CAPRICORN ENERGY PLC ("Capricorn" or "the Company")

Interests of Directors / Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs")

in the Company's Shares

1. Purchase of Dividend Shares under the Company's 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP" or the "Plan")

Following the payment of the special dividend that was approved at the Company's general meeting held on 5 October 2023 (the "Special Dividend"), Capricorn announces that on 27 October 2023, the trustee of the Company's HMRC approved all-employee SIP purchased ordinary shares of (735) /(143) pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in the market at a price of GBP1.6495 per Ordinary Share on behalf of those participants in the SIP who had elected to reinvest in further shares the Special Dividend payable on their holdings under the Plan.

As explained in the circular to shareholders dated 15 September 2023, any Ordinary Shares purchased in the above manner are classed as "Dividend Shares" for the purposes of the SIP and are subject to a mandatory three-year holding period during which they cannot normally be sold or otherwise withdrawn from the Plan. Any SIP participant who did not elect to reinvest in Dividend Shares received their Special Dividend in cash.

Details of the Executive Directors and PDMRs who elected to reinvest the Special Dividend payable on their holdings in the SIP are as follows:
