80 Mile plc (“80 Mile” or “Company”)

Extension of PUSU Deadline and Amendment to Proposed Terms

On 8 September 2026, the boards of 80 Mile and Greenland Energy Company (“Greenland Energy”) announced that they had agreed indicative terms for a merger through an all-share acquisition of 80 Mile by Greenland Energy (the “Transaction”).

Greenland Energy was required, pursuant to Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, by no later than 5.00 p.m. on 3 November 2026 (“PUSU Deadline”) either to announce a firm intention to make an offer for 80 Mile, under Rule 2.7 of the Code, or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for 80 Mile, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies.

Both Greenland Energy and 80 Mile have confirmed that due diligence work on each other is substantially complete and that they are constructively advancing negotiations on the definitive transaction documentation. To allow Greenland Energy to finalise the outstanding confirmatory due diligence and to complete the documentation required for the Rule 2.7 announcement, the Board of 80 Mile has requested consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Panel”) and the Panel have consented to extend the PUSU Deadline by which Greenland Energy is required, pursuant to Rule 2.6(c) of the Code, either to announce a firm intention to make an offer for 80 Mile in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code, or to announce that it does not intend to make an offer for 80 Mile.

The PUSU Deadline has been extended further for a period of 7 days in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code and Greenland Energy is now required by no later than 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 10 November 2026 (the “Extended PUSU Deadline”) to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for 80 Mile in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make such an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline can be extended further with the consent of 80 Mile and the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

Amendment to Proposed Terms

Following further discussions between Greenland Energy and 80 Mile, Greenland Energy no longer intends to issue warrants to existing Greenland Energy shareholders to subscribe for Greenland Energy shares as initially outlined in the Rule 2.4 Announcement dated 8 September 2026. As a consequence 80 Mile shareholders will not suffer the dilutive impact of this instrument and the exchange ratio has been amended to in part reflect this. The revised exchange ratio is expected to be approximately:

0.0079485 of a new Greenland Energy share of common stock of $0.0001 par value ("Greenland Energy Shares") for each existing and to be issued 80 Mile ordinary share of 0.01p each ("80 Mile Shares"). (“Revised Exchange Ratio”).

The Revised Exchange Ratio assumes that 160,500,000 new 80 Mile Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of share options or warrants of 80 Mile, being those options or warrants with an exercise price lower than the implied current value per 80 Mile Share of the Revised Exchange Ratio. The Revised Exchange Ratio values the existing issued share capital of 80 Mile at £92.01 million which translate to an implied current 80 Mile share price of approximately 1.596p based on a closing Greenland Energy share price at the close of business on 2 November 2026 of US$2.68 and at a 1 USD: 1 GBP exchange ratio of 0.75.

Proposed Funding of 80 Mile

Subject to the consent of the Panel, 80 Mile is also pleased to announce that Greenland Energy has indicated its intention to provide the Company with an unsecured convertible loan note of £3 million (the “Loan Note”) with a tenure of 12 months,  at the same time as a firm offer under Rule 2.7 of the Code is made for 80 Mile. 80 Mile’s current cash resources are not expected to be sufficient to execute its articulated strategy through to completion of the Transaction, which could take several months to complete, especially regarding the ramp-up of the Italian biodiesel operations. The Board has therefore concluded that securing committed interim funding is necessary to protect business continuity and the value of the Company for all shareholders.

The detailed terms of the Loan Note remain subject to agreement between the parties and will include provisions relating to interest rate, term, conversion price, and final agreement on the use of funds and the consent of the Panel. Further details will be announced in due course, as appropriate.

Important Takeover Code Note

There can be no certainty that any firm offer will be made nor as to the final terms of such offer, even if the pre-conditions referred to above are satisfied or waived. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to take no action in this regard. Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate. Discussions remain ongoing, confirmatory due diligence has not been completed and the parties have not entered into definitive Transaction documentation.

This announcement has been made with the prior consent of Greenland Energy.

Greenland Energy also reserves the right to amend the terms of any offer, including making the offer at a lower value (but for the avoidance of doubt on no less favourable terms than as required by Rule 6 of the Code, save with the consent of the Panel:

a) with the recommendation or consent of the 80 Mile board;

b) if 80 Mile announces, declares or pays any dividend or any other distribution or return of value to shareholders after the date of this announcement, in which case Greenland Energy reserves the right to make an equivalent reduction to the terms of its proposal;

c) following the announcement by 80 Mile of a Rule 9 waiver pursuant to the Code; or

d) if a third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for 80 Mile.

The Board of 80 Mile will make a further announcement in due course, and as appropriate.

80 Mile continues to remain in an ‘offer period’ in accordance with the rules of the Code, and the attention of 80 Mile shareholders and Greenland Energy shareholders is drawn to the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 8 of the Code, which is summarised below.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) of the Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8 of the Code. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) of the Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Code.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4 of the Code).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains "forward-looking" statements concerning future events. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions are forward looking statements, including all statements related to the potential terms and effects of the potential Transaction and any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry-specific nature.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Greenland Energy and 80 Mile in light of their discussions to date and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate, and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements often use forward-looking or conditional words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "forecast", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aim", "will", "continue", "may", "can", "would", "could" or "should" or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to the following: (i) the potential terms of the Transaction; (ii) the potential impacts of the Transaction; (iii) the outcomes of due diligence and ongoing negotiations and whether a firm offer will be made or the parties are otherwise able to reach binding agreement on terms; (iv) the ability of the parties to satisfy (or waive) conditions to the consummation of the potential Transaction; (v) adverse effects on the market price of Greenland Energy’s or 80 Mile’s respective stock prices or operating results as a result of the announcement of the potential Transaction or failure to agree to binding terms or to otherwise consummate the potential Transaction; (vi) the effect of the announcement or of the potential Transaction on Greenland Energy’s or 80 Mile’s business relationships, operating results and businesses generally; (vii) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, economic performance, synergies, financial conditions, market growth, losses and future prospects; and (viii) business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of the operations of the combined group (if the Transaction completed). There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward looking statements. Among such factors are changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future outcomes or performance and are based on numerous assumptions. By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this announcement are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to Greenland Energy or 80 Mile or any persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. Neither Greenland Energy nor 80 Mile undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
