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

Co-Investment Plan Awards

Longboat Energy announces conditional awards made under the Company's Co-Investment Plan (the "CIP" or "Plan") to PDMRs of the Company.

Following the purchase of ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the share capital of the Company ('Shares') by certain PDMR's announced earlier, 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 Shares in the Company (the "Nil Cost Options"):

 
                        Shares Acquired               Award 
                             Price/                                    Issued 
                              Share                                     Share 
 PDMR               Number             Value   Price   Plan Shares    Capital

The Plan allows employees to be granted matching share awards with a value equal to the market value of Shares purchased by the employees grossed up to reflect the pre-tax salary that each such eligible employee would have had to be paid to acquire such Investment Shares using their net income . The Company believes that awards under the Plan strengthen alignment between employees and shareholders through increased share ownership.

In order to avoid any potential windfall gain from the current low share price, a price of 75p/Share has been used to calculate the award being the share price of the last fund raising. The Matching Share Award ratio applied is circa 1.3 being less than the maximum permitted award ratio under the Rules being a ratio equivalent to the pre-tax amount invested.

The Nil Cost Options will only vest and become exercisable provided that the price of the S hares has increased from the base price of 75pence/Share by an amount equal to or greater than 60% between the date of the Award and 10 February 2025 (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.

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.
