Issue of Equity and Admission

ADM Energy PLC (AIM: ADME; BER and FSE: P4JC), a natural resource investing
company, provides the following updates in relation to: (i) a senior secured
financing transaction for US$1,000,000 entered into by its wholly owned
subsidiary Vega Energy USA, Inc («VEUSA») with Shoreline Energies, LLC
(«Lender»); (ii) a US$250,000 loan provided to the Company by an existing
creditor; (iii) legal proceedings involving the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiary, Vega Oil and Gas, LLC («Vega»); and (iv) an update regarding the
publication of its Annual Report and Financial Statements for its financial year
ended 31 December 2024 («2024 Annual Report») and its Half-yearly Report for the
six months ended 30 June 2025 («2025 Half-yearly Report»).

Senior Secured Loan Facility

Further to the announcement of 14 January 2026 with respect to its ongoing
financing discussions, the Company’s subsidiary company, VEUSA, has entered into
a five-year senior secured loan facility (the «VEUSA Loan») with Shoreline
Energies, LLC («Lender») subject to restoration of trading in the Company’s
shares.

Under the terms of the VEUSA Loan, VEUSA will receive US$1,000,000. In
connection with the VEUSA Loan, the Lender has been granted 1,373,806 five-year
warrants over common stock in VEUSA (the «Warrant Instrument») to acquire up to
1,373,806 common shares in VEUSA, at an exercise price of $0.72791 per common
share. If fully exercised, the Warrant Instrument would represent 51.0 per cent.
of the issued common stock of VEUSA.

Pursuant to a share exchange agreement entered into between ADM, VEUSA and the
Lender (the «Agreement»), the Lender has the right, subject to applicable
regulatory requirements and the UK Takeover Code, to exchange VEUSA common
shares acquired pursuant to the Warrant Instrument into ordinary shares of the
Company at a ratio of 2,000 ordinary shares of the Company for each one VEUSA
share. On a fully exchanged basis, and disregarding the restrictions described
below, such exchange would result in the Lender holding an interest equivalent
to approximately 51 per cent. of the current enlarged share capital of the
Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  the Lender (together with persons
acting in concert with it) does not intend to acquire interests carrying 30 per
cent. or more of the voting rights of the Company unless a waiver of Rule 9 of
the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the «Takeover Code») («Rule 9
Waiver») has been granted by the Takeover Panel (the «Panel») and, where
required, approved by independent shareholders. In the event that the Lender,
together with any persons with whom it is acting in concert, were to acquire
interest of greater than 30 per cent, in the absence of a Rule 9 Waiver,
 pursuant to the Takeover Code, the Lender may be required to make a mandatory
cash offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company.

Accordingly, the Lender shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, at any time
during the period of five years from the date of the VEUSA Loan, to exchange the
common shares acquired in VEUSA, pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant
Instrument, into ordinary shares of the Company up to an aggregate interest in
shares carrying no more than 29.99 per cent. of the voting rights of the
Company.

Key Terms of the VEUSA Loan

i. The VEUSA Loan may be used for purposes including, but not limited to,
investments and capital requirements of its investee companies;
ii. The VEUSA Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interests, shall be due
and payable in five years from the date of signing the VEUSA Loan;
iii. The VEUSA Loan will accrue interest at a rate of 12 per cent. per annum,
maturing on 14 December 2030;
iv. Interest payments are payable quarterly in arrears, in cash within 10
business days of the end of each fiscal quarter;
v. The VEUSA Loan shall be repaid on or before the maturity date. VEUSA will
pay back the VEUSA Loan in regular quarterly instalments following the first
anniversary of entering into the VEUSA Loan; and
vi. The VEUSA Loan and all obligations under the VEUSA Loan shall be secured by:
a. 100 per cent. of the issued share capital of VEUSA; and
b. 100 per cent. of the issued share capital of ADM 113 Limited (BVI); and

In addition, ADM Energy PLC has provided a corporate guarantee in favour of
Shoreline in respect of VEUSA’s obligations under the VEUSA Loan. Further,
Shoreline has been granted observer rights for meetings of the Board of
Directors of VEUSA and appointment rights over VEUSA in respect of a director
and a Chief Financial Officer of VEUSA.

VEUSA may not make distributions or dividends to ADM without Shoreline’s prior
consent and VEUSA must have established a segregated operating bank account for
all revenues and expenditures.

Shoreline Fee

Under the terms of the VEUSA Loan, the Company has agreed to pay Shoreline a
£100,000 structuring fee, settled via the issue of 100,000,000 ordinary shares
of 0.001 pence each («Ordinary Shares») at 0.1 pence per Ordinary Share («Issue
Price») («Structuring Fee Shares»).

Loan to ADM Energy PLC

In addition to the VEUSA Loan, the Company has entered into an unsecured loan
agreement with an existing creditor, providing the Company with US$250,000 (the
«PLC Loan»).

The PLC Loan has been agreed between the parties and has been advanced to
support the Company’s working capital requirements, including professional fees
and costs associated with the completion of the Company’s audit and related
corporate activity. The PLC Loan carries an interest rate of 30 per cent. per
annum on the outstanding balance until such time as the PLC Loan balance is
repaid.

Financing Conditions

Completion of the financing arrangements described in this announcement,
together with the issue of equity contemplated herein and subsequent investment
reorganisations (to be announced separately), is conditional upon the
restoration of the Company’s ordinary shares to trading on AIM.

Vega Oil and Gas Legal Proceedings

The Board of the Company advises that Vega Oil and Gas, LLC («Vega»), a wholly
owned subsidiary of ADM Energy PLC, has commenced legal proceedings in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against certain
third parties in relation to the ownership and operation of a small number of
oil and gas wells in Texas.

The proceedings relate to allegations that the defendants have improperly
asserted control over, and received production revenues from, wells which Vega
asserts it legally owns and in respect of which it holds the relevant working
interests. Vega is seeking declaratory relief confirming its ownership and
operating rights, together with ancillary relief including an accounting and
damages.

The Board believes that Vega has strong legal grounds for its claims and is
actively pursuing the matter. At this stage, it is not possible to determine the
timing or ultimate outcome of the proceedings.

The Company will make further announcements to the market in due course.

Update on Publication of Annual Results and Half-year Report

On 14 January 2026 the Company provided an update on the publication of its 2024
Annual Report and its 2025 Half-year Report. The Company advises that with the
Shoreline VEUSA Loan and the pending subsidiary investment reorganisation to be
announced, the Company and its auditors are in a position to be able to finalise
the 2024 Annual Report and its 2025 Half-year Report.

As such the Company expects that it will publish its 2024 Annual Report and the
2025 Half-year Report in the week commencing 2 February 2026 together with the
restoration of trading in its shares. The Company will continue to make
announcements regarding any developments that need to be disclosed in accordance
with its obligations under the AIM Rules, whilst the temporary suspension is in
place.

Financing Update

In the announcement on 2 October 2025, the Company advised that it was carefully
monitoring its cash position, following low levels of cash flow, and as such,
limited funds being returned to the Company by its investee companies in order
to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Following the completion of the
VEUSA Loan and the PLC Loan, the Company and its subsidiaries have received
US$1,250,000 of funding in aggregate.

It is the intention of the Company that the proceeds of the VEUSA Loan and the
PLC Loan will be used in order to finance the operations and expansion of the
JKT facilities, provide capital for further investments in the Company’s
portfolio of investments, make complementary investments in the oil production
and reclamation sectors, with a focus on US onshore assets, and to provide
working capital to the Company and its subsidiary companies.

Subject to (i) VEUSA achieving revenues, cash flow and other operating
milestones in accordance with its 2026 operating budget; and, (ii) the written
consent of the Lender, VEUSA anticipates providing funds to the PLC on a monthly
basis.  Funds will be provided as dividends or loans to the PLC and are expected
to grow steadily as revenues and cash flow of VEUSA grow in 2026.

In addition, the Company has undertaken a reorganisation of certain investments
in order to simplify its corporate structure and to increase its interest and
revenue share, with the expectation of an increased cashflow being returned to
the Company. An announcement related to this reorganisation will be made
shortly.

It is the intention that the financing facilities and investment reorganisation
will provide the Company with necessary short-term financing solutions. However
the Board of the Company continues to explore longer-term solutions to better
capitalise the Company and options to streamline its portfolio of investments,
including, but not limited to: further future funded swap agreements; disposals
of certain investments; and identifying further opportunities to joint venture,
partner or collaborate with the Lender and other parties.

The Company will continue to hold discussions with key stakeholders to manage
the financial position of the Company, and identify additional creditor
reductions.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Conditional on the restoration of the Company’s shares to trading on the AIM
Market («AIM») of the London Stock Exchange («LSE»), application will be made
for the 100,000,000 Structuring Fee Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM,
which is expected to occur on or around 12 February 2026 («Admission»). The
100,000,000 Structuring Fee Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the
ordinary shares of the Company currently traded on AIM.

Following Admission, the Company’s issued share capital will comprise
1,789,177,144 ordinary shares of 0.001 pence each. This number will represent
the total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are required
to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
