Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc

("Lansdowne" or the "Company")

Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

Pursuant to the announcement made on 26 April 2010, 3,520,000 ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") have been issued to Mr Thomas Anderson. 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is anticipated that admission will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 5th May 2010. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu, in all respects, with the existing Ordinary Shares that are currently in issue and are traded on AIM. Following admission of these shares, there will be a total of 38,626,987 Ordinary Shares in issue.

 As the Company has no shares held in Treasury the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 38,626,987.

The above figure of 38,626,987 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
