NEWS RELEASE 16 March 2021

STACK Play Wells Acquired Significant Production Increase

Perth, Western Australia – 16 March 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with details of its agreement to purchase the well-bore interests (and associated PDP reserves) that are currently subject to its Drilling Joint Venture[1] in the STACK Play in the world-class Anadarko Basin.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Brookside has successfully concluded negotiations with the parties to the Drilling Joint Venture, to acquire eleven producing wells and the associated PDP reserves in the STACK Play

  • This acquisition will deliver an almost four-fold uplift to Brookside’s net daily production, with daily production increasing to ~110 net barrels of oil equivalent ( BOE ) post-closing of the acquisition[2]

  • Consideration for this acquisition (~US$2,000,000) will be satisfied via the issue of 125,000,000 fully paid ordinary Brookside shares which equates to ~US$8.30 per BOE acquired, a considerable discount to the current Forward Strip Pricing for oil and gas

  • This acquisition will deliver additional stable, long life production to the Company at an ideal time in the pricing cycle, making the deal highly accretive to shareholder value with considerable exposure to further upside as the outlook for oil and gas prices continues to improve

  • At closing the Drilling Joint Venture will be dissolved and Brookside will acquire 100% of the available Working Interest[3] in the relevant wells and the associated PDP reserves

Commenting on the announcement, Brookside Managing Director, David Prentice said:

“We are absolutely delighted to have successfully concluded these negotiations with Merchant Funds Management to acquire this high-quality low-decline production stream in the STACK Play.

“Merchant was a founding shareholder in Brookside and their commitment to supporting our strategy as both a large shareholder and joint venture partner has enabled us to grow and prosper through what has been one of the most challenging periods for our industry in over 100-years.

“We look forward to their continued support as we enter this next very exciting period of the Company’s growth as we kick-off the operated drilling pillar of our business and begin to unlock the very significant value we have built within our SWISH AOI DSUs.”

1 For further information on the Drilling Joint Venture please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 25 July 2016. 2 The parties have agreed the terms of this acquisition, completion of which will occur promptly after the Company’s general meeting of 1 April 2021. Completion and the issue of the Brookside shares as consideration for the acquisition is conditional upon the Company refreshing its capacity under the ASX Listing Rules at that meeting.

Background:

The acquisition of the Drilling Joint Venture well-bore interests and the associated production from some of the best producing wells in the STACK Play will be instantly accretive to Brookside’s balance sheet, bringing the total daily production to ~110 net BOE per day. This low-cost acquisition shows Brookside’s dedication to increasing shareholder value via a strict adherence to its three pillar strategy and the ability of the team to deliver on that strategy.

Brookside has extensive technical experience with these wells and a good working relationship with the operators through its current working interest as a partner in the STACK Joint Venture. This goes a long way to de-risking the purchase of producing assets and having a very high confidence that these wells will perform as expected for the long term.

By purchasing this production at ~US$8.30 per BOE (a considerable discount to current commodity prices), Brookside can instantly benefit from the current commodity pricing with upside exposure to future price increases. Furthermore, with activity increasing in the STACK Play, Brookside will be well placed to participate in any future development of its PUD acreage in this area.

Development Unit
or DSU
Development Unit or drilling spacing unit is the geographical area in which an initial oil and/or gas
well is drilled and produced from the geological formation listed in a spacing order. The spacing unit
communitizes all interest owners for the purpose of sharing in production from oil and/or gas wells in
the unit. A spacing order establishes the size of the unit; names the formations included in the unit;
divides the ownership of the unit for the formations into the “royalty interest” and the “working interest”;
Only one well can be drilled and completed in each common source of supply. Additional wells may
be drilled in a Development Unit, but only after an Increased Density Order is issued by the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission.
Force Pooled The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is authorized to establish well spacing and drilling units
covering any common source of supply of hydrocarbons, or any prospective common source
of supply. Once the unit is established, the Commission can force pool the interests of all the
owners who own interests in that unit and who have not voluntarily joined in the development
of that unit.
