Variation of Loan Note Agreements
“Extension to September 2027 provides financial flexibility to
pursue multiple, immediate growth opportunities”
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Key Points:
The revised terms apply to fifteen five (15) Loan Notes of A$50,000 each (A$750,000
in total), originally issued in July 2023. Ten (10) Loan Notes of A$50,000 each
(A$500,000 in total) will be repaid on the repayment date of 31 March 2026.
The repayment date of the A$750,000 principal has been extended to 30 September
2027. Existing options previously issued in relation to the Loan Notes will lapse on 31
March 2026. New options will be granted to the Loan Note holders who have executed
variation agreements.
The agreement by the Loan Note holders to extend repayment provides ADX with the
financial flexibility to pursue multiple identified growth opportunities and reposition the
Company for further drilling and development activities.
ADX will immediately focus on the following near term value development and
strategic growth opportunities:
Ongoing well testing and evaluation work at the Welchau-1 light oil and gas
discovery;
Drilling the HOCH -1 shallow gas well in Upper Austria;
Well site preparation and materials for two already permitted additional shallow
gas exploration wells in Upper Austria;
Finalisation of Anshof near field prospects for permitting and drilling;
Ongoing farmout activities for 100% held shallow gas wells and nearfield oil
prospects;
Further seismic and drilling data purchases for Sicily Channel permit
culminating in a third party resources assessment; and
Dual listing on Oslo Børs’ Euronext Growth market to improve liquidity,
recognition in energy hungry European markets and broaden ADX’s
shareholder base.

ADX Energy Ltd (ASX Code: ADX) is pleased to advise that it has entered into deeds of variation with the
Loan Note holders in relation to 15 Loan Notes of A$50,000 each totalling A$750,000 (Loan Notes). The
Loan Note funding was originally used for to fund drilling and development activities in upper Austria. Ten
(10) Loan Notes of A$50,000 each (A$500,000 in total) will be repaid on the repayment date of 31 March
2026.
The variation to the Loan Note terms provides funding flexibility to ADX allowing to utilise its current cash
to fund the following asset development program:
Austrian Activities
Welchau light oil and gas discovery
A 3.5 fold prospective resource upgrade in gas condensate resources was recently announced in March
2026 together with the definition of an updip light oil accumulation.
Flow testing in February 2026 confirmed a productive hydrocarbon system after recovering 43.6° API light
oil and hydrocarbon gas to surface from the Reifling Formation
Technical analysis of the test results suggests an oil-water contact exists below the Reifling Formation with
the crest of the structure mapped approximately 500 metres updip of the Welchau-1 well where a
significant updip light oil accumulation has been identified.
Pressure data indicates that the primary deep gas-condensate objective defined by the down dip Molln-1
discovery (which tested gas condensate in 1989) remains untested. The gas condensate resource
potential is a major future goal that can be reached by deepening the Welchau-1 well by approximately
700 metres.
Shallow gas drilling program
ADX has permitted three shallow gas prospects for drilling and has up to seven follow up targets within its
acreage.
An immediate operational catalyst is the HOCH-1 shallow gas exploration well which is scheduled to spud
in early April 2026 HOCH-1.
Follow-up targets include the GOLD-1 and SCHOE-1 prospects which were selected for their high
probability of success. The GOLD-1 prospect has a probability of success greater than 80% and is located
in a cluster with the ZAUN and GRAB prospects. These shallow gas targets utilize a 99% pure methane
biogenic gas play that enables simple and rapid development due to low costs and close proximity to open
access pipeline infrastructure.
Anshof near field oil
In addition to the shallow gas prospects the Company is a maturing a number of oil targets in close
proximity to the Anshof field and ADX 3000 BPD capacity production facility for drilling in late 2026 or early
2027.
Italian Activities
Sicily Channel Offshore Permit
ADX reported a 31% increase in prospective gas resources for the C.R 150.AU Permit in December 2025
following the identification of new prospects and leads.
The resource upgrade incorporated new data from the nearby Lippone-Mazara producing gas field and
recovery assumptions from the ENI operated Argo, Cassiopea, and Gemini fields
Three additional prospects were added to the prospect inventory further increasing volume estimates.
The permit is strategically located in shallow water (100m) and is less than 50km from the Mazara onshore

tie-in point for efficient market access.
Gas has been identified on high quality existing 2D seismic as well as in a number of deeper historic oil
wells that intersected shallower gas while exploring for deeper oil in the 80’s. The Miocene gas reservoirs
being targeted are biogenic in nature (99% methane) thereby simplifying any future development.
Under the revised terms, the repayment period has been extended to 30 September 2027. The revised
terms for the Loan Notes are summarised as follows:
