Does i3e intend to re-purchase its shares this year and if so, why is this money not being put into drilling?**\n\ni3 has no near-term plans to conduct share buybacks.\n\n**2. Are there any other repercussions of eliminating the Share Premium Account other than eliminating the retained losses?**\n\nNo.\n\n**3. Does this resolution impact tax liabilities on future profits?**\n\nNo.\n\n**4. Will the dividend paid quarterly or bi-annually?**\n\nA bi-annual dividend distribution is expected.\n\n**5. Can the value of the Q1 dividend be inferred as 20-30% of a quarters FCF?**\n\nFCF expectations will change across a given year resulting from fluctuations in productivity and realized commodity prices. Annual dividends will be trued to these actual figures once they have become historical.\n\n**6. How much free cash flow does the company have to generate before you increase the dividend payout ratio to 40%?**\n\nAbove i3’s minimum commitment to distribute 20% of FCF to its shareholders, all capital decisions will be made in consideration of maximizing shareholder return.\n\n**7. Considering the large share-float and low trading multiples, why haven’t the company shown more interest in buying back shares?**\n\ni3 is acquiring assets and deploying operational capital at a return level that is below the Company’s trading multiple in the market. Buybacks would typically occur when that dynamic is reversed.\n\n**i3 Energy plc**\n\n**Majid Shafiq (CEO) / Graham Heath (CFO)**\n\n**c/o Camarco**\n\n**Tel: +44 (0) 203 781 8331**"}
