Awilco Drilling PLC: Interim Dividend Decision and Future Plan
Awilco Drilling PLC ('Awilco Drilling' or the 'Company') announces that its Board of Directors has resolved an interim dividend payment payable in Q2 2025 of USD 2.06 per share. The shares will trade ex-dividend on 1 April 205, the record date is 2 April 2025, and the payment date is on or around 11 April 2025.
The Company has considered several strategic alternatives, but the investment opportunities have not met the required thresholds for the Board to recommend pursuing them. As the Company no longer has any operational business, the Board has decided that it is in the shareholders' best interest to have the Company's capital returned to them, apply for delisting of the Company from Euronext Growth Oslo and, lastly, have the Company liquidated. The Board has duly considered and concluded that the amount proposed paid as interim dividend is appropriate and leaves sufficient funds in the Company to pay for the planned delisting and the subsequently planned liquidation.
Based on the abovementioned, the Board of Directors has also resolved to call for an extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 16 April 2025. The purpose of this meeting is to pass the necessary resolution so the Company can apply for delisting from Euronext Growth Oslo. It is expected that another extraordinary General Meeting will be called in April/May this year to vote on the proposed Company liquidation.

UPDATE ON THE TERMS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS GENERAL MEETING
UPDATE ON THE TERMS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS GENERAL MEETING Nantes, June 9th, 2025, 8 a.m. - OSE Immunotherapeutics SA (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemo: OSE) informs its shareholders and the market of the update on the terms of the Combined General Meeting scheduled for 25 June 2025 (the 'General Meeting'). In preparation of the General Meeting, OSE Immunotherapeutics has formally submitted to the President of the Nantes Commercial Court a request to extend the date of the General Meeting. The purpose of this approach is to ensure that the General Meeting is held in a regular and transparent manner and that shareholders are properly informed. It is in response to requests made by some of the Company's shareholders, in a context marked by the filing, by a group of shareholders acting in concert, of several resolutions aimed at substantially changing the composition of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the communication of these resolutions to the market did not occur in a timely manner nor under conditions ensuring, at this stage, that shareholders are fully and fairly informed or that the General Meeting is properly or regularly held. In this respect, the resolutions presented by the group of shareholders acting in concert and which have not been approved by the Board of directors are not identified clearly enough on the voting form posted on the Company's website on June 4th, 2025. The Company indicates that the resolutions of this group of shareholders, on which the Board of Directors recommends voting against, are renumbered A to K (instead of resolutions n°35 to 44). Apart from this renumbering, all the resolutions remain unchanged. An amended convening notice will be published in the official legal bulletin. The voting form along with the preparatory documents for the General meeting required by Article R. 22-10-23 of the French Commercial Code, as amended to include this renumbering, are available on the Company's website: OSE Immunotherapeutics considers that the current situation as described above and in the press release dated June 4th, 2025 raises significant legal uncertainties, which justify referring to the judge to extend the date of the General Meeting in order to secure the voting process and ensure that shareholders are consulted in an orderly fashion. OSE Immunotherapeutics affirms its determination to protect the interests of all its shareholders and to defend the transparency and integrity of its governance, in compliance with the legal and regulatory framework. OSE Immunotherapeutics will communicate in due course on the progress of this procedure.
