Issue of Equity - In Lieu of Fees

Gold exploration and development company Panthera Resources Plc (AIM: PAT), with assets in West Africa and India, announces the issue of 158,337 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"), at an average issue price of 16.973 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") to settle certain director fees.

The Company has agreed to issue 158,337 new Ordinary Shares in order to satisfy the Company's non-executive directors' accrued fees for the period between October 2025 to 31 March 2026 (together the "Fee Shares").

In this regard, the issue of the Fee Shares reduces the Company's cash expenditures and further aligns the interests of the Company's board of directors with the Company's shareholders. The Fee Shares were priced at the 30-day volume-weighted average price in the month preceding each respective fee period. Further details of the Fee Shares are as follows:

Application for Admission

Application has been made for the 158,337 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take effect on or around 13 April 2026 ("Admission").

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 258,298,088 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
