Subject: Formal Shareholder Inquiry Regarding Strategic Commercial Alignment and Value Realisation
Dear Lorna, Graham, and the Board of Directors,
I am writing to you as a long-term shareholder to express both my congratulations on the recent technical milestones and my significant concern regarding the current market valuation and commercial communication strategy of Helium One.
While the February 16, 2026 RNS confirmed a world-class 9.2% helium concentration and successful ESP flow rates of 16,400 bpd, the market's response remains stagnant. As of today, we are in a global helium supply crisis following the QatarEnergy Force Majeure (March 4, 2026). This is a "Black Swan" event that has removed 30% of global supply. In this environment, HE1 is no longer just an explorer; we are a strategic national security asset for the West.
However, several factors are currently suppressing our "Maximum Value," and I am requesting the Board’s formal perspective on the following:
Closing the Value Gap: Current analyst "Fair Value" targets of 3.2p – 3.6p are based on outdated $500/mcf spot prices. With Qatar offline and the Strait of Hormuz contested, spot prices are surging toward $1,500-$2,000/mcf. When will the Board commission an updated CPR or independent valuation to reflect the 2026 reality?
Director Alignment (Skin in the Game): There is a growing concern among the retail majority (who hold ~65% of the register) regarding the lack of recent open-market purchases by Directors. While we understand the "Lock-out" periods, the absence of buying during previous windows suggests a lack of conviction that current prices represent a "bargain." Will the Board commit to personal market purchases to align themselves with the risk taken by retail holders?
The PR Vacuum: Competitors like Helix Exploration are effectively communicating the strategic advantage of "Primary Helium" to the global media. HE1’s communication remains overly technical and lacks a strong commercial narrative for institutional investors. What steps are being taken to increase the company’s commercial visibility on Tier-1 financial platforms (Bloomberg/CNBC) during this crisis?
Farm-out Urgency: The ESP testing has "de-risked" the Rukwa project. We expect a farm-out deal that reflects the scarcity of the asset—not a deal that results in further equity dilution. Can the Board confirm that non-dilutive financing is the primary focus of the current "Strategic Farmout Process"?
We have the gas, we have the rigs, and we have the world's highest concentrations. We now require the Commercial Leadership to ensure these technical wins translate into shareholder returns.
I look forward to your response and hope to see these points addressed in the upcoming Investor Meet Company (IMC) session.
Yours Sincerely,
LT Shareholder Group Member
