RELEASE
3 April 2024
CAPRICORN ENERGY PLC ("Capricorn" or the "Company")
Interests of Directors / Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility
("PDMRs")

1. Grant of 2024 Awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive
Plan (2017)
Capricorn announces that, on 3 April 2024, the following awards (in the form
of "nil-cost" options) ("Awards") over its ordinary shares of 735/143 pence
each ("Shares") were made under the Long Term Incentive Plan approved by
shareholders in 2017 (the "2017 LTIP") to the undernoted Executive Director
and PDMRs of the Company:
Executive Director / PDMR Number of Shares

Nathan Piper, Commercial Director 171,428
All Shares were awarded at £1.75 per Share, being the mid-market closing
price of a Share on the dealing day immediately preceding the grant date. The
vesting of the Awards (which, in the case of Randy Neely's, has been granted
in accordance with the Company's directors' remuneration policy that was
approved at the 2023 AGM) depends upon the extent to which specified
performance conditions are met over a three-year performance period. Following
any such vesting, the Award granted to Randy Neely will be subject to a
further two year "holding period" during which it cannot be exercised. The
Award granted to Geoff Probert will be subject to a one year "holding period".
2. Grant of 2024 Awards under the Company's Deferred Bonus
Scheme
In terms of Capricorn's directors' remuneration policy that was approved at
the 2023 AGM, 25% of an Executive Director's annual bonus must delivered in
the form of an award of Shares under the Company's Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP")
that will vest at the end of a further period of three years. The vesting of
any such Award is not subject to the satisfaction of any additional
performance conditions.
Accordingly, Capricorn announces that, on 3 April 2024, the following Award
was made under the DBP to the undernoted Executive Director of the Company:
Executive Director / PDMR Number of Shares

All Shares were awarded at £1.75 per Share, being the closing price of a
