NEWS RELEASE | 26 March 2021

Issue of shares on exercise of unlisted options

Berkeley Energia Limited (Company) has today issued 376,480 fully paid ordinary following the exercise of A$0.35 unlisted options.

800,000 unlisted options were exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise facility, resulting in the issue of 376,480 shares, per the Company's shareholder approved long-term incentive equity plan.

Application will be made to the London and Spanish Stock Exchanges for the new ordinary shares, which rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on the LSE (as depository interests) and to the Spanish Stock Exchanges. Dealings are expected to commence in due course (Admission).

The Company's issued ordinary share capital following Admission is 258,981,900 ordinary shares.

The above figure of 258,981,900 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders 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 FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules and the CNMVs Listing rules.

An Appendix 2A has been provided below.
