Interest in Joint Operations Name Principal place of business / Country of incorporation Block 9 PSC Cuba On 25 May 2020 the Consolidated Entity entered into a Farm-in Agreement (FIA) with Sonangol Pesquisa E Produção S.A (Sonangol). Under the terms of the FIA, Sonangol agreed to fund 85% of the cost of two exploration wells in Block 9 in return for receiving a 70% interest (Promote). The FIA provides Sonangol with a priority in recovery of the initial consideration it paid the Company (approximately equal to the Company’s historic costs related to Block 9 at that point) and the Promote it agreed to pay for the initial two exploration wells. On 17 August 2020, the Company announced that formal Cuban regulatory approvals had been received for Sonangol to acquire this 70% interest. Group Commitments and contingent liabilities The work commitments for the current exploration sub-period of Block 9 were met in full by the drilling of the two exploration wells, Alameda-1 and Zapato-1. The next exploration sub-period (the fourth and final) has a work commitment of two production wells (one firm, one contingent) and the workover of the Unit 1B completion in Amistad-1. The Joint Operations have elected to enter the next sub-period and will therefore be required to meet this work commitment. Melbana has met all of its expenditure commitments towards meeting primary term commitments for permits WA-544-P, NT/P87 and AC/P70 and there are no further commitments on these permits for the next fiscal year. The Company is currently exploring farm in partners for these permits to share the cost of future expenditure commitments. 65 Melbana Energy Limited Annual Report 2024
