News Release

Non-Executive Director/ PDMR Dealing and Conversion Notice

17 January 2023: Ncondezi Energy Limited ("Ncondezi" or the "Company") (AIM:NCCL) announces it has been notified that on 13 and 16 January 2023, Scott Fletcher, Non-Executive Director, purchased an aggregate of 7,256,555 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Shares") and after market close  on 16 January 2023 issued a conversion notice in relation to the proposed conversion of approximately £83,129 of outstanding convertible loan, together with interest, held by him into Shares.

Scott Fletcher's purchases were made in compliance with the Company's share dealing policy before the loan conversion notice from Sertitza Limited and Mike Haworth was received and after the announcement of the receipt of the conversion notices. Following these purchases, and before any further Shares are issued as part of the convertible loan conversion, Scott Fletcher's beneficial interest in Ordinary Shares in the Company is 105,015,575 Ordinary Shares, representing 21.4 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

Under the terms of the convertible loan, each of the convertible loan lenders has the right to convert the principal portion of their loan into Ncondezi Shares at a 25% discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") on the thirty days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice with a floor price of £0.005 per ordinary share, and the right to convert the interest thereon at a 30% premium to VWAP.

In addition, as announced on 16 January, Ncondezi has 15 business days to exercise its right to exclude up to 50% of the amount to be converted on condition that it is immediately redeemed in cash. The Company's independent director, Aman Sachdeva, is assessing the Company's options in respect to what is in the best interest of shareholders, particularly in regard to minimising shareholder dilution and taking into account conversion notices received from other convertible loan lenders as announced on 16 January 2023.

An update to shareholders will be provided within 15 business days of the original conversion notices confirming Ncondezi's position on exercising its repayment rights and the number of new shares to be issued to the convertible loan lenders and the timing of admission of those shares to trading on AIM.

Following today's announcement in combination with the Company's announcement on 16 January 2023, the convertible loan will be fully converted and/or repaid.
