Wildcat Petroleum, a company targeting investment opportunities in business and assets within the upstream sector of the petroleum industry, has announced the placing of 18,040,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 1.25p raising £225,500, net £211,970. The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares. The Company intends to allot and issue these new ordinary shares under its existing authorities on a non pre-emptive basis.

The Company will be making its application to admit the new ordinary shares to the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market (Standard List) of the LSE. Admission is expected to occur on 1 November 2022.

Conditional on Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will be 2,428,040,000 ordinary shares, which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Mandhir Singh, Chairman of Wildcat, commented:  
"The company is delighted to have raised additional funds to strengthen the balance sheet in difficult market conditions."

In a separate announcement, Wildcat announced that Waterford Finance and Investment has completed its subscription of 10,000,000 new ordinary shares, as previously announced on 3 October 2022.
