Result of Fundraise

Sintana Energy Secures Capital for Namibia Drilling Amidst Strong Liquidity Position

Executive Summary
  • Sintana Energy conditionally raised US$11.5 million through a placing and subscription on May 18, 2026.
  • The fundraise was conducted at a 13.5% discount to the closing middle market price on AIM as of May 14, 2026.
  • Proceeds are earmarked for drilling at the Nabba-1 exploration well (PEL 90), acquisitions in the Walvis Basin and Angolan Kwanza basin, and operational activities scheduled for 2026-2027.
  • Total new shares issued: 38,001,253 shares at an issue price of 22.5 pence per share on AIM; C$0.41 per share on TSXV.
  • Director participation includes CEO Robert Bose and President Eytan Uliel investing US$250,000 each.
  • Post-admission capital structure will total 554,582,493 common shares in issue.
  • AIM admission is expected to become effective with trading commencing on or around May 27, 2026.
Material Impact
  • The financing confirms the execution of the offering announced on May 15, 2026; therefore, it is not unexpected market-moving news but rather a confirmation of known capital raising plans.
  • Liquidity position improves significantly: combining existing cash ($8.2M), pending Exxon settlement ($6M expected by year-end), and new proceeds ($11.5M) provides over $25M in available funds for operations.
  • Dilution is moderate at approximately 7% increase to the share count (38M new shares vs ~516M pre-fundraise base).
  • Management skin-in-the-game ($500k total investment by CEO and President) signals confidence but is small relative to the raise size.
  • The discount of 13.5% is standard for junior exploration financings but represents a slight immediate value transfer from existing shareholders to new investors.
  • Use of proceeds targets high-priority drilling (Nabba-1) and acquisitions, which are necessary catalysts for valuation growth rather than just survival.
