With the vesting of the RS Awards, 50,570 ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company have been issued on 18 March 2024 to A. Paul Blakeley, Executive Director, President and CEO of Jadestone. The original RS Awards reflected a decision by Mr Blakeley to receive a portion of his annual base salary in the form of restricted share units to provide greater alignment with shareholders.

The FCA notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, is appended below and gives further details on the transaction described above.
Admission
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the RS Awards to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become effective, and that dealings will commence, when the current share suspension is lifted and the Company's shares recommence trading on AIM.
Total Voting Rights
Following the vesting of the RS Awards, the Company will have 540,817,144 Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares) of £0.001 par value each in issue, and no Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 540,817,144.

About Jadestone Energy
Jadestone Energy plc is an independent oil and gas company focused on the Asia-Pacific region. It has a balanced and increasingly diversified portfolio of production and development assets in Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, all stable jurisdictions with a positive upstream investment climate.
Led by an experienced management team with a track record of delivery, who were core to the successful growth of Talisman Energy's business in Asia-Pacific, the Company is pursuing a strategy to grow and diversify the Company's production base both organically, through developments such at Akatara in Indonesia and Nam Du/U Minh in Vietnam, as well as through acquisitions that fit within Jadestone's financial framework and play to the Company's strengths in managing maturing oil assets. Jadestone delivers value in its acquisition strategy by enhancing returns through operating efficiencies, cost reductions and increased production through further investment.
Jadestone is a responsible operator and well positioned for the energy transition through its increasing gas production, by maximising recovery from existing brownfield developments and through its Net Zero pledge on Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions from operated assets by 2040. This strategy is aligned with the IEA Net Zero by 2050 scenario, which stresses the necessity of continued investment in existing upstream assets to avoid an energy crisis and meet demand for oil and gas through the energy transition.
