31 March 2020

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.

Conversion date	Ex-dividend date	Record date	Expected payment date
27 March 2020	1 April 2020	2 April 2020	7 April 2020
