Serica Energy plc
("Serica Energy" or the "Company")
Admission to trading on the Main Market, AIM cancellation and Change of TIDM
Further to its announcement on 21 October 2026, Serica Energy is pleased to announce that the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") are expected to be admitted to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's ("LSE") main market for listed securities ("Main Market") (together, "Admission") at 8:00am today and simultaneously cancelled from trading on AIM, a market operated by the LSE.
The Company is not offering any new Ordinary Shares nor any other securities in connection with Admission. Following Admission, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered under their existing ISIN, GB00B0CY5V57, but will trade under a new TIDM, changing from SQZ to SER.
On Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 393,568,407 Ordinary Shares of $0.10 each. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, and therefore at Admission the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 393,568,407. 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The Company's shareholders should consult their own professional advisers regarding the consequences of Admission on their personal tax position.

About Serica Energy Plc
Serica Energy is an independent British oil and gas company with a broad portfolio of assets located in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). The Company operates assets that deliver around 10% of the UK's gas production, a key component of the UK energy system, and has invested over £1 billion in the UK supply chain since 2020. Serica maintains a broadly balanced output of oil and gas across its operations.
The Company's key producing assets are grouped around two major hubs: the Bruce, Keith, and Rhum fields in the Northern North Sea, where Serica is the operator; and a mix of operated and non-operated fields connected to the Triton FPSO in the Central North Sea. The Company also holds a significant position in the Southern North Sea, including a 15% stake in the Cygnus field and 25% in Clipper South, and a notable position West of Shetland, including a 40% operated stake in the Greater Laggan Area offshore fields and associated Shetland Gas Plant.
Serica aims to create shareholder value through a mix of production from existing oil and gas fields, organic investment and M&A.
From Admission, Serica's Ordinary Shares will trade on the Main Market of the LSE (ticker: SER). More information about Serica is available on the Company's website (www.serica-energy.com). To receive news updates by email, interested parties can subscribe through the website.
