Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc

("Predator" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries "the Group")

Exercise of Warrants

Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc (PRD), the Jersey-based Oil and Gas Company with operations in Trinidad, Morocco and Ireland announces that it has received an exercise notice from Novum Securities Limited ("Novum") in respect of warrants issued to it pursuant to warrant agreements with the Company:

dated 24 May 2018 (in connection with the Placing carried out by the Company in May 2018 on admission of the Company to the Official List (standard listing segment) of the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities) to subscribe for 1,892,960 new shares of no par value each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at 2.8p per share, and

dated 17 February 2020 (in connection with the Placing carried out by the Company in February 2020) to subscribe for 2,256,250 new shares of no par value each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at 4p per share.

The Company has therefore allotted and issued the total of 4,149,210 New Ordinary Shares following receipt of the aggregate GBP143,252.88 subscription price from Novum. Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to listing on the Official List (standard listing segment) of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (together "Admission").

The Company advises that, following this Admission, the Company's issued share capital will be 308,595,477 shares of no par value, each with one vote per share (and no such shares are held in treasury). The total number of voting rights is therefore 308,595,477.

The above figure of 308,595,477 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they have a notifiable interest in the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, or if such interest has changed.

Notes to Editors:

Predator is operator of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement onshore Morocco which is prospective for Tertiary gas in prospects less than 10 kilometres from the Maghreb gas pipeline. The MOU-1 well has been completed and a follow-up testing programme is being developed and a further drilling programme is under review.

Predator is seeking to further develop the remaining oil reserves of Trinidad's mature onshore oil fields through the application of CO2 EOR techniques and by sequestrating anthropogenic carbon dioxide to produce "greener" oil.

In addition, Predator also owns and operates exploration and appraisal assets in licensing options offshore Ireland, for which successor authorisations have been applied for, adjoining Vermilion's Corrib gas field in the Slyne Basin on the Atlantic Margin and east of the decommissioned Kinsale gas field in the Celtic Sea.

Predator has developed a Floating Storage and Regasification Project ("FSRUP") for the import of LNG and its regassification for Ireland and is also developing gas storage concepts to address security of gas supply and volatility in gas prices during times of peak gas demand.

The Company has a highly experienced management team with a proven track record in operations in the oil and gas industry.
