Danube - Parta Licence Update
Reabold Resources notes an update regarding the Parta exploration licence in Romania, where it holds an indirect interest through its 50.8% shareholding in Danube Petroleum. Due to regulatory constraints, delays, and access restrictions, Panonia, operated by ADX Energy, was unable to complete the work plan. The Regulatory Authority has stated that exploration phase 1 has expired and issued invoices to Panonia totaling EUR 4.2 million for alleged expenditures related to unperformed exploration commitments. ADX, on behalf of Panonia, will formally dispute these invoices, citing significant costs incurred to address unforeseen challenges and the inability to benefit from potential discoveries due to regulatory issues.

Reabold Resources plc, the investing company focussed on developing strategic gas projects for European energy security, notes the announcement today by ADX Energy Ltd ("ADX") regarding the Parta exploration licence ("Parta") in Romania, in which Reabold has an indirect interest through its 50.8% shareholding in Danube Petroleum Limited ("Danube"). ADX holds the remaining 49.2% shareholding in Danube via its wholly owned subsidiary ADX Energy Panonia SRL ("Panonia"), and is the operator of Parta.
Panonia has been unable to perform the work plan in Parta due to regulatory constraints, delays and operational access restrictions. ADX was reluctant to enter into exploration phase 2, with additional significant commitments, due to the inability to perform the phase 1 program despite its reasonable efforts. As a result ADX has been in discussions with the Romanian Regulatory Authorities regarding an extension of the Parta licence. Despite repeated requests, the Regulatory Authority has advised that the exploration phase 1 of the licence has expired. Additionally, the Regulatory Authority has issued Panonia with invoices totalling EUR 4.2 million relating to alleged expenditures relating to the unperformed exploration commitments applicable to Parta.
ADX, on behalf of Panonia, will formally dispute these invoices on the basis of having incurred significant costs to address the unforeseen challenges attributable to the work program, as well as due to the regulatory delays and access restrictions which have prevented Panonia from entirely fulfilling the work program, and denied Panonia the ability to benefit from the potential upside from making a discovery.
