The following amendment has been made to the 'Acquisition of
Dyas BV' announcement released on 24 May 2018 at 07.00 under RNS No
1068P.
The headings in the table in the appendix were originally

All other details remain unchanged.
The full amended text is shown below.
24 May 2018
RockRose Energy plc ("RockRose", the "Group" or the
"Company")
Acquisition of Dyas BV for EUR EUR107m: Non-operated gas
production in the Netherlands
RockRose Energy plc is pleased to announce that it has signed a
Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire the entire issued and to be
issued share capital of Dyas B.V. (the "Acquisition"), which owns
the non-operated, Netherlands gas and condensate producing assets
of the Dyas group of companies, for a total consideration of EUR
EUR107 million. The Dyas group of companies is wholly owned by SHV
Holdings N.V., a family-owned Dutch multinational.
The Acquisition, which has an effective date of 1st January
2018, will be funded from existing cash resources with no debt or
equity issuance or shareholder approval required. There will be a
significant working capital adjustment at completion.
The Acquisition adds a further 13 MMboe net developed reserves
(with material undeveloped and prospective resource upside) and
over 5,000 boepd of production to the Group. Post completion
RockRose estimates combined Group 1P reserves of approximately 23
MMboe and 2018 pro-forma production in excess of 10,000 boepd. The
Group's production will be circa 60% gas and 40% oil.
Both the existing asset base and those assets to be acquired
have incremental opportunities which the Board believe could add
significantly to the Group's reserve base and maintain current
production for at least the next five years, with Rockrose's
portion of the associated capex to be funded from the Group's
operating cash flow.
Andrew Austin, Executive Chairman of RockRose Energy said:
"On completion this acquisition grows our North Sea business to
a level of production that is over 10,000 boepd and in addition to
providing significant free cash flow diversifies the portfolio and
strengthens the Company's position. Management sees significant
upside in the combined portfolio and is confident RockRose can
organically maintain or grow profitable production from these
levels without necessitating additional funding."
Robert Baurdoux, CEO of Dyas, said:
"After a presence of over 50 years in the Netherlands, the
divestment of our Dutch entities is part of a strategic refocussing
of our business. RockRose Energy is well placed to take-on the
stewardship of the Dutch assets, allowing Dyas to pursue new
investment opportunities in the UK, Norway, Denmark and
Malaysia."
GMP FirstEnergy acted as exclusive financial advisor to
Dyas.
Competent person: Technical information in this announcement has
been reviewed by Dr Richard Benmore, B.Sc, M. Sc, Ph.D, who is a
Director of the Company. Richard has 35 years of experience in the
Oil and Gas industry with Conoco, Oryx Energy, Nimir Petroleum,
