88 Energy Limited

Proposed placing to raise up to A$9.8 million approximately (£5.23 million)

88 Energy Limited ("88 Energy" or the "Company") (ASX, AIM: 88E) today announces that it proposes to raise up to A$9.8 million (approximately £5.23 million) (before expenses), within the Company's existing placement capacity, pursuant to a placing (the "Placing") of new ordinary shares of no par value in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price per Placing Share of A$0.003 (equivalent to £0.0016) (the "Placing Price") per share.

The Placing Price is equivalent to a discount of 40% to the closing price of the Company's shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") on 22 April 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement, and a discount of 33.7% to the volume weighted average price on the ASX for the five days prior to 23 April 2024. The Company also announces that its shares have been placed in a trading halt on the ASX pending the release of an announcement in relation to the completion of the Placing.

The Placing is being conducted through a bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuild"), which is being managed by Cavendish Capital Markets Limited ("Cavendish") in the UK (the "UK Placing") and EurozHartleys Ltd ("EurozHartleys") and Inyati Capital Pty Ltd (Inyati) in Australia (the "Australian Placing").

The Bookbuild will open with immediate effect following release of this announcement. The number of Placing Shares to be issued in the UK (the "UK Placing Shares"), will be agreed by Cavendish, EurozHartleys and Inyati and the Company at the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the amount to be raised and allocations are at the discretion of Cavendish, EurozHartleys, Inyati and the Company. Details of the number of Placing Shares to be issued will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild. The Company intends to rely on the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 to issue up to a maximum of 3,291,974,839 new ordinary shares (equivalent to maximum gross proceeds of up toA$9.8 million (approximately £5.23 million), such that shareholder approval will not be required for the Placing.

Current trading and activity

The Company released its financial results for the year ending 31 December 2023 ("HY 2023"), including the events occurring after the period end, on 28 March 2024, and recently the Company released its first quarter report on 18 April 2024, and as at 31 March 2024 had cash resources of A$17.5 million.

Project Phoenix

Project Phoenix is focused on oil-bearing conventional reservoirs identified during the drilling and logging of Icewine-1 and Hickory-1 and adjacent offset drilling and testing.  Project Phoenix is strategically located on the Dalton Highway with the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System running through the acreage.

Hickory -1 Exploration Well

The Hickory-1 discovery well was previously drilled in February 2023. All American Oilfield's upgraded Rig-111 was subsequently secured in September 2023 to conduct the flow test. During the March 2024 quarter, ice road and pad construction works were completed and the rig was subsequently mobilised. Flow test operations commenced in March 2024.

The testing operations focussed on the two primary targets, the SFS and SMD reservoirs. Of the SFS series of reservoirs, the Upper SFS reservoir was targeted to be flow tested as it has not been previously tested, whereas the Lower SFS has previously been flow tested and producibility of that reservoir confirmed on adjacent acreage. The Upper SFS was followed by a targeted testing of the SMD-B reservoir.

Upper SFS flow test results

A 20ft perforated interval in the Upper SFS reservoir was stimulated via a single fracture stage of 241,611 lbs proppant volume. The well was cleaned-up and flowed for 111 hours in total, of which 88 hours was under natural flow back and 23.5 hours utilising nitrogen lift.

The USFS test produced at a peak flow rate of over ~70 bopd. Oil cuts increased throughout the flow back period as the well cleaned up, reaching a maximum of 15% oil cut at the end of the flow test program. The Company expects that oil rates and cut would have likely increased further should the test period have been extended. The well produced at an average oil flow rate of approximately 42 bopd during the natural flow back period, with instantaneous rates ranging from approximately 10 - 77 bopd with average rates increasing through the test period.  Importantly, the USFS zone flowed oil to surface under natural flow. A total of 3,960bbls of fluid was injected into the reservoir and 2,882bbls of water was recovered during the flow back period, most of which was injection fluid. Total flow rates (inclusive of recovery of frac fluid) averaged ~600 bbl/d over the duration of the flow back.

SMD-B flow test results

A 20ft perforated interval in the SMD-B reservoir was stimulated via a single fracture stage comprising 226,967 lbs of proppant volume. The well was cleaned-up and flowed for 84 hours in total, utilising nitrogen lift throughout the entire test period. The average fluid flow rate over the duration of the flow back period was approximately 445 bbls/d, with choke sizes ranging from 8/64ths to 33/64ths.

The SMD-B test produced at a peak estimated flow rate of ~50 bopd. Oil cuts varied throughout the flow back period, reaching a maximum of 10% oil cut. The well produced at an average oil cut of 4% following initial oil to surface, with instantaneous rates observed during the 16-hour period varying as the well continued to clean up. Total stimulation load water was not recovered and water salinity measurements indicated we were recovering load water at the conclusion of the test..

Project Icewine West

Icewine West contains the Charlie-1 discovery well drilled in 2020 where hydrocarbons were successfully recovered from the Torok formation during wireline operations.

Mapping activity at Icewine West identified a series of SMD prospects, the majority of which have not yet been drilled. Given the recent success of the SMD at Hickory-1, 88E intends to assess these prospects and add them to the already extensive prospective resource portfolio at Icewine West; this includes the interpreted extension of the Kodiak contingent resources recently certified by Pantheon on their acreage onto the Icewine West acreage. The Basin Floor Fan, mapped across Pantheon's Kodiak field, as well as 88 Energy's Phoenix and Icewine West Projects, is the same play type as (although slightly younger than) 88 Energy's Lima Complex.

Project Leonis

Project Leonis is superbly located adjacent to TAPS and the Dalton Highway, enhancing the future potential for commercialisation. The acreage is covered by an existing data suite including Storms 3D seismic data and the Hemi Springs Unit #3 (HS-3) exploration well drilled by ARCO in 1985, which logged 200 feet of bypassed net pay in the now-producing USB reservoir, with good porosity and oil shows including oil over shakers at multiple depths.

The maiden prospective resource estimate for Upper Schrader Bluff reservoir expected H1 2024.

A farm-out process has commenced with multiple parties engaged and reviewing data room materials, ahead of potential drilling of a new well in 2025/2026 Alaska winter operational season.

Project Peregrine

As announced on 21 December 2023, Project Peregrine received a 12-month suspension until 30 November 2024 from the Bureau of Land Management Alaska.

During the suspension period, 88 Energy will persist with the refinement of internal geological and geophysical models/interpretation, including further optimisation of the Harrier-1 location however, no physical work will occur on the leases other than to perform any necessary maintenance and safety activities. The suspension also relieved 88 Energy of the obligation to pay lease rentals during the suspension period of ~A$0.5 million, which were due in Q1 2024.

Project Longhorn

In December 2023, the Joint Venture (Bighorn JV), Bighorn Energy LLC (Bighorn) which comprises Longhorn Energy Investments LLC (LEI) a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of 88 Energy with 75% ownership and Lonestar I, LLC (Lonestar or Operator) with remaining 25% ownership, finalised its 2024 work program and budget. The Bighorn JV agreed to a development program that included 5 workovers in 1H 2024 and 2 new wells in 2H 2024, contingent on successful workovers.

During the first quarter, the Bighorn JV commenced two of the planned five workovers with assessment of production occurring during April 2024.

Q1 2024 production averaged a fairly steady 328 BOE per day gross (~62% oil) which was slightly below the budgeted volume of 346 BOE per day gross (65% oil) due to January winter storms and the Company received a cash flow distribution of A$0.7M in March 2024.

The Bighorn JV executed a ~10% sell-down (gross, ~7% net to 9Energy) of the 2023 acquired acreage, in order to re-disk and accelerate development opportunities. The transaction realised acquisition payments of ~A$0.3M and the non-operated partners will contribute their share of the capital development costs coupled with a 25% carry of their ownership share on the five 2024 WP&B agreed workovers.

Namibia

In February 2024, the Company announced the successful 20% WI transfer by Monitor Exploration Limited (Monitor) to 88 Energy in relation to PEL 93 located in the Owambo Basin, Namibia following receipt approval from the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

The Company, via its wholly-owned Namibian subsidiary, previously executed a three-stage farm-in agreement in November 2023 for up to a 45% non-operated working interest in onshore Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL 93), which covers 18,500km2 of underexplored ground within the Owambo Basin in Namibia (refer to ASX announcement dated 13 November 2023).

Under the terms of the agreement, 88 Energy may earn up to a 45% working interest by funding its share of agreed costs under the 2023-2024 approved work program and budget as defined in the Farm-In Agreement (2024 Work Program) and any future work program budgets yet to be agreed. The maximum total investment by the Company is anticipated to be US$18.7 million.

Namibia has been identified as one of the last remaining under-explored onshore frontier basins and one of the World's most prospective new exploration zones. PEL 93 is more than 10 times larger than 88 Energy's Alaskan portfolio and more than 70 times larger than Project Phoenix.

Recent drilling results on nearby acreage has highlighted the potential of a new and underexplored conventional oil and gas play in the Damara Fold belt, referred to as the Damara Play. Historical assessment utilised a combination of techniques and interpretation of legacy data to identify the Owambo Basin, and specifically blocks 1717 and 1817, as having significant exploration potential.

Monitor has utilised a range of geophysical and geochemical techniques to assess and validate the significant potential of the acreage since award of PEL 93 in 2018. It has identified ten (10) independent structural closures from airborne geophysical methods and partly verified these using existing 2D seismic coverage. Further, ethane concentration measured in soil samples over interpreted structural leads validates the existence of an active petroleum system, with passive seismic anomalies also aligning closely to both interpreted structural leads and measured alkane molecules (c1-c5) concentrations in soil.

The forward work-program will start with a low impact ~200 line-kilometre 2D seismic program focusing on confirming the structural closures of the 10 independent leads identified. The 2D seismic program will be conducted in mid-2024 following a period of planning, public consultation, updating of environmental compliance requirements and relevant approvals. Results from the 2D seismic program will then be incorporated into existing historical exploration data over the acreage, with results used to identify possible exploration drilling locations.

Rationale for the Placing and Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds of the Placing, together with the Company's existing cash reserves, will strengthen the Company's balance sheet and will provide the Company with sufficient capital to fund:

·     Project Phoenix, Alaska: Following the successful flow testing at the Hickory-1 discovery well, 88 Energy will be focused on:

o  Completing post-well testing and analysis at Hickory-1;

o  Securing a contingent resource for the SFS and SMD reservoirs;

o  Commencing a formal farm-out process to attract a high-quality new partner to fund the next stage of appraisal and development; and

o  Advance planning and design of a early stage production system.

·     PEL 93, Namibia: Completion of 2D Seismic program, generation of a maiden prospective resource report and other studies associated with the Owambo Basin.

·     Project Leonis, Alaska: Securing a farm-out partner to fund a future exploration well to test the proven producing Upper Schrader Bluff (USB) reservoir and continue further studies and analysis.

·     Funds will also be applied towards Alaskan lease rental costs, working capital and assessment of further new venture opportunities.

Following completion of the proposed Placing, the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its ongoing working capital requirements and general and administrative overheads for at least 12 months.

88 Energy has made the decision to complete the Placing to secure funding arrangements to fund the transition to post well analysis and to secure further Contingent Resources at Project Phoenix.

The Company intend to commence a formal farm-out process for Project Phoenix following completion of the Hickory-1 post flow test analysis, with the aim of attracting a strategic partner for the next stage of development and commercialisation.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures constitute retained EU law (as defined in section 6(7) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) in the United Kingdom) ("Retained MiFID Provisions" (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such securities 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 MiFID II and the Retained MiFID Provisions; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II and the Retained MiFID Provisions (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing 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 the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.  Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Cavendish will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or the Retained MiFID Provisions; 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 Placing Shares. 

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

Cavendish is acting as agent for and on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing and has entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company under which Cavendish has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees (on a non-underwritten basis) to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price per Placing Share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein. In consideration of Cavendish acting as agent for and on behalf of the Company, Cavendish will be entitled to commission and may be granted 25,000,000 options (exercisable at A$0.0055 (equivalent to £0.0029)on or before the date which is 3 years from the date of issue of the warrants) subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Placing Agreement. The grant of these options is subject to shareholder approval.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"), including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares, and will on issue be free of all claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and equities.

Application for admission to trading on AIM

Applications will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM") ("Admission"). It is expected that settlement for the Placing Shares and Admission will take place on or around 8.00 a.m. London time on  1 May 2024 (or such other time and date as Cavendish may agree with the Company, but no later than 15  May 2024). The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1.         Cavendish is arranging the Placing as placing agent of the Company for the purpose of procuring Placees at the Placing Price (as defined above) for the Placing Shares following completion of the Bookbuilding Process (as defined below).

2.         Commencing today, Cavendish will be conducting an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuilding Process") in the United Kingdom to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. These Terms and Conditions give details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.

3.         Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who are Relevant Persons and who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Cavendish.

4.         The Placing Price of 0.16 pence per Placing Share payable by all Placees whose bids are successful is fixed.

5.         The number of Placing Shares will be agreed between Cavendish and the Company following completion of the Bookbuilding Process. The Company, in conjunction with Cavendish, reserves the right to accept over-subscriptions for Placing Shares and to determine the maximum number of Placing Shares that will be issued in the Placing. However, the Company intends to rely on the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to a maximum of 3,291,974,839 new ordinary shares (equivalent to maximum aggregate gross proceeds of the UK Placing and the Australian Placing of A$9.8 million (approximately £5.23 million)), such that shareholder approval will not be required for the Placing.

6.         The books will open with immediate effect. The Bookbuilding Process is then expected to close not later than 5.00 p.m. London time on 23 April 2024 but may be closed earlier at the sole discretion of Cavendish. A further announcement will be released on a Regulatory Information Service as soon as practicable following the close of the Bookbuilding Process, detailing the final number of Placing Shares and the gross and net proceeds of the Placing. The Company reserves the right (upon the agreement of Cavendish) to increase or reduce the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.

7.         A bid in the Bookbuilding Process will be made on the terms and conditions in these Terms and Conditions and will not be capable of variation or revocation after the close of the Bookbuilding Process.

8.         A Placee who wishes to participate in the Bookbuilding Process should communicate its bid by telephone to the usual sales contact at Cavendish. Each bid should either state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for or a fixed monetary amount at, in either case, the Placing Price. If successful, Cavendish will re-contact and confirm orally to its Placees following the close of the Bookbuilding Process the size of their respective allocations and contract notes will be dispatched thereafter. The identity of Placees and the basis of the allocations are at the discretion of Cavendish in consultation with the Company. Cavendish's oral confirmation of the size of allocations will constitute an irrevocable legally binding agreement with the Placee concerned in favour of the Company and Cavendish, pursuant to which each such Placee will be required to accept the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Placing Price (up to the number of Placing Shares indicated in its bid) and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein and in accordance with the Company's constitution. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note issued to such Placee by Cavendish. The terms of these Terms and Conditions will be deemed incorporated in that contract note. Each such Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Cavendish, to pay it or (as it may direct) one of its affiliates in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to such Placee.

9.         Cavendish reserves the right to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in accordance with the Company and to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed for or acquired by any Placee in the event of an oversubscription under the Placing. Cavendish also reserves the right not to accept offers to subscribe for or acquire Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of Cavendish. Cavendish shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuilding Process as it may determine in agreement with the Company.

10.       Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

11.       All obligations of Cavendish under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement".

12.       By participating in the Placing, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

13.       Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Cavendish or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

14.       To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither Cavendish, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any responsibility or liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither of Cavendish, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Cavendish's conduct of the Placing and the Bookbuilding Process or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing or the Bookbuilding Process as Cavendish and the Company may agree.

15.       The Placing is not subject to any minimum fundraising and no element of the Placing is underwritten by Cavendish or any other person.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

Cavendish's obligations under the Placing Agreement in relation to the Placing of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:

(a)     admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM occurring at or before 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 1 May 2024 (or such later time and/or date as the Company and Cavendish may otherwise agree, being no later than 15  May 2024);

(b)     the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Placing Agreement so far as those obligations fall to be performed prior to Admission; and

(c)     the Company having confirmed to Cavendish that, prior to the delivery of such confirmation, none of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained in the Placing Agreement was untrue, inaccurate or misleading at the date of the Placing Agreement or will be untrue, inaccurate or misleading immediately prior to Admission.

If: (i) any of the conditions in relation to the Placing of the Placing Shares contained in the Placing Agreement, including those described above, are not fulfilled or (where permitted) waived by Cavendish by the relevant time or date specified (or such later time or date as the Company and Cavendish may agree, being no later than 15 May 2024); or (ii) any of such conditions become incapable of being fulfilled; or (iii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below, the Placing will lapse and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by it in respect thereof.

Cavendish may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it considers fit, waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement save that the above condition relating to Admission taking place may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Cavendish shall not have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision it may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision it may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Cavendish.

Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement

Cavendish is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company if, amongst other things:

(a)        any statement contained in or this Announcement has become or has been discovered to be untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect or that there has been a material omission therefrom;

(b)       any of the warranties given by the Company in the Placing Agreement is untrue, inaccurate or misleading;

(c)        the Company materially fails to comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement;

(d)                    there has occurred, in Cavendish's opinion, acting in good faith, a material adverse change in the business of the Group or in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group; or

(e)       (i) any material adverse change in financial markets; (ii) any incident of terrorism or outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any declaration by the UK or the US of a national emergency or war or any other calamity or crisis; (iii) any suspension or termination of trading in the Ordinary Shares or AIM or the ASX generally; or (iv) a banking moratorium in the UK or Australia;

which in the reasonable opinion of Cavendish, acting in good faith, would or would be likely to prejudice materially the Group or the Placing.

Upon such termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement subject to certain exceptions.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Cavendish of any right of termination or by Cavendish of any other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Cavendish, and that Cavendish need not make any reference to Placees and that Cavendish shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

No Admission Document or Prospectus

The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only, and will not be offered in such a way as to require an admission document or prospectus in the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction. No offering document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the London Stock Exchange or by the exchange operated by the ASX, or by the FCA or by any other regulatory body in relation to the Placing.

Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement released by the Company today and subject to the further terms set out in these Terms and Conditions and in the contract note to be provided to individual prospective Placees. Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) and all other publicly available information previously published by the Company by notification to a Regulatory Information Service or otherwise filed by the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or Cavendish or any other person and neither the Company, nor Cavendish, nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made by Cavendish in relation to, and no representation or liability is or will be accepted by Cavendish, or by any of their affiliates or agents, as to or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other such information. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this Announcement shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation by that person.

Registration and Settlement

United Kingdom

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: AU00000088E2) following Admission will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & International Limited ("CREST") by the issue of depository instruments. Subject to certain exceptions, Cavendish and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or any part thereof) to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a contract note by Cavendish stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Cavendish and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions in respect of the Placing Shares that it has in place with Cavendish.

It is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares will be on 1 May 2024, in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the prevailing Sterling Overnight Index Average as determined by Cavendish.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Cavendish may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Cavendish's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) or other similar taxes imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

31.       undertakes that it (and any person acting on its behalf) will make payment in respect of the Placing Shares allocated to it in accordance with these Terms and Conditions on the due time and date set out herein, failing which the relevant Placing Shares may be placed with other acquirers or sold as Cavendish may in its sole discretion determine and without liability to such Placee, who will remain liable for any amount by which the net proceeds of such sale falls short of the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and may be required to bear any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placee's Placing Shares;

32.       that its allocation (if any) of Placing Shares will represent a maximum number of Placing Shares which it will be entitled, and required, to acquire, and that Cavendish and/or the Company may call upon it to acquire a lower number of Placing Shares (if any), but in no event in aggregate more than the aforementioned maximum;

33.       acknowledges that none of the Company, nor Cavendish, nor any of their respective affiliates, nor any person acting on behalf of them, is making any recommendations to it, advising it regarding the suitability of any transactions it may enter into in connection with the Placing and that its participation in the Placing is on the basis that it is not and will not be a client of Cavendish in connection with its participation in the Placing and that Cavendish have no duties or responsibilities to it for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients or customers or for providing advice in relation to the Placing nor in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities contained in the Placing Agreement nor for the exercise or performance of any of their respective rights and obligations thereunder including any rights to waive or vary any conditions or exercise any termination right. Further, it acknowledges that any payment by it will not be treated as client money as governed by the FCA Handbook rules;

34.       acknowledges that any money held in an account by Cavendish on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations under FSMA and that the money will therefore not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules. As a consequence, the Placee acknowledges that its money will not be segregated from Cavendish's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by each of Cavendish in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Cavendish;

35.       undertakes that the person whom it specifies for registration as holder of the Placing Shares will be (i) itself or (ii) its nominee, as the case may be. Neither Cavendish nor the Company will be responsible for any liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes resulting from a failure to observe this requirement ("Indemnified Taxes"). Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of such Placee agrees to participate in the Placing and it agrees to indemnify the Company and Cavendish on an after-tax basis in respect of any Indemnified Taxes on the basis that the Placing Shares will be allotted to the CREST stock account of Cavendish who will hold them as nominee on behalf of such Placee until settlement in accordance with its standing settlement instructions;

36.       acknowledges that these Terms and Conditions and any agreements entered into by it pursuant to these Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix, and all non-contractual or other obligations arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and it submits (on behalf of itself and on behalf of any person on whose behalf it is acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract (including any dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of such contract or relating to any non-contractual or other obligation arising out of or in connection with such contract), except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by either the Company or Cavendish in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange;

37.       agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold the Company, Cavendish and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings in these Terms and Conditions and further agrees that the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall survive after completion of the Placing;

38.       represents and warrants that it has neither received nor relied on any inside information concerning the Company prior to or in connection with accepting this invitation to participate in the Placing and is not purchasing Placing Shares on the basis of material non-public information and if it has received any confidential price sensitive information about the Company in advance of the Placing, it has neither dealt in securities of the Company, encouraged or required any other person to deal in securities of the Company or disclosed any such information to any other person prior to the information being made publicly and generally available;

39.       acknowledges that its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein and in the trade confirmation or contract note will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms of the Placing, and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing;

40.       if it is a pension fund or investment company, its purchase of Placing Shares is in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

41.       acknowledges and agrees that it irrevocably appoints any director of Cavendish as its agent for the purposes of executing and delivering to the Company and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares agreed to be taken up by it under the Placing;

42.       represents and warrants that it will provide Cavendish with such relevant documents as it may reasonably request to comply with requests or requirements that either they or the Company may receive from regulators in relation to the Placing, subject to its legal, regulatory and compliance requirements and restrictions;

43.       agrees that the Company, Cavendish and their respective affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings which are given to Cavendish on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable and irrevocably authorises the Company and Cavendish to produce this Announcement, pursuant to, in connection with, or as may be required by any applicable law or regulation, administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters set forth herein;

44.       acknowledges that the Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Announcement;

45.       acknowledges that time is of the essence as regard its obligations in respect of its participation in the Placing under these Terms and Conditions;

46.       acknowledges that it will be bound by the terms of the constitution of the Company; and

47.       acknowledges that any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its own risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to Cavendish.

The foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are given to Cavendish for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable and shall not be capable of termination in any circumstances.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (and/or to persons for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement also assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Cavendish will be responsible and the Placees shall indemnify the Company and Cavendish on an after-tax basis for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax paid by them in respect of any such arrangements or dealings. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Cavendish accordingly.

The Company and Cavendish are not liable to bear any transfer taxes that arise on a sale of Placing Shares subsequent to their acquisition by Placees or for transfer taxes arising otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such transfer tax liability arises and notify Cavendish accordingly. Furthermore, each Placee agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each of Cavendish and the Company and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax and all other similar duties or taxes to the extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise from the unreasonable default or delay of that Placee or its agent.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that neither the Company, nor Cavendish owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Cavendish or any of its affiliates may, at its absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Cavendish, any money held in an account with Cavendish on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Cavendish's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Cavendish in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Cavendish.

The rights and remedies of Cavendish and the Company under these terms and conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. Cavendish shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.
