Award of Options

Empyrean Energy plc ("Empyrean or Company"), the oil and gas development company with interests in China, Indonesia and the United States, advises that the Board has resolved to issue incentive options in respect of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence in the Company to the Company Secretary, Mr Jonathan Whyte, or his nominee ("the Incentive Options").

The Incentive Options have been granted as part of the Company's strategy to retain and incentivise directors and management of the Company. The Incentive Options will not vest to Mr Whyte for a period of 12 months from their issue date and will expire on 10 September 2023.

The exercise price of the Incentive Options is 7.5p each, which represents an approximate 54% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for the thirty days prior to the date of grant. 2,500,000 options currently held by Mr Whyte, expiring in January 2021, were cancelled in lieu of the award of the new Incentive Options.
