Mendell Helium plc
("Mendell Helium" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity & Warrants
Mendell Helium announces that it has issued 667,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 3 pence per share (the "Shares") and 500,000 warrants over new ordinary shares with an exercise price of 3 pence per share exercisable for a period of two years from Admission (as defined below), in lieu of certain accrued liabilities owed by the Company.
Admission
Application has been made for the Shares to be admitted to trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange AQSE Growth Market ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8:00 am on or around 15 October 2024.
Total voting rights
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged share capital will comprise 43,885,160 ordinary shares of 1 pence each. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 43,885,160. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in the Company, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
As announced on 27 June 2024, the Company has an option to acquire M3 Helium Corp., a producer of helium based in Kansas and with an interest in six wells. There is no certainty that the Company's option to acquire M3 Helium will be exercised, nor that the enlarged group will successfully complete its re-admission to trading on the AQSE Growth Market.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of the UK Market Abuse Regulation and the Directors of the Company are responsible for the release of this announcement.

Overview of M3 Helium and the Hugoton North Play
Mendell Helium, formerly Voyager Life plc, announced on 27 June 2024 that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of M3 Helium through the issue of 57,611,552 new ordinary shares in Mendell Helium to M3 Helium's shareholders. The exercise of the option will constitute a reverse takeover pursuant to AQSE Rule 3.6 of the Access Rule Book and is subject to, inter alia, publication of an admission document.
M3 Helium has interests in six wells in South-Western Kansas of which three (Peyton, Smith and Nilson) are in production. Five of the company's wells are within the Hugoton gas field, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America. Significantly these wells are in the proximity of a gathering network and the Jayhawk gas processing plant meaning that producing wells can quickly be tied into the infrastructure.
The sixth well is in Fort Dodge and was tested in July 2024 as containing 5.1% helium composition. Although not within direct access to the gathering network, M3 Helium owns a mobile Pressure Swing Adsorption production plant which could be used to purify the helium on site.
