Longboat Energy plc

("Longboat Energy", "the Company" or "Longboat")

Notification of Transaction by Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR")

Co-Investment Plan Awards

Following the acquisition of ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("Company Shares") by various PDMRs as announced on 11 July 2023, Longboat Energy announces conditional awards made under the Company's Co-Investment Plan (the "CIP" or "Plan") to PDMRs of the Company.

The Plan

The Plan allows participating employees to be granted matching awards over one Company Share ("Plan Share") for every Company Share ("Investment Share") acquired by the employees up to a maximum of 50% of their pre-tax base salary. The Company believes that awards under the Plan will strengthen alignment between employees and shareholders through increased share ownership.

At present, the Company may issue up to 15% of its share capital within a ten-year period to satisfy awards to participants in the Plan, the Company's Founders Incentive Plan ("FIP") and Long Term Incentive Plan, and any other share plan operated by the Company under which shares are issued. The Company plans to restrict dilution under this limit to 10% of its share capital, in line with market practice, by the end of 2024 to be achieved by a combination of the anticipated lapse of existing awards made under the Plan and FIP together with the surrender of certain awards made under the FIP.

Awards

The Company's Remuneration Committee, which is made up exclusively of Non-Executive Directors, has made awards under the Plan to the following PDMRs (the "Awards") in the form of options to acquire Plan Shares (the "Nil Cost Options"). The number of Investment Shares acquired, and the number of Plan Shares and percentage of the Company's issued share capital ("ISC") as at 3 August 2023 over which the Nil Cost Options have been granted, is set out below:
