Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc
("Lansdowne" or the "Company")
WRAP Retail Offer for up to £190,000
Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc (AIM: LOGP) is pleased to announce a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £190,000 (the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of £0.0005 par value in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer up to 190,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 0.1 pence per share.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced on 30 April 2026, the Company is also proposing a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares" and together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") to raise £1.9m (before expenses) (the "Placing") at a price of 0.1 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The issue price of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Placing 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 to meet the Company's working capital requirements.
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 issue of the Retail Offer Shares is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of certain resolutions to be put to shareholders of Lansdowne Oil & Gas at the Annual General Meeting, which is expected to be held at Howard Kennedy LLP, 1 London Bridge, London, SE1 9BG at 11.00 a.m. on 26 May 2026 Admission of the Retail Offer Shares is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on or around 27 May 2026
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Placing are conditional on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 27 May 2026
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is appropriate to provide its 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 available to eligible investors in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement, being existing shareholders of Lansdowne Oil & Gas, and through certain financial intermediaries.
Existing shareholders can contact their broker or wealth manager to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 5.00 p.m. on 8 May 2026. Eligible shareholders should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier closing times.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of existing retail shareholders, should contact wrap@winterflood.com.
To be eligible to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be a customer of a participating intermediary and, prior to the release of this announcement, shareholders in the Company which may include 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 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 New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after their date of issue.
The Company has published an MTF admission prospectus in compliance with the requirements of the AIM Rules, and is issued in connection with the proposed admission of Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc to AIM ("Admission Prospectus"). The Admission Prospectus has not been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market and its contents have not been approved by the FCA. The Admission Prospectus will not be filed with or approved by the FCA or any other government or regulatory authority in the UK.
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 WRAP Retail Offer Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the WRAP Retail Offer 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.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Retail Offer Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Retail Offer Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Retail Offer Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Retail Offer Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Retail Offer Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels
