FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 March 2022

CAPRICORN ENERGY PLC ("Capricorn" or the "Company")

Interests of Directors / Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs") in the Company's Shares

1. Grant of 2022 Awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (2017)

Capricorn announces that, on 11 March 2022, the following Awards (in the form of "nil-cost" options) over its ordinary shares of 21/13 pence each ("Shares") were made under the Long Term Incentive Plan approved by shareholders in 2017 (the "2017 LTIP") to the undernoted Executive Directors and PDMRs of the Company:

Executive Director / PDMR Number of Shares
Simon Thomson, Chief Executive 779,627
James Smith, Chief Financial Officer 507,073
Eric Hathon, Director of Exploration 417,706
Paul Mayland, Chief Operating Officer 435,946

All Shares were awarded at £1.957 per Share, being the mid-market closing price of a Share on 10 March 2022. The vesting of the Awards (which, in the case of the Executive Directors, have been granted in accordance with the Company's directors' remuneration policy that was approved at the 2020 AGM) depends upon the extent to which specified performance conditions are met over a three-year performance period. Following any such vesting, Awards will be subject to a further "holding period" during which they cannot be exercised; in the case of the Awards noted above, this period will not expire until the second anniversary of the vesting date.

2. Summary of current holdings of Executive Directors / PDMRs

Following the grant of the above Awards, the Executive Directors' and PDMRs' beneficial interests in the Shares of the Company are as follows:
