HORIZON PETROLEUM LTD. ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE FINANCING

Horizon Petroleum Ltd. has launched an additional financing of convertible debentures.

The closing date is anticipated to be on and before April 15, 2026.

Dr. David Winter, chief executive officer of the company, commented: "We are offering an additional convertible debenture financing given continued investor interest in the company's European gas strategy and the exciting gas development program at Lachowice in southern Poland. The proceeds will pay for the civil works for the planned re-entry of the Lachowice 7 gas well, provide working capital for general corporate purposes in Poland and in Canada, and to repay existing liabilities."

The debenture bears interest from the applicable issuance date at 7 per cent per annum until the date that is 24 months following the closing date with interest paid semi-annually in arrears in cash or in shares at the company's option. The debenture will be secured and ranking on default in fourth position behind the currently issued debentures due on May 20, 2026, the convertible debentures due on Dec. 19, 2027, Dec. 29, 2027, and Feb. 27, 2028, and the convertible debentures due on March 25, 2028.

Each holder of a debenture unit shall have the right, at its option, at any time up to and including the maturity date, to convert any or all of the debenture units into equity units on the basis of each $1,000 principal amount for: (i) 9,524 common shares of the corporation issued at 10.5 cents per common share; and (ii) 4,762 common share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable until 36 months from closing the debentures, into one common share at a price of 15 cents.
