Result of AGM
The Company advises that at its AGM held on 12 March 2026, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed. The Board has noted however, that whilst resolution 9 was passed as a special resolution, the votes cast against it were greater than 20% of total votes cast. The Board engages with shareholders on an ongoing basis and is reflecting carefully upon the feedback received. The Board will continue to actively engage with shareholders during the coming year.
Max Easley, CEO of Pantheon Resources, commented:
"The period was marked by three developments: the repositioning of Pantheon around Kodiak as the priority asset; drilling of the Dubhe-1 well; and continued engagement with potential farm-in parties. Dubhe-1 confirmed hydrocarbons and added to our understanding of the asset, but further work will be needed before we can assess its representative production potential.
"Interest in Alaska is at its strongest level in recent years and we believe our portfolio is well positioned to benefit in a development scenario, given our 1.6 Billion barrels of certified 2C recoverable resource located in close proximity to pipeline and transportation infrastructure. We have strengthened the Board and management team, and our priority now is to convert technical progress into commercial results that rebuild market confidence in what we believe to be high quality assets.
"As we told shareholders at our Annual General Meeting earlier this month, our absolute focus at Pantheon in 2026 is to conserve our financial resources and identify the ideal financial partner who can help us unlock the value of our exciting acreage. With that in mind, I am encouraged by the level of interest shown in our data room and I look forward to holding constructive discussions with potential partners in due course."
