WRAP Retail Offer

Afentra plc ("Afentra" or the "Company") (AIM: AET), an upstream oil and gas company focused on acquiring production and development assets in Africa is pleased to announce a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £2 million (the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of £0.10 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer up to 2,985,074 new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 67 pence per share to eligible investors in the United Kingdom.

In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced on 3 June 2026, the Company has announced a placing (the "Placing") of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares" and, together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") to raise approximately US$40 million through a bookbuild process at a price of 67 pence per share (the "Issue Price"). The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 5.2 per cent. to the mid-market closing price of an Ordinary Share on 2 June 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the Placing announcement). The issue price of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Issue Price.

A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and its terms and sets out the reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds. The proceeds of the WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the Placing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the Placing. Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.

The WRAP Retail Offer and the Placing are conditional on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Company intends to convene a shareholder meeting, expected to be held on or around 25 June 2026, to approve the allotment of the Conditional Placing Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares. Afentra will publish a Notice of General Meeting, setting out the Resolutions requiring approval, on or around 9 June 2026. 

Settlement for, and Admission of, the Conditional Placing Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is expected to take place on or around 8.00 a.m. on 26 June 2026, subject to the Company's shareholders approving the allotment of the Conditional Placing Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis.  

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this Announcement have the meanings given in the Company's announcement dated 3 June 2026.

WRAP Retail Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is appropriate to provide both new and existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom the opportunity to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.

Therefore, the Company is making the WRAP Retail Offer open to eligible investors in the United Kingdom, being new or existing shareholders of Afentra, following release of this announcement and through certain financial intermediaries.

A number of retail platforms are able to access the WRAP Retail Offer. Non-holders or existing shareholders wishing to subscribe for WRAP Retail Offer Shares should contact their broker or wealth manager who will confirm if they are participating in the WRAP Retail Offer.

Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of eligible retail investors, should contact [e-mail].

The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 16:30 on 8 June 2026. Eligible retail investors should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier closing times. The result of the WRAP Retail Offer is expected to be announced by the Company on or around 9 June 2026.

To be eligible to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be a customer of a participating intermediary including individuals aged 18 years or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts, associations and other unincorporated organisations. 

There is a minimum subscription of £100 per investor under the WRAP Retail Offer. The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided by the relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee charges.

The Company reserves the right to amend the size and timings of the WRAP Retail Offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to scale back any order and to reject any application for subscription under the WRAP Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.

The WRAP Retail Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid, and have the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after their date of issue.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for Ordinary Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks, including the risk that investors may lose their entire investment. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get back less than the amount invested.

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.

The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under an exception from prohibitions on offers to the public pursuant to Schedule 1 (Part 1) of The Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 and under an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the FCA's Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook. The WRAP Retail Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (or any other authority) in relation to the WRAP Retail Offer, and investors' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this announcement and information that has been published by or on behalf of the Company prior to the date of this announcement by notification to a Regulatory Information Service in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation (EU Regulation No. 596/2014) ("MAR") and MAR as it forms part of United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended).
