major projects

that ensured safe operations. Several asset integrity improvement

works were completed, such as Sapele West flowlines integrity

assessment, and others.

Offshore assets also saw substantial improvements aimed at

strengthening the integrity of critical safeguards and operational

safety. Major activities included updates to the performance

criteria for critical safeguards and safety case revalidation as well

as several asset integrity works. We undertook emergency

response drills, SIMOPS reviews, and pre‑ and post‑shutdown

process safety assessments, which further enhanced offshore

preparedness and risk control.

While overall 2025 performance remained stable, the increase in

Tier 1 and Tier 2 LOPC non-third-party) incidents is influenced by

the addition of offshore facilities acquired during the year 2024,

broadening our reporting coverage. All events were thoroughly

investigated, and corrective and preventive measures are being

tracked to address root causes and drive long‑term risk reduction.

We remain fully committed to strengthening operational discipline,

improving barrier reliability and sustaining a culture that

continuously enhances process safety performance across all

assets.

#### Emergency preparedness

Our incident preparedness and response framework integrates

our emergency response plan (ERP) and the crisis management

plan, both of which are structured in alignment with the principles

of our incident management system. These plans are overseen by

our corporate HSE function and implemented by dedicated crisis

management teams and emergency management teams,

ensuring a co-ordinated and efficient approach to handling

emergencies.

#### HSE audits

We performed a series of internal audits, as well as audits of our

contractors' HSE management systems, to ensure continuous

improvement and assurance in our HSE culture.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

#### Asset integrity management

Much of our infrastructure has been in operation for over 40 years,

making it vulnerable to deterioration and corrosion. We employ a

combination of prescriptive and risk-based approaches to

manage the integrity of our assets. By proactively identifying all key

asset integrity exposures, we have implemented remediation

projects to address these concerns. In 2025, we undertook several

key asset integrity risk remediation projects across our onshore

and offshore assets, which included:

• Completing the remedial works on the Amukpe buffer tank

bund wall

• Completing remedial works on telecom masts

• Safe decommissioning of corroded Sapele base office

telecom mast and installation of new 25m lattice tower

• Replacing two high-risk flowlines (Sapele 2L and Ovhor 15S)

• Completing all quarterly Oben NAG flowlines inspections in

2025 to proactively identify defects

• Carrying out repairs on four of Oben NAG flowlines and

restoring the integrity of the flowlines (at the defect sections)

using revoseal composite wrap/clamps instead of carbon

steel sectional replacement

• Completing the Sapele-West liquid flowlines UT/LRUT/PAUT

inspection and identified key defects for remediation

• Completing planned in-plot and dead legs piping inspection

at Oben Gas Plant, Sapele FS and Amukpe FS/AG

• Completing fabric maintenance across two Manifolds and 45

well heads across Oben facilities, Oben Gas Plant and

Amukpe AG compressor stations

• Completing statutory cathodic protection surveys and

remedial works across our Western and Eastern Assets

facilities

• Relocating the Rapele LACT unit offices and access control

away from NUPRC Right of Way ROW

• Completing underwater structures for asset integrity

assessment

• Completing the Amukpe Flow Station storm water design

studies

• Investigating and identifying wells with sustained annulus

pressures in order to come up with adequate mitigations for

continued safe operation of candidate wells

• Commencing well securing campaign with DH plugs and

NRVs

• Accelerated asset integrity restoration activities for risers,

pipings and structures, completing over 1,000 cumulative

repairs and replacements. Sustained platform-based coating

activities across the field

• Successfully executed two nested turnaround maintenances

covering six locations (EAP, Idoho, Ubit, Oso, Usari and Edop).

Carried out various integrity and reliability campaigns including

shutdown valve upgrades, vessel desanding and valve

replacements

• Completing four robotic tanks inspections at QIT

• Completing concrete work repairs on bund walls of eight

tanks

• Commissioned corrosion inhibitor injection system at Ubit GH

We are committed to utilising best-in-class technologies to

prevent corrosion-related flowline leaks. In 2025, we used a new

protective sleeving technology to successfully effect repairs on

four Oban NAG flowlines using revoseal composite wrap/clamps

instead of carbon steel sectional replacement without shutdown

and so avoiding a potential minimum deferment cost of

approximately $230k. In addition to established corrosion-

monitoring methodologies, such as intelligent pigging and

cathodic protection, we also deploy long-range ultrasonic testing

(LRUT), phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and install fixed UT

sensors on selected flowlines. This proactive monitoring of

corrosion rates and wall-thickness loss allows us to identify high-

risk flowlines and take necessary actions, such as increasing

surveillance or implementing total replacements.

#### ISO 55001

As outlined in our Asset Management policy, we remain dedicated

to the responsible, safe, sustainable and cost-effective

management of our assets, infrastructure and facilities. To

reinforce this commitment, we benchmarked our asset

management system against leading international standards and

initiated the ISO 55001 certification process in 2021. In 2022, we

achieved the ISO 55001:2014 asset management system (AMS)

certification for our WA, becoming the first energy company in

Africa to reach this milestone.

Key achievement summary

• Successfully integrated the WA and EA management systems

into a unified ISO 55001 AMS, with both assets undergoing

recertification audit in April 2025

• A total of ten minor nonconformities were raised during the April

2025 recertification audit

• Achieved 100% closure of all identified minor nonconformities

within the stipulated corrective action timeframe by December

2025

#### Security

Nigeria presents significant operational challenges from a non-

technical risk perspective, with militancy and organised crime

posing significant risk to our operations, while criminal activities,

notably kidnappings for ransom, pose the greatest threat to our

staff. Our security function strives to mitigate these risks to ‘as low

as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP) in a highly dynamic

environment that constantly challenges the ALARP assertion. We

conduct regular security awareness sessions for staff and develop

security plans with appropriate measures to safeguard Company

assets and operations. Third-party infractions on our pipelines,

such as illegal connections for crude oil theft, directly impact

pipeline integrity and pose the risk of environmental pollution.

These activities are exacerbated by deepened economic

challenges and high unemployment rates among local

communities. We are adopting a multifaceted approach involving

security measures, community and government engagement and

the implementation of technical solutions to address the challenge.

#### Local communities: stakeholder engagement and relationship management activities

We are committed to strong and transparent relationships with

the communities in which we operate. We prioritise fairness, open

dialogue, co-operation and shared development alongside local

communities. Our engagement process begins with initial

discussions at a project's outset and continues throughout all

phases, including operation and decommissioning. This ongoing

dialogue is vital in helping us avoid delays or disruptions caused by

community concerns. Our engagement activities encompass

proactive conversations, project kick-off meetings, town hall

sessions, monitoring and inspection events, decommissioning

discussions, land acquisition talks and open forums for community

input.

#### Conflict resolution and peace-building mechanisms

Our approach to managing grievances emphasises identifying

complaints and taking appropriate actions that align with our

commitment to serving the needs of our local communities. We

have assembled a dedicated team focused on grievance

management and conflict resolution. We also engage a reliable

and impartial third-party mediator to resolve disputes and ensure

fair outcomes. For intra-community conflicts and land disputes, we

often collaborate with traditional rulers to foster understanding and

resolution. Additionally, state governments play a crucial role in

addressing boundary disputes and claims related to multiple

ownership of wellheads.

#### Supply chain management

Materiality

Effective supply chain management is important to Seplat Energy

as it ensures the integrity and sustainability of our operational

network. We are committed to maintaining rigorous oversight of

our supply chain, emphasising ethical practices and adherence to

environmental and social standards. By doing so, we reduce

operational risks and enhance the resilience of our business,

ensuring that all aspects of our value chain contribute positively to

our overall performance.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Ensure that all suppliers adhere to Seplat’s ethical policies

• Foster supplier diversity by supporting local and women-

owned businesses

• Collaborate with suppliers to build their capacity in

sustainability and responsible business practices

Our targets

• Inclusion of our key suppliers in our Scope 3 emissions reporting

by 2026

#### Our approach to a sustainable supply chain

Seplat remains committed to building a sustainable, ethical, and

resilient supply chain that supports national development,

strengthens local capacity and drives long‑term operational

excellence. Our experienced supply chain team continuously

evaluates the supply chain ecosystem to identify risks and

opportunities across the value chain. We aim to set the industry

benchmark for end‑to‑end supply chain excellence by aligning our

commercial objectives with our core values.

A key priority on our sustainability journey is supplier diversity, with

a strong emphasis on developing local community suppliers and

women‑owned businesses. By supporting these groups to meet

Seplat’s standards, we strengthen their capabilities, enhance their

revenue potential and ensure consistent, effective performance

management.

Our due diligence process for engaging third‑party vendors is

thorough and comprehensive. We apply a standardised technical

evaluation template that assesses regulatory compliance, financial

stability, technical competence and historical performance in HSE

practices. Recently, we expanded our evaluation criteria to include

ESG requirements, significantly enhancing our risk‑screening

process. For certain contract categories, we also conduct audits of

vendor operations to ensure full alignment with our expectations.

During contract performance reviews, we further assess

contractors’ compliance with labour law practices to promote

responsible and ethical operations. Additionally, all contractors are

required to sign off on Seplat’s sustainable procurement policy

and vendor code of conduct as part of every contract, reinforcing

our commitment to high standards of integrity and sustainability

across our supply chain.

As part of our green partnership initiative, we commenced

engagements with our priority group suppliers to track and

monitor their Scope 3 emissions. This enables us to collaboratively

identify emission‑reduction opportunities and strengthen

environmental accountability throughout the supply chain.

Through the integration of ESG principles, strategic supplier

engagement, capability development and targeted sustainability

initiatives, we ensure that Seplat’s supply chain continues to deliver

value responsibly, efficiently and in alignment with global best

practices.

#### Vendor engagement programmes

In 2025, Seplat strengthened its supplier engagement framework

despite the organisational shifts brought about by the Seplat and

SEPNU integration programme. Although the annual vendors’

forum — typically the Company’s primary engagement platform

for sharing operational updates, reinforcing performance

expectations and gathering vendor feedback — was postponed,

Seplat ensured uninterrupted communication with suppliers

through several targeted interactions designed to maintain

transparency and operational stability.

A key engagement of the year was the SEPNU supplier town hall

held on 23 January, 2025, at Eko Hotels in Lagos. Taking place

shortly after the official take-off of the new SEPNU organisation

post change in control, the event provided much‑needed clarity on

the implications of the MPNU divestment. More than 250 suppliers

attended the session, where Seplat communicated transition

milestones, addressed pending payment issues through the rollout

of new invoicing procedures and clarified contract statuses,

growth plans, purchase orders and communication channels. The

session concluded with an interactive Q&A, whose outcomes

were consolidated into a frequently asked questions document to

guide supplier interactions moving forward. This engagement

played a crucial role in sustaining confidence and minimising

disruptions across Seplat’s supply chain.

Sustainability metrics and targets continued

The year also featured the second edition of the Seplat Vendors’

Merit Awards, where 18 outstanding suppliers were recognised

across 10 categories of business excellence. The awards

underscored Seplat’s commitment to fostering high performance

and reinforcing supplier alignment with its values. Additionally, in

November 2025, Seplat engaged its PG1 suppliers under the

Green partnership initiative, sharing its five‑year decarbonisation

roadmap and promoting collaborative action toward emissions

reduction and greener operations.

Beyond these major events, Seplat maintained continuous

engagement through contractor sessions in Owerri and Eket,

ongoing collaboration with NCDMB to deepen local content

development and routine touchpoints aimed at improving

transparency, performance, and operational alignment across its

vendor network.

#### Contractor empowerment programme

The Seplat contractor empowerment programme, launched in

2016, continued in 2025 as a strategic driver of local capacity

development, aimed at strengthening the skills, competitiveness

and technical readiness of Nigerian contractors within Seplat’s

supply chain. The programme targets especially

community‑based contractors, equipping them with the tools,

knowledge and support needed to meet international standards

and compete effectively for industry opportunities.

In 2025, Seplat delivered two major contractor engagement

activities. The Owerri technical sessions brought together 68

community vendors, offering practical training on procurement

processes, bid responsiveness, and digital literacy - core areas

that have historically limited community contractors’ ability to

participate effectively in tenders. Additionally, the December 2025

‘Meet‑the‑Buyer’ event in Eket engaged over 1,100 vendors,

providing guidance on contracting processes, compliance

expectations and available funding support. This large‑scale

outreach strengthened vendor readiness, improved understanding

of Seplat’s procurement requirements and deepened

engagement with host community suppliers.

A major milestone in 2025 was the launch of the 18‑month

Nigerian content digitisation initiative, delivered in partnership with

the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

Designed to strengthen Nigeria’s human capital and prepare the

workforce for a digitally enabled oil and gas industry, the

programme began in November 2025 and spans all six

geopolitical zones. A total of 120 participants, 20 from each zone,

were selected through a rigorous, transparent process that

prioritised candidates with strong potential to contribute to the

sector’s digital transformation. Training activities focus on building

critical digital competencies and preparing professionals for

emerging opportunities in the energy value chain.

These initiatives collectively enhanced contractor performance,

improved bid competitiveness, and supported sustainable

business growth. They also reinforced Seplat’s commitment to

Nigerian content development and local economic advancement.

In 2025, our local procurement spend consistently remained

around 95%, further demonstrating Seplat’s investment in local

supplier participation and national capacity building.

#### Inclusion of our key suppliers in our Scope

#### 3 emissions

Seplat’s green partnership initiative is a strategic programme

designed to reduce GHG emissions across its supply chain by

engaging suppliers in the measurement, tracking and

management of their environmental impact. As part of the

company’s broader sustainability and Nigerian content strategy,

the initiative focuses on equipping suppliers, especially indigenous

firms, with the knowledge, tools and technical support needed to

meet evolving decarbonisation expectations. In 2025, the initiative

gained significant momentum through training, technology

development and targeted supplier engagement.

A significant milestone was achieved in November 2025, when

Seplat met with its priority group 1 (PG1) suppliers to discuss the

green partnership initiative and share its five‑year decarbonisation

plan. This engagement reinforced the need for collaboration in

reducing emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and embedding

greener operational practices. Through this initiative, Seplat is

building a more climate‑conscious supply chain, strengthening

local capacity and positioning its suppliers as active partners in

Nigeria’s transition to a low‑carbon future.

Seplat continued to focus on helping suppliers understand and

reduce their Scope 3 emissions, which make up a substantial

portion of the company’s overall carbon footprint. To support this,

Seplat worked with consultants to design and develop a

specialised digital tool (BOONTU) in 4Q 2025 to gather suppliers’

data and to measure and track their emissions. The tool is set for

deployment in 1Q 2026, aligning with Seplat’s long‑term plan to

strengthen emissions transparency across its value chain. To

prepare suppliers, Seplat delivered training on both the updated

supplier policy, now enhanced with sustainability requirements and

the practical use of the BOONTU platform. These sessions

ensured suppliers gained the technical capability needed to input

accurate data and understand their emissions baselines.

The initiative also includes technical support sessions, supplier

categorisation based on technical complexity and upgrades to

Seplat’s internal reporting tools to improve transparency and

streamline emissions management across different supplier

groups.

Sustainability metrics and targets continued

#### Business ethics and transparency

Materiality

Upholding robust business ethics and ensuring transparency in all

our dealings is material to our integrity and long-term success. Our

commitment to ethical conduct builds trust with investors,

regulators and the communities in which we operate.

Our short- to medium-term priorities

• Zero tolerance for bribery and corruption, ensuring full

compliance with local and international regulations

• Commitment to whistleblower protection

• Achieve 100% compliance with conflict-of-interest disclosures

for all relevant stakeholders within the organisation

#### Our Code of Business Conduct

Our Code of Business Conduct, available in multiple languages, is

the cornerstone of our commitment to safety, integrity and

transparency. It sets out the general business principles and

commitments we uphold with our stakeholders and clearly

outlines the values that guide our day-to-day decision making and

interactions. The Code details our expectations for directors, senior

management and employees, and extends to our suppliers,

contractors, consultants and business partners, ensuring that

everyone involved adheres to the highest ethical standards. Our

progress in embedding these principles is regularly reviewed by

our Executive and Audit committees, ensuring that our

commitment remains robust, current and fully aligned with best

practices and international standards.

#### Ethical standards and a culture of integrity

We are committed to conducting our business fairly, transparently,

and with the highest ethical and legal standards. Our anti-bribery

and corruption policy underscores this commitment,

demonstrating our zero tolerance for bribery and corruption in all

its forms. This policy, which is regularly updated, strictly prohibits

facilitation payments, misappropriation, kickbacks and any form of

extortion. It also outlines clear guidelines on the giving and

receiving of gifts and hospitality, managing interactions with public

officials and making political and charitable donations.

Comprehensive reporting, documentation and whistleblowing

mechanisms are in place, ensuring that any violation is met with

immediate disciplinary action. Our policy portal provides easy

access to these rules for all employees, supported by our Integrity

and Compliance Managers who work closely with regional teams

to identify and address local risks.

Similarly, our anti-fraud policy is a cornerstone of Seplat Energy’s

commitment to integrity and transparency. This policy provides all

stakeholders with clear guidance on recognising, preventing and

responding to fraud and misconduct. It delineates the

responsibilities of employees, directors and third parties in

upholding our anti-fraud stance, and includes mechanisms for

fraud risk management — from early detection to prompt

investigation and reporting to law enforcement agencies when

necessary. The policy outlines potential fraud indicators, offers

whistleblower protection and details the steps to be taken

following any findings of misconduct. By fostering a culture of

accountability and ethical behaviour, we ensure that our

operations remain secure, our reputation intact and our business

resilient in the face of fraud-related risks.

#### Managing our supplier relationship

We enforce our anti-bribery and corruption policy throughout our

supply chain by relying on key principles that promote

transparency, accountability and ethical conduct. We conduct

vendor registration using Dun & Bradstreet to verify company

ownership and prevent conflicts of interest, as mandated by our

policy. Employees are required to complete conflict of interest

declarations, while a rigorous bidder selection process — guided

by our internal protocols — ensures fairness and prevents power

abuse. Tender management is carried out transparently through

platforms such as the E-Tender Portal and NipeX, with strict

adherence to taxation compliance, including the provision of

mandatory tax clearance certificates. To further reinforce our

commitment to integrity and ethical standards, we implement

checks and balances in our contracting processes, include the

ABC Policy in our contract documents and provide regular

refresher training sessions for both employees and suppliers.

#### Regulatory compliance

Regulatory compliance is fundamental to our operations and long-

term sustainability. We recognise that strict adherence to local,

national and international regulations not only minimises legal and

financial risks but also underpins our reputation as a responsible

operator.

Our priorities

• Ensure full compliance with all local, national and international

regulations that govern Seplat’s operations

#### Government regulations and policy proposals addressing environmental and social factors

We actively engage with government regulations and policy

proposals that shape the environmental and social landscape of

the oil and gas industry. We strive to align our corporate positions

with regulatory developments while advocating for policies that

effectively balance sustainability, economic growth and energy

security.

We support Nigeria’s Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which

enhances governance, fiscal transparency and community

development, ensuring that host communities benefit from oil and

gas activities. Additionally, we embrace climate-related policies,

including Nigeria’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2060 and

the evolving carbon-pricing frameworks.

On the social front, we uphold local content regulations, promote

workforce diversity initiatives and engage with host communities.

Our advocacy efforts involve collaboration with industry groups,

policy makers and various stakeholders to ensure a regulatory

environment that is practical, progressive and conducive to

business. This approach enables compliance and supports long-

term resilience in the industry.

#### Reporting and disclosures

Over the following pages, we will outline our response to the IFRS

S1 and S2 disclosure frameworks, including how we consider the

risks and opportunities presented by climate change when

developing and implementing our strategy. We also detail how we

determine the materiality of issues relevant to Seplat Energy and

its stakeholders, as well as providing extensive information about

our management of risk.

Sustainability risk management

#### Material issues determination

Materiality assessment provides a strategic lens for identifying and prioritising the

sustainability topics most relevant to our business and stakeholders. It informs our

focus areas, supports decision making and underpins clear and relevant reporting

aligned with evolving expectations.

Building on the materiality assessment conducted in 2024, we

undertook a review of the Group’s material topics following the

acquisition of SEPNU. This process incorporated both internal and

external perspectives to ensure alignment with evolving business

priorities and stakeholder expectations. Extensive consultations

were carried out with key internal stakeholders across the

organisation, complemented by an external survey to capture

broader stakeholders’ views on both financial and impact

materiality. In parallel, we reviewed the evolving sustainability

landscape, including emerging ESG topics, relevant reporting

frameworks, regulatory developments and industry trends.

As a result of this review, three additional material topics were

identified, increasing the total number of Group material topics to

14 (2024: 11). The survey results closely reflected the 2024 findings,

indicating strong alignment and continuity in stakeholder priorities

over the period. In line with IFRS S1 and S2 standards, all identified

topics were subjected to a financial materiality assessment,

evaluating their current and potential impact on the Group’s

revenue over the near to medium term. Based on this holistic

assessment, all 14 identified topics were determined to be material

to the Group, reflecting their significance from both quantitative

and qualitative perspectives, encompassing financial, societal and

environmental impacts.

Our stakeholder engagement encompassed a broad and diverse

group, including suppliers and contractors, joint venture partners,

internal ESG stakeholders, investors and lenders, senior leadership,

board members, government and regulators, host communities,

customers, statutory audit committee members and auditors.

#### Overview of materiality assessment and reporting process

Materiality in the context of the International Sustainability

Standards Board (ISSB) sustainability disclosures refers to the

process of determining which sustainability-related information is

significant enough to be disclosed in general purpose financial

report. In line with the IFRS sustainability disclosure standards, the

Group applies a structured process to identify, assess, and

disclosure material sustainability-related risks and opportunities, as

outlined below:

![Material Issues.jpg]()

1.

Identify

stakeholders

As the first step in our materiality assessment,

the Group determines who the stakeholders

are, including investors, lenders, other

creditors, regulators, customers and the

community, to understand their information

needs.

2.

Define

materiality

criteria

The Group establishes criteria for what

constitutes material information. This often

includes factors such as the potential impact

on financial performance, regulatory

requirements and stakeholder concerns.

3.

Assess

sustainability

risks and

opportunities

In evaluating sustainability risks and

opportunities that could affect the Group’s

performance, the Group considers ESG

factors.

4.

Engage with

stakeholders

Conduct consultations and surveys with

stakeholders to gather insights on what they

consider material. This engagement helps

the Group to align its disclosures with

stakeholder expectations.

5.

Prioritise

issues

Assess sustainability topics in line with IFRS

standards, rank and develop the materiality

matrix to determine Group material issues.

6.

Document the

process

Maintain clear documentation of the

materiality assessment process, including the

criteria used, stakeholder engagement, and

the rationale for the identified material issues.

7.

Disclose

material

information

Finally, disclose the identified material

sustainability information in the organization’s

financial statements and sustainability

reports, ensuring compliance with ISSB

standards.

8.

Review and

update

When there are significant changes in the

business environment, stakeholder

expectations, or regulatory requirements, the

Group reviews and reassesses its material

topics. For example, following the acquisition of

SEPNU, we conducted a Group-wide review to

ensure our priorities remain relevant and aligned.

Sustainability risk management continued

We assessed sustainability-related topics for materiality by considering stakeholder impacts and financial significance, using both

quantitative and qualitative criteria.

• Impact materiality reflects the significance of the Group’s activities on the environment and society. To assess this, we

conducted a structured survey to capture stakeholder perspectives on the importance and severity of each topic’s actual or

potential impacts

• Financial materiality assessment: Following the impact assessment, topics were subjected to a financial materiality test to

evaluate their potential effect on the Group’s financial performance over the near to medium term. This assessment was

primarily guided by a quantitative threshold of 0.5% of Group revenue, with topics meeting or exceeding this level considered

financially material. Qualitative factors were also considered, where relevant, to ensure alignment with IFRS materiality

principles. The financial effects of the material sustainability-related and climate-related opportunities are presented below

The following are the rankings of the identified material issues:

#### Top material topics

The top seven material topics remained consistent across the

2024 and 2025 surveys, indicating strong alignment and

continuity in stakeholder priorities over the period.

• Business Ethics & Transparency

• Health, Safety & Security

• Critical Risk Incident Management

• Regulatory Compliance

• Human Rights & Community Relations

• Climate Change and Energy Transition

• Ecological Impact

• Overall, ratings across the 14 material topics averaged

between moderately material (3) and very material (5),

indicating their overall importance both in terms of near-term

financial impact and impacts on society and the environment

• While Diversity & Inclusion and Water and Wastewater

Management do not present a direct financial impact based

on quantitative thresholds in this assessment period, our

qualitative considerations indicate that these topics remain

material to our business due to their influence on costs, risk

exposure, talent attraction and engagement, operational

resilience, regulatory compliance and long-term organisational

positioning and growth. The Group will continue to monitor

and strengthen its approach to these areas in line with its

strategic objectives.

#### Risk Disclosures

#### Sustainabilityrisk oversight

We use a combination of controls, processes and procedures to

support the oversight of sustainability- and climate-related risks

and opportunities. These controls and procedures are integrated

with other internal functions to ensure a holistic and co-ordinated

approach at all levels of the organisation. As part of our

commitment to ensuring alignment with emerging trends and

mandates, Seplat has integrated ESG and sustainability matters

into our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and

register, following guidance from the Risk Committee. Seplat

maintains a risk universe, which aids in identifying critical risks

associated with factors that influence our business strategy and

objectives. In 2024, Seplat conducted a comprehensive review

and update of the Seplat risk universe into five risk categories, one

of which is climate change and energy transition. This update

formally integrated sustainability-related risks, such as

environmental damage and its ecological impacts and climate-

related risks into the risk universe to ensure a more focused

attention on this risk category.

We have identified our sustainability-related risks as applicable to

our material issues, which have been described on pages 141 to

145. These sustainability-related risks have been prioritised relative

to other types of risks applicable to Seplat’s business using our risk

assessment approach as disclosed on page 54 (Mapping our risk).

#### Assessment and identification of sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities

Seplat evaluates sustainability-related risks by soliciting input from

key stakeholders and aligning these risks with its Enterprise Risk

Register to evaluate their significance to the company. During the

year 2025, as part of the overall review of the entire risk universe,

sustainability-related risks, were re-assessed with the associated

critical risk events and impact themes identified. With the MPNU

acquisition, we also expanded our focus to evaluate sustainability-

related risks within our offshore operations.

The key measures identified as necessary to manage and mitigate

sustainability-related risk reflect the core elements of the

company’s overall corporate strategy, which entails evaluating and

taking up opportunities aimed at decarbonising our operations and

diversifying our business into lower-carbon and renewable energy

products.

Seplat conducts risk assessments across various dimensions,

encompassing financial, HSSE (Health, Safety, Security and

Environment), project lead time, reputational, climate change, and

information technology impacts. Each risk category’s severity and

potential consequences are evaluated, resulting in an overall score

integrated into Seplat’s risk matrix. Furthermore, a risk likelihood

versus impact assessment is performed based on Seplat’s risk

heat map, considering the probability and consequence of risk

events occurring.

Seplat has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to track

its performance against material sustainability-related risks and

opportunities, with progress disclosed in its sustainability report. In

our future report, we aim to assess the efficacy of the safeguards

and mitigations implemented to address each identified

sustainability risk. Furthermore, we intend to formulate a resilient

and adaptable improvement strategy, considering the evolving

sustainability regulatory framework, emerging global sustainability

risk factors and stakeholder expectations. Read more on page 147.

#### Establishment of objectives and targets

Once risks and opportunities are identified, management sets

clear objectives and targets for sustainability and climate, often

aligning with the company’s strategic goals and commitments.

#### Implementation of controls and procedures

Following this, we establish controls and procedures to manage

and mitigate identified risks while capitalising on opportunities,

including various measures such as implementing energy-efficient

technologies, conducting audits and ensuring regulatory compliance.

#### Functional roles in sustainability management

Different teams within the organisation, such as Finance,

Operations, Human Resources, Legal, Compliance and Risk

Management, have responsibility for different aspects of

managing sustainability initiatives across various aspects of the

business. Please see pages 112 to 113 for accountability for

sustainability-related issues at senior leadership and Board level.

#### Monitoring and reporting

Regular monitoring and reporting mechanisms are established to

track progress towards sustainability and climate-related

objectives and targets, including KPIs specific to sustainability and

climate performance. Management uses feedback from

monitoring and reporting to adjust and continuously improve

performance against sustainability and climate-related objectives.

This feedback loop helps refine controls, processes and

procedures over time. Furthermore, we engage with our

stakeholders to gather insights and feedback on sustainability

efforts, which supports alignment between sustainability goals and

stakeholder expectations.

We use a combination of controls, processes and procedures to

support the oversight of sustainability and climate-related risks

and opportunities. These controls and procedures are integrated

with other internal functions to ensure a holistic and co-ordinated

approach at all levels of the organisation.

#### Materiality assessment and risk management

In 2024, we conducted a materiality assessment, and this

proactive approach ensured that necessary adjustments to our

disclosure process, including criteria, methods and actions in

response to new information and changing circumstances, are

duly accounted for. The KPIs established by the business are

inextricably linked to the sustainability topics determined by our

materiality assessment.

This exercise formed the bedrock of our assessment in 2025 as

we revalidated our assessment for our onshore business and

carried out a materiality assessment for the offshore business. We

remain committed to continuously evaluating our resources,

capabilities and organisational structures to ensure we can

effectively focus on taking advantage of the identified

opportunities to create value.

#### Continuous improvement and adaptation

Seplat aims to enhance its approach to assessing sustainability-

related risks through various strategies, including scenario analysis,

benchmarking and collaboration with experts, ensuring a proactive

risk management strategy. We are committed to disclosing

criteria, methodologies and impacts of sustainability-related risks

and opportunities, along with regular updates, through periodic

materiality assessments and performance tracking.

#### Risk Disclosures

We recognise that as an energy company operating in the Niger

Delta, our business is exposed to significant risks from climate

change. Reducing the carbon intensity of our operations by

eliminating routine flaring, while growing our natural gas, LPG and

renewable business to supply Nigerians with reliable and sustainable

energy, will allow us to both mitigate some of our exposure to

climate-related risks and position us to play a leading role in realising

the many opportunities presented by Nigeria’s energy transition.

#### Introduction

In accordance with best practice, we consider climate-related

risks under two broad categories: physical risk and transition risk.

The physical and transition risks we have identified, our

assessment of their impacts on our Company and the actions we

are taking to mitigate these risks, are summarised in the Climate

Risk table below. This is followed by a separate section describing

in more detail our understanding of the physical risks to our

business. In addition to recognising the risks, we see climate

change and the associated energy transition as offering significant

new strategic and commercial opportunities. These opportunities

abound from supplying the reliable, sustainable energy Nigeria will

need in the decades ahead, underpinned by robust demand for

natural gas. Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquified Petroleum Gas

(LPG) are likely to play an increasingly important role in Nigeria’s

energy mix over the next decades in generating electricity,

alleviating severe energy poverty, reducing dependence on biomass

for cooking and achieving a just energy transition. We proactively

established the New Energy business to focus on growing our gas

businesses as well as to explore opportunities in the renewable

energy space. We assess climate-related risks and opportunities

using the same planning horizons and materiality considerations.

| Risk | |  | Type | Impact on Seplat | Timeframe | Mitigation actions |
| Physical | Chronic |  | Sea-level rise,  drought, variable  rainfall patterns | Direct impact on Seplat has so far been  limited but, over time, loss of farmland  and productivity due to drought and  intrusion of seawater into fresh water in  the Niger Delta and other parts of  Nigeria could lead to increased conflicts  over land and food security, in turn,  leading to increased militancy against  oil infrastructure | Medium and long  term | • Periodic assessment of physical risks to our assets,  operations and host communities and positive  engagement with local communities has lessened the  risk of Seplat being the direct target of militancy  • Adding the Amukpe-Escravos Pipeline provides a  second and more secure export route for production  from our Western Assets  • Development of a physical climate risk management  plan |
| Acute |  | Flooding, heavy  rainfall | Impassable roads, storm damage,  interruptions to operations and  maintenance, reduced production,  higher operating costs | Short, medium  and long term | • Seplat’s operations are spread across the offshore,  Eastern and Western Niger Delta thus reducing the  concentration of exposure to specific weather  events  • Our robust Environmental Management System (EMS)  and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) allow us to deal  effectively with any short-term storm damage or  interruptions |
| Transition | Market |  | Increased  uncertainty &  volatility for oil  and gas prices | Significantly lower prices could negatively  impact revenues, profits and cashflow.  Significantly higher prices could  negatively impact the Nigerian economy  and make our gas-to-power, LNG, CNG  & LPG business less competitive  because prices are unaffordable for our  consumers | Short, medium  and long term | • A scenario analysis on page 150 shows that the  Company’s oil and gas portfolio is resilient to both  lower prices and lower demand for oil and gas  • We also hedge our crude prices in advance, providing  additional protection against price volatility  • Our growing gas businesses will add further  resilience while our New Energy business will  provide diversification  • We have long-term agreements in place to sell our gas  production into the domestic market and are working  with the Nigerian government and other stakeholders  to ensure the business model for the Company’s gas  business is robust |
|  | Reduced  demand for our  oil and gas | Limiting global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C  requires global demand for both oil and  gas to decline sharply. This could affect  our ability to sell our products on the  world market and increase uncertainty  around the strategy for our domestic  gas business | Medium and long  term |

| Risk | |  | Type | Impact on Seplat | Timeframe | Mitigation actions |
| Transition | Policy |  | Increased costs  of raw materials | Climate change is likely to have a  growing impact on trade patterns; the  energy transition will have a significant  impact on demand for specific metals,  other commodities and products.  These impacts  may translate into higher  prices for steel, chemicals and other  materials we use in our business | Short, medium  and long-term | • The risk is factored into the business planning process  for the New Energy business. We aim to convert all our  operational vehicles as soon as practicable to gas/  CNG from our field; steady transition to use of gas,  wind and solar power across our locations  • Deployment of biofuels from organic waste |
|  | Repricing and  stranding of  assets | If there is growth in stakeholder  expectations that oil and gas demand  will fall in line with global  decarbonisation goals, there could be a  negative impact on the valuation of our  assets and share price and raise fears  of our longer-term production  becoming stranded | Medium and  long-term | • A scenario analysis on page 150 shows that our  portfolio is resilient to reduced demand for oil  • We are also actively working on developing our gas  resources in the offshore business to provide  additional diversification within the offshore space  • Our growing gas business is expected to play a  significant role in Nigeria’s energy transition as a  substitute for biomass and addressing energy  poverty |
|  | Cost of capital | Our cost of capital may increase if  investors perceive the climate-related  financial, reputational or other risks of  investing in our business are growing or  if we are assessed negatively relative to  our peers | Medium and  long-term | • Our strategy, built on playing a leading role in  Nigeria’s energy transition, together with our  decarbonisation plan, are designed to bolster the  resilience of our business and our reputation and  ensure that investors maintain a positive view of  Seplat in absolute terms and relative to our peers |
|  | Cost of carbon | Seplat is not currently affected by  regulatory emissions pricing, taxation or  emissions trading schemes, and we  expect that it is likely to be some time  before global carbon pricing becomes  a practical reality. We are however  aware of the carbon tax policy drive by  Nigeria's National Council on Climate  Change (NCCC), which is in line with the  Energy Transition Plan (ETP) of the  Federal Government. We understand  that this policy drive will not take effect  in the near future, implying no impact to  us currently. However, we recognise  that such costs could be passed down  through the supply chain and result in  increased operational costs | Medium and  long-term | • We are mitigating our exposure to carbon pricing by  eliminating Scope 1 & 2 emissions from our  upstream and midstream operations as far as  possible via our end of routine flaring programme,  replacing diesel with gas generators, upgrading  compressors, using solar power, enhanced  methane leak detection and repair. In 2025, we  completed our EORF projects at a cost of $32  million reducing gas flare penalties by $4 million on  our onshore operations. We have also  commissioned GHG emission reduction projects  with plans to spend around $3.4 million toward them  in the coming year  • We are also developing the capability to measure  and manage the Company’s Scope 3 emissions. |
|  | Increased  regulation and  reporting  requirements | Nigeria’s Climate Change Act and other  Nigerian and UK regulations introduce  new obligations that Seplat must  comply with. These include a  requirement to implement GHG  emission reduction measures in line  with Nigeria’s decarbonisation goals, a  need for enhanced measurement and  reporting of GHG emissions, and new  climate change reporting requirements  for UK-listed companies aligned with  FCA Listing Rules and the TCFD  recommendations | Short, medium  and long-term | • Stay within the regulatory GHG emission limits and  eliminate routine flaring ahead of Nigeria’s target  date of 2030  • Fully aligned with the UK climate reporting  requirements, while enhancing our ESG  performance and our wider non-financial reporting  by working with ESG rating agencies and other third  parties |

| Transition | Technology |  | Substitution of  oil and gas with  low-carbon  forms of energy | Further rapid development of renewable  energy technologies, including for batteries  and other forms of energy storage,  together with falling prices could drive  renewables to become an ever larger share  of the global energy mix and impact on  demand for our oil and gas | Medium and  long term | • Seplat is playing a leading role in Nigeria’s energy  transition with investments in new energy and  diversifying into renewables |
|  | Cost of GHG  emissions  reduction and  reporting  technology | Adopting technology to reduce emissions,  particularly routine flaring, will have  implications for capital and operating  expenditure | Short and  medium  term | • Our emission reduction plans are already well-  advanced with short and medium-term costs  factored into budgets. We forecast a $16 million -  $20 million increase in profit before tax from  reduced gas flare penalties on operated onshore  assets and sales of previously flared gas in 2026  relative to 2024 performance. |
|  | Unsuccessful  investment in  New Energy  business | Entering into new and untested markets  inevitably comes with downside commercial  risks | Medium and  long term | • We are taking a proactive but prudent approach to  developing the company’s New Energy business.  This includes the use of feasibility studies and pilot  projects to evaluate the technological and  commercial viability of initiatives prior to making final  investment decisions and scaling up |
| Reputation |  | Shifts in  customer  preferences  and  stigmatisation | Like other fossil fuel companies, Seplat is at  risk of being associated with the negative  impacts of climate change | Short,  medium and  long term | • Clearly communicating our role in Nigeria’s energy  transition to our stakeholders, setting and then  achieving ambitious targets to decarbonise our  business and aligning with best practice in climate-  related disclosures |
| Litigation |  |  | Growing  numbers of  legal cases  being brought  against fossil  fuel companies | Increased scientific and judicial  understanding of the link between GHG  emissions and physical climate impacts and  a growing body of regulation raises the risks  of fossil fuel companies being sued in the  courts. | Medium and  long term | • Seplat’s historic emissions are relatively low compared to  other fossil fuel companies with additional benefits from  our EORF projects in the onshore business with efforts  ongoing to replicate same in the offshore space.  • Seplat is determined to comply with existing and  emerging regulatory requirements, decarbonisation  targets, and climate disclosure rules. |

Risk Disclosures

#### Focuson Physical Climate Risk

Nigeria is vulnerable to the physical impacts of climate change. It

ranks 155th in the 2025 Notre Dame Global Adaptation Index (ND-

GAIN). The physical impacts include increased flooding, rise in sea

level and coastal erosion in the South, chronic droughts in the

North, and variability in rainfall patterns throughout the country. The

effects include displacement of local populations, reduced

agricultural productivity, increased intrusion of seawater into

freshwater, and the risk of increased internal conflicts over land

and food security.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| ND-GAIN  Country index rank  155  Score: 38.6 | ND-GAIN Matrix.png |
| Vulnerability: 0.481 |
| Readiness: 0.253 |

“The high vulnerability score and low readiness score of Nigeria

places it in the upper-left quadrant of the ND-GAIN Matrix. It has

both a great need for investment and innovations to improve

readiness and a great urgency for action. Nigeria is the 64th most

vulnerable country and the 180th most ready country.” - Notre

Dame Report

Apart from our offices in Lagos, Abuja, Aberdeen, and London,

Seplat’s operations are in the Niger Delta (Edo, Delta, Imo, and

parts of Rivers States) and our Offshore operations are located off

the shores of Akwa-Ibom state in Nigeria. Spanning over

thousands of square kilometres, the delta is the largest wetland in

Africa and among the three largest in the world. It is vulnerable to

impacts from climate change, particularly flooding, and is

dependent on low-lying mangroves for flood protection.

Nevertheless, to date, these dangers have not significantly

impacted Seplat’s operations. Heavy rains and flooding have, on

occasion, made roads impassable causing delays to the

transportation of equipment and personnel to or from our areas of

operation. Heavy rains can also affect our overall productivity,

particularly due to delays in carrying out maintenance, or from

having to divert resources to repair storm damage(s). However,

any increases in our operating costs from these types of incidents

have so far not been material.

We are in the process of developing a more comprehensive

physical climate risk management plan to ensure that we are

prepared for increased extreme weather events.

#### Leveraging climate-related opportunities

Seplat’s New Energy and Midstream Gas business is emblematic

of our proactive approach to seizing climate-related opportunities.

We adapt to emerging environmental trends through strategic

investments and innovative initiatives and actively leverage them to

drive growth and sustainability. In line with our Pillar 3 strategy, we

are looking at renewable energy and clean technologies. We

believe that this approach will help us diversify and become more

resilient in the changing energy landscape. By taking advantage of

these climate-related opportunities, we hope to contribute to

sustainable development and environmental stewardship in

Nigeria while positioning ourselves as leaders in this field.

#### Risk Management – enhanced understanding of climate-risk

We recognise that climate change and the energy transition have

become critical considerations for the global economy, for Nigeria,

and for our business. This has informed the recognition and active

monitoring of the Climate Change and Energy Transition related

risks at Enterprise level and why climate change considerations

increasingly influence our strategic thinking, risk management

processes, and operations on a day-to-day basis.

However, in Nigeria, as in many other parts of the world, energy

poverty is a fundamental challenge. The inseparability of these

issues is clearly reflected in Seplat’s strategic goal to provide

accessible, affordable, and reliable energy as an intrinsic part of its

role in helping to transform lives through energy.

Our processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks

are built on our increasing awareness of the nature of these risks

and underpins the categorisation of our risk universe to 5 categories

of risk including climate change and energy transition to:

1. Identify and assess the risks under each of the categories

recommended by the IFRS S2

2. Assign a risk rating to each of the categories of risk using the

Seplat 5x5 Risk Assessment framework. This combines the

likelihood of a risk being realised with the impact on Seplat if

the risk materialises; and

3. Consider how these risks can be managed and mitigated.

In the year 2025, the climate-related risks were rated as ‘High’,

consistent with the prior year. This reflects our continued efforts in

managing the risk and ensuring that we are taking action to

mitigate the impact of climate- related risks.

The key measures identified as necessary to manage and mitigate

climate-related risks reflect the core elements of our overall

corporate strategy: decarbonising our operations and diversifying

our business into lower-carbon and renewable energy products.

These have already been described in detail in the preceding

sections of this report and are also summarised in the Climate Risk

Table in the Strategy section of this report.

#### Identification of sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities

We evaluate sustainability-related risks and opportunities in the

context of our internal operations, relationships within the value

chain, relevant regulations, disclosures from peers, and expert

insights. This information is tied to material disclosures through

both qualitative and quantitative criteria. The results are then

analysed using a matrix, where logic and judgement are applied to

identify the most significant risks and opportunities.

Sustainability risk management continued

Risk Disclosures

Geographically, the Niger Delta is susceptible to various

environmental and socio-economic challenges, including

ecological degradation, community unrest and regulatory scrutiny.

Our operations in this area are thus exposed to climate-related

risks such as extreme weather events, sea level rise, and climate-

focused changes in regulatory frameworks. However, the Niger

Delta also presents opportunities for us to demonstrate leadership

in sustainability, community engagement and environmental

stewardship. By implementing innovative technologies, adopting

best practices in environmental management and engaging

openly and honestly with local communities, we can mitigate risks

and capitalise on opportunities to create long-term value for our

stakeholders, while promoting sustainable development in the

region that ensures our continuing social licence to operate.

Adapting to the uncertainties of

#### sustainability and climate-related risks

We recognise the dynamic nature of these risks and have

established robust mechanisms to navigate uncertainties

effectively. Firstly, we conduct comprehensive risk assessments to

identify, evaluate and prioritise sustainability and climate-related

risks across our operations and value chain (details of our value

chain are provided on page [20](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_73)). This proactive approach enables

us to anticipate potential challenges and develop contingency

plans to mitigate adverse impacts.

Secondly, we invest in ongoing monitoring and surveillance

systems to track environmental indicators, regulatory

developments, and community sentiment, allowing for timely

adjustments to our risk management strategies. Through

continuing dialogue with stakeholders, including local communities,

regulatory authorities and investors, we ensure transparency and

responsiveness in addressing emerging risks and concerns.

Thirdly, we emphasise innovation and diversification of our

operations and revenue streams. We are exploring alternative

energy sources, adopting cleaner technologies, and implementing

efficiency measures to reduce our environmental footprint and

enhance resilience to climate-related challenges. Through

continuous improvement initiatives and adaptive management

approaches, we remain agile in responding to evolving

sustainability and climate-related challenges, thereby safeguarding

our long-term viability and creating value for all stakeholders.

Sustainability strategy

#### Strategy

#### Driving sustainable growth at scale

Our strategy is based on sustainable growth and delivering energy transition at scale

for Nigeria. Our drive towards integration along the energy value chain through our

upstream, midstream gas and new energy businesses is a response to our belief that

while oil remains crucial for Nigeria’s development, gas will drive energy transition and

renewable energy is the future. Therefore, when we identify the opportunities and

risks we will encounter in the future, we consider how we can increase value for all

stakeholders in the most sustainable way.

Considering sustainability-related risks

and opportunities in our strategy and

decision making

Sustainability-related risks are multidimensional, ranging from the

impacts of climate change on our markets to the impact of our

interactions with local communities.

At a global level, we recognise the risks associated with climate

change and the urgent need for energy transition that it imposes

on world energy markets. With uncertainties around long-term

future demand for fossil fuels, as well as shorter-term geopolitical

impacts on pricing, we must look at future opportunities as the

energy mix changes towards sustainable sources.

But in our consideration of sustainability, we must look at global

challenges through the lens of Africa, where more than 600 million

people have no access to electricity and more than 900 million

use biomass for cooking, with consequently poor social, economic

and health outcomes across many of the United Nations’ SDG.

Although gas is a fossil fuel, we strongly believe that its extraction

and use can deliver many positive sustainability gains across

Nigeria and Africa if it is used to increase energy access, reduce

the use of biomass for cooking and reduce the use of oil and coal

for power generation. We strongly believe these gains will deliver

disproportionate benefits for Africans, compared to the increase in

emissions involved.

Environmental risks and opportunities are discussed in our

climate-related risk disclosures (IFRS S2), and include physical risks

driven by climatic events such as extreme rainfall and flooding. The

effects of these physical risks could include interruptions to

operations and damage to infrastructure, and so the strategic

priorities for our upstream business are the diversification of export

routes to protect against disruption and assuring asset integrity.

As we make investments to diversify and secure our evacuation

channels, from a business planning and project evaluation

perspective we also increase our range of sensitivities to reflect

the impact of downtime due to infrastructure unavailability.

The geopolitics of energy transition will increasingly influence our

investment choices and energy mix as we evolve the business

through a reduction in the carbon intensity of the upstream

business, increased gas utilisation (CNG, LPG) and new

investments in gas-to-power and renewables. Our long-term

planning includes strategic scenarios at different long-term oil

prices, which reflect potential variance in long-term oil demand.

We will integrate our pathway to net zero into our plans,

considering our resources, pipeline projects and opportunities,

productive capacity and business capabilities.

At the social level, our strategy is situated within the domestic

context of Nigeria. Energy poverty and low human and economic

capital have remained a persistent challenge in the country and

pose a threat to meaningful growth and sustainable development.

Conversely, there is an opportunity to drive social development

through increased access to affordable, reliable and sustainable

energy.

Therefore, our investments in social programmes such as access

to energy, health, education and entrepreneurship reinforce our

strategic focus on UN SDG 3 (Good health and wellbeing), SDG 4

(Quality education), SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG

8 (Decent work and economic growth) in our commitment to

sustainable development in Nigeria.

At the governance and policy levels, these sustainability-related

risks have driven increased regulatory scrutiny and new reporting

requirements. Our strategic framework includes the well-defined

pillar of Environmental care and reporting, and through this we are

committed to global reporting standards and will continue to

report on our progress transparently. Critical to this is the

establishment of comprehensive baselines from which to set

credible medium- to long-term targets that we will articulate and

communicate in due course.

We have developed and will continue to drive the implementation

of robust policies that govern how we conduct our business

internally and how we interact with external stakeholders and the

natural environment.

During the year, we updated our assessment of material

sustainability issues across Seplat Energy, including those relating

to our recently integrated offshore assets. This Group-wide review

ensured that both existing and emerging risks and opportunities

were identified and prioritised, reinforcing our commitment to

embedding sustainability at the heart of our strategy and

operational decision making.

Sustainability strategy continued

#### Strategy

#### Tackling climate change

Central to our strategy to build a sustainable business is a commitment to focus on

environmental care and reporting, committing to global standards and transparently

reporting our progress. In 2025, we completed all our EORF projects across our

operated onshore assets, and we achieved zero-routine flaring operations on our WA.

In early 2026, we have also started to progress towards zero-routine flaring operations

on our operated EA. This is contributing to reducing our carbon intensity even as we

constantly evaluate opportunities to profitably enter power and renewable energy

markets. Our adoption of IFRS S2 in 2023 demonstrates our commitment to reporting

our impact on the natural environment and its impact on our Company.

While recognising the risks of climate change, our focus on

developing Nigeria’s natural gas resources demonstrates our

commitment to increasing energy access while decarbonising

Nigeria’s current energy consumption, which is dominated by the

use of oil-based fuels to power small-scale generators and the

use of biomass for cooking. We believe that tackling these

significant energy challenges in Nigeria will deliver substantial gains

across the United Nations’ 17 SDGs, and the use of gas as a

transition fuel should be understood in the context of the

development benefits it can deliver in Nigeria and Africa.

#### Climate-related risks and opportunities

Our strategy aims to position Seplat Energy as a leader in Nigeria’s

energy transition, while reducing our vulnerability to climate-related

risks.

We evaluate climate-related risks in two primary categories:

physical risks and transition risks, with an emerging focus on

climate litigation. In doing so, we employ a comprehensive range

of macroeconomic and externally sourced metrics to evaluate our

climate-related risks and opportunities. Details of our risk

assessment have been included in our Risk Report on pages

135-146, and we outline our current and anticipated indirect and

direct mitigation and adaption efforts on pages 137-139.

In the short term, our primary objective is to eradicate all routine

flaring from our existing onshore operated assets by the end of

2025. Looking ahead to the medium term, we aim to integrate

renewable energy sources into our operations, while our long-term

goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

These progressive targets underscore our dedication to reducing

our environmental impact and increasing the sustainability of our

operations.

#### Using scenario analysis to assess our resilience

We conducted our annual scenario analysis for the 2025 financial

year to assess shifts in the macroeconomic outlook, technology

developments, policy and legal implications. The climate resilience

assessment encompasses all of Seplat’s cash-generating

portfolios, including all producing assets.

To demonstrate the resilience of the organisational strategy and

financial plans to a range of plausible climate-related scenarios,

Seplat Energy adopted the International Energy Agency’s (IEA)

Global Energy and Climate (GEC) model for the impact

assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities on Seplat’s

strategy. The GEC model uses macro drivers, techno-economic

inputs and policies as input data to design and arrive at the three

scenarios. In designing and developing these scenarios, multiple

factors, including macroeconomic and financial conditions, climate

change policies, risks and opportunities, were incorporated. Each

energy transition scenario yields a range of commodity prices,

environmental fees and taxes.

These scenarios reflect changes to oil prices, with fixed gas prices

based on contractual terms, and crude production forecasts

based on the Company’s Competent Person’s Report (CPR). The

NPV15 (net present value at 15% discount rate) of Seplat Energy’s

portfolio under the selected scenarios remains positive. Apart from

oil price, the assumptions applied in these scenarios are consistent

with those used in conducting impairment assessments for the

Group’s oil and gas properties in the financial statements. Seplat

Energy’s 2025 economic assumptions used in the long-term

business plan capture all the elements that could result in

uncertainties in the evaluation. We have also considered the

impacts of exchange rates, fiscal policies, oil and gas prices and

the effects of planned as well as unplanned maintenance activities

in our analysis.

We plan to factor carbon pricing into future scenario analyses, as

NCCC finalises the specific tax rates and operational guidelines, in

line with Nigeria’s ETP.

The climate-related scenarios consider both energy transition and

physical risks. The decision to apply our chosen climate-related

scenarios is embedded in the definitions of each of these

scenarios, as shown below:

Net zero emissions (NZE) by 2050 scenario

The NZE scenario maps out a pragmatic but ambitious global

pathway for the energy sector to achieve net zero CO2 emissions

by 2050 and is consistent with a long-term goal of limiting the rise

in global average temperatures to 1.5°C (with a 50% probability).

This recognises that each country will have its own pathway,

depending on their circumstances. In the NZE scenario, global

emissions fall by over half by 2035 from their 2024 level and reach

net zero by 2050.

Strategy

Current policies scenario

The current policies scenario (CPS) considers a snapshot of

policies and regulations that are already in place and offers a

cautious perspective on the speed at which new energy

technologies are deployed and integrated into the energy system.

It projects slower growth in the adoption of new technologies in

the energy system than seen in recent years. Consequently, the

CPS projects a somewhat bigger continuing role for traditional

fuels.

Stated Policies Scenario

Stated policies scenario (STEPS) considers the application of a

broader range of policies, including those that have been formally

put forward but not yet adopted, as well as other official strategy

documents that indicate the direction of travel. It does not,

however, assume that aspirational targets are met. It offers a more

dynamic perspective on energy technology and market trends

and projects a slightly more rapid introduction of new energy

technologies than the CPS.

On one hand, two of the three scenarios (CPS and STEPS) are

exploratory scenarios, as they do not assume that aspirational

targets or objectives are met. The NZE scenario, on the other

hand, provides a pathway that assumes an aspirational target of

net zero emissions by mid-century. These three scenarios provide

a framework for evaluating the choices that decision makers face

and the potential consequences of those choices for the global

energy system.

Each scenario has a fuel price outcome (including crude oil price)

as presented in the World Energy Outlook 2025 and is based on

the latest and most comprehensive data on policies, technologies

and markets, together with rigorous modelling. For this

assessment, the IEA price by scenarios has been tested against

our strategic business plan to ascertain the resilience of our

business to climate-related issues and the impact on the

corporate bottom line (net cashflows). The climate resilience

assessment was conducted across all Seplat’s cash-generating

units (CGUs), including all producing assets and office locations.

The time horizons used for the analysis include:

Short term: 0 - 2 years

Medium term: 2 - 5 years

Long term: More than 5 years

In November 2021, at the United Nations Climate Change

Conference (COP26), President Muhammadu Buhari announced

that Nigeria is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2060.

The target acknowledges the challenges related to energy

shortages, poor grid infrastructure and limited electricity

penetration in Nigeria. The immediate goal is to create a more

attractive fiscal, regulatory and risk environment that encourages

more investment in Nigeria’s energy sector so that our country’s

critical energy challenges can be addressed.

In response to these national priorities, we are committed to

reducing our carbon footprint and have set a net zero target of

2050. This target aligns our climate goals with the Paris

Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to below 2oC

above pre-industrial levels.

We are fully committed to the transition of our business towards

supplying cleaner, more sustainable forms of energy. This

commitment is rooted in our recognition of the global and local

impacts of long-term climate change and the short-term volatility

of weather it creates, but with an equal recognition that Nigeria

and wider Africa need reliable and affordable energy to develop

and industrialise and that gas offers many benefits as the logical

transition fuel.

We have also considered that the ecologically significant region of

the Niger Delta, in which we operate, faces heightened vulnerability

to the impacts of climate change, with a specific emphasis on the

risk of flooding. The Delta relies heavily on its low-lying mangroves,

which are crucial for flood protection. Recognising the ecological

importance and susceptibility to environmental shifts, our

comprehensive climate resilience assessment evaluates and

addresses the potential challenges of climate change across the

diverse ecological landscapes in which we operate.

#### Assessing the resilience of our portfolio

IEA’s oil price by scenario and the Seplat business plan price profile

Oil price scenarios ($/bbl)

![9895604676157]()

Using the IEA’s oil‑price scenarios as the basis for evaluation, all assets in Seplat’s portfolio were assessed to determine NPV15. When

compared with the Company’s long‑term business plan (BP) assumptions, the portfolio demonstrates resilience under two of the IEA

scenarios: the STEPS and the CPS.

Under the CPS, oil prices are projected to rise steadily, reaching approximately $89/bbl in 2035 and $106/bbl in 2050. The STEPS scenario

anticipates moderate downward pressure on prices, stabilising at around $76/bbl by 2050. In both scenarios, the NPV15 of all Seplat

assets exceeds the BP base case, reflecting the positive impact of higher price trajectories relative to the Company’s business planning

assumptions.

In contrast, the NZE scenario presents a more challenging outlook. The scenario assumes a sharp decline in global oil demand, with prices

expected to fall to $33/bbl in 2030 and $25/bbl in 2050. Under this scenario, Seplat’s portfolio shows reduced resilience when

benchmarked against the BP case, driven primarily by the significantly more pessimistic price assumption.

To mitigate transition risks associated with a lower‑carbon future, Seplat continues to prioritise investments in gas development, consistent

with Nigeria’s recognition of natural gas as a transition fuel. The Company currently supplies a substantial share of domestic gas‑to‑power

demand, supporting approximately 30% of the gas used for electricity generation in Nigeria. Seplat remains committed to expanding its

gas business and unlocking the sizeable gas resources within its asset base to support long‑term value creation, energy security and a

lower‑carbon energy mix.

In 2025, we complemented the results of our 2024 climate-related physical risk assessment by conducting same for our offshore assets.

We conducted a comprehensive review to evaluate the effects of various changing climatic conditions, such as changes in fluvial flood,

pluvial flood, water stress, annual precipitation, heavy precipitation, high temperature, on our  assets. across the Niger Delta region of

Nigeria. We utilized IPCC climate modelling data that encompasses three future climate scenarios (RCP 2.6 – SSP 126, RCP 4.5 – SSP 245,

and RCP 8.5 – SSP 585) for the timeframes of 2030, 2040, and 2050.

#### Onshore assets assessment

For our onshore assets, seventeen hazards were analysed, with six identified as the most relevant to Seplat's onshore assets in the Niger

Delta.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 17 Hazards analysed  • Heatwave  • Cold wave  • Wildfire  • High temperature  • Temperature variability  • Flooding  • Sea level rise  • Drought  • Precipitation variability  • Water stress  • Ocean acidification  • Heavy precipitation  • High wind  • Changing wind patterns  • Cyclones, hurricanes and  typhoons, tornadoes and  storm  • Landslide  • Avalanche | Analysis for  each site,  and each  climate hazard:  • RCP2.6, 4.5 and  8.5 scenarios  • 2030, 2040 &  2050 |  | Physical  Risk Type | Hazards | Corresponding  indicators | Vulnerability |
| Water  related  hazards | Acute | Fluvial  Flooding | Fluvial flooding (100  year) return period) | Infrastructure  Damage  Operational  disruption |
| Acute | Pluvial  Flooding | Pluvial flooding (100-  year return period) | Infrastructure  Damage  Operational  disruption |
| Acute | Water stress | Water stress (Ratio of  total water withdrawals  to available renewable  surface and  groundwater supplies  (%)) | No evaluation of  vulnerability as the  production seems  not deeply linked to  water need |
| Extreme  weather  events | Acute | Annual  precipitation | Cumulative precipitation  (mm/year) | Destruction of  assets (corrosion) |
| Acute | Heavy  precipitation | Heavy precipitation (>50  mm/day)   - number of  days | Destruction of  assets (corrosion) |
| Temperature  related  hazards | Chronic | High  temperature | Maximum temperature  (Annual maximum of  the daily maximum  temperature) | Operational  inefficiency |

• In the short to medium term, the identified risks are associated

with factors that Seplat is already aware of, regardless of their

connection to climate change, and the company is actively

managing these risks. For instance, certain assets (OML 40)

face significant risks from annual precipitation and pluvial

flooding, while others (OML 4, 38, 41, 53) have moderate risk

exposure to maximum temperatures and heavy rainfall.

Recently, the Niger Delta has seen a notable increase in pluvial

flooding, extreme temperatures, and annual precipitation. Our

comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS) and

Emergency Response Plan (ERP) enable us to effectively

address any short-term storm damage or disruptions.

• In the long term, the analysis indicates that although we have

assessed current known risk factors and our existing asset

portfolio, the frequency and intensity of these risks may rise by

2050. The predictability level suggests that immediate

investment in climate adaptation measures for the assets is not

necessary at this time. Instead, we are positioned to monitor the

assets and evaluate the need for adaptation actions, such as

addressing the potential impact of water scarcity on various

assets.

• Our plan considers the effects of mitigation measures in the

short to medium term. We will persist in monitoring and

evaluating the future vulnerability of our assets to changing

climate conditions over the long term to determine the

necessity for any additional adaptation actions and associated

metrics.

• Furthermore, the effects of physical climate change on our

operations are expected to extend beyond the boundaries of

our assets. A comprehensive assessment of this risk must also

take into account the overall impact on supply chains, resource

availability, and markets. Our assets address this risk as part of

extensive risk and threat management processes mandated by

our HSSE Framework, which is integrated into the broader

Seplat’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework.

Sustainability strategy continued

#### Offshore assets assessment

For our offshore assets, thirteen hazards were analysed, with four identified as the most relevant to Seplat's offshore assets in the Niger

Delta.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 13 Hazards  analysed  • Temperature, water and  wind related indicators  • Water stress  • Coastal, riverine and pluvial  flooding  • Forest Fire Danger Index  • Frost index  • Landslide susceptibility  • Earthquake  • Soil erosion  • River discharge indicators  • Tropical cyclones  • Sea level rise  • Solar capacity factor  • Other natural disasters | Analysis for  each site,  and each  climate  hazard:  • RCP2.6, 4.5 and  8.5 scenarios  • 2030, 2040 &  2050 |  | Physical  Risk Type | Hazards | Corresponding  indicators | Vulnerability |
| Flooding | Chronic | Sea level rise | Sea level rise (cm) | Operational  disruption, cost  escalation |
| Acute | Pluvial  flooding | Pluvial flooding (100-  year return period) (m) | Operational  disruption |
| MetOcean | Chronic | Sea  temperature | Sea surface  temperature (oC) | Destruction of  assets (corrosion) |
| Precipitation | Acute | Annual  precipitation | Cumulative precipitation  (mm/year) |  |

• In the short to medium term, the assessment identified

several risks in which our offshore assets have medium to

high exposure to. For example, the assessment indicated that

all our offshore locations have medium to high exposure to

intensifying rainfall which increases the likelihood of the

capacity of drainage system being exceeded. This risk

exposure is consistent across the short, and medium term for

all three scenarios assessed. The assessment acknowledged

the existence of adequate control measures but admonished

strengthening them ahead of longer term changes in

projected precipitation. The analysis also indicates 13 offshore

locations have low risk exposure to pluvial flooding while two

locations have medium to high risk. That said, solid measures

such as, elevated placement of critical equipment at coastal

terminals and FSOs designed to operate safely in harsh

marine conditions, are in place to control this risk.

• In the long term, the analysis indicates that although we have

current known risk factors with medium to high exposure

(particularly rising sea temperature), existing mitigation and

adaptation efforts are adequate. The analysis however also

indicates that these measures can be improved upon such as

implementing advanced cooling techniques to manage the

impact of rising sea surface temperatures in the long term as

well as evaluating drainage capacities against projected

rainfall intensities to ensure resilience against pluvial flooding.

• Overall, our offshore assets maintains strong resilience, but

long-term climate changes will require strategic adaptation

investments—particularly in drainage, cooling capacity, and

corrosion/fouling management—to safeguard operational

continuity and manage cost escalation in the decades ahead.

• This assessment evaluated $991.5 million worth of physical

assets for our offshore operations representing 32% of the

carrying value of group our oil & gas properties (onshore and

offshore) as of December 31, 2025.

• Our plan considers the effects of mitigation measures in the

short to medium term. We will persist in monitoring and

evaluating the future vulnerability of our assets to changing

climate conditions over the long term to determine the

necessity for any additional adaptation actions and associated

metrics.

#### Reserves valuation and capital expenditures

Testing the sensitivity of hydrocarbon reserve levels to future price

projection scenarios that account for price on carbon emissions

did not highlight significant climate-related risks.

#### Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2025

#### 1.    Corporate structure and business

Seplat Energy Plc  (formerly called Seplat Petroleum Development

Company Plc, hereinafter referred to as ‘Seplat’ or the ‘Company’),

the parent of the Group, was incorporated on 17 June 2009 as a

private limited liability company and re-registered as a public

company on 3 October 2014, under the Companies and Allied

Matters Act, CAP C20, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. The

Company commenced operations on 1 August 2010. The Company

is principally engaged in oil and gas exploration and production

and gas processing activities. The Company’s registered address

is:  1, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

The Company acquired, pursuant to an agreement for assignment

dated 31 January 2010 between the Company, SPDC, TOTAL and

AGIP, a 45% participating interest in OML 4, OML 38 and OML 41

located in Nigeria.

On 7 November 2010, Newton Energy Limited (‘Newton Energy’),

an entity previously beneficially owned by the same shareholders

as Seplat, became a subsidiary of the Company. On 1 June 2013,

Newton Energy acquired from Pillar Oil Limited (‘Pillar Oil’) a 40%

participant interest in producing assets: the Umuseti/Igbuku marginal

field area located within OPL 283 (the ‘Umuseti/Igbuku Fields’).

On 27 March 2013, the Group incorporated a subsidiary, MSP

Energy Limited. The company was incorporated for oil and gas

exploration and production.

On 11 December 2013, the Group incorporated a new subsidiary,

Seplat East Swamp Company Limited with the principal activity of

oil and gas exploration and production.

On 11 December 2013, Seplat Gas Company Limited (‘Seplat Gas’)

was incorporated as a private limited liability company to engage

in oil and gas exploration and production and gas processing.

On 21 August 2014, the Group incorporated a new subsidiary, Seplat

Energy UK Limited (formerly called Seplat Petroleum Development UK

Limited). The subsidiary provides technical, liaison and administrative

support services relating to oil and gas exploration activities.

In 2015, the Group purchased a 40% participating interest in OML

53, onshore northeastern Niger Delta (Seplat East Onshore

Limited), from Chevron Nigeria Ltd for $259.4 million.

In 2017, the Group incorporated a new subsidiary, ANOH Gas

Processing Company Limited. The principal activity of the

company is the processing of gas from OML 53 using the ANOH

Gas Plant. The Group divested some of its ownership interest in

this company to Nigerian Gas Processing and Transportation

Company (NGPTC) which was effective from 18 April 2019, hence

this investment qualifies as a joint arrangement and has continued

to be recognised as investment in joint venture.

On 16 January 2018, the Group incorporated a subsidiary, Seplat

West Limited (‘Seplat West’). Seplat West was incorporated to

manage the producing assets of Seplat Energy Plc.

On 31 December 2019, Seplat Energy Plc acquired 100% of Eland

Oil and Gas Plc’s issued and yet to be issued ordinary shares.

Eland is an independent oil and gas company that holds interest in

subsidiaries and joint ventures that are into production,

development and exploration in West Africa, particularly the Niger

Delta region of Nigeria.

On acquisition of Eland Oil and Gas Plc (Eland), the Group acquired

an indirect interest in existing subsidiaries of Eland.

Eland Oil & Gas (Nigeria) Limited is a subsidiary acquired through

the purchase of Eland and is into exploration and production of oil

and gas.

Westport Oil Limited, which was also acquired through purchase

of Eland, is a financing company.

Elcrest Exploration and Production Company Limited (Elcrest),

which became an indirect subsidiary of the Group, purchased a

45% interest in OML 40 in 2012. Elcrest is a joint venture between

Eland Oil and Gas (Nigeria) Limited (45%) and Starcrest Nigeria

Energy Limited (55%). It has been consolidated because Eland is

deemed to have power over the relevant activities of Elcrest to

affect variable returns from Elcrest at the date of acquisition by the

Group. (See details in Note 4.1.v.) The principal activity of Elcrest is

exploration and production of oil and gas.

Wester Ord Oil & Gas (Nigeria) Limited, which also became an

indirect subsidiary of the Group, acquired a 40% stake in a licence,

Ubima, in 2014 via a joint operations agreement. The principal

activity of Wester Ord Oil & Gas (Nigeria) Limited is exploration and

production of oil and gas. In 2022, Wester Ord Oil and Gas

(Nigeria) divested its interest in Ubima.

Other entities acquired through the purchase of Eland are Tarland

Oil Holdings Limited (a holding company), Brineland Petroleum

Limited (dormant company) and Destination Natural Resources

Limited (dormant company).

On 1 January 2020, Seplat Energy Plc transferred its 45%

participating interest in OML 4, OML 38 and OML 41 (‘transferred

assets’) to Seplat West Limited. As a result, Seplat Energy Plc

ceased to be a party to the Joint Operating Agreement in respect of

the transferred assets and became a holding company. Seplat West

Limited became a party to the Joint Operating Agreement in respect

of the transferred assets and assumed its rights and obligations.

On 20 May 2021, following a special resolution by the Board in view

of the Company’s strategy of transitioning into an energy

company promoting renewable energy, sustainability, and new

energy, the name of the Company was changed from Seplat

Petroleum Development Company Plc to Seplat Energy Plc under

the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020.

On 7 February 2022, the Group incorporated a subsidiary, Seplat

Energy Offshore Limited. The company was incorporated for oil

and gas exploration and production.

On 5 July 2022, the Group incorporated a subsidiary, Turnkey

Drilling Services Limited. The company was incorporated for the

purpose of drilling chemicals, material supply, directional drilling,

drilling support services and exploration services.

#### 3.    Summary of significant accounting policies

3.1  Introduction to summary of significant

accounting policies

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies

adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial

statements. These accounting policies have been applied to all the

periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated

financial statements are for the Group consisting of Seplat Energy

Plc and its subsidiaries.

3.2  Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year

ended 31 December 2025  have been prepared in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS Accounting

Standards’) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations

Committee (IFRS IC). The financial statements comply with IFRS

Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting

Standards Board (IASB). Additional information required by national

regulations is included where appropriate.

The financial statements comprise the statement of profit or loss

and other comprehensive income, the statement of financial

position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of

cash flows and the notes to the financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared under the going

concern and historical cost convention, except for financial

instruments measured at fair value on initial recognition, derivative

financial instruments, assets held for sale and other assets and

defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value. The

financial statements are presented in Nigerian Naira and United

States Dollars, and all values are rounded to the nearest million (₦

million) and thousand ($'000) respectively, except when otherwise

indicated.

Nothing has come to the attention of the Directors to indicate that

the Group will not remain a going concern for at least 12 months

from the date of these financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the

previous financial year end, except for the adoption of new and

amended standards which are set out below.

3.3  New and amended standards adopted by the

Group

The Group applied for the first-time certain standards and

amendments which are effective for annual periods beginning on

or after  1 January 2025 . The Group has not early adopted any

other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued

but is not yet effective.

a)          Lack of exchangeability – Amendments to IAS

21

For annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025,

Lack of Exchangeability-Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of

Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates specifies how an entity

should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it

should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is

lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information

that enables users of its financial statements to understand how

the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency

affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance,

financial position and cash flows.

The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s

financial statements.

b)          Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial

statement

The IASB issued Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial

Statements, which added illustrative examples to the guidance

accompanying several IFRS Accounting Standards. There are six

examples and the objective of those examples is to illustrate how

an entity applies the requirements in IFRS Accounting Standards to

report the effects of uncertainties in its financial statements.

Although the examples are climate-related, the principles in the

examples can be applied to other uncertainties. The guidance has

a similar authority to agenda decisions from the IFRS IC.

Depending on how an entity has applied and considered the

consistency between financial and non-financial reporting in the

past, the impact of these examples, and whether they result in

additional disclosures, might differ.

The Group has carefully considered how the principles in the

examples impact the disclosures in its financial statements and

concluded that the amendments do not have a material impact on

the Group’s financial statements.

3.4  Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are

issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the

Group’s financial statements, are disclosed below. The Group

intends to adopt these new and amended standards and

interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective. Details

of these new standards and interpretations are set out below:

a)          Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or

Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its

Associate or Joint Venture

The IASB has made limited scope amendments to IFRS 10

Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in

Associates and Joint Ventures.

The amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales or

contribution of assets between an investor and their associates or

joint ventures. They confirm that the accounting treatment

depends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed

to an associate or joint venture constitute a ‘business' (as defined

in IFRS 3 Business Combinations).

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

Where the non-monetary assets constitute a business, the

investor will recognise the full gain or loss on the sale or

contribution of assets. If the assets do not meet the definition of a

business, the gain or loss is recognised by the investor only to the

extent of the other investor's interests in the associate or joint

venture. The amendments apply prospectively.  There is currently

no effective date for these amendments.

b)          IFRS 18-Presentation and Disclosure in Financial

Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1

Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new

requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss,

including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are

required to classify all income and expenses within the statement

of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing,

financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the

first three are new.

It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined

performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and

includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of

financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary

financial statements (PFS) and the notes.

IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but

earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will

apply retrospectively.

The Group is currently working to identify all impacts the

amendments will have on the primary financial statements and

notes to the financial statements.

c)          IFRS 19-Subsidiaries without Public

Accountability: Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities

to elect to apply its reduced disclosure requirements while still

applying the recognition, measurement and presentation

requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. To be eligible, at

the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as

defined in IFRS 10, cannot have public accountability and must

have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares

consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which

comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.

IFRS 19 will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or

after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on

the Group’s financial statements.

d)          Amendments to the Classification and

Measurement of Financial Instruments — Amendments

to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7,

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial

Instruments (the Amendments). The Amendments include:

• A clarification that a financial liability is derecognised on the

‘settlement date’ and the introduction of an accounting policy

choice (if specific conditions are met) to derecognise financial

liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the

settlement date

• Additional guidance on how the contractual cash flows for

financial assets with environmental, social and governance

(ESG) and similar features should be assessed

• Clarifications on what constitute ‘non-recourse features’ and

what are the characteristics of contractually linked instruments

• The introduction of disclosures for financial instruments with

contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for

equity instruments classified at fair value through other

comprehensive income (OCI)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or

after 1 January 2026 with early adoption permitted for classification

of financial assets and related disclosures only.

The Group is currently assessing the amendments to determine

any impact they will have on the Group’s financial statements.

e)          Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting

Standards-Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued nine narrow scope amendments as

part of its periodic maintenance of IFRS Accounting Standards.

The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections

or changes to improve consistency in IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of

International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7 Financial

Instruments: Disclosure and its accompanying Guidance on

Implementing IFRS 7, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10

Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statements of Cash

Flows.

The amendments will be effective for reporting periods beginning

on or after 1 January 2026. Earlier application is permitted and must

be disclosed.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on

the Group’s financial statements.

f)          Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent

Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In December 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and

IFRS 7-Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity. The

amendments apply only to contracts that reference nature-

dependent electricity, and:

• Clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-

scope contracts

• Amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a

cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts

• Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to

understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s

financial performance and cash flows.

The amendments will take effect for annual reporting periods

starting on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption is allowed, but it

must be disclosed. The amendments concerning the own-use

exception are to be applied retrospectively, while the hedge

accounting amendments should be applied prospectively to new

hedging relationships designated from the initial application date.

Additionally, the IFRS 7 disclosure amendments must be

implemented alongside the IFRS 9 amendments. If an entity does

not restate comparative information, it cannot present

comparative disclosures.

The Group does not expect that the amendments will have a

material impact on its financial statements.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

3.5  Restatement of comparative information

Certain comparative amounts in the primary financial statements

have been restated, as a result of the measurement period

adjustment in 2024.

Measurement period adjustment

In December 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share

capital of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU). At initial

recognition, the acquisition accounting resulted in a provisional

gain on bargain purchase of $86 million, based on information

available at the 31 December 2024 reporting date .

During the measurement period, binding agreements dated 25

June 2025 and 19 November 2025 were executed, confirming

additional consideration of $68.7 million. Management determined

that this additional consideration related to obligations and

conditions that existed at the acquisition date, but whose

measurement had not been finalised.

The Group in addition to the revision of the purchased

consideration also revalued the asset and liabilities of SEPNU,

within the measurement period and this led to a total gain on

bargain purchase of $100.8 million.

In accordance with IFRS 3.45–49, the additional consideration and

valuation of asset and liabilities qualifies as a measurement-period

adjustment. Consequently, the Group retrospectively adjusted the

acquisition accounting as if the final information had been available

at the acquisition date.

3.6  Basis of consolidation

i.          Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which

the Group has control.

The consolidated financial information comprises the financial

statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at

31 December 2025. Control is achieved when the Group is

exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with

the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its

power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an

investee if and only if the Group has:

• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the

current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement

with the investee; and

• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its

returns.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is

obtained by the Group and are deconsolidated from the date

control ceases.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights

results in control. To support this presumption and when the

Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an

investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances

in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

• The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of

the investee

• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

• The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

ii.        Change in the ownership interest of subsidiary

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for

business combinations by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries

are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or

loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in

equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Intercompany transaction balances and unrealised gains on

transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised

losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides

evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting

policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to

ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

iii.        Disposal of subsidiary

Where the Group disposes a subsidiary, it:

• Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of

the subsidiary;

• Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling

interests;

• Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded

in equity;

• Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

• Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

• Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

• Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously

recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as

appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly

disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

iv.        Joint arrangements

Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint

arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint

ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and

obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the

joint arrangement.

Interest in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity

method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated

statement of financial position. All other joint arrangements of the

Group are joint operations.

A joint operation (JO) involves joint control and often joint

ownership by the Group and other venturers of assets contributed

to, or acquired for the purpose of, the joint venture, without the

formation of a corporation, partnership or other entity. Where the

Group’s activities are conducted through JOs, the Group

recognises its share of the jointly controlled assets and liabilities it

has incurred, its share of any liabilities jointly incurred with other

venturers, income from the sale or use of its share of the joint

venture’s output, together with its share of the expenses incurred

by the joint venture, and any expenses it incurs in relation to its

interest in the joint venture and a share of production.

v.          Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant

influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case

where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting

rights. Investment in associates is accounted for using the equity

method of accounting (see (vi) below) after initially being

recognised at cost.

vi.        Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s investments

are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise

the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the

investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in

other comprehensive income of the investee in other

comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from

associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the

carrying amount of the investment.

Where the Group’s share of loss in an equity accounting

investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including

any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not

recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made

payments on behalf of the other party.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its

associate and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the

Group’s interest in the entities. Unrealised losses are also

eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an

impairment of the asset transferred.

Accounting policies of equity accounted investees are changed

where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group.

The carrying amount of equity accounted investments is tested for

impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 3.14.

vii.        Changes in ownership interest

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that

do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners

of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an

adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and

non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the

subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment

to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received

is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to

owners of the Group.

When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an

investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant

influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair

value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or

loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the

purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as

an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any

amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in

respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had

directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean

that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive

income are reclassified to profit or loss.

viii.        Accounting for loss of control

When the Group ceases to consolidate a subsidiary because of a

joint control, it does the following:

• deconsolidates the assets (including goodwill), liabilities and

non-controlling interest (including attributable other

comprehensive income) of the former subsidiary from the

consolidated financial position;

• any retained interest (including amounts owed by and to the

former subsidiary) in the entity is remeasured to its fair value,

with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or

loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the

purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest

as an associate or a joint venture;

• any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive

income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the

Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other

comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or

transferred directly to retained earnings if required by other

IFRS Accounting Standards;

• the resulting gain or loss, on loss of control, is recognised

together with the profit or loss from the discontinued

operation for the period before the loss of control; and

• the gain or loss on disposal will comprise the gain or loss

attributable to the portion disposed of and the gain or loss on

remeasurement of the portion retained. The latter is disclosed

separately in the notes to the financial statements. If the

ownership interest in a joint venture is reduced but joint

control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate

share of the amounts previously recognised in other

comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where

appropriate.

ix.          Non-controlling interest

The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired

entity either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s

proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.

This decision is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.

x.          Gain on bargain purchase

A gain on bargain purchase arises when the fair value of the

identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds

the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any

non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the

acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree, if any.

The Group recognises any gain on a bargain purchase

immediately in profit or loss. The gain is measured as the excess

of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired over the

aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any

non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the

acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree, if any.

3.7  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the

Company operates (‘the functional currency’), which is the US

Dollar. The financial statements are presented in Nigerian Naira

and US Dollars.

The Company has chosen to show both presentation currencies

and this is allowable by the regulator.

i.        Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional

currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the

transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the

settlement of such transactions and from the translation of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

at year end are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are

deferred in equity if attributable to net investment in foreign

operations.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are

presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All

other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the

statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other income or

other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign

currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date

when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on

assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the

fair value gain or loss or other comprehensive income depending

on where fair value gain or loss is reported.

ii.        Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a

functional currency different from the presentation currency are

translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position

presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the

reporting date.

• Income and expenses for statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income are translated at average exchange

rates (unless this is not-a reasonable approximation of the

cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction

dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at

the dates of the transactions), and all resulting exchange

differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

• Equity items for each statement of financial position

presented are translated at the historical rates.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other

comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation

is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill and fair value adjustments

arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as

assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the

closing rate.

3.8  Oil and gas accounting

i.        Pre-licensing costs

Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are

incurred.

ii.        Exploration licence cost

Exploration licence costs are capitalised within intangible assets.

Licence costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an

existing exploration area are capitalised and amortised on a

straight-line basis over the life of the licence.

Licence costs are reviewed at each reporting date to confirm that

there is no indication that the carrying amount exceeds the

recoverable amount. This review includes confirming that

exploration drilling is still under way or firmly planned, or that it has

been determined, or work is under way to determine that the

discovery is economically viable based on a range of technical and

commercial considerations and sufficient progress is being made

to establish development plans and timing. If no future activity is

planned or the licence has been relinquished or has expired, the

carrying value of the licence is written off through profit or loss.

The exploration licence costs are initially recognised at cost and

subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis on the economic

life. They are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated

amortisation and impairment losses. The amortisation rate for the

intangible asset is 5% with useful life of 20 years.

iii.        Acquisition of producing assets

Upon acquisition of producing assets which do not constitute a

business combination, the Group identifies and recognises the

individual identifiable assets acquired (including those assets that

meet the definition of, and recognition criteria for, intangible assets

in IAS 38 Intangible Assets) and liabilities assumed. The purchase

price paid for the group of assets is allocated to the individual

identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair

values at the date of purchase.

iv.        Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Geological and geophysical exploration costs are charged to profit

or loss as incurred.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred are accumulated

separately for each area of interest. Such expenditures comprise

net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead

expenditure, but do not include general overheads or

administrative expenditure that is not directly related to a particular

area of interest. Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a

known or probable hydrocarbon resource capable of supporting

an oil operation.

Costs directly associated with an exploration well, exploratory

stratigraphic test well and delineation wells are temporarily

suspended (capitalised) until the drilling of the well is complete and

the results have been evaluated. These costs include employee

remuneration, materials and fuel used, rig costs, delay rentals and

payments made to contractors. If hydrocarbons (‘proved

reserves’) are not found, the exploration expenditure is written off

as a dry hole and charged to profit or loss. If hydrocarbons are

found, the costs continue to be capitalised.

Suspended exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to

each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that

one of the following conditions is met:

• the costs are expected to be recouped through successful

development and exploitation of the area of interest or,

alternatively, by its sale;

• exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest

have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which

permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or

otherwise of economically recoverable reserves; and

• active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of

interest.

Exploration and/or evaluation expenditures which fail to meet at

least one of the conditions outlined above are written off. In the

event that an area is subsequently abandoned or exploration

activities do not lead to the discovery of proved or probable

reserves, or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of no

value, any accumulated costs carried forward relating to the

specified areas of interest are written off in the year in which the

decision is made. While an area of interest is in the development

phase, amortisation of development costs is not charged pending

the commencement of production. Exploration and evaluation

costs are transferred from the exploration and/or evaluation phase

to the development phase upon commitment to a commercial

development.

v.        Development expenditures

Development expenditure incurred by the Group is accumulated

separately for each area of interest in which economically

recoverable reserves have been identified to the satisfaction of the

Directors. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and, in the

same manner as for exploration and evaluation expenditure, an

appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure directly

related to the development property. All expenditure incurred prior

to the commencement of commercial levels of production from

each development property is carried forward to the extent to

which recoupment is expected to be derived from the sale of

production from the relevant development property.

3.9  Revenue recognition (IFRS 15)

IFRS 15 uses a five-step model for recognising revenue to depict

transfer of goods or services. The model distinguishes between

promises to a customer that are satisfied at a point in time and

those that are satisfied over time.

It is the Group’s policy to recognise revenue from a contract when

it has been approved by both parties, rights have been clearly

identified, payment terms have been defined, the contract has

commercial substance, and collectability has been ascertained as

probable. Collectability of customer’s payments is ascertained

based on the customer’s historical records, guarantees provided,

the customer’s industry and advance payments made if any.

Revenue is recognised when control of goods sold has been

transferred. Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the

use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits

(potential cash inflows or savings in cash outflows) associated with

the asset. For crude oil, this occurs when the crude products are

lifted by the customer (buyer) Free on Board at the Group’s

loading facility. Revenue from the sale of oil is recognised at a point

in time when performance obligation is satisfied. For gas sales,

revenue is recognised when the product passes through the

custody transfer point to the customer. Revenue from the sale of

gas is recognised over time using the practical expedient of the

right to invoice.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

The surplus or deficit of the product sold during the period over

the Group’s share of production is termed as an overlift or underlift.

With regard to underlifts, if the overlifter does not meet the

definition of a customer or the settlement of the transaction is

non-monetary, a receivable and other income is recognised.

Initially, when an overlift occurs, cost of sale is debited, and a

corresponding liability is accrued. Overlifts and underlifts are initially

measured at the market price of oil at the date of lifting, consistent

with the measurement of the sale and purchase. Subsequently,

they are remeasured at the current market value. The change

arising from this remeasurement is included in the profit or loss as

other income/expenses - net. In instances where Seplat controls

the storage of crude and petroleum products at a terminal, surplus

or deficit of the product sold over the Group’s share of production

is termed an overlift or inventory.

Definition of a customer

A customer is a party that has contracted with the Group to obtain

crude oil or gas products in exchange for a consideration, rather

than to share in the risks and benefits that result from sale. The

Group has entered into collaborative arrangements with its joint

arrangement partners to share in the production of oil.

Collaborative arrangements with its joint arrangement partners to

share in the production of oil are accounted for differently from

arrangements with customers as collaborators share in the risks

and benefits of the transaction and, therefore, do not meet the

definition of customers. Revenue arising from these arrangements

is recognised separately in other income.

Contract enforceability and termination clauses

It is the Group’s policy to assess that the defined criteria for

establishing contracts that entail enforceable rights and obligations

are met. The criteria provide that the contract has been approved

by both parties, rights have been clearly identified, payment terms

have been defined, the contract has commercial substance, and

collectability has been ascertained as probable. Revenue is not

recognised for contracts that do not create enforceable rights and

obligations to parties in a contract. The Group also does not

recognise revenue for contracts that do not meet the revenue

recognition criteria. In such cases where consideration is received

it recognises a contract liability and only recognises revenue when

the contract is terminated.

The Group may also have the unilateral rights to terminate an

unperformed contract without compensating the other party. This

could occur where the Group has not yet transferred any

promised goods or services to the customer and the Group has

not yet received, and is not yet entitled to receive, any

consideration in exchange for promised goods or services.

Identification of performance obligation

At inception, the Group assesses the goods or services promised

in the contract with a customer to identify as a performance

obligation, each promise to transfer to the customer either a

distinct good or series of distinct goods. The number of identified

performance obligations in a contract will depend on the number

of promises made to the customer. The delivery of barrels of

crude oil or units of gas are usually the only performance

obligation included in oil and gas contract with no additional

contractual promises. Additional performance obligations may

arise from future contracts with the Group and its customers.

The identification of performance obligations is a crucial part in

determining the amount of consideration recognised as revenue.

This is due to the fact that revenue is only recognised at the point

where the performance obligation is fulfilled. Management has

therefore developed adequate measures to ensure that all

contractual promises are appropriately considered and accounted

for accordingly.

Transaction price is the amount allocated to the performance

obligations identified in the contract. It represents the amount of

revenue recognised as those performance obligations are

satisfied. Complexities may arise where a contract includes

variable consideration, significant financing component or

consideration payable to a customer.

Variable consideration not within the Group’s control is estimated

at the point of revenue recognition and reassessed periodically.

The estimated amount is included in the transaction price to the

extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the

amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the

uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is

subsequently resolved. As a practical expedient, where the Group

has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that

corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s

performance completed to date, the Group may recognise

revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice.

Significant financing component (SFC) assessment is carried out

(using a discount rate that reflects the amount charged in a

separate financing transaction with the customer and also

considering the Group’s incremental borrowing rate) on contracts

that have a repayment period of more than 12 months.

As a practical expedient, the Group does not adjust the promised

amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing

component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period

between when it transfers a promised good or service to a

customer and when the customer pays for that good or service

will be one year or less.

Instances when SFC assessment may be carried out include

where the Group receives advance payment for agreed volumes

of crude oil or receives take or pay deficiency payments on gas

sales. Take or pay gas sale contracts ideally provide that the

customer must sometimes pay for gas even when not delivered

to the customer. The customer, in future contract years, takes

delivery of the product without further payment. The portion of

advance payments that represents significant financing

component will be recognised as interest expense.

Consideration payable to a customer is accounted for as a

reduction of the transaction price unless the payment to the

customer is in exchange for distinct goods or services that the

customer transfers to the Group.

Breakage

The Group enters into take or pay contracts for sale of gas where

the buyer may not ultimately exercise all of their rights to the gas.

The take or pay quantity not taken is paid for by the buyer and

called the take or pay deficiency payment. The Group assesses if

there is a reasonable assurance that it will be entitled to a

breakage amount. Where it establishes that a reasonable

assurance exists, it recognises the expected breakage amount as

revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the

customer. However, where the Group is not reasonably assured of

a breakage amount, it would only recognise the expected

breakage amount as revenue when the likelihood of the customer

exercising its remaining rights becomes remote.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Contract modification and contract combination

Contract modifications relate to a change in the price and/or

scope of an approved contract. Where there is a contract

modification, the Group assesses if the modification will create a

new contract or change the existing enforceable rights and

obligations of the parties to the original contract. Contract

modifications are treated as new contracts when the performance

obligations are separately identifiable and the transaction price

reflects the standalone selling price of the crude oil or the gas to

be sold. Revenue is adjusted prospectively when the crude oil or

gas transferred is separately identifiable and the price does not

reflect the standalone selling price. Conversely, if there are

remaining performance obligations which are not separately

identifiable, revenue will be recognised on a cumulative catch-up

basis when crude oil or gas is transferred.

The Group combines contracts entered into at near the same

time (less than 12 months) as one contract if they are entered into

with the same or related party customer, the performance

obligations are the same for the contracts and the price of one

contract depends on the other contract.

Portfolio expedients

As a practical expedient, the Group may apply the requirements of

IFRS 15 to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with

similar characteristics if it expects that the effect on the financial

statements would not be materially different from applying IFRS to

individual contracts within that portfolio.

Contract assets and liabilities

The Group recognises contract assets for unbilled revenue from

crude oil and gas sales. The Group recognises contract liability for

consideration received for which performance obligation has not

been met.

Disaggregation of revenue from contract with

customers

The Group derives revenue from three types of products oil: gas

and natural gas liquid. The Group has determined that the

disaggregation of revenue based on the criteria of type of

products meets the disaggregation of revenue disclosure

requirement of IFRS 15. It depicts how the nature, amount, timing

and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by

economic factors. See further details in Note 6.1.1.

3.10  Property, plant and equipment

Oil and gas properties and other plant and equipment are stated

at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and accumulated

impairment losses.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or

construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the

asset into operation, the initial estimate of any decommissioning

obligation and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The

purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid

and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the

asset. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment

have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate

items of property, plant and equipment.

Expenditure on major maintenance refits or repairs comprises the

cost of replacement assets or parts of assets, inspection costs

and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was

separately depreciated and is now written off is replaced and it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with the item

will flow to the entity, the expenditure is capitalised. Inspection

costs associated with major maintenance programmes are

capitalised and amortised over the period to the next inspection.

Overhaul costs for major maintenance programmes are

capitalised as incurred as long as these costs increase the

efficiency of the unit or extend the useful life of the asset. All other

maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation

Oil and gas production assets are depreciated on a unit-of-

production basis over estimated proved reserves. Specifically, well

assets are depreciated over proved developed reserves while

production facilities are depreciated over proved reserves.

Gas plants and other property, plant and equipment are

depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Depreciation commences when an asset is available for use.

Assets under construction are not depreciated. Other property,

plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over

their estimated useful lives. Depreciation commences when an

asset is available for use. The depreciation rate for each class is as

follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| Plant and machinery | 10%-20% |
| Motor vehicles | 25%-30% |
| Office furniture and IT equipment | 10%-33.33% |
| Building | 4% |
| Land | - |
| Intangible assets | 5% |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the unexpired  portion of the lease |

The expected useful lives and residual values of property, plant

and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis and, if necessary,

changes in useful lives are accounted for prospectively.

Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are

determined as the difference between disposal proceeds and

carrying amount of the disposed assets. These gains or losses are

included in the statement of profit or loss.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part

initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal (i.e. at the date

the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits

are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on

derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between

the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is

included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is

derecognised.

3.11  Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement

date of a lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for

use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted

for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use

assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial

direct costs incurred, decommissioning costs (if any), and lease

payments made at or before the commencement date less any

lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain

to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease

term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a

straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and

the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

Short-term leases and leases of low value

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to

its short-term leases (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12

months or less from the commencement date and do not contain

a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets

recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value

(i.e. low-value assets). Low-value assets are assets with lease

amount of less than $5,000 when new. Lease payments on short-

term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an

expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

3.12  Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises

lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments

to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include the

exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be

exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating

a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option

to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an

index or a rate are recognised as an expense in the period in

which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses

the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date

if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for the Group is

10.5%. After the commencement date, the amount of lease

liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and

reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying

amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a

change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease

payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the

underlying asset. The lease term refers to the contractual period of

a lease.

The Group has elected to exclude non-lease components in

calculating lease liabilities and instead treats the related costs as

an expense in the statement of profit or loss.

3.13  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,

construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets

that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for

their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,

until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their

intended use or sale.

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in

connection with the borrowing of funds. These costs may arise

from specific borrowings used for the purpose of financing the

construction of a qualifying asset, and those that arise from

general borrowings that would have been avoided if the

expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made. The

general borrowing costs attributable to an asset’s construction are

calculated by reference to the weighted average cost of general

borrowings that are outstanding during the period.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of

specific borrowings pending their expenditure on the qualifying

assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for

capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the

statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3.14  Finance income and costs

Finance income

Finance income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as

it accrues using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate

that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts

through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter

period, where appropriate, to the amortised cost of the financial

instrument. The determination of finance income takes into

account all contractual terms of the financial instrument as well as

any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the

instrument and are an integral part of the EIR but not future credit

losses.

Finance costs

Finance costs includes borrowing costs, interest expense

calculated using the effective interest rate method, finance

charges in respect of lease liabilities, the unwinding of the effect of

discounting provisions, and the amortisation of discounts and

premiums on debt instruments that are liabilities.

The Group applies the IBOR reform Phase 2 amendments which

allow as a practical expedient for changes to the basis for

determining contractual cash flows to be treated as changes to a

floating rate of interest, provided certain conditions are met. The

conditions include that the change is necessary as a direct

consequence of IBOR reform and that the transition takes place

on an economically equivalent basis.

3.15  Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are

not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment,

or more frequently. Other non–financial assets are tested for

impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances

indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Individual assets are grouped for impairment assessment

purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash

flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other

groups of assets. This should be at a level not higher than an

operating segment.

If any such indication of impairment exists or when annual

impairment testing for an asset group is required, the entity makes

an estimate of its recoverable amount. Such indicators include

changes in the Group’s business plans, changes in commodity

prices, evidence of physical damage and, for oil and gas

properties, significant downward revisions of estimated

recoverable volumes or increases in estimated future

development expenditure.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less

costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). The recoverable

amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset

does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of

those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the

asset is tested as part of a larger cash-generating unit to which it

belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds

its recoverable amount, the asset group is considered impaired

and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an

impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at

the end of each reporting period.

In calculating VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to

their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks

specific to the asset/CGU. In determining FVLCD, recent market

transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be

identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations

are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for

publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment – exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment once

commercial reserves are found before they are transferred to oil

and gas assets, or whenever facts and circumstances indicate

impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by

which the exploration and evaluation assets’ carrying amount

exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the

higher of the exploration and evaluation assets’ fair value less

costs to sell and their value in use.

Impairment – proved oil and gas production properties

Proven oil and gas properties are reviewed for impairment whenever

events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised

for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an

asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the

purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the

lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

3.16  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows

comprise cash at banks and at hand and short-term deposits with

an original maturity of three months or less that are readily

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to

an insignificant risk of change in value.

3.17  Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents deposits with banks set aside for the

settlement of abandonment and decommissioning liabilities, host

community development fund, unclaimed dividends, bank

guarantee on garnishees against court judgments and for the

purpose of covering the costs payable on the stamping and

registering the security documents on loans and borrowings.

These amounts are subject to legal restrictions and are therefore

not available for general use by the Group.

3.18  Inventories

Inventories represent the value of tubulars, casings, spares,

wellheads, natural gas liquid and crude stocks. These are stated at

the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined

using the invoice value and all other directly attributable costs to

bringing the inventory to the point of use determined on a

weighted average pricing basis. Net realisable value is the

estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less

estimated costs of completion and the estimated cost necessary

to make the sale.

3.19  Prepayments

Prepayments are non-financial assets which result when

payments are made in advance of the receipt of goods and

services. They are recognised when the Group expects to receive

future economic benefits equivalent to the value of the

prepayments. The receipt or consumption of the services results in

a reduction in the prepayment and a corresponding increase in

expenses or assets for that reporting period

3.20  Contract asset

Contract asset is the entity’s right to consideration in exchange for

goods or services that the entity has transferred to the customer.

A contract asset becomes a receivable when the entity’s right to

consideration is unconditional, which is the case when only the

passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is

due. The impairment of contract assets is measured, presented

and disclosed on the same basis as financial assets that are within

the scope of IFRS 9.

3.21  Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their

carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale

transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets

classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their

carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are

the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an

asset excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only

when the sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group

is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions

required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that

significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to

sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the

plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed

within one year from the date of the classification.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not

depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented

separately as current items in the statement of financial position.

3.22  Other asset

The Group’s interest in the oil and gas reserves of OML 55 has

been classified as other asset. On initial recognition, it is measured

at the fair value of future recoverable oil and gas reserves.

Subsequently, the other asset is recognised at cost.

3.23  Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the

internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

The Board of Directors has appointed a Senior Leadership Team

to assess the financial performance and position of the Group and

makes strategic decisions. The Senior Leadership Team consists

of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief

Operating Officer, Managing Director Offshore, Managing Director

Onshore, Technical Director, Gas and New Energy Director,

Director, Legal and Company Secretariat, Director, Strategy,

Planning & Business Development, Director, External Affairs &

Social Performance and Director, Corporate Services. See further

details in Note 6.

3.24  Financial instruments

IFRS 9 provides guidance on the recognition, classification and

measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;

derecognition of financial instruments; impairment of financial

assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 also significantly amends

other standards dealing with financial instruments such as IFRS 7

Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

a)    Classification and measurement

Financial assets-initial recognition and measurement

It is the Group’s policy to initially recognise financial assets at fair

value plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets

recorded at fair value through profit or loss which are expensed in

profit or loss.

Classification and subsequent measurement are dependent on

the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash

flow characteristics of the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets

are classified in four categories:

• Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

• Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of

cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

•  Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no

recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition

(equity instruments)

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

On this basis, the Group may classify its financial instruments at

amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and at fair value

through other comprehensive income.

All the Group’s financial assets as at 31 December 2025 satisfy the

conditions for classification at amortised cost under IFRS 9 except

for derivatives which are classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured

using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to

impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when

the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group’s financial assets include trade receivables, NEPL

receivables, NUIMS receivables, other receivables, cash and bank

balances and derivatives. They are included in current assets,

except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting

date. Interest income from these assets is included in finance

income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss

arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and

presented in finance income/cost.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

Financial assets at fair value through OCI

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income,

foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals

are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in

the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised

cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.

Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised

in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group does not have instruments measured at fair value

through OCI.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the

statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair

value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

The Group has derivative instruments under this category.

Financial liabilities-initial recognition, measurement and

presentation

Financial liabilities of the Group are classified and measured at fair

value on initial recognition and subsequently at amortised cost net

of directly attributable transaction costs, except for derivatives

which are classified and subsequently recognised at fair value

through profit or loss.

Fair value gains or losses for financial liabilities designated at fair

value through profit or loss are accounted for in profit or loss

except for the amount of change that is attributable to changes in

the Group’s own credit risk which is presented in other

comprehensive income. The remaining amount of change in the

fair value of the liability is presented in profit or loss. The Group’s

financial liabilities include trade and other payables and interest-

bearing loans and borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are

classified in two categories:

• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

• Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial

liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon

initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial

recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities

are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount

or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral

part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in

the statement of profit or loss. This category generally applies to

interest-bearing loans and borrowings

b)    Impairment of financial assets

Recognition of impairment provisions under IFRS 9 is based on the

expected credit loss (ECL) model. The ECL model is applicable to

financial assets classified at amortised cost and contract assets

under IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The

measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-

weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of

possible outcomes, time value of money and reasonable and

supportable information that is available without undue cost or

effort at the reporting date, about past events, current conditions

and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Group applies the simplified approach or the three-stage

general approach to determine impairment of receivables

depending on their respective nature. The simplified approach is

applied for trade receivables and contract assets while the general

approach is applied to NEPL receivables, NUIMS receivables, other

receivables and cash and bank balances.

The simplified approach requires expected lifetime losses to be

recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. This involves

determining the expected loss rates using a provision matrix that is

based on the Group’s historical default rates observed over the

expected life of the receivable and adjusted forward-looking

estimates. This is then applied to the gross carrying amount of the

receivable to arrive at the loss allowance for the period.

The three-stage approach assesses impairment based on

changes in credit risk since initial recognition using the past due

criterion and other qualitative indicators such as increase in political

concerns or other macroeconomic factors and the risk of legal

action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair

future financial performance.

Financial assets classified as Stage 1 have their ECL measured as a

proportion of their lifetime ECL that results from possible default

events that can occur within one year, while assets in Stage 2 or 3

have their ECL measured on a lifetime basis.

Under the three-stage approach, the ECL is determined by

projecting the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD)

and exposure at default (EAD) for each ageing bucket and for

each individual exposure. The PD is based on default rates

determined by external rating agencies for the counterparties. The

LGD is determined based on management’s estimate of expected

cash recoveries after considering the historical pattern of the

receivable, and it assesses the portion of the outstanding

receivable that is deemed to be irrecoverable at the reporting

period. The EAD is the total amount of outstanding receivable at

the reporting period. These three components are multiplied

together and adjusted for forward-looking information, such as the

gross domestic product (GDP) in Nigeria and crude oil prices, to

arrive at an ECL which is then discounted back to the reporting

date and summed. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is

the original effective interest rate or an approximation thereof.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost

are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the related

financial assets and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit

or loss.

c)    Significant increase in credit risk and default

definition

The Group assesses the credit risk of its financial assets based on

the information obtained during periodic review of publicly

available information, industry trends and payment records. Based

on the analysis of the information provided, the Group identifies

the assets that require close monitoring.

Furthermore, financial assets that have been identified to be more

than 30 days past due on contractual payments are assessed to

have experienced significant increase in credit risk. These assets

are grouped as part of Stage 2 financial assets where the three-

stage approach is applied.

In line with the Group’s credit risk management practices, a

financial asset is defined to be in default when contractual

payments have not been received at least 90 days after the

contractual payment period. Subsequent to default, the Group

carries out active recovery strategies to recover all outstanding

payments due on receivables. Where the Group determines that

there are no realistic prospects of recovery, the financial asset and

any related loss allowance is written off either partially or in full.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

d)    Write-off policy

The Group writes off financial assets, in whole or in part, when it

has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded

that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that

there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include:

• ceasing enforcement activity; and

• where the Group's recovery method is foreclosing on

collateral and the value of the collateral is such that there is no

reasonable expectation of recovering in full.

The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to

enforcement activity. The outstanding contractual amount of such

assets written off during the year ended 31 December 2025 was

nil (2024: nil).

The Group seeks to recover amounts it legally owed in full, but

which have been partially written off due to no reasonable

expectation of full recovery.

e)    Derecognition

Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual

rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when it

transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for

derecognition. Gains or losses on derecognition of financial assets

are recognised as finance income/cost.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when it is extinguished,

i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or

cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced

by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,

or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such

an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the

original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference

in the respective carrying amounts is recognised immediately in

the statement of profit or loss.

In the context of IBOR reform, the Group’s assessment of whether

a change to an amortised cost financial instrument is substantial is

made after applying the practical expedient introduced by IBOR

reform Phase 2. This requires the transition from an IBOR to an RFR

to be treated as a change to a floating interest rate, as described

in Note 3.13 above.

f)    Modification

When the contractual cash flows of a financial instrument are

renegotiated or otherwise modified and the renegotiation or

modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial

instrument, the Group recalculates the gross carrying amount of

the financial instrument and recognises a modification gain or loss

immediately within finance income/(cost) - net at the date of the

modification. The gross carrying amount of the financial instrument

is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated or

modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the

financial instrument’s original effective interest rate.

g)    Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount

reported in the statement of financial position when and only when

there is legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amount,

and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously.

The legally enforceable right is not contingent on future events

and is enforceable in the normal course of business, and in the

event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the

counterparty.

h)    Derivatives

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward

exchange contracts to hedge its foreign exchange risks as well as

put options to hedge against its oil price risk. However, such

contracts are not accounted for as designated hedges.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a

derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured

to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any gains or

losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are

recognised within operating profit in the statement of profit or loss

for the period. An analysis of the fair value of derivatives is

provided in Note 5, Financial risk management.

The Group accounts for financial assets with embedded

derivatives (hybrid instruments) in their entirety on the basis of their

contractual cash flow features and the business model within

which they are held, thereby eliminating the complexity of

bifurcation for financial assets. For financial liabilities, hybrid

instruments are bifurcated into hosts and embedded features. In

these cases, the Group measures the host contract at amortised

cost and the embedded feature is measured at fair value through

profit or loss.

For the purpose of the maturity analysis, embedded derivatives

included in hybrid financial instruments are not separated. The

hybrid instrument, in its entirety, is included in the maturity analysis

for non-derivative financial liabilities.

i)    Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or

paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market

participants at the measurement date. When available, the Group

measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an

active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if

quoted prices are readily available and represent actual and

regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

If a market for a financial instrument is not active, the Group

establishes fair value using valuation techniques. Valuation

techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions

between knowledgeable, willing parties (if available), reference to

the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the

same, and discounted cash flow analysis. The chosen valuation

technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as

possible on estimates specific to the Group, incorporates all

factors that market participants would consider in setting a price,

and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for

pricing financial instruments.

Inputs to valuation techniques reasonably represent market

expectations and measure the risk-return factors inherent in the

financial instrument. The Group calibrates valuation techniques

and tests them for validity using prices from observable current

market transactions in the same instrument or based on other

available observable market data.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial

recognition is the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the

consideration given or received. However, in some cases, the fair

value of a financial instrument on initial recognition may be

different to its transaction price. If such fair value is evidenced by

comparison with other observable current market transactions in

the same instrument (without modification or repackaging) or

based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data

from observable markets, then the difference is recognised in the

income statement on initial recognition of the instrument. In other

cases, the difference is not recognised in the income statement

immediately but is recognised over the life of the instrument on an

appropriate basis or when the instrument is redeemed,

transferred, or sold, or the fair value becomes observable.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

3.25  Share capital

On issue of ordinary shares, any consideration received net of any

directly attributable transaction costs is included in equity. Issued

share capital has been translated at the exchange rate prevailing

at the date of the transaction and is not retranslated after initial

recognition.

3.26  Treasury shares

Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are

recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is

recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or

cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference

between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is

recognised in the share premium.

3.27  Earnings per share and dividends

Basic EPS

Basic earnings per share is calculated on the Company’s profit or

loss after taxation and based on the weighted average of issued

and fully paid ordinary shares at the end of the year.

Diluted EPS

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after taxation

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding

during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary

shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive

potential ordinary shares (after adjusting for outstanding share

options arising from the share-based payment scheme) into

ordinary shares.

Dividend

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability in the

period in which they are approved.

3.28  Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service

is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be

paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to

pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the

employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

3.29  Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution scheme

The Group contributes to a defined contribution scheme for its

employees in compliance with the provisions of the Pension

Reform Act 2014. The scheme is fully funded and is managed by

licensed Pension Fund Administrators. Membership of the scheme

is automatic upon commencement of duties at the Group. The

Group’s contributions to the defined contribution scheme are

charged to the statement of profit and loss account in the year to

which they relate.

The employer contributes 17% while the employee contributes 3%

of the qualifying employee's salary.

Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an entity

in exchange for services rendered by employees or for the

termination of employment. The Group operates a defined

contribution plan and it is accounted for based on IAS 19

Employee Benefits.

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans

under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate

entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligation to

pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets

to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the

current and prior periods. Under defined contribution plans the

entity’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to the amount that

it agrees to contribute to the fund.

Thus, the amount of post-employment benefits received by the

employee is determined by the amount of contributions paid by an

entity (and perhaps also the employee) to a post-employment

benefit plan or to an insurance company, together with investment

returns arising from the contributions. In consequence, actuarial

risk (that benefits will be less than expected) and investment risk

(that assets invested will be insufficient to meet expected benefits)

fall, in substance, on the employee.

Defined benefit scheme

The Group operates a defined benefit plan covering gratuity

(which was discontinued during the year), and pension at exit,

which requires contributions to be made to a separately

administered fund. The Group also provides certain additional

post-employment benefits to employees. These benefits are

unfunded.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is

determined using the projected unit credit method and calculated

annually by independent actuaries. The liability or asset recognised

in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined

benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at

the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets (if

any). The present value of the defined benefit obligation is

determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows

using government bonds.

Remeasurement gains and losses, arising from changes in

financial and demographic assumptions and experience

adjustments, are recognised immediately in the statement of

financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained

earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in

which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or

loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:

• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment; and

• The date that the Group recognises related restructuring

costs.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net

defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets.

The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined

benefit obligation under employee benefit expenses in general

and administrative expenses:

• Service costs comprises current service costs, past-service

costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine

settlements

• Net interest cost

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the

Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and

when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits

are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the

reporting date then they are discounted.

3.30  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when

• i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a

result of past events;

• ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be

required to settle the obligation as a whole; and

• iii) the amount can be reliably estimated.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. In

measuring the provision:

• risks and uncertainties are taken into account;

• the provisions are discounted (where the effects of the time

value of money is considered to be material) using a pre-tax

rate that is reflective of current market assessments of the

time value of money and the risk specific to the liability;

• when discounting is used, the increase of the provision over

time is recognised as interest expense;

• future events, such as changes in law and technology, are

taken into account where there is subjective audit evidence

that they will occur; and

• gains from expected disposal of assets are not taken into

account, even if the expected disposal is closely linked to the

event giving rise to the provision.

Decommissioning

Liabilities for decommissioning costs are recognised as a result of

the constructive obligation of past practice in the oil and gas

industry, when it is probable that an outflow of economic

resources will be required to settle the liability and a reliable

estimate can be made. The estimated costs, based on current

requirements, technology and price levels, prevailing at the

reporting date, are computed based on the latest assumptions as

to the scope and method of abandonment.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s

best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the present

obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate

used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the

risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the

passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The corresponding

amount is capitalised as part of the oil and gas properties and is

amortised on a unit-of-production basis as part of the depreciation,

depletion and amortisation charge. Any adjustment arising from

the estimated cost of the restoration and abandonment cost is

capitalised, while the charge arising from the accretion of the

discount applied to the expected expenditure is treated as a

component of finance costs.

If the change in estimate results in an increase in the

decommissioning provision and, therefore, an addition to the

carrying value of the asset, the Company considers whether this is

an indication of impairment of the asset as a whole, and if so, tests

for impairment in accordance with IAS 36. If, for mature fields, the

revised oil and gas assets net of decommissioning provisions

exceed the recoverable value, that portion of the increase is

charged directly to expense.

3.31  Contingencies

A contingent asset or contingent liability is a possible asset or

obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will

be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain

future events. The assessment of the existence of the

contingencies will involve management judgement regarding the

outcome of future events.

3.32  Income taxation

i.          Current income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable

on the current period’s taxable income, based on the applicable

income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in

deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary

differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax

charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or

substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the

countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates

operate and generate taxable income.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns

with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is

subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where

appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the

tax authorities.

ii.        Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on

temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets

and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated

financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not

recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial

recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a

business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects

neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that

have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the

reporting period and are expected to apply when the related

deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax

liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future

taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary

differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary

differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of

investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to

control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and

it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the

foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has

a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a

net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability

simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other

comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is

also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in

equity, respectively.

iii.        Uncertainty over income tax treatments

The Group examines where there is an uncertainty regarding the

treatment of an item, including taxable profit or loss, the tax bases

of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates. It

considers each uncertain tax treatment separately or together as

a group, depending on which approach better predicts the

resolution of the uncertainty. The factors it considers include:

• how it prepares and supports the tax treatment; and

• the approach that it expects the tax authority to take during

an examination.

If the Group concludes that it is probable that the tax authority will

accept an uncertain tax treatment that has been taken or is

expected to be taken on a tax return, it determines the accounting

for income taxes consistently with that tax treatment. If it

concludes that it is not probable that the treatment will be

accepted, it reflects the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax

accounting in the period in which that determination is made (for

example, by recognising an additional tax liability or applying a

higher tax rate).

The Group measures the impact of the uncertainty using methods

that best predict the resolution of the uncertainty. The Group uses

the most likely method where there are two possible outcomes,

and the expected value method when there are a range of

possible outcomes.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

The Group assumes that the tax authority with the right to

examine and challenge tax treatments will examine those

treatments and have full knowledge of all related information. As a

result, it does not consider detection risk in the recognition and

measurement of uncertain tax treatments. The Group applies

consistent judgements and estimates on current and deferred

taxes. Changes in tax laws or the presence of new tax information

by the tax authority is treated as a change in estimate in line with

IAS 8-Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and

Errors.

Judgements and estimates made to recognise and measure the

effect of uncertain tax treatments are reassessed whenever

circumstances change or when there is new information that

affects those judgements. New information might include actions

by the tax authority, evidence that the tax authority has taken a

particular position in connection with a similar item, or the expiry of

the tax authority’s right to examine a particular tax treatment. The

absence of any comment from the tax authority is unlikely to be, in

isolation, a change in circumstances or new information that would

lead to a change in estimate.

3.33  Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all

business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments

or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the

acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:

• fair values of the assets transferred

• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired

business

• equity interests issued by the Group

• fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent

consideration arrangement, and

• fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities

assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions,

measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The

Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired

entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or

at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the

acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs

are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the:

• consideration transferred,

• amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity,

and

• acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the

acquired entity.

over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is

recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value

of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the

difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain

purchase.

3.34  Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive

remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby

employees render services as consideration for equity instruments

(equity-settled transactions).

Some employees (below senior executive positions) in the Group

are granted share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash

(cash-settled transactions).

a)    Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair

value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate

valuation model.

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense together

with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment

reserve), over the period in which the service and, where

applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting

period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled

transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects

the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the

Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will

ultimately vest. The expense or credit in profit or loss for a period

represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at

the beginning and end of that period.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken

into account when determining the grant date and for fair value of

awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed

as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity

instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance

conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other

conditions attached to an award, but without an associated

service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions.

Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award

and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are

also service and/or performance conditions.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest

because non-market performance and/or service conditions have

not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting

condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of

whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided

that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the

minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the

unmodified award provided the original terms of the award are

met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of

modification, is recognised for any modification that increases the

total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is

otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is

cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining

element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately

through profit or loss. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is

reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted

earnings per share.

b)    Cash-settled transactions

A liability is recognised for the fair value of cash-settled

transactions. The fair value is measured initially and at each

reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with

changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

The fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date

with recognition of a corresponding liability. The fair value is

determined using a binomial model. The approach used to

account for vesting conditions when measuring equity-settled

transactions also applies to cash-settled transactions.

#### 4.    Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated historical financial

information requires management to make judgements, estimates

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,

expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,

and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these

assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a

material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities

affected in future periods.

4.1    Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies,

management has made the following judgements, which have the

most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the

consolidated historical financial information:

i.    OMLs 4, 38 and 41

OMLs 4, 38 and 41 are grouped together as a cash-generating

unit for the purpose of impairment testing. These three OMLs are

grouped together because they each cannot independently

generate cash flows. They currently operate as a single block

sharing resources for generating cash flows. Crude oil and gas

sold to third parties from these OMLs are invoiced when the

Group has an unconditional right to receive payment.

ii.    Deferred tax asset

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried

forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit

through future taxable profits is probable.

iii.    Foreign currency translation reserve

The Group has used the CBN rate to translate its Dollar currency

to its Naira presentation currency. Management has determined

that this rate is available for immediate delivery. If the rate was 10%

higher or lower, revenue in Naira would have increased/decreased

by ₦24.16 billion (2024: ₦ 20.36 billion). See Note 46 for the

applicable translation rates.

iv.    Consolidation of Elcrest

On acquisition of 100% shares of Eland Oil and Gas Plc, the Group

acquired indirect holdings in Elcrest Exploration and Production

(Nigeria) Limited. Although the Group has an indirect holding of

45% in Elcrest, Elcrest has been consolidated as a subsidiary on

the following basis:

• Eland Oil and Gas Plc has controlling power over Elcrest due

to its representation on the board of Elcrest, and clauses

contained in the Share Charge agreement and loan

agreement which give Eland the right to control 100% of the

voting rights of shareholders.

• Eland Oil and Gas Plc is exposed to variable returns from the

activities of Elcrest through dividends and interests.

• Eland Oil and Gas Plc has the power to affect the amount of

returns from Elcrest through its right to direct the activities of

Elcrest and its exposure to returns.

v.    Revenue recognition

Performance obligations

The judgments applied in determining what constitutes a

performance obligation will impact when control is likely to pass

and therefore when revenue is recognised, i.e. over time or at a

point in time. The Group has determined that only one

performance obligation exists in oil contracts which is the delivery

of crude oil to specified ports. Revenue is therefore recognised at

a point in time.

For gas contracts, the performance obligation is satisfied through

the delivery of a series of distinct goods. Revenue is recognised

over time in this situation as gas customers simultaneously receive

and consume the benefits provided by the Group’s performance.

The Group has elected to apply the ‘right to invoice’ practical

expedient in determining revenue from its gas contracts. The right

to invoice is a measure of progress that allows the Group to

recognise revenue based on amounts invoiced to the customer.

Judgement has been applied in evaluating that the Group’s right to

consideration corresponds directly with the value transferred to

the customer and is therefore eligible to apply this practical

expedient.

Transactions with Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) partners

The treatment of underlift and overlift transactions is judgemental

and requires consideration of all the facts and circumstances

including the purpose of the arrangement and transaction. The

transaction between the Group and its JOA partners involves

sharing in the production of crude oil, and for which the settlement

of the transaction is non-monetary. The JOA partners have been

assessed to be partners not customers. Therefore, shortfalls or

excesses below or above the Group’s share of production are

recognised in other income/ (expenses)-net.

vi.    Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the

internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

The Board of Directors  assesses the financial performance and

position of the Group and makes strategic decisions.  The Board

has delegated the day-to-day implementation of the Group’s

strategic framework to the Chief Executive Officer who is

supported by the Senior Leadership Team. See further details in

Note 6.

vii.    Leases

Critical judgements in determining the lease term

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts

and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise

an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension

options (or periods after termination options) are only included in

the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or

not terminated).  For leases of warehouses, retail stores and

equipment, the following factors are normally the most relevant

• If there are significant penalty payments to terminate (or not

extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or

not terminate).

• If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a

significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably

certain to extend (or not terminate).

• Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including

historical lease durations and the costs and business

disruption required to replace the leased asset.

Most extension options in office and vehicle leases have not been

included in the lease liability, because the Group could replace the

assets without significant cost or business disruption.

4.2  Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and the other key

sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are

described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates

on parameters available when the consolidated financial

statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and

assumptions about future developments may change due to

market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the

control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the

assumptions when they occur.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

The following are some of the estimates and assumptions made:

i.    Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit retirement plan and the present

value of the retirement obligation are determined using actuarial

valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various

assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the

future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future

salary increases, mortality rates and changes in inflation rates.

Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term

nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in

these assumptions. The parameter most subject to change is the

discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate,

management considers market yield on federal government

bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-

employment benefit obligation and extrapolated as needed along

the yield curve to correspond with the expected term of the

defined benefit obligation.

The rates of mortality assumed for employees are the rates

published in 67/70 ultimate tables, published jointly by the Institute

and Faculty of Actuaries in the UK.

ii.    Oil and gas reserves

Proved oil and gas reserves are used in the units of production

calculation for depletion as well as the determination of the timing

of well closure for estimating decommissioning liabilities and

impairment analysis. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in

estimating oil and gas reserves. Assumptions that are valid at the

time of estimation may change significantly when new information

becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of

commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates

may change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately

result in the reserves being restated.

iii.    Share-based payment reserve

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions

requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model,

which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This

estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate

inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the

share award or appreciation right, volatility and dividend yield and

making assumptions about them. The Group measures the fair

value of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant

date. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value

for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 27.4.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the

future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,

seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and

assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical

experience and other factors, including expectations of future

events, that are believed to be reasonable under the

circumstances.

iv.    Provision for decommissioning obligations

Provisions for environmental clean-up and remediation costs

associated with the Group’s drilling operations are based on

current construction, technology, price levels and expected plans

for remediation. Actual costs and cash outflows can differ from

estimates because of changes in public expectations, prices,

discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in clean-up

technology.

v.    Property, plant and equipment

The Group assesses its property, plant and equipment, including

exploration and evaluation assets, for possible impairment if there

are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying

values of the assets may not be recoverable, or at least at every

reporting date.

If there are low oil prices or natural gas prices during an extended

period, the Group may need to recognise significant impairment

charges. The assessment for impairment entails comparing the

carrying value of the cash-generating unit with its recoverable

amount, that is, higher of fair value less cost to dispose and value

in use. Value in use is usually determined on the basis of

discounted estimated future net cash flows. Determination as to

whether and how much an asset is impaired involves

management estimates on highly uncertain matters such as future

commodity prices, the effects of inflation on operating expenses,

discount rates, production profiles and the outlook for regional

market supply-and-demand conditions for crude oil and natural gas.

During the year, the Group carried out an impairment assessment

on OML 4, 38 and 41, OML 56, OML 53, OML 40, OML 67, OML 68,

OML 70 and OML 104. The Group used the higher of the fair value

less cost to dispose and the value in use in determining the

recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. In determining

the value, the Group uses a forecast of the annual net cash flows

over the life of proved plus probable reserves, production rates, oil

and gas prices, future costs (excluding (a) future restructurings to

which the entity is not yet committed; or (b) improving or

enhancing the asset’s performance) and other relevant

assumptions based on the year-end Competent Persons Report

(CPR). The pre-tax future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific

to the forecast and discounted using a pre-tax discount rate

which reflects both current market assessment of the time value

of money and risks specific to the asset.

Management considers whether a reasonable possible change in

one of the main assumptions will cause an impairment and

believes otherwise (see Note 16.1).

vi.    Useful life of other property, plant and equipment

The Group recognises depreciation on other property, plant and

equipment on a straight-line basis in order to write-off the cost of

the asset over its expected useful life. The economic life of an

asset is determined based on existing wear and tear, economic

and technical ageing, legal and other limits on the use of the asset,

and obsolescence. If some of these factors were to deteriorate

materially, impairing the ability of the asset to generate future cash

flow, the Group may accelerate depreciation charges to reflect the

remaining useful life of the asset or record an impairment loss.

vii.    Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes by the Nigerian tax authority,

which does not require significant judgement in terms of provision

for income taxes, but a certain level of judgement is required for

recognition of deferred tax assets. Management is required to

assess the ability of the Group to generate future taxable

economic earnings that will be used to recover all deferred tax

assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits

depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. The

estimates are based on the future cash flow from operations

taking into consideration the oil and gas prices, volumes produced,

operational and capital expenditure.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

viii.    Impairment of financial assets

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions

about risk of default, expected loss rates and maximum

contractual period. The Group uses judgement in making these

assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment

calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market

conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each

reporting period. Details of the key assumptions and inputs used

are disclosed in Note 5.1.3.

ix.    Intangible assets

The contract-based intangible assets (licence) were acquired as

part of a business combination. They are recognised at their fair

value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently amortised on

a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives of

the asset. The fair value of contract-based intangible assets is

estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. This

requires a forecast of revenue and all cost projections throughout

the useful life of the intangible assets. A contributory asset charge

that reflects the return on assets is also determined and applied to

the revenue but subtracted from the operating cash flows to

derive the pre-tax cash flow. The post-tax cash flows are then

obtained by deducting out the tax using the effective tax rate.

Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the

risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value

of money. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific

circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is

derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The

WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of

equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the

Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-

bearing borrowings the Group is obliged to service.

x.    Inventories-operational spares

The Group holds inventories comprising spare parts and

consumables used in production and operational activities. These

items are not held for resale but are consumed in the

maintenance and operation of assets and are accounted for in

accordance with IAS 2.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable

value. For operational spares, net realisable value is assessed with

reference to their expected future use in operations and

replacement cost.

The determination of whether spares are recoverables requires

management judgement, particularly in assessing:

• Expected future utilisation of the related assets

• Forecast production profiles

• Technological obsolescence risk

• Physical condition and shelf life

• Current replacement cost

Where spare parts are slow-moving, obsolete or no longer

expected to be utilised in operations, a write-down is recognised.

Due to the judgement involved in assessing future usage and

recoverability, there is estimation uncertainty associated with the

carrying amount of operational spares. Changes in operational

plans or asset life assumptions could result in a material

adjustment to inventory values in future reporting periods.

xi.    Investments in debt securities measured at fair

value through profit or loss

The Group holds a debt investment in Belema Oil as part of its

investment in the Seplat East Swamp arrangement. The

instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

and measured at fair value at each reporting date.

The investment is categorised within Level 3 of the fair value

hierarchy as the valuation incorporates significant unobservable

inputs. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow

model based on management’s forecast of future cash flows

expected to be derived from Belema Oil’s crude production.

Key assumptions used in the valuation include:

• Forecast crude oil production volumes

• Expected pipeline loss rates

• Forward crude oil price assumptions

• Seplat’s contractual entitlement to up to 85% of crude sales,

net of royalty and pipeline losses

• An entity-specific discount rate of 15%

The valuation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions.

Variations in production forecasts, crude prices, pipeline losses or

the discount rate could result in a material adjustment to the

carrying amount of the investment in future reporting periods. Due

to the use of significant unobservable inputs, there is estimation

uncertainty associated with this measurement.

#### 5.    Financial risk management

5.1  Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and

commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial

markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the

treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management,

as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess

liquidity.

5.1.1  Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and

commodity prices.

i.  Commodity price risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations on crude oil prices. The uncertainty around the rate at which oil prices increase or decline

led to the Group’s decision to enter into an option contract to insure the Group’s revenue against adverse oil price movements.

Crude hedge

During the last quarter of 2025, the Group entered into an economic crude oil hedge contract with an average strike price of ₦77,751

($51.25/bbl.) for 12 million barrels at an average premium price of ₦1,817 ($1.20 /bbl.) agreed at the contract dates.

These contracts, which will commence on 1 January 2026, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price fluctuations of oil. The

Group made a prepayment of $12 million in the current year but a premium of $2.3 million barrels will be settled on a deferred basis. An

unrealised fair value loss of ₦9.04 billion, $6.3 million has been recognised in 2025.

The termination dates are 31 March and 30 June 2026 respectively. Hedging the price volatility of forecast oil sales is in accordance with

the risk management strategy of the Group.

The maturity of the crude oil hedge contracts the Group holds is shown in the table below:

ii.  Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The Group has both variable and fixed

interest rate borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by

cash and short-term fixed deposit held at variable rates. Fixed rate borrowings only give rise to interest rate risk if measured at fair value.

The Group’s borrowings are not measured at fair value and are denominated in US Dollars. The Group is exposed to cash flow interest

rate risk on short-term deposits to the extent that the significant increases and reductions in market interest rates would result in a

decrease in the interest earned by the Group.

The contractual re-pricing date of the interest-bearing loans and borrowings is between 3-6 months. The exposure of the Group’s

variable interest-bearing loans and borrowings at the end of the reporting period is shown below.

5.1.2  Foreign exchange risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures that arise from sales or purchases in currencies other than the respective functional

currency. The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that balances and transactions are denominated in a currency other

than the US Dollar.

The Group holds most of its cash and bank balances in US Dollars. However, the Group maintains deposits in Naira in order to fund

ongoing general and administrative activities and other expenditure incurred in this currency. Other monetary assets and liabilities which

give rise to foreign exchange risk include trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. The following table demonstrates the

carrying value of monetary assets and liabilities exposed to foreign exchange risks for Naira exposures at the reporting date:

5.1.3  Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk

arises from cash and bank balances as well as credit exposures to customers (i.e. Vitol S.A. Shell Western, Pillar, Azura, Geregu Power,

Sapele Power and Nigerian Gas Marketing Company (NGMC) receivables), and other parties (i.e., NUIMS receivables, NEPL receivables and

other receivables).

a)    Risk management

The Group is exposed to credit risk from its sale of crude oil to Vito S.A. Exxonmobil, Waltersmith, Chevron and Shell Western. The Group

has an off-take agreement with Shell Western Supply and Trading Limited which expires in December 2026. The Group is exposed to

further credit risk from outstanding cash calls from NEPL and NUIMS.

In addition, the Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to the sale of gas to its customers.

The credit risk on cash and bank balances is managed through the diversification of banks in which the balances are held. The risk is

limited because the majority of deposits are with banks that have an acceptable credit rating assigned by an international credit agency.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk due to default of the counterparty is equal to the carrying value of its financial assets.

b)    Impairment of financial assets

The Group financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model are listed below. Contract assets are also subject to the

expected credit loss model, even though they are not financial assets, as they have substantially the same credit risk characteristics as

trade receivables. The impairment of receivables is disclosed in the table below.

• JV partner receivables

• Trade receivables

• Contract assets

• Other receivables

• Cash and bank balances

The parameters applied in assessing impairment for NEPL receivables, NUIMS receivables, other receivables and short-term fixed deposits

are summarised below. The probability of default for receivables in Stage 1 are measured using a 12-month Probability of Default (PD), while

receivables in Stages 2 and 3 are assessed using lifetime PD. The lifetime PDs reflect the maximum contractual period over which the

Group is exposed to credit risk on these financial assets.

The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative indicators in classifying its receivables into the relevant stages for impairment

calculation as shown below:

• Stage 1: This stage includes financial assets that are less than 30 days past due (performing).

• Stage 2: This stage includes financial assets that have been assessed to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk using

the days past due criteria (i.e. the outstanding receivables amounts are more than 30 days past due but less than 90 days past

due) and other qualitative indicators such as the increase in political risk concerns or other macro economic factors and the risk of

legal action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair future financial performance.

• Stage 3: This stage includes financial assets that have been assessed as being in default (i.e. receivables that are more than 90

days past due) or that have a clear indication that the imposition of financial or legal penalties and/or sanctions will make the full

recovery of indebtedness highly improbable.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

i.    NEPL receivables

NEPL receivables represent the outstanding cash calls due to Seplat from its joint venture partner, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation

Exploration Limited. The Group applies the IFRS 9 general model for measuring expected credit losses (ECL). This requires a three-stage

approach in recognising the expected loss allowance for NEPL receivables.

The ECL recognised for the period is a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses discounted at the effective interest rate of the

financial asset. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the

Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

The following analysis provides further detail about the calculation of ECLs related to these assets. The Group considers the model and

the assumptions used in calculating these ECLs as key sources of estimation uncertainty.

There was no write-off during the year (2024: nil). (See details in Note 26.2.)

ii.    NIUMS receivables

NUIMS receivables represent the outstanding cash calls due to Seplat from its Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) partner, NNPC Upstream

Investment Management Services. The Group applies the general model for measuring expected credit losses (ECL) which uses a three-

stage approach in recognising the expected loss allowance for NUIMS receivables.

The ECL was calculated based on actual credit loss experience from 2016, which is the date the Group initially became a party to the

contract. The following analysis provides further detail about the calculation of ECLs related to these assets. The Group considers the

model and the assumptions used in calculating these ECLs as key sources of estimation uncertainty. The tables below show the

expected credit losses for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024.

iii.    Trade receivables (Geregu Power, Sapele Power, Nigerian Gas Marketing Company and others)

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for

all trade receivables and contract assets. The impairment of trade receivables (Geregu Power, Sapele Power, NGMC and others) was

estimated by applying the provision matrix. The expected loss rate was calculated as the percentage of the receivable that is deemed

uncollectible during a particular period. The expected loss rates as at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 are as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

vi.    Cash and cash equivalents

The Group applies the IFRS 9 general model for measuring expected credit losses (ECL) which uses a three-stage approach in

recognising the expected loss allowance for cash and cash equivalents. The ECL was calculated as the probability weighted estimate of

the credit losses expected to occur over the contractual period of the facility after considering macroeconomic indicators.

Other cash, bank balances and restricted cash

The Group assessed the other cash, bank and restricted cash balances to determine their expected credit losses. Based on the

assessment performed, the expected credit loss figures were insignificant and not recognised due to materiality as at 31 December 2025

(2024: nil). The assets are assessed to be in Stage 1.

Credit quality of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash)

The credit quality of the Group’s cash and bank balances is assessed on the basis of external credit ratings (Fitch long-term ratings). As

shown below, cash and bank balances are all in Stage 1 based on the ECL assessment:

c.    Maximum exposure to credit risk – financial instruments subject to impairment

The Group estimated the expected credit loss on NEPL receivables, NUIMS receivables and short-term fixed deposits by applying the

general model. The gross carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risks on these assets.

All financial assets impaired using the general model (NEPL, NUIMS and short-term fixed deposits) are graded under the standard

monitoring credit grade (rated B- under Standard and Poor’s unmodified ratings) and are classified under Stage 1, except for the other

receivables which are graded under the investment grade (rated AA under Standard and Poor’s unmodified ratings) and classified in

Stage 2 and Stage 3.

d)    Roll forward movement in loss allowance

The loss allowance recognised in the period is impacted by a variety of factors, as described below:

• Transfers between Stage 1 and Stage 2 or Stage 3 due to financial instruments experiencing significant increases (or decreases) of

credit risk or becoming credit impaired in the period, and the consequent ‘step up’ (or ‘step down’) between 12-month and lifetime

ECL;

• Additional allowances for new financial instruments recognised during the period, as well as releases for financial instruments

derecognised in the period;

• Impact on the measurement of ECL due to changes in PDs, EADs and LGDs in the period, arising from regular refreshing of inputs

to models;

• Discount unwind within ECL due to passage of time, as ECL is measured on a present value basis;

• Foreign exchange retranslation for assets denominated in foreign currencies and other movements; and

• Financial assets derecognised during the period and write-off of receivables and allowances related to assets.

The following tables explain the changes in the loss allowance between the beginning and end of the annual period due to these factors:

e.    Estimation uncertainty in measuring impairment loss

The table below shows information on the sensitivity of the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets to the methods,

assumptions and estimates used in calculating impairment losses on those financial assets at the end of the reporting period. These

methods, assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Group’s

financial assets.

f. Estimation uncertainty in measuring provision for decommissioning obligations

The table below shows information on the sensitivity of the Company’s  provision for decommissioning obligations to the assumptions and

estimates used in calculating the present value of the estimated future cost of decommissioning its oil production facilities. These

assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Group’s financial liability.

Should these estimates vary, the profit or loss and statement of financial position in the following years would be impacted.

Estimates could change due to changes in inflation rate, expected cessation of production (CoP) date, discount rate and market prices.

The amount and timing of expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. Discount rate and

CoP date have been identified as the significant assumptions driving the estimate, and the sensitivity analyses are as shown below.

5.1.4    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by

ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet its commitments as they fall due.

The Group uses both long-term and short-term cash flow projections to monitor funding requirements for activities and to ensure there

are sufficient cash resources to meet operational needs. Cash flow projections take into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans

and covenant compliance. Surplus cash held is transferred to the treasury department which invests in interest-bearing current accounts

and time deposits.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed maturity periods.

\* Trade and other receivables exclude underlift, NGMC VAT receivables, cash advances and advance payments.

\*\* In determining the fair value of the interest-bearing loans and borrowings, non-performance risks of the Group as at period-end were assessed to be insignificant.

\*\*\* Trade and other payables exclude non-financial liabilities such as  taxes, overlift, pension and other non-contractual payables.

Trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments), contract assets and cash and bank balances are financial instruments whose carrying amounts as per the financial statements

approximate their fair values. This is mainly due to their short-term nature.

5.1.6    Fair value hierarchy

As at the reporting period, the Group had classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting

standards. There were no transfers of financial instruments between fair value hierarchy levels during the year.

• Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly

observable.

• Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The fair value of the financial instruments is included at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an

orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value of the property, plant and equipment (oil rig) held for sale is determined using the replacement cost of the asset and the

actual values market participants are willing to pay for the asset. These assets are of specialised nature and have been recognised under

Level 2.

The valuation process

The finance & planning team of the Group performs the valuations of financial and non-financial assets required for financial reporting

purposes, including Level 3 fair values. The corporate planning team reports to the Director, Strategy, Planning and Business Development

who reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Discussions on the valuation process and results are held between the Director

and the valuation team at least twice every year.

5.1.7  Capital management

Risk management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns

for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to maintain optimal capital structure and reduce cost of capital. Consistent with

others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the following: gearing ratio and net debt divided by total capital. Net debt

is calculated as total borrowings less cash and bank balances.

|  |  |  |  |  |

|  |  | Restated |  | Restated |
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | ₦ million | ₦ million | $'000 | $'000 |
| Interest-bearing loans and borrowings | 1,443,289 | 2,099,750 | 1,005,596 | 1,368,629 |
| Lease liabilities | 96,189 | 112,945 | 67,018 | 73,565 |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents | (476,970) | (721,385) | (332,326) | (469,862) |
| Net debt | 1,062,508 | 1,491,310 | 740,288 | 972,332 |
| Total equity | 2,643,236 | 2,828,983 | 1,841,655 | 1,842,606 |
| Total capital | 3,705,744 | 4,320,293 | 2,581,943 | 2,814,938 |
| Net debt (net debt/total capital) ratio | 29% | 35% | 29% | 35% |

During the year, the Group's strategy, which was unchanged from the prior year, was to maintain a net debt gearing ratio of 15% to 40%.

Capital includes share capital, share premiums, capital contribution and all other equity reserves.

As the Group continuously reviews its funding and maturity profile, it continues to monitor the market in ensuring that it is well positioned

for any refinancing and or buy back opportunities for the current debt facilities.

Loan covenants

Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities, the Group is required to comply with the following financial covenants:

• Total net financial indebtedness to annualised EBITDA is not to be greater than 3:1.

• The sources of funds exceed the relevant expenditures in each semi-annual period within the 18 months shown in the Group’s

liquidity plan.

• The minimum production levels stipulated for each six-month period must be achieved.

• The Cash Adjusted Debt Service Cover Ratio should be equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1 for each Calculation Period through to the

applicable Termination Date.

The Group has complied with these covenants throughout the reporting periods.

#### 6.    Segment reporting

Business segments are based on the Group’s internal organisation and management reporting structure. The Group’s business segments

are the two core businesses: oil and gas. The oil segment deals with the exploration, development and production of crude oil while the

gas segment deals with the production and processing of gas. These two reportable segments make up the total operations of the

Group.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, revenue from the gas segment of the business constituted 9% (2024: 11%) of the Group’s revenue.

Management is committed to continued growth of the gas segment of the business, including through increased investment to establish

additional offices, create a separate gas business operational management team and procure the required infrastructure for this segment

of the business. The gas business is positioned separately within the Group and reports directly to the chief operating decision maker. As

the gas business segment’s revenues, results and cash flows are largely independent of other business units within the Group, it is

regarded as a separate segment. The result is two reporting segments, oil and gas. There were no inter-segment sales during the

reporting periods under consideration, therefore all revenue was from external customers.

Amounts relating to the gas segment are determined using the gas cost centres, with the exception of depreciation. Depreciation relating

to the gas segment is determined by applying a percentage which reflects the proportion of the net book value of oil and gas properties

that relates to gas investment costs (i.e. cost for the gas processing facilities).

During the year, adjustments were made to appropriately align cost, revenue, assets and liabilities relating to NGL and the gas business.

The segment income for the reporting period now reflects the profit accruing to the oil and gas business respectively. For this purpose,

NGL has been categorised under the gas business.

The Group accounting policies are also applied in the segment reports.

Summary of acquisition

On 25 February 2022, Seplat Energy Plc (‘Seplat Energy’ or ‘Seplat’), announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the entire

share capital of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU). Under the terms of the acquisition, the former owners of MPNU (Mobil

loan facilities available to Seplat.  The transaction was completed on 12 December 2024 (the acquisition date) and from that date Seplat

Energy will be expected to align MPNU with its overall strategic goals and ESG objectives.

MPNU is a former Nigerian incorporated subsidiary of ExxonMobil with more than 55 years’ operating experience in Nigeria. MPNU’s

operated shallow water portfolio primarily comprises a 40% interest in four oil mining leases (OMLs 67, 68, 70 and 104) under a joint

operating agreement with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), along with the Qua Iboe Terminal and a 51% interest in the

Bonny River Terminal and the Natural Gas Liquids Recovery Plants at East Area Project (EAP) and Oso.

#### 8.    Restatement of comparative information

On 12 December 2024, Seplat Energy Plc (the ‘Group’) completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares of Seplat Energy Producing

Nigeria Unlimited (SEPNU).  In line with IFRS 3, the Group recognised the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their

acquisition‑date fair values as at the acquisition date. However, as at the end of the reporting period (i.e. 31 December 2024), management

had not obtained all the information necessary to finalise the fair value measurements of certain identifiable assets and liabilities.

Accordingly, provisional fair values for these items were recognised in the 2024 financial statements.

In the process of finalising the fair values, the Group has disclosed updated fair values to reflect the measurement period adjustments in

accordance with IFRS 3. The Group also identified some omissions which resulted in adjustments to prior figures.

period is less than its ownership share of production. The shortfall is initially measured at the market price of oil at the date of lifting and

recognised as other (loss)/income. At each reporting period, the shortfall is remeasured at the current market value. The resulting change,

as a result of the remeasurement, is also recognised in profit or loss as other income.

granted in the current and prior periods. These awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the grant-date fair value.

and residential facilities.

The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised is the weighted average interest rate applicable

to the Group’s general borrowings denominated in Dollars during the year, there was no capitalisation of interest costs (2024: 10.4%). The

amount capitalised during the year is nil (2024: ₦5.9 billion, $4 million).

The increase in interest expense during the year reflects increased drawn debt facilities (associated with the offshore assets acquisition)

and higher interest rates on the newly issued Eurobond.

Assets under construction represent costs capitalised in connection with the development of the Group’s oil fields and other property,

plant and equipment not yet ready for their intended use. Some of which are qualifying assets that take a substantial period to get ready

for their intended use. A capitalisation rate of nil (2024: 10.4%) has been determined and applied to the Group’s general borrowing to

determine the borrowing cost capitalised as part of the qualifying assets.

Transfers within the oil and gas assets relate to completed projects, previously under development moved to production and field facilities.

Borrowing costs capitalised during the year amounted to nil (2024: ₦5.99 billion, $4.05 million).

There was no oil and gas property pledged as security during the reporting period.

The Group has no contractual commitments to acquire any property, plant and equipment (2024: nil).

Impairment testing

There was no impairment loss recorded for OMLs 4, 38 and 41; OML 40; OML 53; OML 56; OMLs 67, 68, and 70; and OML 104 as there

was no observable impairment trigger during the year ended (2024: nil).

24.4.1  Interest in joint ventures

The shareholders’ agreement between the Group and Nigerian Gas Processing and Transportation Company (NGPTC) requires both

parties to have equal shareholding in ANOH. For the ownership structure, the Group has assessed its retained interest in ANOH and

determined that it has joint control. The Group's interest in ANOH is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity

method because the Group interest in ANOH is assessed to be a joint venture.

Set below is the information on the material joint venture of the Group, ANOH. The Company has share capital consisting solely of ordinary

shares, which are held directly by the Group. The country of incorporation or registration is also its principal place of business, and the

proportion of ownership interest is the same as the proportion of voting rights held. The Company is a private entity hence no quoted

price is available.

As at the reporting date, Pine Gas Processing Limited is yet to commence operations.

partner.

A contract asset is an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer. The

Group has recognised an asset in relation to a contract with Sapele Power, Azura, NGMC, Transcorp Power, MSN Energy, Waltersmith and

Pillar  for the delivery of oil and gas supplies which these customers have received but which has not been invoiced as at the end of the

reporting period.

The terms of payment relating to the contract are between 30-45 days from the invoice date. However, invoices are raised after delivery

between 14-21 days when the receivable amount has been established and the right to the receivables crystallises. The right to the

unbilled receivables is recognised as a contract asset. At the point where the gas receipt certificates and crude invoices  are obtained

from the customers (Sapele Power, Azura, NGMC, Transcorp Power, MSN Energy, Waltersmith and Pillar) upon volumes reconciliation with

offtakers authorising the quantities, this will be reclassified from contract assets to trade receivables.

#### 28.    Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses its derivatives for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Derivatives are measured at fair value

through profit or loss. They are presented as current liability to the extent they are expected to be settled within 12 months after the

reporting period.

The fair value has been determined using a proprietary pricing model which generates results from inputs. The market inputs to the model

31.4  Employee share-based payment scheme

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had 49,999,973 shares which are yet to fully vest. These shares have been assigned to certain

employees and senior executives in line with its share-based incentive scheme. Included in the share-based incentive schemes are two

additional schemes (2025 LTIP Scheme and 2025 Deferred Bonus scheme) awarded during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, 14,393,801 shares had vested out of which 1,051,086 shares were forfeited in relation to participants who could

not meet the vesting conditions during the period. The average forfeiture rate due to failure to meet non-market vesting condition is 11.98%

while the average due to staff exit is 14.81%. The Group also granted the 2024 Deferred Bonus and the 2025 LTIP Scheme to employees, with

awards granted to employees below the Board to be settled in cash, and awards to Board executives to be settled with equity.

The impact of applying the forfeiture rate of 26.79% on existing LTIP awards which are yet to vest will result in a reduction of share-based

compensation expense for the year by $2,021,272. The number of shares that eventually vested during the year after the forfeiture and

conditions above is 13,342,715 (Dec 2024: 17,567,776).

i.    Description of the awards valued

The Company has made a number of share-based awards under incentive plans since its IPO in 2014: IPO-related grants to Executive and

Non-Executive Directors, 2018/2020 Deferred Bonus awards and 2020 Long-Term Incentive plan (LTIP) awards. Shares under these

incentive plans were awarded at the IPO in April 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020 conditional on the Nigerian Stock Exchange

approving the share delivery mechanism proposed by the Company. A number of these awards have fully vested.

Seplat Deferred Bonus award

25% of each Executive Director’s 2024 bonus (paid in 2025) has been deferred into shares and would be released in 2026 subject to

continued employment over the vesting period. 2024 Deferred Bonus was approved by the Board and vested in 2025. No performance

criteria are attached to this award. As a result, the fair value of these awards is calculated using Monte Carlo model.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Under the LTIP , shares are granted to employees of the organisation at the end of every year. The shares were granted to the employees

at no cost. The shares vest (after three years) based on the following conditions.

• 25% vesting for median relative TSR performance rising to 100% for upper quartile performance on a straight-line basis.

• Relative TSR vesting reduced by 75% if 60% and below of operational and technical bonus metrics are achieved, with 35%

reduction if 70% of operational and technical bonus metrics are achieved and no reduction for 80% or above achievement.

• If the Company outperforms the median TSR performance level with the LTIP exploration and production comparator group.

The LTIP awards have been approved by the NSE.

| Outstanding at 31 December | 24,527,825 | 1.55 | 27,655,228 | 1.02 |

The shares are granted to the employees at no cost. The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share awards outstanding

as at 31 December 2025 range from 0.4 to 2 4 years (2024: 0.4 to 2 4 years).

The weighted average fair value of awards granted during the year range from ₦2,916 to ₦4,054 (2024: ₦3,200 to ₦3,209), $1.92 to $2 .67

(2024: $2.10 to $2.17).

The Long-Term Incentive Plan is independently determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method which takes into account the term of

the award, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-free

interest rate for the term of the award and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected

changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

$650 million Senior notes

On 21 March 2025, the Group refinanced the $650 million notes due 2026 with a new $650 million issuance maturing in 2030. The newly

issued $650 million notes due in 2030 carry a coupon rate of 9.125%, reflecting prevailing global market volatility. The $650 million bond

issuance was used exclusively to redeem the maturing $650 million note, with transaction costs covered from the Company’s cash

reserves.

The amortised cost for the senior notes as at the reporting period is $649.7 million, ₦932.5 million (Dec 2024: $657.6 million, ₦1,009 billion)

although the principal is $650 million.

$80 million Senior reserve based lending (RBL) facility – refinanced facility

On 30 September 2025, the Group, through its subsidiary Westport, successfully completed the refinancing of the Westport RBL Facility.

The new facility is an $80 million RBL facility with Standard Bank ($35 million), Mauritius Commercial Bank ($25 million), First City Monument

Bank (($12 million), and Zenith Bank (($8 million). Zenith Bank represents a new participant in this financing. The facility incurs a total interest

of SOFR + 6.5% margin.

The refinancing resulted in improved pricing terms, with the facility now carrying a margin of 6.5% for the first three years, increasing to

7.0% from year four onwards should the facility remain drawn. These margins are more favourable than those under the previous senior

(8.0% plus a CAS of 0.25%) and junior (10.5% plus a CAS of 0.25%) facilities. The final maturity date is five years from the effective date,

with an 18-month moratorium on principal repayments.

The amortised cost for the senior notes as at the reporting period is $53.5 million, ₦76.7 million (Dec 2024: $51.1 million, ₦78.5 million).

$50 million reserved based lending (RBL) facility

The $50 million junior offtake facility was fully repaid and cancelled on 25 August 2025. The facility was only drawn to $11 million and had a

headroom of  $26.5 million.

$350 million revolving credit facility

The $350 million Seplat RCF was amended and restated on 20 August 2024. The facility has a bullet repayment and incurs a total interest

of SOFR (incl. CAS) + 5% margin. Due to the refinancing of the $650 million notes that occurred on 21 March 2025, the final maturity of the

RCF was automatically extended to 31 December 2026 from 30 June 2025, an extension of 18 months. The RCF was fully drawn for the

completion of the MPNU transaction in December 2024, $250 million was prepaid on 31 March 2025, and the remaining $100 million was

prepaid on 28 July 2025. The amortised cost for the RCF as at the reporting period is nil (Dec 2024: $351.5 million,  ₦539.7 billion). The RCF

was subsequently refinanced to $400 million on January 31, 2026.

$300 million advance payment facility

On 6 December 2024, Seplat Energy Offshore Limited entered into an up to $300 million  advance payment facility (APF) with ExxonMobil

Financial Investment Company Limited (EMFICL), a fully owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil. The APF can be used for general corporate

purposes and was used to provide financing in the completion of the MPNU acquisition

The APF is currently fully drawn and bears interest at a rate of the aggregate of term SOFR (including a credit adjustment spread of 0.25%

per annum) plus 5% per annum.  This is the same pricing as our RCF.

Final maturity is three years following the date of the agreement, i.e December 2027. EMFICL concluded the syndication of the APF on 30

May 2025 and four additional bank lenders have entered the financing, namely, First Abu Dhabi Bank ($100 million), Standard Bank ($75

million), Mauritius Commercial Bank ($50 million) and Rand Merchant Bank ($45 million).

The amortised cost for the RCF as at the reporting period is $302.3 million, ₦433.9 million (2024: $297 million, ₦456 billion) although the

principal is $300 million.

The Group makes full provision for the future cost of decommissioning oil production facilities on a discounted basis upon

commencement of new well drills and facility construction and development so long as the estimates can be reliably determined. This

relates to the removal of assets as well as their associated restoration costs. This obligation is recorded in the period in which the liability

meets the definition of a “probable future sacrifice of economic benefits arising from a present obligation”, and in which it can be

reasonably measured.

The provision represents the present value of estimated future expenditure to be incurred as highlighted in the table below which is the

current expectation as to when the producing facilities are expected to cease operations. Management engaged a third party as well as

its internal engineers to assist with an estimate of the future expenditure to be incurred. The estimates for 2025 were computed by

management using the cessation of production (CoP) dates contained in the Competent Person's Reports (CPRs) provided by Ryder

Scott for all the OMLs based on current assumptions of the economic environment which management believes to be a reasonable basis

upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to consider any material changes to the assumptions.

However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for necessary decommissioning works required

that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.

Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at economically viable rates.

#### 37.    Employee benefit obligation

37.1  Defined contribution plan

The Group contributes to a funded defined contribution retirement benefit scheme for its employees in compliance with the provisions of

the Pension Reform Act 2014. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to an approved

Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) – a separate entity. The assets of the scheme are managed by various PFAs patronised by employees

of the Group. The Group’s contributions are charged to the profit and loss account in the year to which they relate.

37.2  Defined benefit plan

i.    Investment management strategy and policy

The Group operates a partly funded defined benefit pension plan in Nigeria under the regulation of the National Pension Commission. The

plan provides benefits to all the employees (excluding Directors holding salaried employment in the Group) who have been employed by

the Group for a continuous period of six months and whose employment has been confirmed. The employee’s entitlement to the accrued

benefits occurs on retirement from the Group. The level of benefits provided on severance depends on members’ length of service and

salary at retirement age.

The overall investment philosophy of the defined benefit plan fund is to ensure safety, optimum returns and liquidity in line with the

regulation and guidelines of the Pension Reform Act 2014 or guidelines that may be issued from time to time by the National Pension

Commission.

Plan assets are held in trust. Responsibility for supervision of the plan assets (including investment decisions and contributions schedules)

lies jointly with the trustees and the pension fund managers. The trustees are made up of members of the Group’s senior management

appointed by the Chief Executive Officer. The Group does not have an investment strategy of matching plan assets with the defined

obligations as they fall due, however, it has an obligation to settle shortfalls in the plan assets upon annual actuarial valuations.

The provision for the defined benefit plan is based on an independent actuarial valuation performed by Logic Professional Services (LPS)

for Seplat Energy Plc and Ernest and Young Nigeria for SEPNU  using the projected credit unit method. The provision is adjusted for

inflation, interest rate risks, changes in salary and changes in the life expectancy for the beneficiaries.

The amount payable as at 31 December 2025 was ₦3.9 billion, $2.7 million (2024: ₦76.9 billion, $50.1 million).

The Group does not have any funding arrangement or policy that impacts future contributions to the plan assets.

The following tables summarise the components of net defined benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income and in the statement of financial position for the respective plans:

ii.    Liability recognised in the financial position

The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on net defined benefit obligation

as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. The methods and assumptions used in

preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

The sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to

occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The expected maturity analysis of the undiscounted defined benefit plan obligation is as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | ₦ million | ₦ million | $'000 | $'000 |
| Within the next 12 months (next annual reporting period) | 6,020 | 1,030 | 4,194 | 671 |
| Between 2 and 5 years | 27,436 | 7,043 | 19,116 | 4,587 |
| Between 6 and 10 years | 222,827 | 31,435 | 155,252 | 20,475 |
| Beyond 10 years | 741,006 | 442,174 | 516,288 | 288,002 |
|  | 997,289 | 481,682 | 694,850 | 313,735 |

The weighted average liability duration for the plan is 9.42 years (2024: 8.55 years). The longest weighted duration for Nigerian

Government bonds as at 31 December 2025 was about 6.99 years (2024: 6.32 years) with a gross redemption yield of about 14.99%

(2024: 17.5%).

a)    Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit pension plans, the Group is exposed to several risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

i)  Liquidity risk

The plan liabilities are not fully funded and as a result, there is a risk that the Group may not have the required cash flow to fund future

defined benefit obligations as they fall due.

ii)  Infalation risk

This is the risk of an unexpected significant rise/fall of market interest rates. A rise leads to a fall in long-term asset values and a rise in

liability values.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

b)  Life expectancy

The majority of the plans’ obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an

increase in the plans’ liabilities. This is particularly significant, where inflationary increases result in higher sensitivity to changes in life

expectancy.

c) Asset volatility

The Group holds a significant proportion of its plan assets in fixed income securities and money market instruments, with limited exposure

to equities.

for asset held for sale of $1.4 million, ₦2.1 billion in the current period plus the existing balance of $8.5 million, ₦12.2 billion  ( 2024: $8.5 million,

₦12.6 billion) and other vendor payables of $210 million, ₦301.4 billion (Dec 2024 : $459.2 million, ₦705.6 billion). Royalties payable include

accruals in respect of crude oil and gas production for which payment is outstanding at the end of the period.

Overlifts are excess crude lifted above the share of production. they may exist when the crude oil lifted by the Group during the period is

above its ownership share of production. Overlifts are initially measured at the market price of oil at the date of lifting and recognised in

profit or loss. At each reporting period, overlifts are remeasured at the current market value. The resulting change, as a result of the

remeasurement, is also recognised in profit or loss and any amount unpaid at the end of the year is recognised in overlift payable.

38.1  Share-based payment liability

During the year, the Group granted 2025 LTIP awards to employees. These awards were to be settled as cash-settled share-based

payments. See Note 31.4 for details on these awards.

#### 40.    Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic

Basic EPS is calculated on the Group’s profit after taxation attributable to the parent entity, which is based on the weighted average

number of issued and fully paid ordinary shares at the end of the year.

Diluted

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit after taxation attributable to the parent entity by the weighted average number of ordinary

shares outstanding during the year plus all the dilutive potential ordinary shares (arising from outstanding share awards in the share-based

payment scheme) into ordinary shares.

#### Notes to the separate financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2025

#### 1.      Corporate information and business

Seplat Energy Plc (formerly called Seplat Petroleum Development

Company Plc, hereafter referred to as ‘Seplat’ or the ‘Company’)

was incorporated on 17 June 2009 as a private limited liability

company and re-registered as a public company on 3 October

2014, under the Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAP C20, Laws

of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. The Company commenced

operations on 1 August 2010. The Company is principally engaged

in oil and gas exploration.

The Company’s registered address is: 1, Lekki-Epe Expressway,

Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Company acquired, pursuant to an agreement for assignment

dated 31 January 2010 between the Company, Shell Petroleum

Development Company, TOTAL and AGIP, a 45% participating

interest in the following producing assets:

OML 4, OML 38 and OML 41 located in Nigeria. The total purchase

price for these assets was ₦104 billion ($340 million) paid at the

completion of the acquisition on 31 July 2010 and a contingent

payment of ₦10 billion ($33 million) payable 30 days after the

second anniversary, 31 July 2012, if the average price per barrel of

Brent crude oil over the period from acquisition up to 31 July 2012

exceeds ₦24,560 ($80) per barrel. ₦110 billion ($358.6 million) was

allocated to the producing assets including ₦5.7 billion ($18.6

million) as the fair value of the contingent consideration as

calculated on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration of

₦10 billion ($33 million) was paid on 22 October 2012.

On 1 January 2022, Seplat Energy Plc transferred its 45%

participating interest in OML 4, OML 38 and OML 41 (‘transferred

assets’) to Seplat West Limited. As a result, Seplat ceased to be a

party to the Joint Operating Agreement in respect of the

transferred assets and became a holding company. Seplat West

Limited became a party to the Joint Operating Agreement in

respect of the transferred assets and assumed its rights and

obligations.

On 20 May 2022, following a special resolution by the Board in

view of the Company’s strategy of transitioning into an energy

company promoting renewable energy, sustainability, and new

energy, the name of the Company was changed from Seplat

Petroleum Development Company Plc to Seplat Energy Plc under

the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2022.

#### 2.      Significant changes in the current accounting period

Notes to the separate financial statements continued

The financial statements have been prepared under the going

concern assumption and historical cost convention, except for

contingent liability and consideration, and defined benefit plans –

plan assets measured at fair value. The financial statements are

presented in Nigerian Naira and United States Dollars, and all

values are rounded to the nearest million (₦ million ) and thousand

($'000) respectively, except when otherwise indicated.

Nothing has come to the attention of the Directors to indicate that

the Company will not remain a going concern for at least 12

months from the date of this statement.

3.3    New and amended standards adopted by the

Group

The following standards and amendments became effective for

annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Company

has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or

amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

a)  Lack of Exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21

For annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025,

Lack of Exchangeability - Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of

Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates specifies how an entity

should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it

should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is

lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information

that enables users of its financial statements to understand how

the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency

affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance,

financial position and cash flows.

The amendments did not have a material impact on the

Company’s financial statements.

b)          Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial

Statements

The IASB issued Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial

Statements, which added illustrative examples to the guidance

accompanying several IFRS Accounting Standards. There are six

examples and the objective of those examples is to illustrate how

an entity applies the requirements in IFRS Accounting Standards to

report the effects of uncertainties in its financial statements.

Although the examples are climate-related, the principles in the

examples can be applied to other uncertainties. The guidance has

a similar authority to agenda decisions from the IFRS

interpretations Committee (IC). Depending on how an entity has

applied and considered the consistency between financial and

non-financial reporting in the past, the impact of these examples,

and whether they result in additional disclosures, might differ. The

Company has carefully considered how the principles in the

examples impact the disclosures in financial statements and

concluded that the amendments do not have a material impact on

the Group’s financial statements.

3.4    Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are

issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the

Company’s interim financial statements, are disclosed below. The

Company intends to adopt these new and amended standards

and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

Details of these new standards and interpretations are set out

below:

a)  Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or

Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its

Associate or Joint Venture

The IASB has made limited scope amendments to IFRS 10

Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in

Associates and Joint Ventures.

The amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales or

contribution of assets between an investor and their associates or

joint ventures. They confirm that the accounting treatment

depends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed

to an associate or joint venture constitute a ‘business' (as defined

in IFRS 3 Business Combinations).

Where the non-monetary assets constitute a business, the

investor will recognise the full gain or loss on the sale or

contribution of assets. If the assets do not meet the definition of a

business, the gain or loss is recognised by the investor only to the

extent of the other investor's interests in the associate or joint

venture. The amendments apply prospectively.

b)  IFRS 18 –Presentation and Disclosures of Financial

Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1

Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new

requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss,

including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are

required to classify all income and expenses within the statement

of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing,

financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the

first three are new.

It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined

performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and

includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of

financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary

financial statements (PFS) and the notes.

IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but

earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will

apply retrospectively.

c)  IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability:

Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities

to elect to apply its reduced disclosure requirements while still

applying the recognition, measurement and presentation

requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. To be eligible, at

the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as

defined in IFRS 10, cannot have public accountability and must

have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares

consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which

comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 will become

effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027,

with early application permitted.

d)    Amendments to the Classification and

Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments

to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7,

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial

Instruments (the Amendments). The Amendments include:

• A clarification that a financial liability is derecognised on the

‘settlement date’ and the introduction of an accounting policy

choice (if specific conditions are met) to derecognise financial

liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the

settlement date

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

• Additional guidance on how the contractual cash flows for

financial assets with environmental, social and governance

(ESG) and similar features should be assessed

• Clarifications on what constitute ‘non-recourse features’ and

what are the characteristics of contractually linked instruments

• The introduction of disclosures for financial instruments with

contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for

equity instruments classified at fair value through other

comprehensive income (OCI)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or

after 1 January 2026 with early adoption permitted for classification

of financial assets and related disclosures only.

The Company is currently assessing the amendments to

determine any impact they will have on the Company’s financial

statements.

e)  Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting

Standards – Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued nine narrow scope amendments as

part of its periodic maintenance of IFRS Accounting Standards.

The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections

or changes to improve consistency in IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of

International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7 Financial

Instruments: Disclosure and its accompanying Guidance on

implementing IFRS 7, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10

Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statements of Cash

Flows.

The amendments will be effective for reporting periods beginning

on or after 1 January 2026. Earlier application is permitted and must

be disclosed.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on

the Company’s financial statements.

f)  Contracts Referencing Nature- dependent Electricity

– Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In December 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and

IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature - dependent Electricity. The

amendments apply only to contracts that reference nature-

dependent electricity, and :

• Clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-

scope contracts

• Amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a

cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts

• Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to

understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s

financial performance and cash flows.

The amendments will take effect for annual reporting periods

starting on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption is allowed, but it

must be disclosed. The amendments concerning the own-use

exception are to be applied retrospectively, while the hedge

accounting amendments should be applied prospectively to new

hedging relationships designated from the initial application date.

Additionally, the IFRS 7 disclosure amendments must be

implemented alongside the IFRS 9 amendments. If an entity does

not restate comparative information, it cannot present

comparative disclosures.

The Company does not expect that the amendments will have a

material impact on its financial statements.

3.5    Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the

Company operates (‘the functional currency’), which is the US

dollar. The financial statements are presented in Nigerian Naira and

US Dollars.

The Company has chosen to show both presentation currencies

and this is allowable by the regulator.

i    Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional

currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the

transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the

settlement of such transactions and from the translation of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

at year end are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are

presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All

other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the

statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other income or

other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign

currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date

when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on

assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the

fair value gain or loss or other comprehensive income depending

on where fair value gain or loss is reported.

ii.        Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a

functional currency different from the presentation currency are

translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position

presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the

reporting date.

• Income and expenses for statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income are translated at average exchange

rates (unless this is not – a reasonable approximation of the

cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction

dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at

the dates of the transactions), and all resulting exchange

differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other

comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation

is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill and fair value adjustments

arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as

assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the

closing rate.

3.6    Joint arrangements

Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint

arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint

ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and

obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the

joint arrangement. The Company accounts for interest in the joint

venture at cost.

3.7  Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures

Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are accounted for at

cost in accordance with IAS 28.

Notes to the separate financial statements continued

3.8    Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less

accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or

construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the

asset into operation, the initial estimate of any decommissioning

obligation and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The

purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid

and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the

asset. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment

have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate

items of property, plant and equipment.

Expenditure on major maintenance refits or repairs comprises the

cost of replacement assets or parts of assets, inspection costs

and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was

separately depreciated and is now written off is replaced and it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with the item

will flow to the entity, the expenditure is capitalised. Inspection

costs associated with major maintenance programme are

capitalised and amortised over the period to the next inspection.

Overhaul costs for major maintenance programmes are

capitalised as incurred as long as these costs increase the

efficiency of the unit or extend the useful life of the asset. All other

maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line

basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation commences

when an asset is available for use. The depreciation rate for each

class is as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| Plant and machinery | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 25%-30% |
| Office furniture and IT equipment | 10%-33.33% |
| Building | 4% |
| Land | - |
| Intangible assets | 5% |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the unexpired  portion of the lease |

The expected useful lives and residual values of property, plant

and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis and, if necessary,

changes in useful lives are accounted for prospectively.

Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are

determined as the difference between disposal proceeds and

carrying amount of the disposed assets. These gains or losses are

included in profit or loss.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part

initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal (i.e at the date

the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits

are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on

derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between

the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is

included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is

derecognised.

3.9    Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,

construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets

that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for

their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,

until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their

intended use or sale.

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in

connection with the borrowing of funds. These costs may arise

from specific borrowings used for the purpose of financing the

construction of a qualifying asset, and those that arise from

general borrowings that would have been avoided if the

expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made. The

general borrowing costs attributable to an asset’s construction are

calculated by reference to the weighted average cost of general

borrowings that are outstanding during the period.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of

specific borrowings pending their expenditure on the qualifying

assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for

capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or

loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3.10  Finance income and costs

Finance income

Finance income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as

it accrues using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate

that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts

through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter

period, where appropriate, to the amortised cost of the financial

instrument. The determination of finance income considers all

contractual terms of the financial instrument as well as any fees or

incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument

and are an integral part of the EIR, but not future credit losses.

Finance costs

Finance costs includes borrowing costs, interest expense

calculated using the effective interest rate method, finance

charges in respect of lease liabilities, the unwinding of the effect of

discounting provisions, and the amortisation of discounts and

premiums on debt instruments that are liabilities.

3.11  Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject

to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more

frequently. Other non-financial assets are tested for impairment

whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the

carrying amount may not be recoverable. Individual assets are

grouped for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level

at which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely

independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. This

should be at a level not higher than an operating segment.

If any such indication of impairment exists or when annual

impairment testing for an asset group is required, the entity makes

an estimate of its recoverable amount. Such indicators include

changes in the Company’s business plans, changes in commodity

prices, evidence of physical damage and, for oil and gas

properties, significant downward revisions of estimated

recoverable volumes or increases in estimated future

development expenditure.

| [OVERVIEW](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_16) | [STRATEGIC REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_52) | [GOVERNANCE REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_226) | [SUSTAINABILITY REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_151) | [FINANCIAL STATEMENTS](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_313) | [ADDITIONAL INFORMATION](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_1114) |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less

costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). The recoverable

amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset

does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of

those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the

asset is tested as part of a larger cash generating unit to which it

belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds

its recoverable amount, the asset group is considered impaired

and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for

possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting

period.

In calculating VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted

to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the

risks specific to the asset/CGU. In determining FVLCD, recent

market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions

can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These

calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share

prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value

indicators.

3.12  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows

comprise cash at banks and at hand and short-term deposits with

an original maturity of three months or less that are readily

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to

an insignificant risk of change in value.

3.13  Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents deposits with banks set aside for the

settlement of  abandonment and decommissioning liabilities,

unclaimed dividends, bank guarantee on garnishees against court

judgments and for the purpose of covering the costs payable on

the stamping and registering the security documents on loans and

borrowings.

These amounts are subject to legal restrictions and are therefore

not available for general use by the Company

3.14  Prepayments

Prepayments are non-financial assets which result when

payments are made in advance of the receipt of goods and

services. They are recognised when the Company expects to

receive future economic benefits equivalent to the value of the

prepayments. The receipt or consumption of the services results in

a reduction in the prepayment and a corresponding increase in

expenses or assets for that reporting period

3.20  Contract asset

Contract asset is the entity’s right to consideration in exchange for

goods or services that the entity has transferred to the customer.

A contract asset becomes a receivable when the entity’s right to

consideration is unconditional, which is the case when only the

passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is

due. The impairment of contract assets is measured, presented

and disclosed on the same basis as financial assets that are within

the scope of IFRS 9.

3.15  Financial instruments

IFRS 9 provides guidance on the recognition, classification and

measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;

derecognition of financial instruments; impairment of financial

assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 also significantly amends

other standards dealing with financial instruments such as IFRS 7

Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

a)    Classification and measurement

Financial assets

It is the Company’s policy to initially recognise financial assets at

fair value plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial

assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss which are

expensed in profit or loss.

Classification and subsequent measurement are dependent on

the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the

cash flow characteristics of the asset. On this basis, the Company

may classify its financial instruments at amortised cost, fair value

through profit or loss and at fair value through other

comprehensive income.

All the Company’s financial assets as at 31 December 2025 satisfy

the conditions for classification at amortised cost under IFRS 9

except for derivatives which are reclassified at fair value through

profit or loss.

The Company’s financial assets include intercompany receivables,

other receivables, cash and cash equivalents. They are included in

current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after

the reporting date. Interest income from these assets is included in

finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain

or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or

loss and presented in finance income/cost.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Company are classified and measured at

fair value on initial recognition and subsequently at amortised cost

net of directly attributable transaction costs, except for derivatives

which are classified and subsequently recognised at fair value

through profit or loss.

Fair value gains or losses for financial liabilities designated at fair

value through profit or loss are accounted for in profit or loss

except for the amount of change that is attributable to changes in

the Company’s own credit risk which is presented in other

comprehensive income. The remaining amount of change in the

fair value of the liability is presented in profit or loss. The

Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

b)    Impairment of financial assets

Recognition of impairment provisions under IFRS 9 is based on the

expected credit loss (ECL) model. The ECL model is applicable to

financial assets classified at amortised cost and contract assets

under IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The

measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-

weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of

possible outcomes, time value of money and reasonable and

supportable information that is available without undue cost or

effort at the reporting date, about past events, current conditions

and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Company applies the simplified approach or the three-stage

general approach to determine impairment of receivables

depending on their respective nature.

The simplified approach requires expected lifetime losses to be

recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. This involves

determining the expected loss rates using a provision matrix that is

based on the Company’s historical default rates observed over the

expected life of the receivable and adjusted forward-looking

estimates. This is then applied to the gross carrying amount of the

receivable to arrive at the loss allowance for the period.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

Notes to the separate financial statements continued

The three-stage approach assesses impairment based on

changes in credit risk since initial recognition using the past due

criterion and other qualitative indicators such as increase in political

concerns or other macroeconomic factors and the risk of legal

action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair

future financial performance. Financial assets classified as Stage 1

have their ECL measured as a proportion of their lifetime ECL that

results from possible default events that can occur within one

year, while assets in Stage 2 or 3 have their ECL measured on a

lifetime basis.

Under the three-stage approach, the ECL is determined by

projecting the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD)

and exposure at default (EAD) for each ageing bucket and for

each individual exposure. The PD is based on default rates

determined by external rating agencies for the counterparties. The

LGD is determined based on management’s estimate of expected

cash recoveries after considering the historical pattern of the

receivable, and it assesses the portion of the outstanding

receivable that is deemed to be irrecoverable at the reporting

period. The EAD is the total amount of outstanding receivable at

the reporting period. These three components are multiplied

together and adjusted for forward-looking information, such as the

gross domestic product (GDP) in Nigeria and crude oil prices, to

arrive at an ECL which is then discounted back to the reporting

date and summed. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is

the original effective interest rate or an approximation thereof.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost

are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the related

financial assets and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit

or loss.

c)    Significant increase in credit risk and default

definition

The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial assets based

on the information obtained during periodic review of publicly

available information, industry trends and payment records. Based

on the analysis of the information provided, the Company identifies

the assets that require close monitoring.

Furthermore, financial assets that have been identified to be more

than 30 days past due on contractual payments are assessed to

have experienced significant increase in credit risk. These assets

are grouped as part of Stage 2 financial assets where the three-

stage approach is applied.

In line with the Company’s credit risk management practices, a

financial asset is defined to be in default when contractual

payments have not been received at least 90 days after the

contractual payment period. Subsequent to default, the Company

carries out active recovery strategies to recover all outstanding

payments due on receivables. Where the Company determines

that there are no realistic prospects of recovery, the financial asset

and any related loss allowance is written off either partially or in full.

d)  Write-off policy

The Company writes off financial assets, in whole or in part, when

it has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded

that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that

there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include:

• ceasing enforcement activity: and

• where the Company's recovery method is foreclosing on

collateral and the value of the collateral is such that there is no

reasonable expectation of recovering in full.

The Company may write-off financial assets that are still subject to

enforcement activity. The outstanding contractual amounts of

such assets written off during the year ended 31 December 2025

was nil, (2024: nil). The Company seeks to recover amounts it its

legally owed in full but which have been partially written off due to

no reasonable expectation of full recovery.

e)    Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the

contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire

or when it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for

derecognition. Gains or losses on derecognition of financial assets

are recognised as finance income/cost.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognises a financial liability when it is

extinguished,  i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is

discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial

liability is replaced by another from the same lender on

substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are

substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated

as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a

new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is

recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

f)    Modification

When the contractual cash flows of a financial instrument are

renegotiated or otherwise modified and the renegotiation or

modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial

instrument, the Company recalculates the gross carrying amount

of the financial instrument and recognises a modification gain or

loss immediately within finance income/(cost) – net at the date of

the modification. The gross carrying amount of the financial

instrument is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated

or modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the

financial instrument’s original effective interest rate.

g)    Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount

reported in the statement of financial position when and only when

there is legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amount,

and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously.

The legally enforceable right is not contingent on future events

and is enforceable in the normal course of business, and in the

event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the

counterparty.

i)    Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or

paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market

participants at the measurement date. When available, the

Company measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted

prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded

as active if quoted prices are readily available and represent actual

and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length

basis.

If a market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company

establishes fair value using valuation techniques. Valuation

techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions

between knowledgeable, willing parties (if available), reference to

the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the

same, and discounted cash flow analysis. The chosen valuation

technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as

possible on estimates specific to the Company, incorporates all

factors that market participants would consider in setting a price,

and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for

pricing financial instruments.

Inputs to valuation techniques reasonably represent market

expectations and measure the risk-return factors inherent in the

financial instrument. The Company calibrates valuation techniques

and tests them for validity using prices from observable current

market transactions in the same instrument or based on other

available observable market data.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial

recognition is the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the

consideration given or received. However, in some cases, the fair

value of a financial instrument on initial recognition may be

different to its transaction price. If such fair value is evidenced by

comparison with other observable current market transactions in

the same instrument (without modification or repackaging) or

based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data

from observable markets, then the difference is recognised in the

income statement on initial recognition of the instrument. In other

cases, the difference is not recognised in the income statement

immediately but is recognised over the life of the instrument on an

appropriate basis or when the instrument is redeemed, transferred

or sold, or the fair value becomes observable.

3.16  Share capital

On issue of ordinary shares any consideration received net of any

directly attributable transaction costs is included in equity.  Issued

share capital has been translated at the exchange rate prevailing

at the date of the transaction and is not retranslated subsequent

to initial recognition.

3.17  Earnings per share and dividends

Basic EPS

Basic earnings per share is calculated on the Company’s profit or

loss after taxation and based on the weighted average of issued

and fully paid ordinary shares at the end of the year.

Diluted EPS

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after taxation

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding

during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary

shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive

potential ordinary shares (after adjusting for outstanding share

options arising from the share-based payment scheme) into

ordinary shares.

Dividend

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability in the

period in which they are approved.

3.18  Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service

is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be

paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation

to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the

employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

3.19  Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution scheme

The Company contributes to a defined contribution scheme for

its employees in compliance with the provisions of the Pension

Reform Act 2014. The scheme is fully funded and is managed by

licensed Pension Fund Administrators. Membership of the

scheme is automatic upon commencement of duties at the

Company. The Company’s contributions to the defined

contribution scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in

the year to which they relate.

Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an entity in

exchange for services rendered by employees or for the termination

of employment. The Company operates a defined contribution plan,

and it is accounted for based on IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans

under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate

entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligation to

pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets

to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the

current and prior periods. Under defined contribution plans the

entity’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to the amount that

it agrees to contribute to the fund.

Thus, the amount of  post-employment benefits received by the

employee is determined by the amount of contributions paid by an

entity (and perhaps also the employee) to a post-employment

benefit plan or to an insurance company, together with investment

returns arising from the contributions. In consequence, actuarial risk

(that benefits will be less than expected) and investment risk (that

assets invested will be insufficient to meet expected benefits) fall, in

substance, on the employee.

3.20    Provisions

Provisions are recognised when (i) the Company has a present

legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is

probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to

settle the obligation as a whole; and (iii) the amount can be reliably

estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

In measuring the provision:

• risks and uncertainties are taken into account;

• the provisions are discounted (where the effects of the time

value of money is considered to be material) using a pre-tax

rate that is reflective of current market assessments of the

time value of money and the risk specific to the liability;

• when discounting is used, the increase of the provision over

time is recognised as interest expense;

• future events,  such as changes in law and technology, are

taken into account where there is subjective audit evidence

that they will occur; and

• gains from expected disposal of assets are not taken into

account, even if the expected disposal is closely linked to the

event giving rise to the provision.

Decommissioning

Liabilities for decommissioning costs are recognised as a result of

the constructive obligation of past practice in the oil and gas

industry, when it is probable that an outflow of economic

resources will be required to settle the liability and a reliable

estimate can be made. The estimated costs, based on current

requirements, technology and price levels, prevailing at the

reporting date, are computed based on the latest assumptions as

to the scope and method of abandonment.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s

best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the present

obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate

used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the

risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the

passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The

corresponding amount is capitalised as part of the oil and gas

properties and is amortised on a unit-of-production basis as part

of the depreciation, depletion and amortisation charge. Any

adjustment arising from the estimated cost of the restoration and

abandonment cost is capitalised, while the charge arising from the

accretion of the discount applied to the expected expenditure is

treated as a component of finance costs.

If the change in estimate results in an increase in the

decommissioning provision and, therefore, an addition to the

carrying value of the asset, the Company considers whether this is

an indication of impairment of the asset as a whole, and if so, tests

for impairment in accordance with IAS 36. If, for mature fields, the

revised oil and gas assets net of decommissioning provisions

exceed the recoverable value, that portion of the increase is

charged directly to expense.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the

Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and

when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits

are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the

reporting date, then they are discounted.

3.21  Income taxation

i.          Current income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable

on the current period’s taxable income, based on the applicable

income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in

deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary

differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax

charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or

substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the

countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates

operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically

evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in

which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It

establishes provisions, where appropriate, based on amounts

expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

ii.        Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on

temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets

and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial

statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates

(and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the

end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the

related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred

income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future

taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary

differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset

where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax

assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to

the same taxation authority.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has

a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a

net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability

simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or

loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in

other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the

tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in

equity, respectively.

iii.        Uncertainty over income tax treatments

The Company examines where there is an uncertainty regarding

the treatment of an item, including taxable profit or loss, the tax

bases of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates.

It considers each uncertain tax treatment separately, depending

on which approach better predicts the resolution of the

uncertainty. The factors it considers include:

• how it prepares and supports the tax treatment; and

• the approach that it expects the tax authority to take during

an examination.

If the Company concludes that it is probable that the tax authority

will accept an uncertain tax treatment that has been taken or is

expected to be taken on a tax return, it determines the accounting

for income taxes consistently with that tax treatment. If it

concludes that it is not probable that the treatment will be

accepted, it reflects the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax

accounting in the period in which that determination is made (for

example, by recognising an additional tax liability or applying a

higher tax rate).

The Company measures the impact of the uncertainty using

methods that best predict the resolution of the uncertainty. The

Company uses the most likely method where there are two

possible outcomes, and the expected value method when there

are a range of possible outcomes.

The Company assumes that the tax authority with the right to

examine and challenge tax treatments will examine those

treatments and have full knowledge of all related information. As a

result, it does not consider detection risk in the recognition and

measurement of uncertain tax treatments. The Company applies

consistent judgements and estimates on current and deferred

taxes. Changes in tax laws or the presence of new tax information

by the tax authority is treated as a change in estimate in line with

IAS 8  – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates

and Errors.

Judgements and estimates made to recognise and measure the

effect of uncertain tax treatments are reassessed whenever

circumstances change or when there is new information that

affects those judgements. New information might include actions

by the tax authority, evidence that the tax authority has taken a

particular position in connection with a similar item, or the expiry of

the tax authority’s right to examine a particular tax treatment. The

absence of any comment from the tax authority is unlikely to be, in

isolation, a change in circumstances or new information that would

lead to a change in estimate.

3.22  Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive

remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby

employees render services as consideration for equity instruments

(equity-settled transactions).

Some employees (below senior executive positions) in the

Company are granted share appreciation rights, which are settled

in cash (cash-settled transactions).

a)    Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair

value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate

valuation model.

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense together

with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment

reserve), over the period in which the service and, where

applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting

period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled

transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects

the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the

Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that

will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in profit or loss for a

period represents the movement in cumulative expense

recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken

into account when determining the grant date and for fair value of

awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed

as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity

instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance

conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other

conditions attached to an award, but without an associated

service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions.

Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award

and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are

also service and/or performance conditions.

| [OVERVIEW](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_16) | [STRATEGIC REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_52) | [GOVERNANCE REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_226) | [SUSTAINABILITY REPORT](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_151) | [FINANCIAL STATEMENTS](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_313) | [ADDITIONAL INFORMATION](#i66125f98400d44deabf9a9f141bf2d2c_1114) |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest

because non-market performance and/or service conditions have

not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting

condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of

whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided

that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the

minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the

unmodified award, provided the original terms of the award are

met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of

modification, is recognised for any modification that increases the

total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is

otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is

cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining

element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately

through profit or loss. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is

reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted

earnings per share.

b)    Cash-settled transactions

A liability is recognised for the fair value of cash-settled

transactions. The fair value is measured initially and at each

reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with

changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

The fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date

with recognition of a corresponding liability. The fair value is

determined using a binomial model. The approach used to

account for vesting conditions when measuring equity-settled

transactions also applies to cash-settled transactions.

#### 4.      Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s historical financial information

requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,

expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,

and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these

assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a

material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities

affected in future periods.

4.1.    Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are

described below. The Company based its assumptions and

estimates on parameters available when the financial statements

were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about

future developments may change due to market changes or

circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the

Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when

they occur.

i.    Share-based payment reserve

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions

requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model,

which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This

estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate

inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the

share award or appreciation right, volatility and dividend yield and

making assumptions about them. The Company measures the fair

value of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant

date. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value

for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 19.4.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the

future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,

seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and

assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical

experience and other factors, including expectations of future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the

circumstances.

ii.    Useful life of other property, plant and equipment

The Company recognises depreciation on other property, plant

and equipment on a straight-line basis in order to write-off the

cost of the asset over its expected useful life. The economic life of

an asset is determined based on existing wear and tear, economic

and technical ageing, legal and other limits on the use of the asset,

and obsolescence. If some of these factors were to deteriorate

materially, impairing the ability of the asset to generate future cash

flow, the Company may accelerate depreciation charges to reflect

the remaining useful life of the asset or record an impairment loss.

#### 5.      Financial risk management

5.1    Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risk (foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The

Company’s risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse

effects on the Company’s financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides written

principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk and

investment of excess liquidity.

5.1.1  Foreign exchange risk

The Company has transactional currency exposures that arise from sales or purchases in currencies other than the respective functional

currency. The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that balances and transactions are denominated in a currency

other than the US Dollar.

The Company holds the majority of its bank balances equivalents in US Dollar. However, the Company does maintain deposits in Naira in

order to fund ongoing general and administrative activities and other expenditure incurred in this currency. Other monetary assets and

liabilities which give rise to foreign exchange risk include trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.

The following table demonstrates the carrying value of monetary assets and liabilities (denominated in Naira) exposed to foreign exchange

risks at the reporting date:

5.1.2  Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk

arises from cash and intercompany receivables.

a)    Risk management

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is managed through the diversification of banks in which cash and cash equivalents are held.

This risk on cash is limited because the majority of deposits are with banks that have an acceptable credit rating assigned by an

international credit agency. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk due to default of the counterparty is equal to the carrying

value of its financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at the reporting date is:

b)    Impairment of financial assets

The Company has two types of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model. The impairment of receivables is

disclosed in the table below.

• Cash and cash equivalents

• Intercompany receivables

The parameters used to determine impairment for intercompany receivables are shown below. For all receivables presented in the table,

the respective 12-month probability of default (PD) equate to the Lifetime PD for Stage 2 as the maximum contractual period over which

the Company is exposed to credit risk arising from the receivables is less than 12 months.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative indicators in classifying its receivables into the relevant stages for impairment

calculation.

Impairment of financial assets is recognised in three stages on an individual or collective basis as shown below:

• Stage 1: This stage includes financial assets that are less than 30 days past due (performing).

• Stage 2: This stage includes financial assets that have been assessed to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk using

the days past due criteria (i.e. the outstanding receivables amounts are more than 30 days past due but less than 90 days past

due) and other qualitative indicators such as the increase in political risk concerns or other macro-economic factors and the risk of

legal action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair future financial performance.

• Stage 3: This stage includes financial assets that have been assessed as being in default (i.e. receivables that are more than 90

days past due) or that have a clear indication that the imposition of financial or legal penalties and/or sanctions will make the full

recovery of indebtedness highly improbable.

i.    Cash and cash equivalents

Short - term fixed deposits

The Company applies the IFRS 9 general model for measuring expected credit losses (ECL) which uses a three-stage approach in

recognising the expected loss allowance for cash and cash equivalents. The ECL was calculated as the probability weighted estimate of

the credit losses expected to occur over the contractual period of the facility after considering macroeconomic indicators. Based on this

assessment, they identified the expected credit loss to be nil as at 31 December 2025.

ii.    Other cash and cash equivalents

The Company assessed the other cash and cash equivalents to determine its expected credit losses. Based on this assessment, it

identified the expected credit loss to be $0.16 million as at 31 December 2025 ( 2024: $0.16 million). The assets are assessed to be in

Stage 1.

Credit quality of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash)

The credit quality of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is assessed based on external credit ratings (Fitch long-term ratings) as

shown below:

c.    Maximum exposure to credit risk – financial instruments subject to impairment

The Company estimated the expected credit loss on -  Intercompany receivables and fixed deposits by applying the general model. The

gross carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risks on these assets.

All financial assets impaired using the general model (intercompany and fixed deposits) are graded under the standard monitoring credit

grade (rated B under Standard and Poor’s unmodified ratings) and are classified under Stage 1.

d)    Roll forward movement in loss allowance

The loss allowance recognised in the period is impacted by a variety of factors, as described below:

• Additional allowances for new financial instruments recognised during the period, as well as releases for financial instruments

derecognised in the period;

• Discount unwind within ECL due to passage of time, as ECL is measured on a present value basis;

• Foreign exchange retranslation for assets dominated in foreign currencies and other movements; and financial assets

derecognised during the period and write-off of receivables and allowances related to assets.

e.    Estimation uncertainty in measuring impairment loss

The table below shows information on the sensitivity of the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets to the methods,

assumptions and estimates used in calculating impairment losses on those financial assets at the end of the reporting period. These

methods, assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Company’s

financial assets.

5.1.3  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity

risk by ensuring that enough funds are available to meet its commitments as they fall due.

The Company uses both long-term and short-term cash flow projections to monitor funding requirements for activities and to ensure

there are enough cash resources to meet operational needs. Cash flow projections take into consideration the Company’s debt financing

plans and covenant compliance. Surplus cash held is transferred to the treasury department which invests in interest - bearing current

accounts and time deposits.

The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed maturity

periods. The table has been drawn based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which

the Company can be required to pay.

The table below represents the trade and other payables for 2025.

|  | $'000 | $'000 | $’000 | $’000 |
| Financial assets at amortised cost |  |  |  |  |
| Trade and other receivables | 3,965,656 | 2,793,006 | 3,965,656 | 2,793,006 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 42,136 | 166,871 | 42,136 | 166,871 |
| Restricted cash | 3,428 | 2,433 | 3,428 | 2,433 |

| Trade and other payables | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 |
|  | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 | 3,763,815 |

Trade and other payables (excluding non-financial liabilities such as provisions, taxes, pensions and other non-contractual payables), trade

and other receivables (excluding prepayments) and cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments whose carrying amounts as per

the financial statements approximate their fair values. This is mainly due to their short-term nature.

5.1.5  Fair value hierarchy

As at the reporting period, the Company had classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting

standards. These are all recurring fair value measurements. There were no transfers of financial instruments between fair value hierarchy

levels during the year.

• Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly

observable.

• Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The fair value of the financial instruments is included at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an

orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The carrying amounts of the financial instruments are the same as their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

5.2    Capital management

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide

returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to maintain optimal capital structure and reduce cost of capital. Consistent

with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital based on the following: gearing ratio and net debt divided by total capital. Net

Section 120.2 of Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAP C20, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 requires that where a Company

issues shares at premium (i.e above the par value), the value of the premium should be transferred to share premium.

During the year, an additional 13,342,715 shares vested with a fair value of $ 17.85 million, ₦27.1 billion.

Seplat Energy issued additional shares of 11,500,000 to settle existing share- based payment obligations that vest during the year.

19.4    Employee share-based payment scheme

As at 31 December 2025, the Company had awarded 49,999,973 shares ( 2024 : 53,305,512 shares) to certain employees and senior

executives in line with its share-based incentive schemes. Included in the share-based incentive schemes are two additional schemes

(2025 LTIP Scheme and 2025 Deferred Bonus Scheme) awarded during the reporting period. During the reporting period, 14,393,801

shares had vested out of which 1,051,086 were forfeited in relation to participants who could not meet the vesting conditions during the

period. The average forfeiture rate due to failure to meet non-market vesting condition is 11.98% while the average due to staff exit is

14.81%. The impact of applying the forfeiture rate of 26.79% on existing LTIP awards which are yet to vest will result in a reduction of share-

based compensation expense for the year by $2,021,272. The number of shares that eventually vested during the year after the forfeiture

and conditions above is 13,342,715 (Dec 2024: 17,567,776).

i.    Description of the awards valued

The Company has made a number of share-based awards every year since first award in 2014. The most recent awards are the LTIP

2025 and 2024 Deferred Bonus.  A number of these awards have fully vested.

Seplat Deferred Bonus award

25% of each Executive Director’s 2024 bonus (paid in 2025) has been deferred into shares and would be released in 2026 subject to

continued employment over the vesting period. 2024 Deferred Bonus was approved by the Board and vested in 2025. No performance

criteria are attached to this award. As a result, the fair value of these awards is calculated using a Black Scholes model.

employees at no cost. The shares vest (after three years) based on the following conditions.

• 25% vesting for median relative TSR performance rising to 100% for upper quartile performance on a straight-line basis.

• Relative TSR vesting reduced by 75% if 60% and below of operational and technical bonus metrics are achieved, with 35%

reduction if 70% of operational and technical bonus metrics are achieved and no reduction for 80% or above achievement.

• If the Company outperforms the median TSR performance level with the LTIP exploration and production comparator group.

The LTIP awards have been approved by the NSE.

The shares are granted to the employees at no cost. The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share awards outstanding

as at 31 December 2025 range from 0.4 to 2.4 years (2024: 0.8 to 2.4 years).

The weighted average fair value of awards granted during the year range from ₦2,916 to ₦4,054 (2024: ₦3,200 to ₦3,209), $1.92 to $2 .67

(2024: $2 .10 to $2.17).

The Long -Term Incentive Plan is independently determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method which takes into account the term of

the award, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-free

interest rate for the term of the award and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected

changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

#### Impact on the Accounting Policy

#### Disclosures on the Adoption of ISSB

#### Standards.

1. Materiality and Definition of Boundaries

#### for the Report

a. Materiality

In the context of sustainability-related financial disclosures,

information is material if omitting, misstating, or obscuring that

information could reasonably be expected to influence decisions

that primary users of general-purpose financial reports make on

the basis of those reports, which include financial statements and

sustainability-related financial disclosures and which provide

information about entities within the Group.

To identify material information about a sustainability-related risk or

opportunity, the Group applies, as the starting point, the requirements

of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standard that specifically applies

to that sustainability-related risk or opportunity. In the absence of an

IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standard that specifically applies to a

sustainability-related risk or opportunity, the Group applies the

requirements of sources of guidance specified in paragraphs 57–58

of IFRS S1. Those sources specify information, including metrics, that

may be relevant to a particular sustainability-related risk or

opportunity, to a particular industry or in specified circumstances.

b. Definition of Boundaries for the Report

Our sustainability performance indicators are aligned with our

objectives and reflect the potential impacts of our activities.

Specifically:

• Health, safety, climate, and ecological impact metrics cover

Seplat Energy subsidiaries, companies in joint arrangements,

and associated companies, as detailed in note 3.5.

• The waste management, EORF roadmap, net zero target and

other targets cover Seplat Energy’s operated assets.

• Social investment, people, diversity and inclusion, as well as

ethics and anti-corruption data, relate to Seplat Energy and its

subsidiaries.

• We use the equity approach to calculate GHG emissions, acid

gases and water.

Performance disclosures are based on these parameters. For all

other data, the perimeter aligns with relevant legislation and

comprises companies consolidated line by line to prepare Seplat

Energy’s consolidated financial statements. In the current period,

SEPNU has been included in our reporting boundary.

2. Going Concern

In assessing the going concern basis for the preparation of the

consolidated financial statements of the Group, the Directors

consider the impact of climate change on the business model of

the Group. This includes considerations for regulatory and global

development around climate change and sustainability as they

drive physical and transition risks amidst the energy transition

plans of Seplat Energy.

3. General Disclosures

Climate-related considerations have been included in the

accounting policies for the following general disclosures.

a) Forward-looking information

b) Assumptions and estimates

c) Provisions

4. Non-current assets

Useful life and residual value: Climate-related matters may affect

the value of an item of property, plant and equipment, its economic

life and its residual value.

Consequently, future developments such as the impact of climate

change on technological, market, economic or legal environments

are considered when assessing the residual values and useful

economic lives of non-current assets especially those that are

prone to exposures to physical and transition risks. Similarly,

climate considerations are made in decommissioning provisions of

the Group.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |

5. Asset Retirement Obligation

In the measurement of asset retirement obligations (AROs),

management incorporates sustainability-related considerations

including costs, such as those associated with decommissioning

and restoring sites to meet environmental standards.

6. Impairments of assets and goodwill

The Group considers its exposure to certain climate-related

physical and transition risks and opportunities which could affect

its estimate of future cashflow projections applied for the

determination of recoverable amount of its CGUs and impairment

of assets.

7. Financial Instruments

In determining the values of financial assets, the Directors consider

whether financial assets are positively or negatively affected by

current and/or anticipated changes in the climate such as rising

water levels, changing weather patterns, etc.

8. Risk Management

The Group is exposed to ESG and other emerging sustainability risks.

The following items are examples of how these risks may impact

the Group:

a) Increases in the frequency and severity of climatic events could

impact customers’ ability to pay the amounts owed to the Group.

b) Action taken by governments, regulators such as the National

Council on Climate Change (NCCC) and society more

generally, to transition to a low-carbon economy, could impact

the ability of our major customers and other customers to

generate long-term returns in a sustainable way or lead to

certain assets being stranded in the future.

c) Failure to comply with environmental and social legislation

(emerging and current) may impact the ability of our major and

other debtors to generate sustainable returns to make good,

their indebtedness to the Group.

9. Events after reporting date

In consideration for disclosures under Events after the Reporting

Date, the Directors consider if there have been ESG or

sustainability specific regulatory or market developments that

occur after the reporting date that represent adjusting events or

non-adjusting events and reflect this consideration accordingly in

line with IAS 10 – Events after the Reporting Date.

#### Forward looking statement

This presentation may include statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking

statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control and all of which are

based on the Company’s current beliefs and expectations about future events. These forward-looking statements may be identified by

the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "plans", "projects", "anticipates", "expects", "intends",

"may", "will" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans,

objectives, goals, future events or intentions. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-

looking statements may and often do differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current

view with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating

to the Company's business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the oil and gas business.

Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. The

Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

otherwise, except to the extent legally required. No part of these results constitutes, or shall be taken to constitute, an invitation or

inducement to invest in the Company and must not be relied upon in any way in connection with any investment decision.
