Notification of Transaction by Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR")

Co-Investment Plan Awards

Longboat Energy, established by the former management team of Faroe Petroleum plc to build a significant North Sea-focused E&P business, announces conditional awards made under the Company's Co-Investment Plan (the "CIP" or "Plan") to PDMRs of the Company.

The Plan

The Plan allows employees to be granted matching share awards with a value equal to the market value of shares purchased by the employees up to a maximum of 50% of their pre-tax base salary. The Company believes that awards under the Plan will strengthen alignment between employees and shareholders through increased share ownership. The terms of the Plan were summarised in the Notice of AGM dated 1 June 2021

The Company may issue 15% of its share capital within a ten-year period to satisfy awards to participants in the Plan, the Founders Incentive Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan and any other share plan operated by the Company under which shares are issued.

Conditional Awards

The Company's Remuneration Committee, which is made up exclusively of Non-Executive Directors, has made a conditional award under the Plan to the following PDMRs (the "Awards") in the form of options to acquire ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company (the "Nil Cost Options"):

The Awards are conditional upon the completion of the Farm-ins and associated reverse take-over ("RTO"), as approved by shareholders at the General Meeting of 28 June 2021. In the event that the RTO does not occur, the Awards shall lapse.

Performance Conditions and Vesting

The Nil Cost Options will only vest and become exercisable provided that the price of the ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company Shares has increased by an amount equal to or greater than 30% between the date of the Award and 2(nd) July 2024 (the "Vesting Date"). If the performance condition is not met on the Vesting Date the Nil Cost Options will lapse in full on that date.

Any Nil Cost options that vest shall be subject to a further two-year holding period.
