The information contained within this announcement is deemed by
the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 as it forms part of

Global Petroleum Limited
("Global" or "the Company")
Placing to raise GBP0.25 million.
Global Petroleum Limited (AIM: GBP) is pleased to announce that
it has successfully raised GBP250,000 in aggregate before costs
(the "Placing"), through the Placing of 250,000,000 Ordinary Shares
(the "Placing Shares") at a Placing Price of 0.1 pence per share.
The Placing Price is equivalent to a discount of 37.5% to the
closing price of the Company's shares on the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange on 30 August 2023, being the latest
practicable date prior to this announcement.
As a further component of the Placing, 250,000,000 Warrants are
also being issued at an exercise price of 0.1 pence per share for a
period of 3 years (1 Warrant for every 1 new Ordinary Shares issued
under the Placing). In the event the Warrants are exercised in due
course in full, associated proceeds would be GBP250,000 with the
result that the Company would have raised aggregate gross proceeds
of GBP500,000 at a weighted average price of 0.1 pence per
share.
CMC Markets ("CMC"), the Company's Joint Broker, acted as sole
broker in respect of the Placing.
Rationale for the Placing
Proceeds of the Placing will be used for further technical work
in relation to PEL 94, as previously communicated to the market, as
well as providing general working capital.
On 14 August 2023 Global announced that the Namibian Ministry of
Mines and Energy had given approval for the Company and its
partners to proceed to the First Renewal Period ("FRP") of Walvis
Basin licence PEL 94, with a duration of two years from September
2023 to September 2025.
Admission of and Dealings in the Placing Shares
Application will be made to AIM for the Placing Shares, which
will rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted
to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Dealings are expected to commence
on 6 September 2023 at 8.00 a.m.
Following Admission, the total issued share capital of the
Company will be 1,290,113,244 Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the
figure of 1,290,113,244 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules.
