ANGLO AFRICAN OIL & GAS PLC ("AAOG" or the "Company")

Placing to raise £6.0 million

Anglo African Oil & Gas plc (AIM: AAOG), an independent oil and gas developer, announces that it has raised gross proceeds of £6.0 million through a placing of 60,000,000 new ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") (the "Placing"). The Placing will provide the Company with the funds required to complete the drilling of well TLP-103C at its Tilapia field in the Republic of the Congo and to conduct due diligence over potential acquisition opportunities.

Summary of the Placing:

· The Placing is to raise gross proceeds of £6.0 million at a price of 10 pence per new Ordinary Share

· The Placing uses the Company's existing authorities to issue the new Ordinary Shares

· The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the appendix (the "Appendix") to this announcement (which forms part of this announcement, such announcement and the Appendix together being, this "Announcement"). The Placing is not underwritten.

· Application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 15 January 2019 and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence at that time.

Recent Company developments:

· TLP-101 brought back into production and has now produced an average of 55 bopd during a two-week test period which is materially more than those rates at which the well has produced over recent years. The Company is evaluating a proposal to use well TLP-102 as a water injector for well TLP-101 which could increase production to as much as 400 bopd.

· TLP-103C intersected the R1, R2 and R3 horizons on 15 December 2018

o Hydrocarbons were encountered in all horizons as prognosed and in line with the Company's geological model

o R1 was intersected at 1,273.3mMD and formed of claystone and siltstone

o R2 was intersected at 1,283mMD and was formed of sandstone

o R3 was intersected at 1,303mMD and was formed of claystone, dolomite and siltstone

· TLP-103C intersected the Mengo horizon on 24 December 2018

o Hydrocarbons were encountered

o The top of the Mengo was picked at 1,856-mMD and formed of interbedded sandstones and claystones, in line with the Company's geological model

o Observed oil and gas shows throughout the entire 50 metres of sandstone beds encountered

· Schlumberger wireline logging confirmed an aggregate of 44 metres of oil columns across multiple horizons

o 26 metre oil column in the Mengo identified in sandstones interbedded with claystones between 1,874.8mMD and 1,900.8mMD

o An aggregate 13 metres of oil columns across the new horizons identified between the R3 and the Mengo horizons in three layers of sandstones between 1,473mMD and 1,685.5mMD

o Five metre oil column identified in the R2 reservoir between 1,282.7mMD and 1,287.7mMD in line with the TLP-101V well located in fine sandstones

o Modular formation dynamics tests showed that the R2 reservoir is not depleted, confirming an onshore hydrocarbon system underlying the Tilapia licence area

o All three discoveries are of Early Cretaceous (Barremian) age

o Schlumberger wireline logging was completed in the entire 12¼" section of the well and further confirmed by a petro-physical interpretation (CPI)

· Following wireline logging, the Company will continue drilling towards the deeper Djeno horizon, which is known to be a prolific producer in neighbouring fields

Reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds:

The Company will use the net proceeds of the Placing as follows:

David Sefton, Executive Chairman of AAOG, said:

"The money raised in this Placing enables us to complete the TLP-103C well, the results from which so far have hopefully repaid shareholders' confidence in the Company. We are therefore very grateful for the continued support of our long-term shareholders who have made this Placing possible. We are particularly grateful that they have moved so quickly to finance the Company against the backdrop of such market turbulence.

"We remain extremely excited about the potential for TLP-103C. The confirmation of oil in multiple reservoirs, and with greater aggregate oil columns than expected, should with positive results from further testing, enable the Company quickly to effect a material increase in production and cashflows. However, we are currently drilling towards the Djeno and a success there could prove even more significant than the excellent results achieved so far in the R2 and the Mengo. We hope to be in a position to announce initial results on the Djeno before the end of this month.

"We should also make clear that this Placing replaces the capital that was available to the Company under the Sandabel Capital L.P. ("Sandabel") facility that has now been cancelled. There are no outstanding loan notes due to Sandabel, or any other lender, and the loan notes that were issued to Sandabel were all converted into Ordinary Shares last year.

"This Placing therefore marks a line in the sand for the funding of the TLP-103C well and we look forward to providing further updates on its progress in due course."

4.4 finnCap may, at its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive, or extend the period for, compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement save that the conditions relating to Admission, the issue of the application form, the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares (subject only to Admission) may not be waived.

4.5 Neither finnCap nor the Company shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Purchaser agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of finnCap.

4.6 finnCap is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company in certain circumstances, including, inter alia, a breach of the warranties given to finnCap in the Placing Agreement, the failure of the Company to comply with obligations under the Placing Agreement or an event has occurred which, in the opinion of finnCap (acting in good faith), constitutes or is likely to cause a material adverse change.

4.7 The rights and obligations of the Purchasers shall terminate only in the circumstances described in these terms and conditions and will not be subject to termination by the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Purchasers agree that the exercise by finnCap of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of finnCap, and that it need not make any reference to Purchasers and that it shall have no liability to Purchasers whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

5. OFFER PERSONAL

The offering of Placing Shares and the agreement arising from acceptance of the Placing is personal to each Purchaser and does not constitute an offering to any other person or to the public. A Purchaser may not assign, transfer, or in any other manner, deal with its rights or obligations under the agreement arising from the acceptance of the Placing, without the prior written agreement of finnCap in accordance with all relevant legal requirements.

6. NO PROSPECTUS

6.1 No offer document or prospectus has been or will be delivered to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") in relation to the Placing, and a Purchaser's commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the Announcement released by the Company today which this Appendix forms part of.

6.2 Each Purchaser, by making an offer to subscribe for Placing Shares, agrees that the content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or finnCap or any other person and neither the Company nor finnCap nor any other person will be liable for any Purchaser's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which Purchasers may have obtained or received, and if given or made, such information, representation, warranty or statement must not be relied upon as having been authorised by finnCap, the Company or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Neither the Company nor finnCap make any undertaking or warranty to any Purchaser regarding the legality of any investment in the Placing Shares by such Purchaser under any legal, investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Purchaser should not consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Each Purchaser should consult its own solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. REGISTRATION AND SETTLEMENT

7.1 Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares will, unless otherwise agreed, take place on a delivery versus payment basis within the CREST system administered by Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited ("CREST").

7.2 The Company will procure its Transfer Agent (as defined in paragraph 9(k) below) to deliver the Placing Shares to CREST accounts operated by finnCap for the Company and finnCap will enter its delivery (DEL) instructions into the CREST system. The input to CREST by each Purchaser of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Purchaser against payment.

7.3 Each Purchaser allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a conditional trade confirmation stating the number of Placing Shares and the subscription amount payable to be allocated to it and will be required to provide finnCap with funds sufficient to purchase such securities prior to the Closing Date.

7.4 Each Purchaser is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Company may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Purchaser on such Purchaser's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Purchaser plus any interest due. The relevant Purchaser will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Purchaser's behalf.

7.5 Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, it is expected that settlement will take place on or about 15 January 2019 in CREST in accordance with the instructions set out in the conditional trade confirmation. Settlement will be through finnCap against CREST ID Crest 601 A/c: FKCLT.

7.6 The Company reserves the right to require settlement for and delivery of the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to any Purchaser in any form it requires if, in finnCap's or the Company's opinion, delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements of the Purchaser's jurisdiction.

7.7 Each Purchaser agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the applicable registration and settlement procedures, including if applicable, CREST rules and regulations and settlement instructions that it has in place with finnCap.

7.8 If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Purchasers should ensure that the conditional trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Each Purchaser shall ensure that, insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Purchaser's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Purchaser is contracting as agent or nominee, such person shall not be a person who is or may be liable to any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax.

Each Purchaser further represents, warrants and agrees that the only information on which it is entitled to rely and on which such Purchaser has relied in committing itself to subscribe for the Placing Shares is contained in this Announcement and any information previously published by the Company, such information being all that it deems necessary to make an investment decision in respect of the Placing Shares and that it has neither received nor relied on any other information given or representations, warranties or statements made by either finnCap or the Company and neither finnCap nor the Company will be liable for any Purchaser's decision to accept an invitation to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement. Each Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it has relied solely on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in deciding to participate in the Placing;

(ii) in subscribing for Placing Shares, it has consented to receive "inside information" for the purposes of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No.596/2014 ("MAR"), and it agrees not to deal in any securities of the Company until such time as the inside information of which it has been made aware has been made public for the purposes of MAR or it has been notified by finnCap or the Company that the proposed Placing will not proceed and any unpublished price sensitive information of which the Purchaser is aware has been publicly announced, and, other than in respect of its knowledge of the proposed Placing, it has neither received nor relied on any confidential price sensitive information concerning the Company or the Placing Shares;

If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity finnCap has not received such satisfactory evidence, finnCap may, in its absolute discretion, reject an application for Placing Shares in which event all funds delivered by such Purchaser to finnCap (if any) will be returned without interest to the account of the drawee bank from which they were originally debited;

(kk) if it is a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, any Placing Shares acquired by it in the Placing will not be acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor will they be acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of securities to the public other than an offer or resale in a member state of EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive to Qualified Investors, unless finnCap has given prior consent to such proposed offer or resale;

(ll) it has complied and will comply with all applicable laws with respect to anything done by it or on its behalf in relation to the Placing Shares (including all relevant provisions of the FSMA in respect of anything done in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom);

(mm) it will (or will procure that its nominee will), if applicable, make notification to the Company of the interest in the Company's ordinary shares in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules;

(nn) it and any person acting on its behalf is entitled to subscribe for and purchase the Placing Shares under the laws of all relevant jurisdictions which would apply to it, and that it and any person acting on its behalf is in compliance with applicable laws in the jurisdiction of its residence, the residence of the Company, or otherwise;

(oo) it (and any person acting on its behalf) will make or procure payment for the Placing Shares allocated to it in accordance with this Announcement on the due time and date set out herein, failing which the relevant Placing Shares may be placed with other subscribers or sold as finnCap and the Company may in their absolute discretion determine and without liability to such Purchaser, and it will remain liable for any shortfall below the net proceeds of such Placing Shares and may be required to bear the liability for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or security transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties due pursuant to or referred to in in these terms and conditions) which may arise upon the placing or sale of such Purchaser's Placing Shares on its behalf;

(pp) the person whom it specifies for registration as holder of the Placing Shares will be (i) itself or (ii) its nominee, as the case may be, and neither finnCap nor the Company will be responsible for any liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax resulting from a failure to observe this requirement. Each Purchaser and any person acting on behalf of such Purchaser agrees to participate in the Placing and it agrees to indemnify the Company and finnCap in respect of the same on the basis that the Placing Shares will be allotted to the account of finnCap who will hold them as nominee on behalf of such Purchaser until settlement in accordance with its standing settlement instructions;

(qq) the Company and finnCap and their respective affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings which are given to each of finnCap on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable;

(rr) it will indemnify and hold the Company and finnCap and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings in this Announcement or incurred by the Company, finnCap or their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees arising from the performance of the Purchaser's obligations as set out in this Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after completion of the Placing;

(ss) its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms of the Placing and the Purchaser will have no right to be consulted or require that its consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing. The foregoing representations, warranties and confirmations are given for the benefit of the Company and finnCap. The agreement to settle a Purchaser's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Purchaser is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to the subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes, and is based on the warranty above from each Purchaser, that neither it, nor the person specified by it for registration as holder, of Placing Shares is, or is acting as nominee or agent for, and that the Placing Shares will not be allotted to, a person who is or may be liable to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax in excess of 0.5% under any of sections 67, 70, 93 and 96 of the Finance Act 1986 (depositary receipts and clearance services). If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event the Purchaser agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax, and neither the Company nor finnCap shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Purchaser should seek its own advice and notify finnCap accordingly;

(tt) no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company, finnCap or any person acting on behalf of the Company or finnCap that would, or is intended to, permit a public offering of the Placing Shares in any country or jurisdiction where any such action for that purpose is required;

(uu) it will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares;

(vv) finnCap or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Purchaser in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares;

(ww) when a Purchaser or person acting on behalf of the Purchaser is dealing with finnCap, any money held in an account with finnCap on behalf of the Purchaser and/or any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA;

(xx) it acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules and as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the finnCap's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the finnCap in the course of its own business; and the Purchaser will rank only as a general creditor of finnCap;

(yy) it acknowledges that all times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment and finnCap shall notify the Purchasers and any person acting on behalf of the Purchasers of any changes;

(zz) that past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser;

(aaa) all obligations entered into by the Purchaser pursuant hereto with finnCap are entered into with them as agent for the Company and are therefore enforceable directly by the Company;

(bbb) if a company, it is a valid and subsisting company and has all the necessary corporate capacity and authority to execute its obligations in connection with the Placing participation;

(ccc) it is not presently acting in concert, as defined in the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, with any existing shareholder or other Purchaser;

(ddd) it irrevocably appoints any director of finnCap as its agent for the purposes of executing and delivering to the Company's and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares offered to it; and

(eee) time shall be of the essence as regards obligations pursuant to this Appendix.

The Purchaser agrees that the Company and finnCap will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing confirmations, representations, warranties, acknowledgments, undertakings and agreements which are given by each Purchaser (or persons acting on their behalf) and are irrevocable.

9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The terms set out in this Appendix and the allocation of Placing Shares (including the subscription amount payable) as confirmed to a Purchaser, constitute the entire agreement to the terms of the Placing and a Purchaser's participation in the Placing to the exclusion of prior representations, understandings and agreements between them. Any variation of such terms must be in writing.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

The agreement arising out of acceptance of the Placing and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Placing or formation thereof (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. Each Purchaser irrevocably agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England to settle any claim or dispute that arises out of or in connection with the agreement arising out of acceptance of the Placing or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
