i3 Energy plc

("i3" or the "Company")

Amended Loan Note Terms

i3 Energy plc, an independent oil and gas company with assets and operations in the UK, is pleased to announce that holders of its Unsecured Convertible Loan Notes ("CLNs") of £521,456 have today agreed to extend the term of the CLNs to 31 October 2018, thereby amending the maturity date of the CLNs from 25 August 2018 to 31 October 2018 (the "Extension") in order to allow the Company to deploy existing resources towards time-critical elements of its Liberator development.

All other terms of the CLNs remain unchanged as originally disclosed in the Company's Admission Document, being principally that the CLNs will be redeemed by the Company at 135% of par at maturity. Alternatively, noteholders have the option to convert their CLNs at any time prior to maturity at USD 0.54 per ordinary share of 0.01 pence each in the Company.

Related Party Transaction

The Extension constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies by virtue of Mr. Richard Ames and Mr. Neill Carson, directors of the Company, who each hold £155,032 and £112,782 CLNs respectively.

Accordingly, the Company's directors, other than Mr. Ames and Mr. Carson, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, WH Ireland Limited, consider that the terms of the Extension are fair and reasonable insofar as the interests of shareholders are concerned.
