New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (38% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£5.42m market cap, or US$7.28m). Minor Risk Revenue is less than US$5m (UK£2.5m revenue, or US$3.3m). Ankündigung • May 27

Union Jack holds a 16.665% working interest in PEDL183, that incorporates the West Newton gas discoveries and is operated on behalf of the Joint Venture partners by Rathlin Energy (UK) Ltd. ("Rathlin"). Rathlin has conducted a feasibility study and evaluated the potential for an early development and monetisation strategy, using gas to be produced from the existing discovery wells to generate on-site electricity to power cryptocurrency mining activities. Rathlin, on behalf of the Joint Venture partnership which also includes Reabold Resources plc, has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a Texas-based company, 360 Energy Inc. (" 360 Energy") to design a Bitcoin mining solution at West Newton, subject to regulatory and third-party approvals. The Joint Venture partners believe that cryptocurrency mining offers an innovative and significant near-term value generating opportunity, providing early production and cash flow in advance of any planned full gas field development decision Bitcoin Mining Evaluation. Rathlin, along with its Joint Venture partners, has been evaluating ways of generating additional value through early production schemes, ahead of any longer-term full gas field development. In particular, Rathlin has been looking at development concepts that would co-locate gas-powered generators and cryptocurrency mining equipment at the West Newton A and B sites, which would be fuelled by the natural gas produced at those locations. On behalf of the Joint Venture partnership, Rathlin has entered into a non- binding LOI with 360 Energy, a natural gas offtake and monetisation provider, headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA. Under the terms of the LOI, both parties will work to scope, design and subject to regulatory and third- party approvals, deploy 360 Energy's proven In-Field Computing ("IFC") technology, designed to convert natural gas produced at West Newton to power on-site data centres, generating revenues from Bitcoin production. Whilst at an early conceptual stage, preliminary economic estimates indicate that cryptocurrency mining could deliver very attractive returns. The LOI envisages the IFC initially being deployed at the West Newton A site, converting natural gas from the WNA-2 well into Bitcoin, subsequently being expanded to encompass other discoveries.

Union Jack Oil plc Announces Positive Update on the Testing of the Moccasin 1-13 Well, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, USA Union Jack Oil plc announced, further to the RNS dated 25 February 2025, a positive update on the testing of the Moccasin 1-13 well ("Moccasin"), located in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, USA. Union Jack holds a 45% working interest in this well. Reach Oil & Gas Company Inc. ("Reach"), the Operator, holds the remaining 55% working interest. The primary objective, the 1st Wilcox formation was perforated, tested and confirmed as a significant oil producer, free flowing under natural pressure, with no formation water present and minimal associated gas. Initial open hole average flow rate over several test periods and a number of days was recorded at 25.88 barrels of oil per hour equating to 621 barrels of oil per day. Moccasin is currently being evaluated under highly restricted flow using various choke sizes and has produced over 140 barrels per day of light crude oil with an API of 32 degrees, under a 13/64 choke (approximately 0.2 of an inch). During this evaluation phase, Moccasin will be further restricted with a smaller choke to monitor pressure to determine the production rate for maximum ultimate oil recovery. The installation of permanent production facilities, comprising oil storage tanks, separator and flowlines is complete and oil sales have commenced. Moccasin confirms the trapping of hydrocarbons in multiple zones within the structure. Two other zones, the Red Fork and the Bartlesville Sandstones to be perforated and evaluated in due course. Moccasin drill and completion costs have already been funded from the Company's cash resources. Moccasin, now declared a commercial discovery, was drilled to a Total Depth of 5,690 feet to test a dip and fault closed structure, mapped from 3D seismic, downthrown on the west side of the Wilzetta fault. Moccasin was an untested structural prospect with secondary targets in the Pennsylvanian Sands. The Moccasin structure is a compressive feature, associated with the regional Wilzetta Fault. This strike-slip fault was active through the Ordovician to early Carboniferous periods and is responsible for several large oil accumulations. The Woodford Shale, the main source for light oil across the region is present within the Moccasin structure and between the primary reservoir targets. Ankündigung • Feb 25

("Reach") that the spudding of the Taylor-1 well ("Taylor"), located in Seminole County, Oklahoma, USA is expected on or around 31 October 2024. Union Jack holds a 45% working interest in this well. The Taylor-1 well is an untested 3D seismic supported Hunton Remnant prospect with secondary targets in the Misener and Wilcox sands. Wilcox structures to the north and the east of Taylor were prolific in 1920s, producing in the thousands of barrels of oil per day. Historically, there have been several regional, high-profile fields such as the Bowlegs field that produced 195 million barrels of oil from the Hunton, Wilcox and Misener reservoirs. Reach estimates the geological chance of success to be 40%. Taylor will be followed as soon as possible by the drilling of the Moccasin well ("Moccasin") in which Union Jack hold a 45% working interest. Moccasin is an untested 3D seismic supported Hunton and Wilcox structure with secondary targets in Pennsylvanian Channel Sands and Base Pennsylvanian Unconformity Sand. The Moccasin structure is a compressive feature, associated with the regional Wilzetta Fault. This strike-slip fault was active through the Ordovician to early Carboniferous periods and is responsible for several large oil accumulations. The Moccasin structure lies close to the Woodford Shale, the main source for light oil across the region. In the area of the Moccasin well, a deviation in the fault has caused compressive forces forming numerous dome and fault structures which have led to proven oilfields, such as the adjacent North-East Shawnee and North-West Redhill fields that have produced more than 6 million barrels of oil. Reach assesses a high chance of finding movable hydrocarbons in the Base Pennsylvanian Sands and an approximate 50% chance of success in other target zones. Taylor and Moccasin drilling and completion costs are being funded from the Company`s existing cash resources. New Risk • Oct 07
New minor risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$5m in revenue. Total revenue: UK£3.8m (US$5.0m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (30% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.6% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (UK£3.8m revenue, or US$5.0m).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 30% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management.

On success, the 2-17 well will share common production facilities with the Andrews 1-17, thereby lowering costs and optimising project economics. Union Jack paying pro-rata 45% share of well costs - no promote or back charges. Drilling and completion costs of circa USD 340,000 net, already paid from the Company's existing cash resources. The target for this well is the Hunton Limestone, one of the main hydrocarbon reservoirs in Oklahoma. The Hunton Limestone is unconformably overlain by the main oil-prone source rock, the Woodford Shale and is in an excellent position for the migration of oil. Primary oil recovery is expected to be by solution gas drive with any gas recovered to surface being sold into the local network. Reach is an accredited operator in the USA, owning and operating oil and gas production facilities in Seminole and Pottawatomie Counties in Oklahoma. All prospects are generated by Reach which owns modern seismic data acquisition equipment, supplied by a UK based company Stryde Limited. Ankündigung • Jun 13

Union Jack Oil plc Publishes Positive Conclusions of A Carbon Intensity Study on the West Newton Gas Development Union Jack Oil plc publish the positive conclusions of a Carbon Intensity Study on the West Newton gas development, located within PEDL 183 onshore UK in East Yorkshire. This study was undertaken on behalf of Union Jack and Reabold Resources plc ("Reabold"), by GaffneyCline & Associates Limited ("GaffneyCline"), an international petroleum and energy consultancy. Union Jack holds a 16.665% interest in PEDL 183 that includes the West Newton hydrocarbon discoveries. The GaffneyCline Report highlighted the following: The West Newton project has an AA rating for Carbon Intensity for its potential upstream gas and condensate production; Carbon Intensities at the West Newton field are significantly lower than the UK average compared to other onshore and onshore analogues; Based on the study, GaffneyCline estimates that West Newton could produce the equivalent of just 2.87 grams of CO2 per megajoule of energy developed (gCO2 eq./MJ); As the development proceeds and project knowledge increases, there is potential to further improve the Carbon Intensity by further reducing fugitive flaring and venting emissions and by gas-to-grid development. Union Jack's focus is to minimise emissions and the carbon footprint generated by its hydrocarbon developments in the most efficient way possible, whilst continuing to contribute positively to the growing demand for energy and hydrocarbon products in the supply chain. The demand for energy is increasing and, as the global economy recovers, hydrocarbons will continue to play an ongoing part in ensuring the energy security of the UK. Union Jack's development projects are located close to areas with a high demand for energy. As a consequence, the Company believes that locally produced hydrocarbons may provide the benefit of displacing, to some extent, imported hydrocarbons. The Carbon Intensity on the West Newton gas development project was calculated by GaffneyCline, using a tool called the Oil Production Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimator ("OPGEE"), developed at Stanford University with support from GaffneyCline. This tool is used, amongst other applications, by the California Air Resources Board for regulation of transport fuel related Green House Gas ("GHG") emissions. The OPGEE tool selects parameters from a range of 'smart' defaults, however, these are not always optimal for specific fields. GaffneyCline was then able to harness appropriate parameters available from their proprietary Global database of Carbon Intensity evaluations for over 9,000 gas and oil fields, categorised with metadata for analogue field identification, and a classification system for recovery mechanism. Analysis of the results of this GaffneyCline study concludes that a West Newton gas development will have carbon intensities significantly lower than the UK average and compared to other onshore analogues. As recommended by the study, the gas and condensate development of West Newton will seek to further reduce the project's Carbon Intensity through the utilisation of the best available techniques, including Gas-to-Grid technologies and stringent engineering specifications to minimise any venting, flaring or fugitive emissions.

Union Jack Oil plc Announces Spudding of Andrews-1-17 Well West Bowlegs Oklahoma, USA Union Jack Oil plc announced that, further to its announcement dated 6 February 2024, that the Company has been informed by the Operator, Reach Oil & Gas Company Inc. (Reach), that a drilling contract has been signed with a local contractor, groundworks have been completed and a spud date on or around 20 March 2024 is anticipated in respect of the drilling of the Andrews-1-17 well to test the West Bowlegs Prospect, located in Seminole County, Oklahoma, USA. Union Jack holds a 45% working interest in the Andrews-1-17 well. Andrews-1-17 well has a geological chance of success estimated by the Operator to be 75%. Approximate ten-day drilling period to a depth of 5,200 feet. Completion time is swift; approximately eight days including perforating and flow-back if successful. The target for this well is the Hunton Limestone. The Hunton Limestone is unconformably overlain by the main oil-prone source rock, the Woodford Shale and is in an excellent position for the migration of oil. Oil-filled porosity is encountered within a basal Oolite limestone formation in wells within a mile of the first drill location for the Andrews-1-17 well and this is believed to be the main reservoir within West Bowlegs. West Bowlegs is associated with a remnant of the Hunton Limestone and is expected to be at original pressure with the seal for the reservoir being the Woodford Shale and lateral seal against the underlying Sylvan Shale. Primary oil recovery is expected to be by solution gas drive with any gas recovered to surface being sold into the local network. Ankündigung • Feb 27
Union Jack Oil plc Provides West Newton Drilling Update Early Gas Development Plan Union Jack Oil plc offer a positive update in respect of planned future drilling and the potential development at West Newton PEDL183, in which the Company holds a 16.665% economic interest. West Newton is located onshore UK in East Yorkshire, within the Western Sector of the Southern Zechstein Basin which contains the significant West Newton A1, A2 and WNB-1z discoveries. Following several months of technical evaluation, the West Newton Joint Venture partners, Union Jack, Reabold Resources plc and Rathlin Energy UK Ltd. have agreed a revised drilling programme utilising the West Newton A drilling site. A proposed well ("WN-A3") planned to be drilled during late 2024 will be twinned with the West Newton A-1 discovery well ("WN-A1"), which was not tested. WN-A1 is interpreted as having a 27 metre gas column within the Kirkham Abbey formation ("KA Formation") as indicated on the logs of the WN-A1 well. WN-A3 will be directional, offering significant cost savings compared with a horizontal well. An additional material secondary target in the deeper Permian Rotliegend Sandstone will also be evaluated during drilling of the WN-A3 or by the re-entry of WN-A1. A feasibility study is underway for a single gas well development plan at WN-A3 well to follow successful testing and well completion. Planning is already in place to drill and produce from the WNA Site whilst other associated approvals are being accelerated. Revised drilling plan is cost-effective with an above average chance of success, offering a rapid early-stage development scenario with access to significant early cash flows if successful. The WN-A1 well, drilled in 2013, is interpreted as having encountered 27 metres of potential gas pay at the top of the KA Formation. This figure was calculated from the Computer Petrophysical Interpretation ("CPI"), using electrical and mud logs over the interval. The KA Formation was perforated and cleaned using 15% hydrochloric acid. After removal of the acidising work-string and during preparation to run the production work-string the well started to flow fluid and the blind rams were closed for safety reasons to establish control of the well. After numerous clean up attempts failed, WN-A1 was subsequently shut-in and suspended under normal operational and safety procedures. The conclusion drawn from these well operations was that due to severe damage to the KA Formation it was not possible to obtain a valid hydrocarbon production test to surface of the 27 metre pay-zone shown on the CPI log. A re-evaluation of the downhole logs of WN-A1 by the Joint Venture's technical teams also indicates a possible seven metre gas column in the Permian Rotliegend Sandstone, the main reservoir for the prolific Southern Gas Basin gasfields. The gas is sourced from the underlying Westphalian and Namurian sediments trapped in structures sealed by the overlying Zechstein evaporites. Preliminary mapping of the base Zechstein at West Newton indicates low-relief structures as observed offshore. The nearest offshore Rotliegend field was the Amethyst complex centred on block 47/14a within the Southern Gas Basin, containing 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas in place, producing approximately 795 billion cubic feet of gas and 5.4 million barrels of condensate, from a series of low-relief structures trending South-East to North-West. Within the UK onshore, the Caythorpe field, approximately 30 kilometres north of West Newton produced 6.67 bcf of gas with associated condensate from the Rotliegend, displaying porosities up to 19% and permeability up to 500md, with gas also being produced from the overlying Zechstein. Calculations for the Rotliegend zone in WN-A1 indicate similar porosities to those seen at Caythorpe. Core was not cut from the WN-A1 well, however, the logs indicate drilling mud invasion over the Rotliegend interval which is taken to indicate effective permeability. Residual gas is also calculated below the base of the seven-metre gas column in the Rotliegend Sandstone. A feasibility study is being undertaken by independent energy consultants CNG Services Limited on a single well development and gas export plan associated with WN-A3 to follow successful testing ("West Newton Gas Export Feasibility Study"). The scope of the West Newton Gas Export Feasibility Study is to determine the technical and economic viability of a single well development plan, with production from WN-A3, processed from a modular plant and a 3.5 kilometre pipeline from the WNA Site to the National Transmission System, at an existing above-ground installation. Commercial gas production could be brought to market within months of a successful production test, resulting in a materially reduced capital investment which provides significant early cash flow whilst additional activity is carried out on the further development of the West Newton project.

Union Jack Oil plc Provides Update on West Newton Mobilisation and Test Activities Update PEDL183 Union Jack Oil plc provided an update on mobilisation of associated equipment and planned test activities at the West Newton B site. PEDL183 is located onshore UK, north of the river Humber, also encompassing the town of Beverley, East Yorkshire, covering an area of 176,000 acres. The licence area is within the western sector of the Southern Zechstein Basin. The West Newton A-1, A-2 and recent B-1Z discoveries are on-trend with the prolific offshore Hewett gas complex. Union Jack holds a 16.665% economic interest in the licence area. On 24 May 2021, equipment required to complete and test the West Newton B-1Z well commenced mobilisation to site. This equipment includes a workover rig, well test package, Certified Ultra-low Emission Burners, a wireline unit and other related materials. The equipment will be rigged-up during the first week of operations, after which completion activities including perforation and well treatment operations will commence. The well test will follow these operations. Overall, the duration of the West Newton B-1Z completion and testing operations are expected to take approximately six weeks. All operations are being conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements, permissions, planning conditions and Covid-19 restrictions and guidance. Initially, site activities including rigging up and completion operations will be conducted during daylight hours (07:00-19:00), however, once well testing operations are underway site activities will move to 24-hours a day, seven days a week. HGV and delivery traffic will be planned for daytime hours (07:00-19:00), Monday to Saturday and will follow the approved traffic management route. The site will have a manned security presence and wellsite supervision 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The West Newton B-1Z completion and testing operations are targeting and fully appraising hydrocarbons within the conventional Kirkham Abbey Formation reservoir. Following the completion of operations on the WN B-1Z well, it is the Operator's intention to mobilise equipment and personnel to the West Newton A site to re-commence testing of the WN A-2 well, also appraising hydrocarbons within the Kirkham Abbey reservoir.

Union Jack Oil plc Announces Wressle Development Update PEDL180 and PEDL182 Union Jack Oil plc announced that all necessary consents have been received by the Operator, Egdon Resources U.K. Limited ("Egdon") for the commencement of the proppant squeeze operation at the Wressle oil production site ("Wressle"). Located in Lincolnshire in the Humber Basin, PEDL180 and PEDL182 contain the substantial conventional Wressle-1 oil discovery which has proven reserves and significant upside. Union Jack holds a 40% economic interest in these licences. The proppant squeeze operation is expected to optimise oil production from the Ashover Grit formation, one of the three productive reservoirs present, to a constrained rate of 500 barrels of oil per day gross (200 barrels per day net to Union Jack). Independent data, acquired by the JOA partners indicate that this predicted flow rate should be achievable post-proppant squeeze. The Wressle-1 well has been on a 24 hour production test since 30 January 2021, with produced oil transported by road tanker to the Phillips 66 Humber refinery and sold under Egdon's existing oil sales contract. Since the successful re-perforating exercise on the Ashover Grit reservoir where communication with the formation was achieved, increased oil production has been observed, exceeding JOA partner expectations, pre-proppant squeeze with high quality free flowing oil being produced and no water present.

The company holds a 16.665% interest in PEDL183, containing the conventional West Newton A-1 discovery well and the West Newton A-2 appraisal well. The WNB-1 well has been drilled safely to a Total Depth of 2,295 metres, encountering both the primary and secondary objectives, the Kirkham Abbey and Cadeby formations, respectively. The Kirkham Abbey formation indicated a hydrocarbon charge based on wireline logs, cuttings and mud gas readings. The secondary target, the Cadeby formation contained insufficient reservoir development within the targeted slope environment. The Joint Venture has commenced a side-track drilling operation from the WNB-1 well and following preparatory engineering exercises the West Newton B-1Z (WNB-1Z) will be drilling ahead during the next few days. The objective of the WNB-1Z side-track well is to further appraise the Kirkham Abbey formation on a structurally superior location, targeting enhanced reservoir quality and on-trend with the previously discovered Kirkham Abbey accumulations. The information derived from both the WNB-1 and WNB-1Z wells will provide additional data to inform the optimal locations of future development wells at the West Newton project.
