Placing of up to 8 Million Shares

December 30th 2024. Pennpetro Energy PLC (LSE: PPP) announces that in
consultation with its brokers, Peterhouse Capital, the Company seeks to place
up to 8 million shares through a tender process that Peterhouse will manage.
 

 

The company recently raised £120,000 on 27 November 2024 at a share price of
12p.  This was at a premium to the closing price of 9.55p on the day the
company was suspended from trading.

 

The tender process which will be open on 30 December 2024 and close at 5pm on
January 7(th) 2025 will seek offers for shares at a minimum price of 9.0p and
will be targeting sophisticated and professional investors, ("The Placing").
The Company welcomes existing retail investors to also participate via their
agent or broker.

 

Any shares issued pursuant to the proposed placing will only be admitted to
trading following the lifting of the shares from suspension.

 

Funds raised will be utilised for the purpose of satisfying some of the
financial conditions under the Globalvision Agreement, settling with the
additional historical external creditors previously disclosed on the RNS of 20
December 2024 and providing working capital in association with the relisting.
Funds raised will not be used to repay any director loans or make preferential
distributions to directors.

 

The Company and its directors have received a number of direct enquiries in
relation to the perception and management of conflicts arising from interests
in Petroquest  Energy Limited ("Petroquest"), a secured lender.
Petroquest, is managed by an external FCA regulated asset manager and
decisions relating to their interests are made independently, and without
reference to the directors and shareholders of the Company.

 

The Placing will be in the form of an auction process or "Dutch Auction".
Peterhouse will seek bids from Pennpetro shareholders and those appropriately
qualified interested parties for an amount of their choosing , noting the
minimum bid is set at 9.0p. The final price at which the Placing will be
completed,( "Placing Price") will be determined by the Directors of the Board
after they have taken advice from Peterhouse on all of the bids received, the
price at which they have been made and for how many placing shares. Those
interested parties who make a bid which is above the finally determined
Placing Price will have their bids filled at the lower Placing Price. Those
parties who make a bid below the Placing Price will not be able to participate
in the Placing.

 

Application to the Placing

To apply for Placing Shares, Existing Shareholders and other qualified
investors should communicate their bid to Peterhouse via their stockbroker as
Peterhouse cannot take direct orders from individual private investors.
Existing Shareholders or other interested parties who wish to register their
interest in participating in the Placing Shares should instruct their
stockbroker to call Peterhouse on STX: 76086 or 020 7469 0938 or 020 7469 0936
or 020 7220 9797. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares the
existing shareholder or other qualified investor wishes to subscribe for, at
what Placing price and the size of the order in which they wish to
participate.

The Company is not obliged to accept all or any offers and reserves its rights
to cancel or amend the terms of the auction.
