("Lansdowne" or the "Company")

Director's Dealing

Further to the placing announced earlier today, Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc is pleased to confirm that Tim Torrington, Non-Executive Chairman of Lansdowne, has now subscribed for a total of 2,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Director Subscription Shares") in the share capital of the Company on the same terms as placees being a price of 0.6 pence per share (the "Director Subscription").

Tim Torrington will also be granted warrants to subscribe for 2,000,000 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 1.2 pence per share, with an expiry of 31 December 2020.  The issue of these warrants will be subject to shareholder approval and they will be exercisable from the date of such approval.

Total Voting Rights

Following admission of the Placing Shares and the Initial Loan Shares, as announced earlier today, and the Director Subscription Shares, the Company will have in issue 798,419,845 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each.  No ordinary shares are held in treasury.  Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 798,419,845.

The above total current voting rights number is the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Related Party Transaction

As Tim Torrington is a director of the Company, he is considered a "related party", as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies and the Director Subscription and issue of related warrants is a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 the AIM Rules ("Related Party Transaction").

Steve Boldy, John Aldersey-Williams and Jeffrey Auld, being the independent directors for the purposes of the Related Party Transaction, consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, that the terms and conditions of the Director Subscription and issue of warrants are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
