New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 51% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 8.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change).

Baron Oil plc Provides an Update on Operational Activities and Plans on the TL-SO-19-16 Production Sharing Contract, Offshore Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste Baron Oil Plc provided an update on operational activities and plans on the TL-SO-19-16 Production Sharing Contract, offshore Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. As announced by the Company on 12 February 2024 and updated on 27 March 2024, Baron's wholly owned subsidiary, SundaGas Banda Unipessoal Lda, has been conducting a survey at the planned drilling location for the Chuditch-2 appraisal well (the "Site Survey"). The objective of a Site Survey is principally to identify hazards at a proposed well site, ensuring that a drilling rig can be located safely and with minimal environmental impact. The Site Survey work has consisted of geophysical studies (remote seabed investigation) and geotechnical work (physical studies of the seabed), using two separate vessels. All operational work related to the Site Survey has now been successfully completed and the vessel has left the PSC area. Some delays occurred during both the geophysical and geotechnical phases of the Site Survey, principally caused by weather conditions and a few other operational issues, but the work has now been completed, and at a cost significantly below the approved budget. Detailed investigation of the location initially chosen for the Chuditch- 2 well revealed an irregular seabed that would be unsuitable for placement of a jack-up drilling rig. As a result, a new more appropriate location has been chosen, which lies 286m to the east-northeast of the initial location. The well will now be situated 5.1km from the site of the original Chuditch-1 discovery well in a water depth of 68m. Based on 3D seismic mapping and the results of Chuditch-1, the planned vertical appraisal well drilled at this new location is expected to encounter gas-charged reservoirs 16m shallower than at the initial location and, as a result, SundaGas now predicts a taller 149m gas column in the reservoir target versus 133m predicted at the initial location. Drilling Planning Preparations In parallel to the recent Site Survey operations, drilling planning has continued at a good pace. SundaGas' experienced in-house drill team has further refined the well design, enabling the process of tendering for essential materials that have long procurement times such as well casing to have commenced. Design work on a Chuditch-2 well test (DST) is ongoing, led by SundaGas' well test engineer. SundaGas is in discussions with drilling rig contractors and other third-party service providers in support of well construction plans. The Company is also liaising closely with other operators in the region that are expected to drill wells in locations relatively nearby. Detailed workshops are being held on a regular basis with joint venture partner TIMOR GAP and government regulator ANP, whose input to operational and logistical planning is continuing to prove invaluable. SundaGas and its joint venture partner TIMOR G AP are working on resources to ensure successful delivery of the upcoming Chuditch-2 appraisal drilling campaign. Discussions with a number of potential funding partners are ongoing and further announcements will be made at the appropriate time. New Risk • Apr 12

Baron Oil plc Announces Chuditch Operational Update Baron Oil Plc provided an update on operational activities on the TL-SO-19-16 Production Sharing Contract, offshore Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Baron's wholly owned subsidiary, SundaGas Banda Unipessoal Lda has entered into contracts to conduct a survey at the planned drilling location for the Chuditch-2 appraisal well, which is illustrated in the Company's presentation published on 11 October 2023. Site Survey operations are expected to be carried out at the location during February and early March 2024. The objective of the Site Survey, which is a requirement, is principally to identify any potential hazards at the proposed well site, ensuring that a drilling rig can be safely located there with minimal environmental impact. The Site Survey work consists of geophysical studies and physical investigation of the seabed and shallow geological section. SundaGas maintains dialogues with other companies active in the region to identify operational synergies for the drilling of the Chuditch-2 appraisal well. These discussions have resulted in the opportunity to acquire the Site Survey in partnership with a nearby operator. The estimated cost savings that derive from sharing services and vessel mobilisation compared to standalone acquisition are significant. In addition, the shared operation enables SundaGas to acquire the Site Survey earlier than originally planned, enabling aspects of well design to be accelerated and the environmental approval submissions to be expedited.
