SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE

“ It is widely acknowledged by analysts and other commentators that Premier’s share price does not adequately reflect the value of our oil and gas reserves or the potential of the business. I said in my interim statement to you in September that the Board and alliance shareholders Amerada Hess and Petronas were aware of the perceived depressive effect of the 50% alliance shareholding on the share price and were working together to find a way forward for the best interests of all shareholders. I remain confident that we can find a suitable way.”
