Fundraising Update Interview

Afentra plc ("Afentra" or the "Company") (AIM: AET), the upstream oil and gas company focused on acquiring production and development assets in Africa, in conjunction with the Retail Offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform announced earlier today, has today published an interview with Paul McDade, CEO of Afentra, providing background to the Placing and Retail Offer (the "Fundraising Update").

The interview can be accessed via: https://www.afentraplc.com/investors-rapidly-evolving-african-energy-landscape/Fundraising-Update-Interview/

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in the text of this Announcement have the meanings given in the Company's announcements related to the Placing and Retail Offer, dated 3 June 2026 and 4 June 2026.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for Ordinary Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks, including the risk that investors may lose their entire investment. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get back less than the amount invested.

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.
