6 April 2018

Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc ("Lansdowne" or the "Company") (AIM: LOGP) is pleased to advise that it has placed 69,230,761 new ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") with new and existing investors (the "Placees") at a placing price of 1.3 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"), to raise GBP900,000 before costs. Brandon Hill Capital acted as placing agent.

The proceeds of the Placing are to be used to:

   --      meet the Company's share of Barryroe costs through to closing of the Farm-out in Q3 2018 
   --      fund the Company's on-going working capital requirements until mid-2019. 

Brandon Hill Capital has also agreed to convert the outstanding amount of their loan to the Company, amounting to GBP326,911 (including interest), into new ordinary shares at the Placing Price.

In addition, LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd has agreed to convert GBP680,000 of the senior secured loan (including associated interest) issued to it by the Company in March 2015 into new ordinary shares at the Placing Price, and extend the term of the remaining amounts under the Loan Note to 30 June 2019.

The Placing

The Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of GBP900,000 before costs through the issue of the Placing Shares. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 11.32 per cent of the enlarged share capital of the Company (following the issue of the Placing Shares, BHC Loan Shares and LC Loan Shares as defined below).

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in all respects. Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on 12 April 2018 ("Admission").

The Placing is conditional on, inter alia, Admission taking place on 12 April 2018 or such other date as the Company and BHC may agree.

The Loans

On 28 June 2017, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Brandon Hill Capital Limited for GBP350,000("BHC Loan").

Brandon Hill Capital Limited has now agreed to convert the amount currently outstanding into new ordinary shares at the Placing Price. This will result in the issue of 25,146,999 new ordinary shares to Brandon Hill Capital Limited. Of these, 16,153,846 new ordinary shares (the "BHC Loan Shares") will be issued under the Company's existing authorities and 8,993,153 new ordinary shares (the "Further BHC Loan Shares") shall be subject to shareholder approval.

On 10 March 2015, the Company issued a senior secured Loan Note to LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd (the "LC Loan"). LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd has now agreed to convert GBP680,000 of the amount currently outstanding into new ordinary shares at the Placing Price. This will result in the issue of 52,307,692 million new ordinary shares to LC Capital Master Fund Ltd. Of these, 16,153,846 new ordinary shares (the "LC Loan Shares") will be issued under the Company's existing authorities and 36,153,846 new ordinary shares (the "Further LC Loan Shares") shall be subject to shareholder approval.

In addition, LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd has agreed to a further extension of the term of the remaining LC Loan to 30 June 2019. The remaining LC Loan carries no conversion rights. The total amount outstanding under the LC Loan following this conversion (including interest) will be GBP1,007,415.

The BHC Loan Shares and the LC Loan Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in all respects. Application has been made for the BHC Loan Shares and the LC Loan Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on Admission.

Conditional upon the passing of the necessary shareholder resolutions to approve the allotment and issue of the Further BHC Loan Shares and the Further LC Loan Shares, such ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the then existing ordinary shares in all respects and application will be made for admission to trading of such ordinary shares on AIM. A further announcement will be made in due course.

Warrants

In connection with the Placing and the conversion of the BHC Loan, the Company will also be granting the Company's placing agents, Brandon Hill Capital, a total of 4,718,887 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 1.3 pence per share over a term of 3 years. The issue of these warrants shall be subject to shareholder approval and will be exercisable from the date of such approval.

Use of Proceeds

The purpose of the Placing is to raise proceeds sufficient to fund the Company's share of costs on the Barryroe Licence through to closing of the Farm-out which is expected to occur in Q3 2018 and for on-going working capital requirements to mid-2019.

Related Party Transactions

The conversion of the BHC Loan, the LC Loan, the extension of the remaining LC Loan to 30 June 2019 and the granting of warrants to Brandon Hill Capital Limited, are related party transactions 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 these transactions are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

General Meeting

The Company will call a general meeting (the "General Meeting") on or around 1 May 2018 to approve the issue of the Further BHC Loan Shares, the Further LC Loan Shares and the warrants and a further announcement will be made on this in due course.

Total Voting Rights

Following admission of the Placing Shares, the BHC Loan Shares and the LC Loan Shares, the Company will have in issue 611,702,847 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 611,702,847.

I would particularly like to acknowledge our major shareholders, LC Capital and Brandon Hill Capital Limited for their support of the Company through the difficult period caused by the decline in the oil price.

With a clear pathway forward on Barryroe and continued improvement in the oil price, we can now return to focus upon value creation"
