Extraordinary General Meeting
Resolution 1 - Adoption of new Articles of Association
Further to various meetings with shareholders over the last year, it has become apparent that a significant
proportion of our shareholders would like us to update our Articles of Association in line with the listed
company Articles of Association presented at the 2014 AGM, and to reflect certain other changes to further
enhance our corporate governance framework. Further to discussions with several large shareholders, we
have prepared new Articles of Association in respect of which we would like your approval to adopt. Copies
of the proposed new Articles of Association and a summary of the material differences to the existing Articles
of Association are available on our website and will be available at the AGM.
Any historic resolutions passed by Kuwait Energy under the old Articles of Association relating to the
allotment, issue and/or buy-back of shares (including any waiver of pre-emption rights) shall remain in full
force and effect. In this regard, please note that the following share commitments remain outstanding:
(i)
The issue of up to 3,980,492 shares in Kuwait Energy pursuant to an employee share incentive plan
(approved at the first AGM held on 30 November 2011);
(ii)
The issue of up to 60,000,000 shares in Kuwait Energy to a financing vehicle of Abraaj Capital on
conversion of its outstanding loan facility into shares on listing (approved at the Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) held on 15 May 2012);
(iii)
The issue of up to 23,000,000 shares to Qatar First Bank on conversion of its outstanding murabaha
financing facility into shares on listing (approved at the third AGM held on 21 April 2013); and
(iv)
The issue of up to 2,557,977 shares to remaining shareholders of Kuwait Energy Company K.S.C.C.
(KEC Kuwait) pursuant to the 2014 KEC Kuwait ownership restructuring (approved at the third AGM
held on 21 April 2013 and confirmed at the EGM held on 19 October 2014).
