The board of directors of BIH (the "Board") is pleased to announce that
completion of the subscription by Zarara Energy Ltd ("ZEL") for 222,407,081
new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company (the "Subscription

The Subscription Shares were allotted and issued by the Company to ZEL
credited as fully paid up and ranking pari passu, and as one class with, the
existing 148,219,943 ordinary shares in the Company. The Subscription Shares
represent 60.00% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
No application is being made for the present time for the Subscription Shares
to be admitted to listing on the FCA's Official List or to trading on the
London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. In any event, the
listing and trading in the Company's existing issued ordinary shares is
currently suspended.
Board changes
On Completion, Said Mbarak Salim Al Digeil and William ('Brock') Henry Tuppeny
III (nominee Directors of ZEL) were appointed to the Board and Martin
Lampshire and Richard Hartheimer resigned from the Board.
Conversion of Outstanding Directors' Fees and Expenses into New Convertible
Loan Notes
As a result of Completion, the conversion of outstanding Directors' fees and
expenses due from the Company to them and their consultancy companies into an
aggregate principal amount of £246,982.20 New Convertible Loan Notes (as
announced by the Company on 29 October 2024) has become effective.
Total voting rights
Following the allotment and issue of the 222,407,081 Subscription Shares, the
Company's issued share capital consists of 370,627,024 ordinary shares of 0.1
pence, each with one voting right. The Company does not hold any ordinary
shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the
Company is 370,627,024.
The above figure of 370,627,024 should be used by shareholders in the Company
as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are

share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
