PetroNor E&P Limited
(“PetroNor” or the “Company”)

Issuance of Tranche 2a and Tranche 2b Private Placement Offer Shares, Subsequent
Offering update, mandatory notification of trade and mandatory disclosure of
shareholdings

PetroNor (OSE ticker: “PNOR”), the independent oil and gas exploration and
production company with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa, provides the following
corporate update.

Issuance of Tranche 2a and Tranche 2b Private Placement Offer Shares

Reference is made to the announcement released by PetroNor on 12 March 2021,
regarding completion of a NOK 340 million Private Placement associated with the
acquisition of an additional interest in PNGF Sud, Congo. The 224,727,273
ordinary shares related to Tranche 2a and 2b of the Private Placement have now
been issued, whereof:

138,763,636 ordinary shares for Tranche 2a of the Private Placement issued in
kind as consideration for the Symero transaction, and
85,963,637 ordinary shares for Tranche 2b of the Private Placement issued for
cash.

The shares issued under Tranche 2a and 2b have been issued under a separate ISIN
(ISIN AU0000140857) and will remain unlisted until the Listing Prospectus is
approved by the FSA and published by the Company.

Subsequent Offering update

As previously referenced in the announcement dated 12 March 2021, the Company
continues to contemplate a Subsequent Offering of new shares without tradable
subscription rights of up to 60,000,000 new shares in the Company at a
subscription price of NOK 1.10 per share. The contemplated Subsequent Offering
will be directed towards existing shareholders of the Company as of close of
trading on Oslo Euronext Expand on 11 March 2021 (record date 15 March 2021).
The final decision on the Subsequent Offering will be dictated inter alia by the
share price at the time of issuing the Listing Prospectus.

Listing Prospectus Timing

A combined Listing Prospectus for listing of the Offer Shares in Tranche 2a and
Tranche 2b and for the offering of shares in the contemplated Subsequent
Offering has been filed with the FSA and the Company is awaiting the second
round of feedback. The requirement to prepare pro forma information for the now
complete transaction with Svenska Petroleum Exploration AB, and transactions
subject to completion with Panoro Energy ASA and Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum
Company Ltd, have added complexity and input necessary from third parties to
prepare the Listing Prospectus, which was submitted to the FSA in June. The
Company has been informed that the FSA is presently dealing with a backlog of
prospectuses and a busy pipeline of activity during the summer vacation period,
and the process is therefore taking longer than previously anticipated.

The Company will provide the market with an update as soon as it has received
feedback on the prospectus.
Commenting on the update, CEO Knut Søvold said:

“We are pleased to have completed the private placement and look forward to
putting the capital to work in line with our stated growth strategy.

As a reminder, the acquisition of an additional interest in PNGF Sud, Congo and
the associated private placement strengthen our growth platform with solid
production and strong free cash flow, delivering a material impact to our
financials. The transactions also provide us with the necessary funding to cover
our enhanced share of the infill drilling programme at PNGF Sud which is
intended to further boost production and prove up reserves from this quality
asset. We are very pleased with the timing of these transactions given the
improving macro backdrop of strong oil prices which enhance the economics of the
project on a go forward basis, as well as the value accretive nature of the
transactions for our shareholders.”

Mandatory Notification of Trade

On 15 March 2021, the Company advised that the Private Placement allocation to
Petromal Sole Proprietorship LLC (“Petromal”) was corrected due to a rounding in
the USD/NOK rate used for conversion of the USD 18 million subscription by
Symero. As a result, Petromal’s allocation was reduced by 380,909 shares. To
offset this reduced allocation, on 8 July 2021, Petromal purchased 380,909
shares for NOK 419,000, equivalent to NOK 1.10 per share, from SpareBank 1
Markets AS. Following this purchase, Petromal owns a total of 481,481,666 shares
in the Company.

Mandatory Disclosure of Shareholdings

The Company had 1,056,028,924 ordinary shares prior to the issue of shares for
Tranche 2a and 2b of the Private Placement. Following the issuance of the
Tranche 2a and 2b shares, the Company has 1,280,756,197 ordinary shares in
issue. Following iussue of the Tranche 2a shares, Symero Ltd, a 100% owned
subsidiary of NOR Energy AS, has increased its shareholding in the Company from
0 (zero) to 138,763,636 shares, representing 10.8% of the total issued shares in
the Company, Symero Ltd thus crossing the 10% threshold for disclosure of
shareholdings. NOR Energy AS, through own holding of shares in the Company and
the shares owned by Symero Ltd, has increased its ownership and control over
shares in the Company from 143,555,857 to a total of 282,319,493, which
represents 22% of the total shares issued by the Company. NOR Energy AS has
thereby crossed the 20% threshold for disclosure of shareholdings.
