Related Party Transactions

 

It is noted that Tulip currently holds approximately 23.0 per cent. of the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares, and accordingly the proposed issue of the Tulip Earn Out Shares detailed in Paragraph 13.1 of Part I of the Admission Document is considered a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent directors in the context of the issue of the Tulip Earn Out Shares, being all Directors save for Leo Koot, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, consider the terms of the Earn Out Consideration to be fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.

 

The issue of the Director Fee Shares detailed in Paragraph 13.3 of Part I of the Admission Document is considered a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent director, in the context of the issue of the Director Fee Shares, Ross Warner, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, considers the issue of the Director Fee Shares to be fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.

 

The Director Subscription by Mark Rollins and Leo Koot detailed in Paragraph 10.2 of Part I of the Admission Document is considered a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent directors in respect of the Director Subscription, Ross Warner and Stewart MacDonald, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, consider the terms of Director Subscription to be fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.

 

Admission and Total Voting Rights

 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the up to 106,278,360 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").  It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 6 March 2026.

 

In accordance with the provision of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA ('DTR'), the Company confirms that, following Admission, its issued share capital will comprise 124,790,040 Ordinary Shares. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 124,790,040. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the DTRs. The new Ordinary Shares will, following Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

 

Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Company's Admission Document which was published on 17 February 2026.

Stewart MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer of Beacon Energy, commented:

 

"The overwhelming support of our shareholders at the EGM is extremely encouraging and represents an important milestone in the process of rebuilding the Company undertaken over the last year.

 

The completion of a strategic investment in LNEnergy is transformative for Beacon, providing the Company with proven reserves, a pathway to production and an exciting pipeline of value catalysts over the next 18 months.

 

The Board considers the Colle Santo Asset to be commercially and economically attractive. On a 100 per cent. working interest basis, RPS calculated a post-tax NPV(10) for the Proved plus Probable (2P) reserves of €61.7 million and based on a 48% shareholding in LNEnergy (43.2 per cent. economic interest basis), a post-tax NPV(10) of €26.6 million.

 

We look forward to updating Shareholders and the market as we progress the Colle Santo project over the coming months."
