The 2024 annual meeting will be held at the Company's offices at 1155 Dairy Ashford Road, Suite 425, Houston, Texas 77079, commencing at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, on Thursday, December 5, 2024. If you plan to attend, please notify our Corporate Secretary, Ryan Stash, at info@evolutionpetroleum.com with "Annual Meeting" in the subject line. The notice of the annual meeting of stockholders and the proxy statement on the following pages cover the formal business of the annual meeting, which includes three items to be voted on by our stockholders. If your shares are held in "street name" in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you must provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares in order for your shares to be voted on important matters presented at the annual meeting. If you do not instruct your broker on how to vote in the election of directors or the advisory vote to approve executive compensation, your shares will not be voted on these matters. At the annual meeting, management will also report on the Company's current operations and will be available to respond to questions from stockholders. Recording devices will not be permitted in the annual meeting. We are providing access to our proxy materials over the internet. We are mailing to our stockholders in street name a notice of internet availability of proxy materials (the "notice and access") instead of a paper copy of our proxy statement, a proxy card and our 2024 annual report. The notice and access contain instructions on how to access those documents over the internet, as well as instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials. We believe the notice and access process will provide you with the information you need in a timely manner, lower the costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the annual meeting. You are urged, therefore, to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card (or use telephone or internet voting procedures, if offered by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent), even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. Additional information is further explained in the proxy statement under "How Can I Vote?" Thank you for your investment in Evolution Petroleum Corporation. Sincerely, /s/ ROBERT S. HERLIN Robert S.
