Announcement PDF RNS Number : 8320V Reabold Resources PLC 22 September 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION 22 September 2026 All Share Offer for Union Jack Oil plc (“Union Jack”) by Reabold Resources plc (“Reabold”) Day 49 Acceptance Level Update On 1 July 2026, the Board of Reabold, the investing company focused on developing strategic gas projects for European energy security, announced that it had reached agreement on the terms of an all share offer by Reabold for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Union Jack, to be effected by means of a UK Takeover Code (the “Code”) offer within the meaning of Part 28 of the CA 2006 (the "Offer"). On 29 July 2026, Union Jack and Reabold announced that the offer document containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer and the procedures for acceptance of the Offer (the “Offer Document”) was published and made available to Union Jack Shareholders and to persons with information rights, together with (for those Union Jack shareholders who hold their Union Jack Shares in certificated form) the related Form of Acceptance. On 11 September 2026, Union Jack announced that the rejection circular containing, inter alia, the New Board’s view on, and rejection of, the all-share offer for Union Jack by Reabold (the “Circular”) had been published and made available to Union Jack Shareholders and to persons with information rights. On 21 September 2026, the Board of Reabold issued a response to the Circular, setting out its view with regard to assertions in the Circular. Capitalised words and expressions in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meaning given in the Offer Document. Day 49 acceptance level update In accordance with Rule 17 of the Code, Reabold confirms that, as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 21 September 2026, Reabold had received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of a total of 5,220,241 Union Jack Shares. So far as Reabold is aware, included within the above are valid acceptances in respect of 31,000 Union Jack Shares, which were the subject of irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer. As described in paragraph 8 of Part VII of the Offer Document, a further of 3,101,144 Union Jack Shares are the subject of irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer (the “Irrevocable Shares”), representing approximately 2.1 per cent. of the issued share capital of Union Jack. Insofar as Reabold is aware, these commitments remain outstanding as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 21 September 2026. Therefore, as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 21 September 2026, Reabold counted 8,290,385 Union Jack Shares, representing approximately 5.70 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Union Jack, towards the satisfaction of the Acceptance Condition to the Offer. The percentages of Union Jack Shares referred to in this announcement are based on figures of 146,565,896 Union Jack Shares in issue as at close of business in London on 28 July 2026 (being the last Business Day prior to the publication of the Offer Document). Action to be taken by Union Jack Shareholders As announced on 11 September 2026, the Panel Executive published Panel Statement 2026/11 in which it ruled that “Day 60” of the Reabold Offer (being the latest date by which the conditions to the offer must be satisfied or waived) would be re-set to 2 October 2026. The Offer will therefore now remain open for acceptances until 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 2 October 2026, which is the Unconditional Date. The Unconditional Date may be brought forward or extended in accordance with the Code, as further described in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.4 of Section C of Part III of the Offer Document. Union Jack Shareholders are encouraged to accept the Offer as soon as possible. Acceptance of the Offer can help ensure that Union Jack's assets become part of a better-capitalised and more competitive business. The Reabold Board therefore urges all Union Jack Shareholders to read the Offer Document carefully and accept the Offer as soon as possible. To accept the Offer in respect of Union Jack Shares held in certificated form (that is, not in CREST), you must complete, sign and return the Form of Acceptance accompanying the Offer Document (together with the relevant share certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of title) as soon as possible and in any event so as to be received no later than 1.00 pm (London time) on 2 October 2026 or, if earlier, the Unconditional Date. To accept the Offer in respect of uncertificated Union Jack Shares (that is, in CREST), you must follow the procedure for Electronic Acceptance through CREST so that the TTE instruction settles as soon as possible and, in any event, so that the transfer to escrow settles no later than 1.00 pm (London time) on 2 October 2026 or, if earlier, the Unconditional Date. Full details of the procedures for acceptance of the Offer are set out in paragraph 17 of Part 1 of the Offer Document and as further described in the Form of Acceptance. The Offer is subject to the full terms and conditions set out in the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in the Offer Document. Forward Looking Statements This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other information published by Union Jack or Reabold contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Reabold shall operate in the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. The forward- looking statements contained in this announcement relate to Reabold’s’ future prospects, developments and business strategies, the expected timing and scope of the Offer and other statements other than historical facts. In some cases, these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, including the terms “believes”, “estimates”, “will look to”, “would look to”, “plans”, “prepares”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “is expected to”, “is subject to”, “intends”, “may”, “will”, ”seeks”, “trends”, "shall" or "should" or their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that shall occur in the future. These events and circumstances include the ability to complete the Offer, the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions on the proposed terms and schedule, changes in the anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction not being realised as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries in which Reabold and Union Jack operate, changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Reabold, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document shall actually occur. Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies relate to future actions and circumstances which, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, the cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated. Due to the scale of the Union Jack Group, there may be additional changes to the Union Jack’s Group’s operations. As a result, and given the fact that the changes relate to the future, the resulting cost synergies may be materially greater or less than those estimated. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only at the date of this document. All subsequent oral or written forward- looking statements attributable to Reabold, or any of its associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. Reabold expressly disclaims any obligation to update such statements other than as required by law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
