Investor Questions - Matters Arising

Angus Energy plc (AIM: ANGS) is pleased to have responded to some two dozen questions this month most of which are on technical matters, however we draw attention to two issues.

The first is to clarify that for almost any new or renewed operations, we do seek permissions from, or at any rate make notifications with, all regulators. Specifically, we are seeking in respect of the forthcoming Balcombe works, planning permission from West Sussex County Council, variation of permit from Environment Agency, and will make at least notification to Health & Safety Executive and lastly seek approval of our Extended Well Test from Oil & Gas Authority. There will often be second level conditions imposed, each with their own timetable. There is no statutory precedence of one approval over another nor is their any guidance as to such - they must all be sought, twin-tracked or multi-tracked as the case may be. Once provided by the relevant regulatory bodies the planned extended well test can proceed.

The second is to clarify that the GBP1.5 million 24(th) October 2019 Convertible Loan Note was raised in replacement of the January 2019 GBP3 million convertible facility which had been partially drawn on and fully repaid. As of 27(th) February the Company has drawn down GBP1 million of the GBP1.5 million October 2019 facility, of which GBP100,000 has been converted and GBP900,000 remains outstanding. At the same date cash at bank and in hand on 27(th) February 2020 was GBP3.5 million of which GBP650,000 is segregated reserving for eventual abandonment at Brockham and Lidsey. Most of the balance of GBP2.85 million free cash is being held to meet new and ongoing capital expenditure commitments at Saltfleetby and, to a lesser extent, at Balcombe, both of which projects remain within budget.

We attach the full text of the questions hereto but they may be found from midnight alongside previous month's questions at http://www.angusenergy.co.uk/media/investor-questions/

George Lucan, Managing Director, writes "We are pleased by the level of interest shown in our Investor Questions board and the quality of questions received."
