Loxley update

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) has been informed that, in another preliminary court hearing sought by opponents of the Company's material Loxley conventional gas and hydrogen feedstock project in Surrey, the judge, Mr. Justice Lane, dismissed five of the opponent's grounds seeking to reverse the Secretary of State's grant of planning consent as being unarguable. Two remaining grounds were given leave to be argued at a further hearing at some time in the future, as yet unknown. As per the Company's recent RNS of 21st February 2023, full planning and environmental consents remain in force for the Loxley-1 appraisal programme.

Stephen Sanderson, UKOG's Chief Executive, commented:

"The Company's legal team remain robustly confident that following the extensive Loxley public inquiry, the Secretary of State's decision to grant planning consent was thoroughly considered and entirely lawful. Consequently, we will continue to move our project ahead."
