-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 This is a notification of previous share transactions 
  and is a delayed notification due to an administrative 
  oversight by Mr & Mrs Hardy. Mr & Mrs Hardy first crossed 
  the 3% notifiable threshold on 29 April 2015 and have 
  continued to purchase on market thereafter crossing 
  the 9% threshold on 25/07/2016. Due to the shares being 
  held through a popular retail nominee account the extent 
  of the shares held by these individuals was not identified 
  by the Company previously. Mr & Mrs Hardy are committed 
  long term investors and supportive of Serica Energy 
  plc and the management team.
