Mr Griffiths is owed £323,785 from the capitalisation of his loans in May 2023, which is detailed as a current liability in the company’s financial statement for 2025.

The sum was originally payable on either a flow rate of one million cubic feet of gas per day (MMcf/d) achieved from any gas well on its Guercif licence, onshore Morocco, or a flow rate of 100 barrels of oil per day (bopd) from any well in its operations in Trinidad.

Predator today said it would settle 40% (£129,514) of the liability, through the issue of shares to Mr Griffiths.

The remaining 60%, equal to £194,271, will be payable upon the earlier of a stabilised flow rate of more than 3MMcf/d gas from the MOU-6 well at Guercif, or an oil rate higher than 200 bopd from the Snowcap-3 well in Trinidad.

Following admission, the company’s issued share capital will comprise 904,438,190 ordinary shares, of no par value, each with one vote and none held in treasury.
