RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING

Global Energy Development PLC (AIM: GED), is pleased to announce that the Resolution put to Shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company, held earlier today, was duly passed. The Resolution was required to approve the acquisition of 11 offshore subsea service vessels and a barge vessel and the change of company name to Nautilus Marine Services PLC all of which are conditional on Admission.

As shareholder approval has now been received, as required under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules, the admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled (immediately prior to Admission) and the re-admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and dealings in such Ordinary Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2017 ("Admission").

The Company's change of name has now been registered at Companies House and the change is effective on Admission. In addition, the Company's TIDM ('GED') will be changed to 'NAUT' and the Company's website, at which all information required pursuant to Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies can be found, changed to www.nautilusmarineplc.com, both of which are also effective on Admission.

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 36,112,187. There are no shares held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission will be 36,112,187. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
