BW Energy enters into new increased Reserve Based Lending facility

BW Energy is pleased to announce an up to USD 500 million Reserve Based Lending
(RBL) facility. The new facility replaces the USD 200 million RBL from 2022,
which was increased to USD 300 million in 2023. The funds will be used together
with cash-flow from operations to finance the further development of the
Company.

The facility has an initial commitment of USD 400 million, which can be expanded
with an additional USD 100 million. The senior secured long-term debt facility
matures on 1 October 2030.

"We are pleased to conclude the amend, extend and increase of the RBL with
strong interest from several international banks. The increased facility
provides further liquidity to finance BW Energy's development activities and
drive our future production growth and long-term value creation, at a
competitive interest margin," said Brice Morlot, the CFO of BW Energy.

Mauritius Commercial Bank Limited is the Facility Agent for the RBL facility,
while SCB and Rand Merchant Bank are Joint Technical banks. The syndicate
further includes NedBank Group and ABSA Group (documentation bank), alongside
SHELL, the offtaker of oil from the Dussafu license.
