Jersey, Channel Islands, 14 July 2020 - Serinus Energy plc ("Serinus", "SEN" or the "Company") (AIM:SENX, WSE:SEN) announces that further to the announcement of Executive Salary Reductions news release of 27 April 2020, the Company confirms it has now issued 405,007 ordinary shares in the Company to the Executive Directors in lieu of the salary sacrifice scheme, the details of which are set out in the table below ("Salary Sacrifice Shares"). The Salary Sacrifice Shares were issued at a price of 7.407 pence which has been determined by dividing the gross amount of salary deducted by the volume weighted average of the middle market quotations for one Ordinary Share for the 90 days ending on 30 June 2020.

The details are as follow:

Director	Number of Salary Sacrifice Shares	Total number of ordinary shares now held in the Company	Percentage interest in the Company's Ordinary Shares
Jeffrey Auld	236,254	258,451	0.108%
Andrew Fairclough	168,753	168,753	0.071%

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the Salary Sacrifice Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 July 2020 ("Admission").

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 239,286,292 Ordinary Shares in issue (the "Issued Ordinary Share Capital") with no shares held in treasury. This is the total number of voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
