BY THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY (FRN 141455).

Sunda Energy plc
("Sunda" or the "Company")
WRAP Retail Offer for up to £230,000
Sunda Energy plc (AIM: SNDA), the AIM-quoted exploration and appraisal company
focused on gas assets in Southeast Asia, is pleased to announce a retail offer
via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £230,000
(the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of 0.025
pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
Under the WRAP Retail Offer up to 920,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP
Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 0.025 pence per
share (the "Issue Price"). As part of the WRAP Retail Offer, the Company
has agreed that one warrant for every two WRAP Retail Offer Shares will be
granted (for no additional subscription cost), with each warrant entitling the
holder to acquire one new Ordinary Share at a price of 0.0375 pence up to the
third anniversary of the date of grant (the "Warrants").
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced by the Company
immediately prior to this announcement, the Company has raised conditionally
gross proceeds of £240,000 by way of the Subscription.
The WRAP Retail Offer is being made available to new and existing shareholders
of the Company and is being made on the same financial terms as the
Subscription.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Subscription and sets out
the reasons for the Fundraising and use of proceeds. The proceeds of the
WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the
Subscription.
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 WRAP Retail Offer and the Subscription are conditional on the New Ordinary
Shares (comprising the Subscription Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer 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 8:00 a.m. on 21 October 2025.
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is
appropriate to provide both new and 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 open to eligible
investors in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement, being
new retail investors or existing shareholders of Sunda, and through certain
financial intermediaries.
A number of retail platforms are able to access the WRAP Retail Offer.
Non-holders or existing shareholders wishing to subscribe for WRAP Retail
Offer Shares should contact their broker or wealth manager who will confirm if
they are participating in the Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 4.30pm on 16 October 2025.
Eligible investors should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier
closing times.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of
eligible retail investors, should contact wrap@winterflood.com.
To be eligible to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be a
customer of a participating intermediary including individuals aged 18 years
or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts,
associations and other unincorporated organisations.
There is a minimum subscription of £250 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 of the WRAP 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 WRAP Retail Offer 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.
It is a term of the WRAP Retail Offer that the total value of the WRAP Retail
Offer Shares available for subscription at the Issue Price does not exceed
£230,000, or such greater size as agreed by the Company.
It should be noted that the Warrants do not guarantee any return and will
expire if not exercised prior to their expiry date. If the share price of the
Company does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants prior to their
expiry date then it is unlikely that any of the Warrants would be exercised.
The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under the exemption
from the requirement to publish a prospectus in section 86(1)(e) of FSMA. As
such, there is no need for publication of a prospectus pursuant to the
Prospectus Regulation Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, 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.
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.
Words and expressions defined in the announcement of the Company at 7.00
am on 15 October 2025 shall have the same meaning in this announcement.

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.
