Capricorn Energy PLC

("Capricorn" or the "Company")

Ratification of Western Desert integrated concession agreement

 

Capricorn has been informed that the Egyptian House of Representatives has
ratified the consolidated and amended concession agreement covering eight of
the Company's existing Egyptian Western Desert concession agreements in which
it has a 50% participating interest held jointly with Cheiron Oil and Gas
Limited ("Cheiron" or "the Operator").

The ratification represents a key milestone in the process to consolidate,
extend and improve the terms of the Company's Western Desert asset base.

Key elements of the integrated concession

The new agreement extends the concession life by up to 20 years with a 10-year
development term and two 5-year optional extension terms, amends the fiscal
terms to promote investment, and merges the existing concessions to increase
operational and financial efficiencies. Further details relating to the
integrated concession agreement can be found in the Company's release dated 8
May 2025.

Next steps

The Company will now work with its partner and the Egyptian authorities to
complete the remaining customary steps required for the Minister of Petroleum
and Mineral Resources to sign the amended concession agreement. This is
expected to occur in the coming weeks.

Further updates will be provided in due course.
