Retail Offer Priced at 0.01p Alongside £510,000 Placing and Subscription

The Issue Price of 0.01 pence per Retail Offer Share matches the price set in the separate placing and subscription announced on the same date, which is targeting approximately £510,000 before expenses. The announcement states that the Placing Price represents a premium of approximately 5.26 per cent to the mid-market closing price of an ordinary share on 11 November 2026. The Retail Offer is conditional on the completion of the placing and subscription, though the reverse does not apply. Both fundraises are also conditional on the new ordinary shares being admitted to trading on AIM, with Admission expected at 8.00am on or around 19 November 2026.

Free Warrants Attached to Each Retail Offer Share, Exercisable at 0.01p for Two Years

Each Retail Offer Share carries one free warrant, granted at no additional cost, entitling the holder to acquire one new ordinary share at 0.01 pence. The warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of grant and will be transferable, delivered in CREST by 15 December 2026. The announcement includes an accelerated exercise provision: if the five-day volume-weighted average price reaches or exceeds 0.02 pence on each of fifteen consecutive trading days, the Company may serve notice requiring exercise within 30 business days, at a price of 0.02 pence per share, after which unexercised warrants will lapse. The warrants will not be listed on AIM or any other exchange.

Minimum £100 Subscription Open to UK Retail Investors via Participating Intermediaries

The Retail Offer is open to both new and existing shareholders in the United Kingdom, with a minimum subscription of £100 per investor. Investors must participate through a broker, wealth manager, or investment platform that is signed up to WRAP. The offer opened on 12 November 2026 and closes at 4.30pm on 16 November 2026, with intermediaries potentially setting earlier deadlines. The announcement notes that the Company reserves the right to scale back or reject applications and that accepted applications cannot be withdrawn. Proceeds will be used in the same manner as those from the concurrent placing and subscription, the full details of which were set out in a separate announcement released on the same date.

Buccaneer's Dual-Asset Strategy Spans Texas Production and European Onshore Gas

Buccaneer Energy describes itself as an oil and gas company with producing assets in Texas that is simultaneously building a European onshore gas portfolio, reflecting a dual-geography growth model. The Company's nominated adviser and joint broker is Allenby Capital Limited, with the WRAP retail offer facilitated by Marex Financial, which has approved the announcement as a financial promotion under Section 21 of FSMA. The announcement cautions that an investment in the Company carries significant risk, including the possibility that investors may lose their entire investment, and that the warrants offer no guaranteed return and will expire if not exercised before the relevant deadline.
