RENERGEN QUARTERLY UPDATE


Fiscal Q2 2026 Highlights:
   • Progress on merger: All ASPI scheme conditions fulfilled, deadline extended to
     accommodate regulatory approvals
   • Financial and coexistence settlement reached with Springbok Solar Power Plant
   • Enhancements to geological data

Progress on Merger with ASP Isotopes

The following key milestones on the merger between Renergen and ASP Isotopes (ASPI),
as announced on 20 May 2025, have subsequently been achieved:
    • Renergen shareholders voted in favour of the merger.
    • South African Competition Authorities approved the merger.
    • All Scheme conditions have been fulfilled.
    • ASPI extended the deadline for the fulfilment of the remaining offer conditions
        precedent to 28 November 2025.

ASP Isotopes and Renergen remain fully committed to the merger and the various teams are
progressing well on closing out the final offer conditions precedent. Final regulatory approvals
from South Africa is the primary gating item before the merger will be complete.

Springbok Solar Financial Settlement

As communicated via SENS announcement on 22 September 2025, the Company and
Springbok Solar Project have executed both a Settlement and Co-Existence Agreement. The
agreements became unconditional post the period in review. The settlement between
Renergen and Springbok not only provides clarity and avoids further litigation but also
establishes a framework for both projects to progress constructively. This outcome
underscores the importance of collaboration between the renewable energy and mineral and
petroleum rights holders on multi-use land rights, paving the way for future cooperative
efforts.

Key Outcomes of the Agreement
   •   The parties have formalised both a financial settlement payable to Tetra4, and a
       coexistence agreement that allows both the Virginia Gas Project and the Springbok
       Solar Project to operate within the designated area, with clear protocols for ongoing
       communication and operational coordination. Both the Virginia Gas Project and the
       Springbok Solar Project to operate within the designated area, with clear protocols for
       ongoing communication and operational coordination.
   •   A public apology has been issued by Springbok Solar to Tetra4.
   •   Tetra4 will retain the exclusive rights conferred to it within the Production Right outside
       of the agreed boundary of the Springbok Solar Project facility to explore and produce
       area.
   •   The parties will continue to engage and consult in terms of all applicable legislation
       and regulations on future development and expansion of both companies' continued
       development in the Free State.

LNG production

LNG production reduced to 987 tons produced in the quarter compared to 1,311 tons from
the previous quarter's production. During the period, the maintenance team have brought
forward additional planned maintenance scheduled for later in the year in order to reduce
downtime across the facility when production has been substantially increased as new wells
are tied in.

Helium production

As has been previously stated, helium becomes economically viable once the flow rate has
increased from the additional wells being tied in. We have therefore not run the helium
operations in order to reduce operating costs on the helium.

Exploration

Geology & Geophysics

Tetra4 shot and acquired additional Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) data on an additional
property where our most successful producing well is located during the months of May to
August 2025.

VSP data is of particular use as it is anchored within legacy 2D and 3D seismic data shot by
third parties. Acquisition and processing are complete and initial interpretation by external
consultants is underway. Preliminary interpretation of gas indicated extensive fracturing and
faulting at depth as well as fracture nests (interconnected fracture networks), which are hosts
to gas accumulations.

The seismic response of known "historic" producers and the existing producing well, has been
reviewed against the seismic response and corroborate the finding that hydrocarbon
accumulations are associated with fracture nests fed from deeper seated faults below.

Exploration Drilling

Based on the additional VSP and review of the seismic response against historic and existing
producers, a further thirteen (13) target locations have been identified. These drilling targets
share sub-surface characteristics of seismic responses and are aimed at intersecting a series
of fracture nests, fed from deep seated faults below the Ventersdorp (Figure 2).
In total, the Company spent R36.1 million in the quarter on drilling, exploration and the
abovementioned analysis of the resource.

Exploration wells spudded and being drilled as of August 2025 are listed in the table below:

               Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report

           The US Dollar (US$) denominated loans and debentures included in the amount disclosed
           above were translated at a rate of R17.671/US$1 on 31 August 2025.

           DFC Loan

           Tetra4 entered into a US$40.0 million finance agreement with the US International
           Development Finance Corporation ("DFC") on 20 August 2019 ("Facility Agreement"). The
           first draw down of US$20.0 million took place in September 2019, the second draw down of
           US$12.5 million in June 2020 and the final drawdown of US$7.5 million on 28 September
           2021. Tetra4 shall repay the loan in equal quarterly instalments of US$1.08 million (R19.1
           million using the rate at 31 Aug 2025) on each payment date which began on 1 August 2022
           and will end on 15 August 2031. The loan is secured by Tetra4's physical assets and the Debt
           Service Reserve Account ("DSRA").

           The first drawdown of $20.0 million attracts interest of 2.11% per annum. Interest on the
           second and final drawdowns is 1.49% and 1.24% per annum, respectively. Interest is payable
           by Tetra4 to the DFC quarterly on 15 February, 15 May, 15 August and 15 November of each
           year ("Repayment Dates") for the duration of the loan. Interest accrued and paid during the
           quarter totalled US$0.12 million (R2.1 million).

           A guarantee fee of 4% per annum is payable by Tetra4 to the DFC on any outstanding loan
           balance. The guarantee fee is payable quarterly on the Repayment Dates. Tetra4 paid
           guarantee fees totalling US$0.27 million (R4.8 million) during the quarter.

           A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum was payable by Tetra4 to the DFC on any undisbursed
           amounts under the Facility Agreement. There was no commitment fee due during the quarter
           as there were no undrawn amounts during the period.

           An annual maintenance fee of US$0.04 million is payable by Tetra4 to the DFC for the
           duration of the loan term and is payable on 15 November of each year, and commenced on
           15 November 2020. The maintenance fee covers administrative costs relating to the loan.
           There were no maintenance fees due during the quarter.

           As at 31 August 2025 the outstanding principal amount of the DFC loan totalled US$25.9
           million (R458.5 million).

           IDC Loan

           Tetra4 entered into a R160.7 million loan agreement with the Industrial Development
           Corporation ("IDC") on 17 December 2021. An amount of R158.8 million was drawn down on
           22 December 2021 and is repayable in 102 equal monthly payments which commenced in
           June 2023. The loan terms included a 12-month interest capitalisation and an 18-month
           capital repayment moratorium. The loan accrues interest at the prime lending rate plus 3.5%
           (14.00% on 31 August 2025) and is secured by a pledge of Tetra4's physical assets and the
           DSRA. The IDC loan outstanding on 31 August 2025 amounted to R156.5 million and interest
           accrued during the quarter amounted to R5.6 million. Qualifying interest attributable to assets
           under construction, within property, plant and equipment, is capitalised in line with the policy
           of the Group.

               Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report

           Debt covenants

           The following debt covenants apply to the DFC loan:

           a) Tetra4 is required to maintain at all times i) a ratio of all interest bearing Debt to EBITDA
              of not more than 3.0 to 1; (ii) a ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities of not less
              than 1 to 1; and (iii) a Reserve Tail Ratio of not less than 25%.

           (b) Tetra4 is required to maintain at all times (i) a ratio of Cash Flow for the most recently
               completed four (4) consecutive full fiscal quarters, taken as a single accounting period, to
               Debt Service for the most recently completed four (4) consecutive full fiscal quarters,
               taken as a single accounting period, of not less than 1.30 to 1; and (ii) a ratio of Cash
               Flow for the most recently completed four (4) consecutive full fiscal quarters, taken as a
               single accounting period, to Debt Service for the next succeeding four (4) consecutive full
               fiscal quarters of not less than 1.3 to 1.

           (c) Tetra4 is required to ensure that the DSRA is funded in the aggregate of all amounts due
               to the DFC within the next 6 months.

           The covenants in a) and b) were expected to apply from 15 August 2025. Tetra4 has
           requested an extension of the effective date and is awaiting approval from the DFC. At 31
           August 2025, Tetra4 has complied with the covenant under c) above for the quarter and
           believes that it will be able to comply with the covenants throughout the tenure of the loan.

           The following debt covenants apply to the IDC loan:

           a) Tetra4 is required to maintain the same financial and reserve tail ratios, and DSRA as
              mentioned under the DFC loan.

           b) In addition, Tetra4 shall not make any shareholder dividend distribution, repay any
              shareholders' loans and/or pay any interest on shareholders' loans or make any payments
              whatsoever to its shareholders without the IDC's prior written consent, if:

                 -   Tetra4 is in breach of any term of the loan agreement; or

                 -   the making of such payment would result in a breach of any one or more of the
                     financial ratios above.

           The covenants in a) were expected to apply from 15 August 2025. Tetra has since received
           an extension from the IDC, with the new effective date set for 15 February 2026. Tetra4 was
           in compliance with the covenant under b) above for the quarter and believes that it will be
           able to comply with the covenants throughout the tenure of the loan. Tetra4 also maintains a
           DSRA with respect to the IDC loan.

           "Reserve Tail Ratio" means for any calculation date, the quotient obtained by dividing (a) all
           of the Borrower's remaining Proved Reserves as of such calculation date by (b) all of the
           Borrower's Proved Reserves as of the date of the Facility Agreement.

           Molopo loan

           Tetra4 entered into a R50.0 million loan agreement with Molopo on 11 April 2014. The loan
           term was for an initial period of 10 financial years and 6 months which commenced on 1 July
           2014 (was repayable on 31 August 2024). During this period, the loan was unsecured and
           interest free. As the loan was not repaid on 31 August 2024, it now accrues interest at the
           prime lending rate plus 2% (12.50% on 31 August 2025). The loan can only be repaid when
           Tetra4 declares a dividend and utilising a maximum of 36% of the distributable profits in order
           to pay the dividend. It is not expected that the loan will be repaid in the next 12 months given
           the unavailability of distributable profits based on Tetra4's most recent forecasts. As such, the
           loan is classified as long term.

                                                                                        Appendix 5B
               Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report

           The loan accrued interest amounting to R1.8 million for the quarter (at an average rate of
           12.67%). The Molopo loan outstanding on 31 August 2025 amounted to R56.5 million.
           On 14 November 2024 Molopo initiated legal proceedings against Tetra4 in the High Court of
           South Africa, Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg, by issuing summons alleging a breach
           of contract when Renergen sold the 5.5% stake in Tetra4 to Mahlako Gas Energy Proprietary
           Limited ("MGE"). The claim pertains to a written loan agreement concluded between Molopo,
           as the lender, and Tetra4, as the borrower, on or about 11 April 2014. As a consequence,
           Molopo has purported to cancel the loan agreement, which cancellation is disputed by Tetra4
           on the basis that the investment by MGE did not constitute a payment by Tetra4 to its parent
           in the sale. According to the Lead Times Bulletin for the High Court in Gauteng the soonest
           hearing date is estimated to only take place in four years and three months, hence the loan
           continues to be classified as non-current.
           Unsecured Convertible Debentures
           Renergen entered into a US$7.0 million unsecured convertible debenture subscription
           agreement ("Subscription Agreement") with AIRSOL SRL ("AIRSOL"), an Italian wholly-
           owned subsidiary of SOL S.p.A ("SOL"), on 30 August 2023 for the subscription by AIRSOL
           in Renergen debentures in two tranches of US$3.0 million ("Tranche 1") and US$4.0 million
           ("Tranche 2"). Tranche 1 proceeds were received on 30 August 2023 and on 18 March 2024
           AIRSOL subscribed for Tranche 2 debentures and Renergen received US$4.0 million.
           The debentures include a contractual maturity date, which initially was 28 February 2025 and,
           pursuant to an amendment, is currently 31 August 2025, subject to the terms of the
           Subscription Agreement (as amended) and the related Helium Sale and Purchase Agreement
           between Tetra4 (Renergen's subsidiary) and SOL. The debentures accrue interest at a rate
           of 13% per annum, calculated and compounded semi-annually on the outstanding principal
           amount, with interest payable on 28 February and 31 August of each year during the term.

           In accordance with the Subscription Agreement, the debentures may, at maturity, be settled
           in cash or converted into Renergen equity, with the applicable conversion price determined
           by reference to whether a Nasdaq IPO has occurred prior to maturity.

           Debentures outstanding on 31 August 2025 amounted to US$7.0 million (R123.7 million) and
           interest accrued and paid for the quarter amounted to US$0.22 million (R3.9 million).


           SBSA Loan

           Renergen obtained a R155.0 million secured loan from Standard Bank of South Africa Limited
           ("SBSA") on 30 August 2024 ("SBSA Loan"). The first draw down of R103.3 million occurred
           on 31 August 2024 and the second draw down of R51.7 million occurred on 17 October 2024.
           Proceeds were used to fund the working capital and expansion of the Virginia Gas Project.
           Part of the proceeds of the SBSA Bridge Loan were also used to pay transaction costs
           attributable to the loan arrangement.

           The SBSA Loan accrues interest at a rate linked to 3-month JIBAR plus a variable margin
           (JIBAR plus the margin equated to 22.28% on 31 August 2025). Interest is compounded and
           capitalised to the principal amount owing. The SBSA Loan was repayable on the earlier of
           the receipt of proceeds from the Renergen proposed Nasdaq IPO or 31 August 2025. SBSA
           and Renergen are in discussions to renegotiate the loan terms, which include revisions to
           both the interest rate and the maturity date.

           The SBSA Loan is secured by a third ranking pledge of Tetra4's assets and shares held by
           Renergen in Tetra4. In addition, CRT Investments Proprietary Limited ("CRT") an associate
           of Mr Nicholas Mitchell, and MATC Investments Holdings Proprietary Limited ("MACT") an
           associate of Mr Stefano Marani, have entered into cession and pledge agreements
           ("Pledges") with SBSA, in terms of which CRT and MATC have pledged and ceded as
           security, but remain in CRT and MATC's possession unless called, collectively 17 314 575
           Renergen ordinary shares ("Pledged Shares"), to and in favour SBSA. CRT and MATC's
           potential liability under the security given in respect of such financial obligation is capped at
           the lower of the value of the Pledged Shares or R155.0 million.

               Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report



           The need to procure the requisite equity injection by 24 January 2025 resulted in events of
           default with respect to the SBSA loan agreement. SBSA reserves all its rights with respect to
           the default on the equity injection. To date, no further remedies have been requested by SBSA
           due to the progress achieved in securing funding for the VGP.

           The SBSA Loan outstanding on 31 August 2025 amounted to R188.9 million and interest
           accrued during the quarter amounted to R10.1 million.

           ASPI Loan

           Renergen and ASP Isotopes Inc. ("ASPI") released an announcement setting out the
           proposed acquisition by ASPI of all of Renergen's issued ordinary no par value shares
           ("Renergen Shares") by way of a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") in accordance with
           section 114(1) of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 ("Companies Act"), in consideration for
           which ASPI will issue new ASPI common stock to Renergen shareholders. If the Scheme is
           not implemented, solely due to one or more of the Scheme Conditions not being fulfilled or
           waived, then ASPI will make an offer to acquire 100% of the Renergen Shares from Renergen
           shareholders by way of a general standby offer, which is not subject to any conditions as to
           acceptances (the "Standby Offer").

           On 19 May 2025, Renergen and ASPI entered into a loan agreement whereby ASPI through
           its South African subsidiary, ASP Isotopes South Africa, advanced a US$30 million loan
           facility to Renergen which funds were disbursed in ZAR equivalent and have been used, and
           continue to be applied for operating costs, debt servicing, and capital investments ("ASPI
           Loan"). This facility includes US$10 million (R186.4 million) previously advanced in April 2025
           as the first drawdown, followed by another US$10 million (R176.9 million) advanced in May
           2025, and the remaining US$10 million (R175.1 million) which was advanced in June 2025.

           The ASPI Loan incurs interest at the prime rate as published by FirstRand Bank Limited from
           time to time and is repayable on 30 September 2025, or such later date that the parties agree.
           Interest accrues daily and is compounded monthly in arrears on a 365-day year basis. The
           ASPI Loan is unsecured.

           The ASPI Loan outstanding as at 31 August 2025 amounted to R555.3 million and interest
           accrued during the quarter amounted to R13.4 million.
