Since the year-end, we have also taken Final Investment Decision (“FID”) on Karish North (Israel) and NEA/NI (Egypt), which will lead to the commercialisation of a combined 280 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMboe”) of 2P reserves and delivering project IRRs of >40% and >30%, respectively. Post- period end, we have further enhanced our Israeli position through the acquisition of Kerogen Capital’s 30% holding in Energean Israel Limited (“EISL”) 5 , adding 219 MMboe for a total consideration of less than $2/boe. Transitioning reserves into cash flows In 2020, pro forma6 working interest production was 48.3 kboepd, around the mid-point of guidance of 44.5 - 51.5 kboepd, with the Abu Qir gas-condensate field, offshore Egypt, accounting for over 70% of total output. On the back of strong operational performance, as well as the maturation of key growth projects, a number of our medium-term targets were enhanced during the period, including our objective to deliver working interest production of more than 200 kboepd, which we expect to translate into annualised adjusted EBITDAX of more than $1.4 billion per year. The next 12 months are expected to be our year of transition, in which the delivery of Karish in 1Q 2022 will accelerate us towards our medium-term goal of paying a meaningful and sustainable dividend. A carbon neutral future We have further developed our decarbonisation strategy, in which we target carbon neutrality7 across all operated assets by 2050 and have delivered a 67% year-on-year reduction in carbon emissions intensity to 22.2 kgCO2/boe, when considering 2020 pro forma8 performance data 1 Pro forma Energean plus the assets acquired from Edison E&P.

Moreover, in our 2020 year-end reporting, we have aligned with the Task Force for Climate Disclosure (“TCFD”) recommendations across all of the TCFD pillars and run scenario analysis across our assets. We also engaged with the Carbon Disclosure Project (“CDP”), achieving a B- score in climate change, putting us among the top third of companies within our sector, and a B score in supplier engagement. Finally, we established a new climate change entity called Egypt Energy Services (EES) to manage energy efficiency projects and evaluate the use of low carbon solutions, including carbon capture and storage. Furthermore, we introduced carbon shadow prices as a key sensitivity tool for decision making. Internal carbon shadow prices have been set at 25 €/t in 2020 gradually increasing to 200 €/t in 2050.
