Rockhopper Exploration plc

("Rockhopper" or the "Company")

 

Exercise of Options & Blocklisting Application

 

Rockhopper Exploration plc (AIM: RKH), the oil and gas company with key
interests in the North Falkland Basin, announces that it has issued a total
of 1,000,000 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary
Shares") pursuant to the exercise of share options by an employee. The New
Ordinary Shares were issued during October 2025 under the Company's existing
blocklisting entitlement.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

In conformity with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules, the Company confirms that, as at 31 October 2025, the
issued ordinary share capital of the Company consists of 646,213,765 ordinary
shares of 1 pence each with voting rights attached (one vote per ordinary
share). The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury at the date of this
disclosure. The issued share capital figure can be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which to determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Blocklisting Application

 

The Company also announces that it has made an application to the London Stock
Exchange for a blocklisting of 17,079,589 ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company (the "New Blocklisting Shares"). It is expected that admission
will become effective on or around 6 November 2025. The New Blocklisting
Shares will be used to provide additional headroom to satisfy the issue of
shares pursuant to the exercise of options under the Rockhopper Exploration
plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2013 and the Rockhopper Exploration plc Share
Option Plan 2020 (collectively the "Employee Share Schemes"). The New
Blocklisting Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in
all respects with the existing ordinary shares.
