Faroe Petroleum plc

("Faroe Petroleum" or the "Company")

Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

On 30 August 2018, a former employee of the Company exercised nil-cost options over a total of 50,821 ordinary shares of 10p each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Faroe Petroleum Incentive Plan ("FPIP").

Faroe Petroleum has applied to the London Stock Exchange for 50,821 new Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").

It is expected that Admission will become effective on 11 September 2018. The New Ordinary Shares will, following allotment, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will be 372,889,693 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 372,889,693.

Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
