    TULLOW OIL PLC 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – CEO STATEMENT 16 June 2021 – Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) issues the following statement from its CEO, Rahul Dhir, ahead of its Annual General Meeting (AGM) today. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the meeting will be held via an audio cast. Instructions for joining the audio cast can be found at the end of this statement or within the Notice of Meeting . Rahul Dhir, Chief Executive Officer, Tullow Oil plc, commented today: “Dear Shareholders, Today will be my first AGM since joining Tullow as CEO and I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on my first year and provide an update on recent events and current operations. A year of significant change When I joined in July last year, I said that I was excited at the opportunity to lead Tullow and re-build an exceptional company. We have since taken necessary steps to transform the business and, after a year of significant change, I believe we have emerged as a new company with a fundamentally different approach. We have shifted our focus away from exploration and development and long-cycle capital commitments to a production focused company with a robust, cash generative business plan. At our Capital Markets Day in November 2020 I laid out our 10-year business plan which focuses over 90% of our capital investment in our high margin production assets in West Africa. This will generate material cashflow to self-fund high return, fast payback investment opportunities and reduce debt – even at low oil prices. The delivery of this business plan required us to address several fundamental aspects of the business and I am proud to report that we have made excellent progress on the following: Reducing our cost base: we are delivering cost savings across the business including annual G&A cash savings of $125 million.
