Section 2 - Resource Extraction Issuer Disclosure
Item 2.01 Resource Extraction Issuer Disclosure and Report
Kosmos Energy Ltd. (the "Company") is relying on the alternative reporting provision of Item 2.01(c) of Form SD.
The Company is subject to, and has published its report on payments to governments in response to the requirements of DTR 4.3A of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 4.3A) that implements the payments to governments requirements provided for in the EU Transparency Directive in the United Kingdom.
The Company has prepared a report of payments made to governments for the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with the Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (2014/3209) as amended by the Reports on Payments to Governments (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (2015/1928) (the Regulations) and DTR 4.3A of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 4.3A). The Payments to Government data are reflective of select payments made to government entities by Kosmos Energy Ltd. These payments are categorized consistent with the Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015). The Regulations are recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an alternative reporting regime that satisfies the transparency objections of Section 13(q) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for purposes of alternative reporting under Rule 13q-1(c) and paragraph (c) of Item 2.01 of Form SD.
The Company's report on payments to governments for the year ended December 31, 2023, has been provided to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/artefacts/NSM/RNS/5220499.html.
