The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of Lundin Petroleum AB (Lundin Petroleum or the Company) was held today, Tuesday 31 March 2020 in Stockholm. Of the resolutions passed, the AGM resolved to approve the change to the Company's Articles of Association with the effect of amending the name of the Company from Lundin Petroleum AB to Lundin Energy AB.

  The Company's and the Group's income statements and balance sheets for the financial year 2019 were adopted and the members of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer were discharged from liability for the financial year 2019.

The AGM resolved that a dividend for the 2019 financial year in the amount of USD 1.00 per share should be paid in equal quarterly instalments.. Before payment, each quarterly dividend of USD 0.25 per share shall be converted into a SEK amount based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden's central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to each record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The final USD equivalent amount received by the shareholders may therefore slightly differ depending on what the USD to SEK exchange rate is on the date of the dividend payment. The SEK amount per share to be distributed each quarter will be announced in a press release four business days prior to each record date.

The key dates for the quarterly dividends are set out in the table below.

The AGM resolved to remunerate the members of the Board of Directors as follows: (i) annual fees of the members of the Board of Directors of USD 62,000 (excluding the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer as a Board member); (ii) annual fees of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of USD 130,000; (iii) annual fees for Committee members of USD 14,700 per Committee assignment (excluding the Committee Chairs); and (iv) annual fees for Committee Chairs of 20,300; with the total fees for Committee work, not to exceed USD 193,200.

Peggy Bruzelius, C. Ashley Heppenstall, Ian H. Lundin, Lukas H. Lundin, Grace Reksten Skaugen, Torstein Sanness, Alex Schneiter, Jakob Thomasen and Cecilia Vieweg were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors for a period until the 2021 AGM.

Ian H. Lundin was re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
