Helium One Global Ltd
WRAP Retail Offer Targeting £1,000,000
Helium One Global Ltd ("Helium One" or the "Company") the primary helium
explorer in Tanzania with a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus
helium development project in Colorado, USA, is pleased to announce a retail
offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") targeting gross
proceeds of £1,000,000 (the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new
ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary
Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer, new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail
Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 0.6 pence per share (the
"Issue Price"). The Issue Price represents a discount of 17.6 per cent. to the
closing mid-price of the Company's existing Ordinary shares on 25 March 2026.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced 26 March 2026 at 7.05am,
the Company is also conducting a subscription of new Ordinary Shares (the
"Subscription Shares" and together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New
Ordinary Shares") by way of a direct subscription (the "Subscription" and
together with the WRAP Retail Offer, the "Fundraise"). The Issue Price of the
WRAP Retail Offer Shares is equal to the price payable per Subscription Share.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Subscription and sets out
the reasons for the Fundraise and use of proceeds. The proceeds of the WRAP
Retail Offer will be utilised for working capital purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the
Subscription. Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia,
upon the completion of the Subscription but completion of the Subscription is
not conditional on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The Fundraise is conditional on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to
trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become
effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM,
at or around 8.00 a.m. on 31 March 2026.
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is
appropriate to provide its existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom
the opportunity to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
Therefore, the Company is making the WRAP Retail Offer available to eligible
investors in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement, being
existing shareholders of Helium One Global Ltd, and through certain financial
intermediaries.
Existing shareholders can contact their broker or wealth manager to
participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 12 noon on 27 March 2026.
Eligible shareholders should note that financial intermediaries may have
earlier closing times.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of
existing retail shareholders, should contact wrap@winterflood.com.
To be eligible to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be a
customer of a participating intermediary and, prior to the release of this
announcement, shareholders in the Company which may include individuals aged
18 years or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts,
associations and other unincorporated organisations.
There is a minimum subscription of £100 per investor under the WRAP Retail
Offer. The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided
by the relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee
charges.
The Company reserves the right to amend the size and timings of the retail
offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to scale back any
order and to reject any application for subscription under the WRAP Retail
Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.
It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has
been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.
The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will
rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the
right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid
after their date of issue.
The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under the exemption
from the requirement to publish a prospectus pursuant to Schedule 1 (Part 1)
of The Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 and the
Prospectus Rules of the FCA. As such, there is no need for publication of a
prospectus pursuant to the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations
2024, or for approval of the same by the Financial Conduct Authority. The WRAP
Retail Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction other than the United
Kingdom.
No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be
prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (or
any other authority) in relation to the WRAP Retail Offer, and investors'
commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in
this announcement and information that has been published by or on behalf of
the Company prior to the date of this announcement by notification to a
Regulatory Information Service in accordance with the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Market Abuse
Regulation (EU Regulation No. 596/2014) ("MAR") and MAR as it forms part of
United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as
amended).
Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an
investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a
recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or
legal advice.
It should be noted that a subscription for WRAP Retail Offer Shares and
investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take
independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in
securities such as the WRAP Retail Offer Shares if they are in any doubt.
An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of
investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get
back less than the amount invested.
Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable
indicator of future results.

have been bought or sold in the past cannot be relied upon as a guide to
future performance. Persons needing advice should consult an independent
financial adviser. No statement in this announcement is intended to be a
profit forecast and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to
mean that earnings or target dividend per share of the Company for the current
or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical
published earnings or dividends per share of the Company.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of
the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the
"UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the WRAP Retail Offer
Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined
that the WRAP Retail Offer Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target
market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional
clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6
of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution
channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the WRAP Retail
Offer Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their
investment; the WRAP Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no
capital protection; and an investment in the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is
compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial
or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an
investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses
that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice
to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to
the Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of
Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any
investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other
action whatsoever with respect to the WRAP Retail Offer Shares. Each
distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels
