   Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd 
 
   Proposed Placing 
 
   Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd ("Falcon" or the "Company") (AIM: FOG, Euronext 
Growth: FAC, TSXV: FO.V), the international oil and gas company engaged 
in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas assets, 
is pleased to announce a proposed placing of new Common Shares of the 
Company (the "Placing Shares")  at a price of 14p per Placing Share (the 
"Placing Price") in order to raise gross proceeds of up to US$10 million 
(c.GBP7.76 million) (the "Placing") by way of a conditional placing of 
the Placing Shares with institutional investors. 
 
   The net proceeds of the Placing will primarily be used to fund Falcon's 
share of estimated capital expenditure in respect of the drilling and 
hydraulic fracture stimulation of four horizontal wells in the Beetaloo 
Sub-basin, Australia (further details of which are provided below). 
 
   The Placing is being conducted through a bookbuilding process (the 
"Bookbuild") which is being managed by J&E Davy ("Davy"), RBC Capital 
Markets ("RBC") and Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos" and together with 
Davy and RBC, the "Joint Bookrunners") and will open immediately 
following the release of this Announcement and will be made available to 
eligible institutional investors. Davy is also acting as nominated 
adviser (for the purpose of the AIM Rules for Companies) and Euronext 
Growth advisor (for the purpose of the Euronext Growth Rules) to the 
Company in connection with the Placing. 
 
   Company Background 
 
   Falcon is an international oil and gas company focused on the 
exploration and appraisal of unconventional oil and gas assets. Its 
corporate strategy is to explore unconventional oil and gas basins; 
following successful exploration, continue with appraisal programs to 
determine commercialisation options; and subsequently monetise assets 
prior to production. 
 
   Falcon Australia owns 30% of three exploration permits in the Beetaloo 
Sub-basin, located in the Northern Territory of Australia (the 
"Beetaloo") being EP76, EP98, EP117 (the "Beetaloo Exploration Permits") 
which represent total gross acreage of 4.6 million, or 1.4 million acres 
net to Falcon Australia's 30% participating interest. In 2014, Falcon 
Australia farmed-out 35% of its participating interest in the Beetaloo 
Exploration Permits to a subsidiary of Origin Energy Limited, and 35% of 
its interest in the Beetaloo Exploration Permits to Sasol Petroleum 
Australia Limited ("Sasol"), a subsidiary of Sasol Limited, pursuant to 
the terms of a farm out agreement ("Farm-out Agreement"), in a deal 
worth A$200 million (c.US$143 million). Following certain further 
transfers of interest, Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd. ("Origin") now holds a 
70% participating interest in, and is the operator of, the Beetaloo 
Exploration Permits (the "Operator") under a joint venture with Falcon 
Australia, which holds the remaining 30% participating interest 
(together, the "JV"). 
 
   To date, the JV has drilled four wells under the stage 1 work program 
set out in the Farm-out Agreement ("Stage 1"), which resulted in the 
discovery of 6.6 TCF of 2C gross contingent resource estimate (1.94 TCF 
net to Falcon). A 57 day extended well test resulted in cumulative 
production of 63 MMscf and variable gas rates ranged between 0.8-1.2 
MMscf/d. 
 
   The JV has agreed to evaluate the potential of the liquids-rich gas 
fairways in both the Kyalla and the Velkerri shale plays as part of the 
stage 2 work program set out in the Farm-out Agreement ("Stage 2"). 
Exploration and appraisal activities targeted to commence in mid-2019 
under Stage 2 include the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of 
two horizontal wells: 
 
 
   1. Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas play -- one of the identified 
      three source rock and two hybrid target intervals in the Kyalla formation, 
      with estimated liquid yields in the range of 15-60 bbl/MMscf. The Kyalla 
      formation prospective areas, which are confined to the Beetaloo 
      Exploration Permits, are expected to have a cost advantage over the 
      Velkerri formation prospective areas given they are shallower and are 
      likely to contain liquids rich gas that could also improve expected 
      economics. 
 
   2. Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play -- a liquids rich gas play fairway 
      along the northern and south-eastern flanks of the Beetaloo Exploration 
      Permits, at 1,200-2,000mTVD, with regional gas composition and maturity 
      data indicating condensate to gas ratio at an estimated 5-40 bbl/MMscf. 
      Indications are that porosity and permeability are higher in these areas 
      and there is an increased potential for a stacked liquids rich target. 
 
 
   Exploration and appraisal activities targeted to commence in 2020 under 
the stage 3 work program under the Farm-out Agreement ("Stage 3") 
include the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of a further two 
horizontal wells targeting one or more of the three plays: 
 
 
   1. Velkerri B shale gas play 
 
   2. Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas plays 
 
   3. Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play 
 
 
   Reasons for the Placing 
 
   The estimated gross capex for Stage 2 and Stage 3 is c.US$130 million. 
Under the terms of the Farm-out Agreement, Falcon Australia is carried 
for up to c.A$113 million (US$80 million) for the costs of Stage 2 and 
Stage 3, equating to c.US$24 million net benefit to Falcon, with 
Falcon's net cash contribution estimated at US$15 million, before 
contingency. 
 
   Falcon's net cash contribution to the first c.US$100 million of gross 
capex for Stage 2 and Stage 3 is estimated at c.US$5.5 million, before 
contingency.  The Company will use the net proceeds of the Placing, 
together with its existing cash resources of c.US$6 million, principally 
to fund its net contribution to estimated capex under Stage 2 and Stage 
3 and G&A expenses. 
 
   Details of the Placing 
 
   The Placing will be managed on the Company's behalf by the Joint 
Bookrunners in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in 
Appendix to this Announcement. The Placing is not being underwritten by 
the Joint Bookrunners. The Company reserves the right to issue and sell 
a lesser number of Common Shares through the Placing and to settle 
certain of the Placing Shares by way of a direct subscription with the 
Company. The Placing will be conducted in accordance with the terms and

for participation in the Placing, will commence with immediate effect 
following the release of this Announcement and is expected to close no

closing of the Bookbuild is at the absolute discretion of the Joint 
Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to 
close the Bookbuild earlier or later, without further notice. 
 
   The number of Placing Shares and allocations will be determined by the 
Company and Joint Bookrunners following the close of the Bookbuild.  The 
Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will 
rank equally in all respects with the existing Common Shares, including 
the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, 
made or paid in respect of such Common Shares after the date of issue of 
the Placing Shares. 
 
   As detailed in the Appendix, the Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, 
Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement not being 
terminated prior to Admission. 
 
   It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in 
the Placing Shares will commence on 22 May 2019.

   The distribution of the Announcement and the offering of the Placing

or regulation. Persons distributing the Announcement must satisfy

restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any 
such jurisdiction. No action has been taken by the Company or any of the 
Joint Bookrunners or any of their respective affiliates, agents,

   Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained 
within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, 
as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated 
Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local 
implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance 
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising 
in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the 
purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise 
have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a 
product approval process, which has determined that such securities are: 
(i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and 
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible 
counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for 
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID 
II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market 
Assessment, Placees should note that: the price of the Placing Shares 
may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; 
the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; 
and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with 
investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who 
(either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other 
adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an 
investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any 
losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is 
without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or 
regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing Shares. 
Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market 
Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet 
the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. 
 
   For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not 
constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the 
purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group 
of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action 
whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares. 
 
   Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market 
Assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate 
distribution channels. 
 
   The Announcement contains (or may contain) certain forward-looking 
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward looking 
statements include statements relating to the following: (i) future 
capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic 
performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses 
and future prospects; and (ii) business and management strategies and 
the expansion and growth of the Company's operations. These statements, 
which sometimes use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "intend", 
"estimate", "expect", "will", "may", "should", "plan", "target", "aim" 
and words of similar meaning or similar expressions or negatives 
therefor, reflect the Directors' beliefs and expectations and involve a 
number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual 
results and performance to differ materially from any expected future 
results or performance expressed or implied by any such forward-looking 
statement.  Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that 
are beyond the Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such 
as (i) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (ii) currency 
fluctuations; (iii) drilling and production results; (iv) reserves 
estimates; (v) loss of market share and industry competition; (vi) 
environmental and physical risks; (vii) risks associated with the 
identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, 
and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (viii) 
legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory 
measures addressing climate change; (ix) economic and financial market 
conditions in various countries and regions; (x) political risks, 
including the risks of renegotiation of the terms of contracts with 
governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of 
projects and delays in the reimbursement of shared costs; (xi) drilling 
wells is speculative, often involving significant costs that may be more 
than estimated and may not result in discoveries and (xii) changes in 
trading conditions.  The Company cannot give any assurance that such 
forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct.  Statements 
contained in the Announcement regarding past trends or activities should 
not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will 
continue in the future. The information contained in the Announcement is

law, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company assumes any 
responsibility or obligation to update publicly or review any of the 
forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new 
information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue 
reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date 
of the Announcement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a 
forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of 
the Company or any other person following the implementation of the 
Placing or otherwise. 
 
   The price of Common Shares and the income from them may go down as well 
as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested on 
disposal of the Common Shares. Past performance is no guide to future 
performance and persons who require advice should consult an independent 
financial adviser.

   Details of the Placing 
 
   The Joint Bookrunners will commence the Bookbuild in respect of the 
Placing. The book will open with immediate effect following the release 
of this Announcement.  The Joint Bookrunners have entered into an 
agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, 
subject to the terms and conditions set out in that agreement, each 
Joint Bookrunners has agreed severally to use its reasonable endeavours 
to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price. 
 
   The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, Admission 
becoming effective and the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in 
all respects and not being terminated in accordance with its terms. 
 
   The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the articles of 
association of the Company and credited as full paid and will rank pari 
passu in all respects with the existing issued Common Shares, including 
the right to receive dividends and other distributions declared, made or 
paid in respect of such Common Shares after the date of issues of the 
Placing Shares. 
 
   Application for Admission to trading 
 
   Application will be made to: 
 
 
   1. the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading 
      on AIM; 
 
   2. Euronext Dublin for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on 
      Euronext Growth; and 
 
   3. TSX Venture Exchange for listing of the Placing Shares for trading on TSX 
      Venture Exchange Market, 
 
 
   in relation to Admission. 
 
   Subject to, amongst other things, the Placing Agreement becoming 
unconditional and not being terminated in accordance with its terms, it 
is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in 
the Placing Shares will commence on AIM and Euronext Growth at 8.00 a.m. 
on 22 May 2019. The Placing Shares will not trade on the TSX Venture 
Exchange until the date that is four months and a day after the day of 
issuance. 
 
   Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing 
 
 
   1. The Joint Bookrunners are arranging the Placing severally and not jointly 
      or jointly and severally as agents for and on behalf of the Company. 
 
   2. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may 
      lawfully be, and are, invited by any of the Joint Bookrunners to 
      participate.  Each of the Joint Bookrunners and any of their respective 
      affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild. 
 
   3. The Bookbuild will establish the number of Placing Shares to be issued by 
      the Company at the Placing Price, which will be payable by all Placees 
      whose bids are successful. The number of Placing Shares to be issued will 
      be announced through the Placing Results Announcement following the 
      completion of the Bookbuild. 
 
   4. To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by 
      telephone to their usual sales contact at the relevant Joint Bookrunner. 
      Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective 
      Placee wishes to acquire at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by 
      the Joint Bookrunnners on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below. 
 
   5. The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 18.30 p.m UK time on 17 
      May 2019 but may close earlier or later at the discretion of the Joint 
      Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, 
      accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed. 
 
   6. Each Placee's allocation will be determined by the Joint Bookrunners in 
      their discretion following consultation with the Company and will be 
      confirmed orally by the relevant Joint Bookrunner as soon as practicable 
      following the close of the Bookbuild. Each Placee's allocation and 
      commitment will be evidenced by a form of confirmation issued to such 
      Placee by the relevant Joint Bookrunner ("Confirmation"). The terms of 
      this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that Confirmation. 
 
   7. Such Confirmation will constitute an irrevocable legally binding 
      commitment by that person (who will at that point become a Placee) in 
      favour of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company to subscribe for the 
      number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the 
      terms and conditions set out in this Appendix (a copy of the terms and 
      conditions having been provided to the Placee prior to or at the same 
      time as such Confirmation) and in accordance with the Company's articles 
      of association. Except with the Joint Bookrunners' written consent, such 
      commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation at the time at 
      which it is submitted. For the avoidance of doubt, the Confirmation 
      constitutes each Placee's irrevocable legally binding agreement, subject 
      to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated, to pay the aggregate 
      settlement amount for the Placing Shares to be subscribed for by that 
      Placee regardless of the total number of Placing Shares (if any) 
      subscribed for by any other investor(s). 
 
   8. The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the 
      close of the Bookbuild, detailing the aggregate number of Placing Shares 
      to be issued. 
 
   9. The Joint Bookrunners may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in 
      part, on the basis of allocations determined at the Joint Bookrunners' 
      discretion (after consultation with the Company) and may scale down any 
      bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine or be directed. 
      The Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 5 to 8 above, 
      (a) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to 
      any person submitting a bid after that time and (b) allocate Placing 
      Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid 
      after that time. 
 
  10. Each Placee's obligation to acquire and pay for Placing Shares under the 
      Placing will be owed to the Joint Bookrunners and the Company. Each 
      Placee has an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, 
      owed to the Joint Bookrunners, to pay to the relevant Bookrunner (or as 
      it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the Placing Price for 
      each Placing Share it has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to 
      allot and issue to the Placee under the Placing. 
 
  11. Each Placee will be deemed to have read and understood this Appendix in 
      its entirety, to be participating in the Placing upon the terms and 
      conditions contained in this Appendix, and to be providing the 
      representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and 
      undertakings, in each case as contained in this Appendix. 
 
  12. To the fullest extent permitted by law and applicable FCA rules (the "FCA 
      Rules") and CBI rules, none of (i) the Joint Bookrunners, (ii) any of 
      their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, affiliates, 
      agents, or (iii) to the extent not contained within (i) or (ii), any 
      person connected with the Joint Bookrunners as defined in FSMA ((i), (ii) 
      and (iii) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate"), 
      (iv) any person acting on any of the Joint Bookrunners' behalf, shall 
      have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any 
      fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any person other than the Company in 
      respect of the Placing. In particular, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor 
      any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including, 
      to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of 
      their conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of effecting 
      the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree. 
 
  13. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant in 
      the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be 
      acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same 
      time, on the basis explained below under 'Registration and Settlement'. 
 
  14. All obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing will be 
      subject to the fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under 
      'Conditions of the Placing' and to the Placing Agreement not being 
      terminated on the basis referred to below under 'Termination of the 
      Placing Agreement'. In the event that the Placing Agreement does not 
      otherwise become unconditional in any respect or is terminated, the 
      Placing will not proceed and all funds delivered by the Placee to the 
      Joint Bookrunners (or any one of them) in respect of the Placee's 
      participation will be returned to the Placee at the Placee's risk without 
      interest. 
 
  15. By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and 
      obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the 
      circumstances described below and will not otherwise be capable of 
      rescission or termination by the Placee. 
 
  16. By participating in the Placing, each Placee is deemed to have read and 
      understood this Announcement, including this Appendix, in its entirety 
      and to be making such offer on the terms and conditions, and to be 
      providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, and 
      undertakings contained in this Appendix. 
 
 
   Conditions of the Placing 
 
   The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming 
unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its 
terms. 
 
   The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement in

      Information Service no later than 6.30 p.m. on 17 May 2019 (or such later 
      time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree); 
 
   4. none of the representations, warranties or undertakings on the part of 
      the Company contained in the Placing Agreement being or having become

      which would constitute a breach of any of the representations, warranties 
      or undertakings under the Placing Agreement; and 
 
   5. from the date of this Agreement to immediately prior to Admission, there 
      not having occurred, in the Joint Bookrunners opinion (acting in good

obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and 
terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made 
by the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in 
respect thereof. 
 
   By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and 
obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described 
above and under "Termination of the Placing Agreement" below and will 
not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the issue by the 
relevant Joint Bookrunner of a Confirmation to such Placee. 
 
   Each of the Joint Bookrunners, in their respective absolute discretion, 
may waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of 
the Company's obligations in relation to the Conditions and the Joint 
Bookrunners may also agree in writing with the Company to extend the 
time for satisfaction of any Condition. Any such extension or waiver 
will not affect Placees' commitments or obligations as set out in this 
Announcement. 
 
   The Joint Bookrunners may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain 
circumstances, details of which are set out below. 
 
   None of the Joint Bookrunners, the Company nor any of their respective 
affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any 
liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf 
of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to 
whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or the date for the 
satisfaction of any Condition nor for any decision they may make as to 
the satisfaction of any Condition or in respect of the Placing generally, 
and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such 
decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. 
 
   Termination of the Placing Agreement 
 
   Any of the Joint Bookrunners is entitled at any time before Admission, 
to terminate the Placing Agreement in relation to its obligations in 
respect of the Placing Shares by giving notice to the Company if, 
amongst other things: 
 
 
   1. the Company fails to comply with any of its undertakings, covenants or 
      obligations under the Placing Agreement which the Joint Bookrunners 
      consider, in their sole judgement (acting in good faith) to be (singly or 
      in aggregate) material in the context of the Placing; or 
 
   2. any of the representations or warranties given by the Company in the 
      Placing Agreement is or becomes untrue, inaccurate or misleading; or 
 
   3. any statement contained in certain placing documents has become, or an 
      omission in such placing documents, results in them being untrue, 
      inaccurate in any material respect in the context of the Placing or 
      misleading; or 
 
   4. there has occurred a force majeure event, or any material adverse change 
      has occurred in the financial position or prospects or business of the 
      Company or the Group which, in the opinion of the Joint Bookrunner, in 
      their sole judgement (acting in good faith), to be (singly or in 
      aggregate) is material in the context of the Company, the Group taken as 
      a whole, the Placing or Admission. 
 
 
   Upon such termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be 
released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in 
relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or 
pursuant to the Placing Agreement subject to certain exceptions. If the 
Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights 
and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in 
this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim 
can be made by any Placee in respect thereof. 
 
   By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and 
the Joint Bookrunners that the exercise by the Joint Bookrunners of any 
right of termination, waiver or other condition or decision to extend or 
not the time for satisfaction of any Condition or any other right or 
other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the 
absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and that neither the 
Company nor the Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to such Placee 
and that neither the Joint Bookrunners or the Company nor any of their 
respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees, shall 
have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting 
on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any 
such exercise or failure so to exercise. 
 
   No prospectus 
 
   No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will 
be submitted to be approved by the FCA, CBI or submitted to the London 
Stock Exchange, Euronext Dublin or TSX Venture Exchange in relation to 
the Placing or the Placing Shares and Placees' commitments will be made 
solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement 
and any information publicly announced through a Regulatory Information 
Service by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of this 
Announcement (the "Publicly Available Information") and subject to any 
further terms set forth in the Confirmation to be sent to individual 
Placees. 
 
   Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that 
the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of 
the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any 
other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on 
behalf of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners or any other person and 
none of the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company nor any other person 
acting on such person's behalf nor any of their respective affiliates, 
agents, directors, officers or employees has or shall have any liability 
for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing and/or Bookbuild 
based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement 
which the Placees may have obtained or received. Each Placee 
acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of 
the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a 
participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall operate to 
limit or exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent 
misrepresentation. 
 
   Registration and Settlement 
 
   Participation in the Bookbuild is only available to persons who are 
invited to participate in it by the Joint Bookrunners (or any one of 
them). 
 
   Each Placee's commitment to acquire a fixed number of Placing Shares 
under the Placing will be agreed orally or in writing or via email with 
the Joint Bookrunners, and such agreement will constitute a legally 
binding commitment on such Placee's part to acquire such number of 
Placing Shares at the Placing Price subject to the terms and conditions 
set out in this Announcement and the Company's articles of association. 
 
   If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be 
sent a form of confirmation or electronic confirmation by the relevant 
Joint Bookrunner, as soon as it is able which will confirm the number of 
Placing Shares allocated to them, the Placing Price and the aggregate 
amount owed by them to the relevant Joint Bookrunner(s). 
 
   Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary 
to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the 
relevant Joint Bookrunner in accordance with either the standing CREST 
or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with 
the relevant Joint Bookrunner. 
 
   Settlement of transactions in depository interests representing the 
Placing Shares following Admission will take place within the system 
administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST"), subject to 
certain exceptions. Settlement of depository interests representing the 
Placing Shares through CREST is expected to take place on 22 May 2019 
unless otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners and Admission is 
expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 30 May 2019 unless 
otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners. Admission and Settlement 
may occur at an earlier date, which if achievable, will be notified 
through a Regulatory Information Service. Settlement will be on a 
delivery versus payment basis.  However, in the event of any 
difficulties or delays in the admission of depository interests 
representing Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to 
the Placing, the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree that the 
Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form.  The Joint 
Bookrunners reserve the right to require settlement for the Placing 
Shares (or a portion thereof), and to deliver the Placing Shares to 
Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or 
settlement of depository interests representing Placing Shares to 
Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be 
consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction. 
 
   Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on 
the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the 
rate of two percentage points above LIBOR as determined by the Joint 
Bookrunners. 
 
   Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these 
obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing 
Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from 
the proceeds, for the Joint Bookrunner's own account and benefit, an 
amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any 
interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any 
shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to 
bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any 
interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing 
Shares on such Placee's behalf. 
 
   If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, 
Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional form of 
confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person 
within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a 
Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for 
whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such 
person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so 
registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp 
duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or 
commission in connection with the Placing. 
 
   Representations and warranties 
 
   By submitting a bid in the Bookbuild, each prospective Placee (and any 
person acting on such Placee's behalf) acknowledges, undertakes, 
represents, warrants and agrees (for itself and for any such prospective 
Placee) that (save where the Joint Bookrunners expressly agree in

      out of or in connection with such agreements shall be governed by and 
      construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and it submits 
      (on behalf of itself and on behalf of any person on whose behalf it is 
      acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards 
      any claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except 
      that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment 
      for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) 
      may be taken by the Company and/or the Joint Bookrunners in any 
      jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any 
      of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange; 
 
  28. the Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, 
      officers, employees and any person acting on their behalf will rely upon 
      the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties and 
      acknowledgements set forth herein and which are irrevocable and it 
      irrevocably authorises the Joint Bookrunners to produce this Announcement, 
      pursuant to, in connection with, or as may be required by any applicable 
      law or regulation, administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry 
      with respect to the matters set forth herein; 
 
  29. to indemnify on an after tax basis and hold the Company, the Joint 
      Bookrunners and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, 
      employees and any person acting on their behalf harmless from any and all 
      costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and 
      expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the 
      representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and 
      undertakings in this Appendix and further agrees that the provisions of 
      this Appendix shall survive after completion of the Placing; 
 
  30. it is acting as principal only in respect of the Placing or, if it is 
      acting for any other person, (a) it is duly authorised to do so and has 
      full power to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements 
      herein on behalf of each such person and (b) it is and will remain liable 
      to the Company and the Joint Bookrunners for the performance of all its 
      obligations as a Placee in respect of the Placing (regardless of the fact 
      that it is acting for another person); 
 
  31. its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out 
      herein and the Confirmation will continue notwithstanding any amendment 
      that may in future be made to the terms of the Placing and that Placees 
      will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be 
      obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing. The 
      foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are given for the 
      benefit of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners. The agreement to settle 
      a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom 
      such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty 
      reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to the subscription 
      by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares 
      in question. Such agreement assumes, and is based on a warranty from 
      each Placee, that neither it, nor the person specified by it for 
      registration as holder, of Placing Shares is, or is acting as nominee or 
      agent for, and that the Placing Shares will not be allotted to, a person 
      who is or may be liable to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax under any 
      of sections 67, 70, 93 and 96 of the Finance Act 1986 (depositary 
      receipts and clearance services). If there are any such arrangements, or 
      the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp 
      duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event the Placee 
      agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty 
      reserve tax, and none of the Company or the Joint Bookrunners shall be 
      responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the 
      case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify the Joint 
      Bookrunners accordingly; 
 
  32. no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company or the Joint 
      Bookrunners or any person acting on behalf of the Company or the Joint 
      Bookrunners that would, or is intended to, permit a public offer of the 
      Placing Shares in any country or jurisdiction where any such action for 
      that purpose is required; 
 
  33. in making any decision to subscribe for the Placing Shares, it has 
      knowledge and experience in financial, business and international 
      investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of 
      subscribing for the Placing Shares. It further confirms that it is 
      experienced in investing in securities of this nature in this sector and 
      is aware that it may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the 
      economic risk of, and is able to sustain a complete loss in connection 
      with the Placing. It further confirms that it relied on its own 
      examination and due diligence of the Company and its associates taken as 
      a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the merits and risks 
      involved; 
 
  34. it has (a) made its own assessment and satisfied itself concerning legal, 
      regulatory, tax, business and financial considerations in connection 
      herewith to the extent it deems necessary; (b) had access to review 
      Publicly Available Information concerning the Company that it considers 
      necessary or appropriate and sufficient in making an investment decision; 
      (c) reviewed such information as it believes is necessary or appropriate 
      in connection with its subscription of the Placing Shares; and (d) made 
      its investment decision based upon its own judgment, due diligence and 
      analysis and not upon any view expressed or information provided by or on 
      behalf of the Joint Bookrunners; 
 
  35. it may not rely on any investigation that the Joint Bookrunners or any 
      person acting on its behalf may or may not have conducted with respect to 
      the Company, or the Placing and the Joint Bookrunners has not made any 
      representation to it, express or implied, with respect to the merits of 
      the Placing, the subscription for the Placing Shares, or as to the 
      condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company, or as to any other 
      matter relating thereto, and nothing herein shall be construed as a 
      recommendation to it to subscribe for the Placing Shares. It acknowledges 
      and agrees that no information has been prepared by the Joint Bookrunners 
      or the Company for the purposes of this Placing; 
 
  36. it will not hold the Joint Bookrunners or any of their respective 
      affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees or any person acting 
      on their behalf responsible or liable for any misstatements in or 
      omission from any publicly available information relating to the Company 
      (including, but not limited to, the Publicly Available Information) or 
      information made available (whether in written or oral form) in 
      presentations or as part of roadshow discussions with investors relating 
      to the Company (the "Information") and that neither the Joint Bookrunners 
      nor any person acting on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners makes any 
      representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the truth, accuracy 
      or completeness of such Information or accepts any responsibility for any 
      of such Information; and 
 
  37. the Placing Shares have not been and will not be registered under the 
      Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state 
      or other jurisdiction of the United States, and accordingly, may not be 
      offered or sold or otherwise transferred in the United States except 
      pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or an 
      exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, 
      in connection with any such transfer, the Company shall be provided, as a 
      condition to transfer, with a legal opinion of counsel, in form and by 
      counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that no such Securities 
      Act registration is or will be required and with appropriate 
      certifications by the transferee as to appropriate matters. 
 
  38. if a Placee is purchasing the Placing Shares outside the United States, 
      the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees, 
      represents and warrants as follows: 
 
          1. it is aware that the Placing Shares are being offered outside the 
             United States in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under the 
             Securities Act ("Regulation S"); 
 
          2. it is, at the time of the offer and acceptance of the Placing 
             Shares, outside the United States for the purposes of Regulation 
             S; and 
 
          3. it did not purchase or otherwise acquire the Placing Shares based 
             on or due to directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902 
             under the Securities Act), including based on an advertisement in 
             a publication with a general circulation in the United States, nor 
             has it seen or been aware of any activity that, to its knowledge, 
             constitutes directed selling efforts in the United States. 
 
 
   The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings 
contained in this Announcement are given to each of the Joint 
Bookrunners for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable. 
 
   Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges 
that the Joint Bookrunners do not owe any fiduciary or other duties to 
any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, 
acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement. 
 
   In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp 
duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, 
documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or 
penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them 
or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or 
the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares. 
 
   Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges 
and agrees that the Joint Bookrunners or any of their affiliates may, at 
their absolute discretion, satisfy their obligations to procure Placees 
by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the 
Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do 
so. 
 
   When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with 
the Joint Bookrunners, any money held in an account with the Joint 
Bookrunners on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf 
of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of 
the rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. The Placee 
acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections 
conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will 
not be segregated from the Joint Bookrunners money in accordance with 
the client money rules and will be used by the Joint Bookrunners in the 
course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general 
creditor of the Joint Bookrunners. 
 
   References to time in this Announcement are to London time, unless 
otherwise stated. All times and dates in this Announcement may be 
subject to amendment. The Joint Bookrunners shall notify the Placees and 
any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes. 
 
   No statement in this Announcement is intended to be a profit forecast, 
and no statement in this Announcement should be interpreted to mean that 
earnings per share of the Company for the current or future financial 
years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published 
earnings per share of the Company. 
 
   The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as 
well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon 
disposal of the shares.  Past performance is no guide to future 
performance, and persons needing advice should consult an independent 
financial adviser. 
 
   The Placing Shares to be issued or sold pursuant to the Placing will not 
be admitted to trading on any stock exchange other than AIM, Euronext 
Growth and the TSX Venture Exchange Market.
