Enteq Technologies plc

("Enteq", the "Company" or the "Group")

Retail Offer

The Board of Enteq Technologies plc is pleased to announce a retail offer via the BookBuild platform to raise up to £0.5 million (the "Retail Offer") through the issue of up to 10,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") at an issue price of 5.00 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").

In addition to the Retail Offer, and as announced earlier today, the Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares and issue of subscription shares to certain Directors and other investors (the "Placing Shares" and "Subscription Shares" respectively, together with the Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price.

A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and Subscription and its terms. Capitalised terms used in this Announcement and not separately defined shall have the same meaning as defined in the Company's announcement released earlier today.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing and Subscription.

The proceeds of the Retail Offer will be utilised for additional growth working capital and allow for additional fleet build, and full details of the Fundraising, including the background to and reasons for the Placing and Subscription and the Retail Offer is included in the separate announcement released by the Company earlier today.

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 44.4 per cent. to the closing share price of 9.00 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 24 September 2024 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Announcement). The issue price of the Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Issue Price.

The Retail Offer, the Placing and the Subscription are conditional, inter alia, on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission of the Retail Offer Shares is expected to take place on 16 October 2024. Completion of the Retail Offer, the Placing and the Subscription are also conditional upon the Resolutions being duly passed by Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at the offices of Cavendish Capital Markets Limited, One Bartholomew Close, London, EC1A 7BL at 11.00 a.m. on 14 October 2024.

Expected Timetable in relation to the Retail Offer

Any changes to the expected timetable set out above will be notified by the Company through a Regulatory Information Service. References to times are to London times unless otherwise stated.

Dealing Codes

Retail Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is appropriate to provide its eligible existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom with the opportunity to participate in the Retail Offer. The Company is therefore making the Retail Offer available in the United Kingdom through the financial intermediaries which will be listed, subject to certain access restrictions, on the following website:

https://www.bookbuild.live/deals/Z1ZZE1/authorised-intermediaries

Cavendish Capital Markets Limited will be acting as retail offer coordinator in relation to this Retail Offer (the "Retail Offer Coordinator").

Existing retail shareholders can contact their broker or wealth manager ("intermediary") to participate in the Retail Offer. In order to participate in the Retail Offer, each intermediary must be on-boarded onto the BookBuild platform, approved by the Retail Offer Coordinator as an intermediary in respect of the Retail Offer, and agree to the final terms and conditions of the Retail Offer, which regulate, inter alia, the conduct of the Retail Offer on market standard terms and provide for the payment of commission to any intermediary that elects to receive a commission and/or fee (to the extent permitted by the FCA Handbook Rules) from the Retail Offer Coordinator (on behalf of the Company).

Any expenses incurred by any intermediary are for its own account. Investors should confirm separately with any intermediary whether there are any commissions, fees or expenses that will be applied by such intermediary in connection with any application made through that intermediary pursuant to the Retail Offer.

The Retail Offer will be open to eligible investors in the United Kingdom at 7.05 a.m. on 25 September 2024. The Retail Offer is expected to close at 4.30 p.m. on 30 September 2024. Investors should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier closing times. The Retail Offer may close early if it is oversubscribed.

If any intermediary has any questions about how to participate in the Retail Offer on behalf of existing retail shareholders, please contact the Retail Offer Coordinator or BookBuild at email: [email protected].

The Retail Offer is and will be, at all times, made only to, directed at and may only be acted upon by those persons who are, shareholders in the Company. To be eligible to participate in the Retail Offer, applicants must meet the following criteria before they can submit an order for Retail Offer Shares: (i) be a customer of one of the participating intermediaries listed on the above website; (ii) be resident in the United Kingdom and (iii) be a shareholder in the Company (which may include individuals aged 18 years or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts, associations and other unincorporated organisations and includes persons who hold their shares in the Company directly or indirectly through a participating intermediary). For the avoidance of doubt, persons who only hold CFDs, Spreadbets and/or similar derivative instruments in relation to shares in the Company are not eligible to participate in the Retail Offer.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to reject any application for subscription under the Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

It is vital to note that once an application for Retail Offer Shares has been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.

The New Ordinary 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 the date of Admission.

The Retail Offer is an offer to subscribe for transferable securities, the terms of which ensure that the Company is exempt from the requirement to issue a prospectus under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. It is a term of the Retail Offer that the aggregate total consideration payable for the Retail Offer Shares will not exceed £0.5 million (or the equivalent in Euros). The exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus, set out in section 86(1)(e) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended), will apply to the Retail Offer.

The Retail Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom and, in particular, is not being made to US Persons (as defined in Regulation S of the US Securities Act 1933, as amended).

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (or any other authority) in relation to the Retail Offer, and investors' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement and information that has been published by or on behalf of the Company prior to the date of this Announcement by notification to a Regulatory Information Service in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange, Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the Market Abuse Regulation (EU Regulation No. 596/2014) ("MAR") as it forms part of United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended).

There is a minimum subscription of £100.00 per investor under the terms of the Retail Offer which is open to investors in the United Kingdom subscribing via the intermediaries which will be listed, subject to certain access restrictions, on the following website:

https://www.bookbuild.live/deals/Z1ZZE1/authorised-intermediaries

There is no maximum application amount to apply in the 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 Directors believe that if required, future funding may be sourced, potentially from debt, industry partnerships or technology licences, with the partnerships and licences being with multi-national, large regional service or directional drilling companies. This current Fundraising, and the subsequent base case scenario is not expected to be fully sufficient to fund the cash requirements of the Group through to a position where it is able to fund itself entirely from its own cashflow. Therefore, following this Fundraising, it is expected that the Group will require additional funding, from the sources described above, by July 2025, assuming no funds are raised in the Retail Offer. Alternatively, the Company would need to reduce its spending plans some time before July 2025. There can be no guarantee that sufficient funds could be raised at a later date, and any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to Shareholders.

Shareholders should note that in the event that the Resolutions are not passed, the Company would not receive the funds from the Placing, Subscription or the Retail Offer, which would significantly limit the amount of working capital available to the Company. There is no certainty that other funding would be available on suitable terms or at all. Accordingly, in light of the Group's reducing cash position, it would be likely that the Company would have to severely restrict its costs, impacting its ability to progress its business and its ability to generate value for the Group.

The separate announcement released by the Company earlier today includes details of further key risks associated with an investment in the Company.

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 Retail Offer Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks, including the risk that investors may lose their entire investment. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the 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. AIM has been in existence since June 1995 but its future success and liquidity in the market for the Company's shares cannot be guaranteed.

This Announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, the information in the "Important Notices" section of the Announcement should be read and understood.

About SABER:

Enteq Technologies plc is a specialist energy services engineering and technology company. With a history of developing and commercialising technologies for the oil, gas, geothermal and other energy transition sectors around the world, the primary focus for the Group is the commercialisation of SABER (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary), a novel alternative to existing Rotary Steerable Systems ("RSS") which steer the bit during the drilling of a well.

The SABER tool is based on a concept for a RSS, originally developed by Shell, as an alternative, simpler solution to the conventional mechanically complex incumbent RSS systems requiring pads or pistons to create steering forces. The SABER tool reduces the mechanical complexity by using an internally directed fluid pressure differential system. The SABER tool utilises true at-bit steering for the first time in the industry and the simplified design gives the potential to improve efficiencies, reliability and project uptime compared to conventional RSS solutions.

The total size of the directional drilling market, which can fluctuate, is currently valued at approximately US$11.8 billion annually, according to a recent 2023 report from Spears & Associates. The Directors believe that the global RSS market, a sub-sector of the directional drilling market, is currently worth approximately US$3.6 billion.

The SABER Tool has the potential to drive operational efficiency across the world's directional drilling applications, including hydrocarbon production, geothermal energy, methane capture and CCS (carbon capture and storage). Enteq will provide the SABER tool to customers through a service arrangement or equipment purchase, providing independent and regional directional drilling companies more opportunity to compete with major integrated service companies which have to date dominated this segment.

The Group has licence agreements in place with subsidiaries of Shell which gives Enteq the global rights for this novel technology and IP. Enteq has developed and refined the concept for commercial use, with Enteq generating additional protected IP, owned by Enteq. Following successful field testing, the SABER Tool is now in customer testing, and customer test active trial drilling runs of the full system are upcoming.
