Exercise of 12p Warrants

12 October 2021

Empyrean Energy ("Empyrean" or the "Company"), the oil and gas development company with interests in China, Indonesia and the United States, advises that it has received further notices to exercise warrants (exercise price 12p per Warrant) over a total of 300,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Warrant Shares"), for which funds of £ 36,000 have been received by the Company.

Application will be made for the admission of the Warrant Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place on 18 October 2021. The Warrant Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares on issue.

As part of the above, Non-executive director of the Company, John (Spencer) Laycock, exercised 100,000 warrants. Following the exercise of his warrants, Mr Laycock has an interest in 3,900,000 New Ordinary Shares, representing 0.68% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.

The Company will also issue 300,000 replacement incentive warrants expiring 22 October 2022 (including 100,000 such warrants to John (Spencer) Laycock) with an exercise price of 12p and 300,000 bonus warrants expiring 22 July 2023 with an exercise price of 18p (including 100,000 such warrants to John (Spencer) Laycock), in accordance with the terms of the warrants being exercised, as detailed in the announcement on 9 July 2021.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 573,629,113 ordinary shares of 0.2p each (the "Shares"), each with voting rights. This figure 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, securities of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
