The retail offer, at a price of 3.9 pence per ordinary share, is part of the proposed £3.5 million fundraise, announced in October 2025.

The company, which is currently a cash shell with its shares suspended from trading, signed a share purchase agreement in October 2025 with investor Reabold Resources plc, which owns 46.2% in LNEnergy Ltd.

LNEnergy manages and owns 100% of Italian company LNE Srl, which has a 90% interest in Colle Santo.

Beacon aims to issue an admission document on or around 12 February, followed by admission to trading on or around 27 February 2026. 

A final investment decision on the project is expected in mid-2026, with first gas in late 2027.
