2024 Annual Report and Notice of 2025 AGM

In compliance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.1R, the Company announces that the Annual Report & Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Circular to shareholders of the Company, including Notice of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), and the form of proxy for use at the AGM, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism in unedited full text and will shortly be available for inspection at:

The Company's AGM will be held at 2:30 pm (UAE time) on Thursday 29 May 2025 at the offices of Gulf Marine Services WLL, Office 403, International Tower, 24th (Karama) Street, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The Annual Report & Accounts 2024 (in pdf and ESEF format), the AGM Notice and form of proxy are now available on the Company's website at www.gmsplc.com.

The Board recognises that the AGM is an important event for shareholders in the corporate calendar and is committed to ensuring that shareholders can exercise their right to vote and ask questions in connection with this meeting. Accordingly, for those shareholders who do not wish to or unable to attend, questions in connection with the business of the AGM can be submitted on reasonable notice by email to cosec@gmsplc.com in advance of the AGM and, in so far as relevant to the business of the meeting, questions will be responded to by email and taken into account as appropriate at the meeting itself. We are not planning to have a Directors' presentation at the AGM and it will be held strictly to conduct the business of the AGM.

Voting at the AGM will be by way of a poll so that all the votes cast in advance by shareholders appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf can be taken into account. Shareholders have one vote for each ordinary share held when voting on a poll and this procedure ensures that every vote can be cast.

Shareholders wishing to vote on any of the matters of business at the AGM are encouraged to submit their votes as soon as possible in advance of the meeting and in any case, by 11.30am (UK time) on 27 May 2025 through the proxy and electronic voting facilities and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy for this purpose. Further details are included in the Notice of the AGM.

The results of the AGM will be announced as soon as practical after it has taken place.
