Dear Shareholder
2014 Annual General Meeting of Kuwait Energy plc
On 30 June 2014, the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Kuwait Energy plc (Kuwait Energy) was
adjourned without any business being transacted. The meeting is being reconvened for 19 October 2014 at
10am at Symphony Style Hotel Kuwait, Symphony Complex, Gulf Road, Salmiya, Kuwait. I enclose a formal
notice of that reconvened meeting together with notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held
immediately afterwards. I set out below brief explanations of the various agenda items.
Adjourned Annual General Meeting
Resolution 1 - Annual reappointment of auditors
We would like your approval on the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as the auditors of Kuwait Energy until
the 2015 Annual General Meeting on terms to be agreed by the Board.
Resolution 2 - 2013 financial statements
Although we have made good progress during 2013, it was also a challenging year, which is reflected in our
2013 annual report (a copy of which is available on our website). The financial statements of Kuwait Energy
for the period ended 31 December 2013 (within our 2013 annual report) are to be formally received by
shareholders at the AGM.
Resolution 3 - Directors’ remuneration report
We would also like your approval of the directors’ remuneration report contained in the 2013 annual
report.
Extraordinary General Meeting
Resolution 1 - Approval of appointment of directors
Our board of directors consists of six of the same persons as last year, being Dr Manssour Aboukhamseen
(Chairman), Sara Akbar (Chief Executive Officer), Roger Phillips (Chief Financial Officer), Mohamed Yusof
Rafie (non-executive), Dr Yousef A. Al Awadi (non-executive) and Rachel English (non-executive).
Unfortunately, Sir Ian Prosser resigned as a non-executive director in April 2014 due to other work
commitments. However, we have been actively looking to replace him and also to appoint a further two
independent directors, and I am now pleased to inform you that we have recently appointed Abdel Badwi,
Mohammad Husain and Sir Steve Robson as additional independent directors.
For your information, a brief professional biography for each of the directors is available on our website.
