Notes:

(1) * Denotes a special resolution.

(2) Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting have been included in the "For" total of the appropriate resolution.

(3) A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation of the "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution.

(4) The percentage of votes "For" and "Against" any resolution is expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.

(5) Only shareholders on the register of members as at 6.00 p.m. on 24 April 2017 were entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Issued Share Capital (the "ISC") as at that time and date was 915,823,771 ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") and Tullow did not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Accordingly, voting rights in respect of 915,823,771 Ordinary Shares could be exercised at the Annual General Meeting. The holders of Ordinary Shares issued by the Company pursuant to its rights issue announced on 17 March 2017 were not entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting as such Ordinary Shares were not on the register of members as at 6.00 p.m. on 24 April 2017.

(6) The "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution is the total of votes "For" and "Against" in respect of that resolution expressed as a percentage of the ISC as described in note (5).

(7) Ann Grant and Simon Thompson did not stand for re-election as Directors, and stepped down from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.

(8) In accordance with LR 9.6.2, copies of the relevant ordinary and special resolutions passed at the meeting have been submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism, and will shortly be available to view at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
