New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €92.9m (US$98.1m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jul 04

Kistos Announces the Positive Results of a Soft Cycling Relaxation Trial Completed at its Hill Top Farm Gas Storage Facility Kistos announced the positive results of a soft cycling relaxation trial completed at its Hill Top Farm gas storage facility. The trial, conducted at the start of May, and overseen by independent geotechnical experts, has confirmed the ability to increase 'working gas' capacity by 24% from 17.8 million to 22 million therms, an increase of 4.2 million therms, which is expected to significantly increase the revenue from both intrinsic seasonal trades and extrinsic trading. This conversion of 4.2 million therms from cushion gas to working gas brings the Hill Top facility in line with original design parameters and will allow for the gas to be sold by Kistos at an optimal time in order to maximise intrinsic revenues, whilst our trading partner will aim to capture additional upside from market-driven price volatility. Whilst this is the first study undertaken since the acquisition of the Hill Top Farm and Hole House Farm facilities from EDF Energy (Gas Storage) Limited earlier this year, the trial represents the fifth phase of a project which was initiated under EDF ownership, and demonstrates the opportunity to realise significant near and medium term upside from the assets. Kistos is now evaluating the economics of recommissioning the Hole House facility. Hole House was developed specifically for gas storage and was operational from 2001 through to 2018 when a period of re-brining the caverns commenced. Three out of the total four caverns are now brine filled, with cushion gas sold to market. Hole House requires approximately one-third as much cushion gas as Hill Top for the same amount of working gas. This study is due to complete during H2 2024. Announcement • Jun 19

Kistos Holdings plc Provides Balder Field Operational Update Kistos Holdings Plc announced that the upgrade of the Joutun FPSO is 90% complete and that first oil is now anticipated to be the end of Fourth Quarter 2024. Kistos is encouraged by recent activity, in particular the progress the Operator has made in working to convert more of the established 2C resources into sanctioned reserves through the ongoing drilling programme. The Company will continue to update the market in line with the Operator. In the event that first production is not achieved until 2025, due to the structure agreed upon through the acquisition of Mime Petroleum A.S. in 2023, the economics of the acquisition mitigate any effects of a delay by reducing the contingent consideration payable by Kistos to the Mime Petroleum bondholders.

Kistos Holdings plc Announces Development Approval for Victory Gas Field Kistos Holdings plc notes the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) decision to grant development and production consent for the Victory Gas Field, operated by Shell UK Limited. This follows an environmental impact assessment by the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning ("OPRED").

The gas produced from Victory will be developed as a single subsea tie-back well to GLA infrastructure and transported to the Shetland Gas Plant. The field is expected to reach first gas in the middle of the decade and will see peak production levels of circa 150 million cubic feet of gas per day. Production from the Victory field will significantly increase throughput at the Shetland Gas Plant, further extending the life of the Greater Laggan Area whilst reducing overall unit operating expenditure.
