                                         Dividend Declaration

As set out in the Third Quarter 2020 Trading Update announcement released earlier today, the Company
is pleased to recommence dividend payments through the declaration of an interim dividend of 2.65000 US
cents per share, in settlement of the 2019 final dividend that was previously withdrawn. The dividend is
payable on 18 December 2020 to ordinary shareholders on the register as at 20 November 2020.

The default payment for dividends is in US dollars. However, shareholders who hold their shares through
the London Stock Exchange can elect to have dividends paid in pounds sterling (GBP) by completing a
Dividend Currency Election Form (the 'Form'). A copy of the Form can be found on the Company's website
at http://investors.vivoenergy.com/shareholder-information/dividend-information. The option to elect a
pound sterling dividend payment for this dividend will be available to shareholders until 20 November 2020,
by which date the Form needs to be returned duly completed to Link Asset Services, Shareholder Solutions,
34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU. All enquiries regarding the Form should be sent to the
same address or by telephone Link Asset Services on: 0871 664 0300 (and if outside the United Kingdom
(UK) on: +44 371 664 0300). Calls cost 12p per minute plus your phone company's access charge. Calls
outside the UK will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open Monday-Friday 9:00-
17.30 (BST).

CREST shareholders must elect via CREST.

The pounds sterling equivalent dividend payment will be announced on or around 7 December 2020.
