("Reabold" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
Reabold Resources plc, the oil & gas investing company with a diversified portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development projects, is pleased to announce that the resolutions put to shareholders at its General Meeting held earlier today, in connection with the proposed authority to buyback ordinary shares, Capital Reduction and adoption of new articles of association, were duly passed.
Accordingly, the Company's adoption of the New Articles has now become effective, and the Company has now been granted Buyback Authority. This gives the Board flexibility in determining the mechanism it wishes to use to make a distribution to shareholders, with such distribution intended to be implemented following receipt of the second tranche of funds from the Corallian Sale. The Capital Reduction remains subject to Court approval and it remains the Company's expectation that registration of the Court Order and effective date of the Capital Reduction will be 28 March 2023.
Further announcement(s) will be made in due course.

Notes to Editors
Reabold Resources plc has a diversified portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development oil & gas projects. Reabold's strategy is to invest in low-risk, near-term projects which it considers to have significant valuation uplift potential, with a clear monetisation plan, where receipt of such proceeds will be returned to shareholders and re-invested into further growth projects. This strategy is illustrated by the recent sale of the undeveloped Victory gas field to Shell, the proceeds of which are being returned to shareholders and re-invested.
