THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS DEEMED BY THE COMPANY TO CONSTITUTE INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) NO. 596/2014 AS IT FORMS PART OF UK DOMESTIC LAW PURSUANT TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018, AS AMENDED. UPON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT VIA A REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE, THIS INFORMATION IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Angus Energy PLC

("Angus Energy", the "Company" or together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") (AIM:ANGS)

Potential Acquisition by Reverse Takeover and Suspension of Trading on AIM

Following recent market speculation, Angus Energy (AIM: ANGS) announces it has entered into a non-binding agreement to purchase a group of producing assets located in the Gulf of America ("Potential Transaction").

Given the nature of the Potential Transaction, this would constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies and accordingly, the Company's shares have been suspended from trading.

Rationale for the Proposed Transaction

Completion of this transformational transaction would represent a major strategic development for Angus Energy, with a significant increase in reserves, production and positive cash flow. The transaction diversifies Angus away from the challenging UK energy sector into assets in a highly supportive oil and gas jurisdiction, with stable and reliable production and low decline.

As part of the acquisition and reverse takeover process, approval of the Company's shareholders in a General Meeting will be required under the AIM Rules. As such, a further announcement with full details of the transaction will be issued at the appropriate time once binding contracts are entered into and an admission document published and sent to shareholders with a notice of general meeting. The Company is working towards finalising the asset purchase agreement and further details and timing will be communicated in due course.

At this stage, the Potential Transaction is non-binding and subject to completing due diligence, funding and other material considerations and there is no certainty that it will be completed, and the timing thereof cannot be determined.

In accordance with Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company's shares have been suspended from trading on AIM with effect from today. The Company's ordinary shares will remain suspended until such time as either an admission document is published, or an announcement is released confirming that the transaction is not proceeding.

Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk that admission of the Company's securities could be cancelled if they have been suspended from trading for six months.

Finance Update

Further to the announcement of 7 May 2025, Angus Energy confirms that while resculpting discussions are ongoing, Trafigura has granted the Company an extension of the first principal repayment until 26 May 2025.
