EEGUF - Empire Energy Group Ltd (EEGUF) Appoints Mr Louis Rozman as Director
Mr Rozman has had a distinguished career in the natural resources sector across operations, development and project financing. His experience includes construction, project management, joint ventures and project financing including private equity.
He has held numerous senior management positions in the industry. His experience as Chief Executive Officer of CH4 Gas Limited ("CH4") a successful Queensland coal seam gas developer and producer, is of direct relevance to Empire's growth plans.

CH4 merged with Arrow Energy in 2006, and the enlarged business was later acquired by Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina for >A$3 billion.
Mr Rozman's experience will be valuable to Empire as the Company progresses its Northern Territory petroleum projects through appraisal and ultimate commercialisation. His biography is attached and he will stand for election at Empire's 2021 Annual General Meeting.
Retirement of Non-Executive Director

The Empire Board thanks Mr Gerahty for his contribution and wishes him well for his future endeavours.
