Angus Energy Plc 

("Angus Energy", "Angus" or the "Company")

Update on Installation Schedule at Saltfleetby

The Company updates on progress on its installation and commissioning schedule.  Additional noise abatement and other modifications has occasioned some small delay in the arrival of the compressor skid but with no impact on overall timeline.  Remaining civil engineering is limited to bunding works around select skids and tanker offtake areas.  Welding continues at pace, with some 500 butt-welds now completed.

Dry commissioning is expected to begin on 26 April with select hydrotesting of key site pipework.  This will be augmented with electrical and control tests during early May.  Wet commissioning is expected to begin at or around 15 May and is expected to last approximately two weeks.  The Company continues to target First Gas by 1 June allowing for one full month of unhedged production. 

END.
