  POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE 
  TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED: 
 Longboat Energy was established in mid-2019 by the former Faroe 
  Petroleum management team to create a new mid cap independent 
  oil and gas company. The Company is currently an "investing 
  company" for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies. The 
  Company's ordinary shares were admitted to trading on AIM on 
  28 November 2019. The investment objective of Longboat Energy 
  is to create a full-cycle North Sea E&P company in order to 
  deliver value to investors. 
 
  Longboat has secured three bilateral transactions to acquire 
  a significant, near term, low risk exploration drilling programme 
  in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. These agreements will provide 
  Longboat Energy with a working interest in up to seven near 
  term exploration wells. 
 
  The farm-in agreements will constitute a reverse takeover for 
  the purpose of Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Following completion 
  of the farm-in agreements and subsequent re-admission to AIM, 
  the Company will no longer be deemed to be an investing company.
