Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc
("Lansdowne" or the "Company")
WRAP Retail Offer for up to £190,000
Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc (AIM: LOGP) is pleased to announce a retail offer
via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £190,000
(the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of £0.0005
par value in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Under the WRAP
Retail Offer up to 190,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail Offer
Shares") will be made available at a price of 0.1 pence per share.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced on 30 April 2026, the
Company is also proposing a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing
Shares" and together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary
Shares") to raise £1.9m (before expenses) (the "Placing") at a price of 0.1
pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The issue price of the WRAP
Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Placing Price.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and its terms and
sets out the reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds. The proceeds of
the WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised to meet the Company's working capital
requirements.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.
Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the
completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on
the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The issue of the Retail Offer Shares is conditional upon, inter alia, the
passing of certain resolutions to be put to shareholders of Lansdowne Oil
& Gas at the Annual General Meeting, which is expected to be held at
Howard Kennedy LLP, 1 London Bridge, London, SE1 9BG at 11.00 a.m. on 26 May
2026 Admission of the Retail Offer Shares is expected to occur no later than
8.00 a.m. on or around 27 May 2026
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Placing are 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 at 8.00 a.m. on 27 May 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 Lansdowne Oil & Gas, 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 5.00 p.m. on 8 May 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 Company has published an MTF admission prospectus in compliance with the
requirements of the AIM Rules, and is issued in connection with the proposed
admission of Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc to AIM ("Admission Prospectus"). The
Admission Prospectus has not been prepared in accordance with the rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for Admission to Trading on a Regulated
Market and its contents have not been approved by the FCA. The Admission
Prospectus will not be filed with or approved by the FCA or any other
government or regulatory authority in the UK.
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.

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 Retail Offer Shares
have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the
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 Retail Offer
Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
the Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection;
and an investment in the 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 Retail Offer Shares. Each distributor is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels
