Exercise of Warrants & Financial Position Update

10(th) October 2018

Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc ("Lansdowne" or the "Company"), the North Celtic Sea focussed, oil and gas company, announces that it has been notified by Brandon Hill Capital ("Brandon Hill") that it has exercised the conversion of 5,000,000 warrants at an exercise price of 1 pence per share, resulting in proceeds of GBP50,000 being delivered to the Company.

The 5,000,000 new Lansdowne ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, and application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings on AIM are expected to commence at 8:00am on or around 15 October 2018 ("Admission").

Following the receipt of the GBP50,000, the Company's cash balance is now approximately GBP266,000. As previously stated, the current day-to-day running costs of the Company are circa GBP35,000 per month. The Company can also confirm there are a further 8,218,887 warrants held by Brandon Hill, all significantly in the money, which if exercised would provide Lansdowne with a further cash injection of GBP96,345.53.

Total Voting Rights

Following admission of the new Shares, the Company will have in issue 661,849,846 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each. No ordinary shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 661,849,846. Brandon Hill's interest in the Company's issued share capital will increase to 14.28%.

Related Party Transaction

The issue of the new Ordinary Shares to Brandon Hill Capital Limited is a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Independent Directors, who for this purpose are Steve Boldy, Viscount Torrington, John Aldersey-Williams and Jeffrey Auld, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, consider that this transaction is fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
