Further to the Company's announcement on 13 March 2026, Reabold, the investing company focused on developing strategic gas projects for European energy security, is pleased to announce that it proposes to conditionally raise a minimum of £1.1 million (before fees and expenses) via a placing of (the "Placing") new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at a placing price of 0.1 pence per share (the "Issue Price").
In addition, and consistent with the terms of the conditional subscription with a group of US-based strategic investors announced on 13 March 2026 (the "Strategic Investment"), participants in the Placing will receive 1.25 warrants for each New Ordinary Share, each with a right to convert to one new Ordinary Share at an exercise price of 0.11 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Warrants"). The Warrants will be created pursuant to the Warrant Instrument dated 12 March 2026 and will be exercisable from the first business day following the date of Admission (as defined below) until 31 March 2029. Full details of the Warrant Instrument will be set out in the Circular to Shareholders referred to below. As previously announced, the Strategic Investment of £1.9 million is conditional on the Company raising a further £1.1 million prior to 12 May 2026.
Separately, the Company also intends to complete a subscription for New Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription" and, together with the Placing and Strategic Investment, the "Fundraise") at the Issue Price, which will also involve the participation of certain of the Company's directors who have indicated that they intend to subscribe for approximately £306,000 worth of New Ordinary Shares, in aggregate. Investors in the Subscription will also receive Warrants on the same terms as set out above. Further details of the Subscription will be announced in due course.
The net proceeds of the Fundraise will be used to progress the key West Newton project, including the funding of both Reabold and Rathlin's shares of the recompletion of the A-2 well, expected to take place in the coming months. The Warrant mechanism is intended to provide the Company with access to additional capital in the event of a successful A-2 recompletion and to enable it to move into early production as soon as possible.
The Placing will be conditional on obtaining approval of the Shareholders at a General Meeting of the Company. A Circular containing a notice of General Meeting will be published and notified to Shareholders in due course. The Circular and notice of General Meeting, once published, will be made available on the Company's website at https://reabold.com/.
The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild ("ABB") which will be launched immediately following this announcement ("Announcement"), in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Placing, the number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and the allocation of the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing are at the discretion of the Company and Cavendish Capital Markets Limited ("Cavendish") and a further announcement confirming these details is expected to be made in due course.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM, at 8.00 a.m. on 27 April 2026 ("Admission") on which date it is also expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be enabled for settlement in CREST.
The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the admission of those Ordinary Shares and will otherwise rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with each other and with the Company's existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such New Ordinary Shares after the date of their admission to trading on AIM.
Details of the Placing
Cavendish is acting as nominated adviser, broker and bookrunner in connection with the Placing. No part of the Placing is underwritten.
APPENDIX: TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Terms of the Placing
If a person chooses to participate in the Placing by making or accepting an offer to acquire Placing Shares (each such person whose participation is accepted by the Bookrunner in accordance with this appendix being hereinafter referred to as a "Placee" and together, as the "Placees") it will be deemed to represent and warrant that it has read and understood this announcement and this appendix in its entirety and to be making or accepting such offer on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings, contained in this appendix.
The price of securities and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount on disposal of the securities.
Any indication in this announcement of the price at which Ordinary Shares have been bought or sold in the past cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. No statement in this announcement is intended to be a profit forecast and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of the Company.
The Placing Shares will not be admitted to trading on any stock exchange other than the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustee) who have a contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy of this announcement should seek appropriate advice before taking any action.
Each Placee should consult with its own advisers as to legal, tax, business and related aspects of a purchase of Placing Shares.
Bookbuild
Following this announcement, the Bookrunner will commence a bookbuild process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. The book will open with immediate effect following release of this announcement.
To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at the Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which a prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Issue Price. The Bookrunner reserves the right not to accept bids or to accept bids in part rather than in whole.
The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 7.00 a.m. on 2 April 2026 but may be closed earlier or later, at the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner. The Bookrunner may, following consultation with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement of the Bookrunner) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its discretion.
The Bookrunner and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.
| 1. | The Bookrunner will arrange the Placing as agent for and on behalf of the Company. Participation will only be available to persons invited to participate by the Bookrunner. The Bookrunner will, following consultation with the Company, determine in their absolute discretion the extent of each Placee's participation in the Placing, which will not necessarily be the same for each Placee. |
| 2. | The price payable per new Ordinary Share shall be the Issue Price. |
| 3. | A Placee's commitment to subscribe for a fixed number of Placing Shares will be agreed with and confirmed to it orally by the Bookrunner and a contract note (a "Contract Note" ) will be despatched as soon as possible thereafter. The oral confirmation to the Placee by the Bookrunner constitutes an irrevocable, legally binding contractual commitment to the Bookrunner (as agent for the Company) to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it on the terms set out in this appendix. |
| 4. | Commissions will not be paid to Placees or by Placees in connection with the Placing. |
| 5. | The Bookrunner has the right to terminate the Placing Agreement at any time prior to Admission if, inter alia, in the opinion of the Bookrunner: (i) any statement contained in any document issued by the Company in connection with the Placing has become or been discovered to be untrue, incorrect or misleading in any material respect or there is a material mistake or inaccuracy in such document; (ii) there has been any material breach of the warranties contained in the Placing Agreement; (iii) a matter has arisen which gives rise to a claim under the indemnities given by the Company under the Placing Agreement; (iv) the Company has failed or will be unable to comply with any of its material obligations under the Placing Agreement; (v) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial position or prospects of the Company; or (vi) there occurs an event of force majeure. On the occurrence of any one or more of the above-mentioned circumstances, the Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement with immediate effect. If circumstances arise that would allow the Bookrunner to terminate the Placing Agreement, it may nevertheless determine to allow Admission to proceed. If the Placing Agreement is terminated prior to Admission, the Placing will lapse and the rights and obligations of the Placees hereunder shall cease and determine at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof. In such event, all monies (if any) paid by the Placees to the Bookrunner at such time shall be returned to the Placees at their sole risk without any obligation on the part of the Company or the Bookrunner or any of their respective affiliates to account to the Placees for any interest earned on such funds. The Placees acknowledge and agree that the Company and the Bookrunner may, at their sole discretion, exercise their contractual rights to waive or to extend the time and/or date for fulfilment of any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments. |
| 7. | Each Placee acknowledges to, and agrees with, the Bookrunner for itself and as agent for the Company, that except in relation to the information in this announcement, it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in deciding to participate in the Placing. |
| 8. | Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission will take place within CREST, using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. The Bookrunner reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not practicable in CREST within the timetable set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions of such Placees. |
| 9. | It is expected that settlement of the Placing will occur on 27 April 2026 on which date each Placee must settle the full amount owed by it in respect of the Placing Shares allocated to it. The Bookrunner may (after consultation with the Company) specify a later settlement date (or dates) at its absolute discretion. Payment must be made in cleared funds. The payment instructions for settlement in CREST and settlement outside of CREST will be notified to each Placee by the Bookrunner. The trade date of the Placing Shares is 23 April 2026 . Interest is chargeable daily on payments to the extent that value is received after the due date at the rate per annum of 2 percentage points above the Barclays Bank plc base rate. If a Placee does not comply with these obligations, the Bookrunner may sell the Placing Shares allocated to such Placee (as agent for such Placee) and retain from the proceeds, for its own account, an amount equal to the Issue Price plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable, inter alia, for any shortfall below the Issue Price and it may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing Shares on its behalf. Time shall be of the essence as regards the obligations of Placees to settle payment for the Placing Shares and to comply with their other obligations under this appendix. |
| 10. | If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent of a Placee, the relevant Placee should ensure that its Contract Note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are to be registered in the name of a Placee or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees should match the CREST details as soon as possible or if using a settlement agent they should instruct their agent to do so. Failure to do so could result in a CREST Settlement fine. Conditions of the Placing The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms. The Bookrunner's obligations under the Placing Agreement are conditional on, inter alia , the following: 1. the posting of the circular convening the General Meeting; 2. the passing of the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting; 3. the Placing Shares having been allotted, conditional only on Admission; 4. the warranties on the part of the Company in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading as of the date of the Placing Agreement, and immediately prior to Admission, as though they had been given and made on such dates by reference to the facts and circumstances then subsisting; 5. the Bookrunner not having terminated the Placing Agreement before Admission in accordance with its terms; and 6. Admission taking place by not later than 8.00 a.m. on 27 April 2026 or such later date as the Company and the Bookrunner may agree in writing but in any event not later than 8.00 a.m. on 11 May 2026 . If (a) any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, including those described above, in relation to the Placing are not fulfilled or waived by the Bookrunner by the respective time or date where specified (or such later time or date as the Company and the Bookrunner may agree); (b) any of such conditions becomes incapable of being fulfilled; or (c) the Placing Agreement is terminated, the Placing will not proceed and each Placee's rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by the Placee against any of the Company or the Bookrunner in respect thereof. The Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more conditions, save that certain conditions including the condition relating to Admission may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this announcement. Neither the Bookrunner, nor any of its affiliates, nor any of its or its affiliates' directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision it may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision it may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner. |
