Pantheon (LON: PANR), the AIM quoted oil and gas company with 100% working interests in certain projects located adjacent to transportation and pipeline infrastructure on the Alaska North Slope, is pleased to announce a conditional offer for subscription via PrimaryBid (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 65 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of 14.4 per cent to the closing mid-price on 7 December 2021. The Company is also conducting a placing of New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price by way of an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Bookbuild" and the "Placing") as announced earlier today. Certain investors will also be subscribing for new Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription Shares") at the Issue Price directly with the Company (the "Subscription").

The Retail Offer, Subscription and the Placing are conditional, amongst other things, on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer, the Subscription and the Placing being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to be take place at 8.00 a.m. on 13 December 2021. The Retail Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being completed.

The Company will use the funds raised in the Retail Offer towards further development of the Company's asset portfolio, which could include additional drilling, testing and completion, and the strengthening of its balance sheet ahead of future farm-out and/or financing negotiations.

The Retail Offer, via the PrimaryBid mobile app, will be open to individual and institutional investors following the release of this announcement. The Retail Offer will close on completion of the Bookbuild process. The Retail Offer may close early if it is oversubscribed.
