Correction to number of shares admitted to trading on AIM

Baron Oil Plc (AIM:BOIL), the AIM-quoted oil and gas exploration company focused on opportunities in SE Asia, Latin America and the UK, has identified that, due to administrative errors over the 2005 to 2010 period, the total number of ordinary shares of 0.025p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") that are in issue does not match the number of Ordinary Shares for which applications have been made for admission to trading on AIM. The Company has therefore applied for 53,975,250 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and the date on which Admission is expected to become effective is on or around 6 August 2020. The 53,975,250 Ordinary Shares that were omitted from admission to trading on AIM represent approximately 1.2% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Company's issued share capital consists of 4,426,409,576 Ordinary Shares and following the Admission of the 53,975,250 Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM this figure will remain unchanged from the Company's last total voting rights announcement which was made on 31 March 2020. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with full voting rights is 4,426,409,576. Following Admission, the number of Ordinary Shares admitted to trading on AIM will also be 4,426,409,576.
