Tower Resources plc

("Tower" or the "Company")

Grant of Options under Annual Long Term Incentive Plan

Tower Resources plc (TRP.L, TRP LN), the AIM listed oil and gas company with its focus on Africa , announces that options (the "Options") over a total of 86 million new ordinary shares ("Shares") in the capital of the Company were awarded on 17 December 2020 at an exercise price of 0.45 pence per ordinary share, being a premium of 20% over the closing price of the Shares on that day. The Options will vest in three equal tranches being 12, 24 and 36 months respectively after issue and will expire, if not previously exercised, on the fifth anniversary of their issue, and will be governed by the terms of the Company's existing share option scheme (the "Scheme").

The Options represent, in aggregate, approximately 4.1% of the fully diluted Shares outstanding, and will bring the total number of share options outstanding under the Company's share option scheme to 157,600,800, comprising approximately 7.5% of the fully diluted Shares outstanding.

This 2020 award of Options has been made later than usual in the calendar year, as a result of restrictions on director dealings earlier in the year, and subsequently the Board's preference to bring its new members onto the Remuneration Committee and get them fully up to date before making the annual award.

Details of the grant to directors, PDMRs and consultants are set out below:
