COPENHAGEN, Denmark, September 22, 2026 – Pursuant to Section 31 of the Danish Capital Markets Act, it is hereby announced that as of September 21, 2026, Bavarian Nordic’s holding of treasury shares amounted to 3,965,413 shares, corresponding to 5.00% of the Company’s share capital and voting rights in the Company. In accordance with Section 85 of the Danish Companies Act, the Company cannot exercise any voting rights attached to its treasury shares.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Valeura Energy Inc. (TSX:VLE, OTCQX:VLERF) (“Valeura” or the “Company”) announces that along with its partner, PTTEP Energy Development Company Limited, a subsidiary of PTT Exploration and Production Public Company limited (“PTTEP”), it has taken a Final Investment Decision (“FID”) to proceed with an initial gas development at the Bussabong gas field (Block G3/65, 40% non-operated working interest) in the offshore Gulf of Thailand (“Phase 1”). 

The project will be Valeura’s first organic gas development in its Thailand portfolio.  Phase 1 of the Bussabong development establishes a repeatable development template for the eventual full development of the field.

Highlights

• Efficient design: Two gas wellhead platforms with 24 well slots each, tied in to processing infrastructure with a nine km sub-sea pipeline;
• Fully funded: Approximately US$35 million capex for facilities, installation, and pipelines spread over approximately two years, plus capex associated with drilling 25 development wells, estimated at approximately US$20-25 million (net to Valeura 40% share);
• Rapid development: Phase 1 entails deployment of two wellhead facilities with first production approximately year-end 2028;
• Economically resilient: Robust economics, in keeping with Valeura’s strategy to pursue value-accretive growth; and
• Substantial running room: Valeura’s first gas production in Thailand, opening the way to  further phases of development in the future.

Dr. Sean Guest, President and CEO commented:
“I am pleased to have rapidly turned our strategic farm-in with PTTEP into tangible development action.  Within 14 months of entering into this arrangement, we are taking our first gas FID, which we believe sets us on a course to broaden and diversify our business in the Gulf of Thailand.

Phase 1 is set to unfold quickly, with first gas planned for approximately the end of 2028.  This quick action reflects PTTEP’s customary streamlined approach and underscores the importance of establishing this strategic relationship.

Moreover, the capital outlay associated with the project is modest, in part reflecting the resource synergies available through the operator PTTEP, but also reflecting the initial nature of this development.  The Bussabong field production area is expected to offer significant appraisal and exploration upside already identified on 3D seismic data, with the potential for further phased development in the future.  As such, we see this as just the beginning – an exciting first step in what will be a methodical, phased approach to build production materiality and longevity, both from the Bussabong gas field, and also from the various other oil and gas focus areas we have identified on Block G3/65.”

Bussabong
Bussabong is a gas field in the eastern part of Block G3/65, with geological similarities to many other gas fields in the offshore Gulf of Thailand.  The field’s reservoirs are divided into multiple fault-block compartments, which lend themselves to a phased, repeatable development model. 

The Bussabong area was fully covered in pre-existing 3D seismic data and contained several historic gas discoveries prior to Valeura entering into the farm-in agreement with PTTEP (the “Farm-in”).  An additional exploration well in 2025 was also successful which led PTTEP and Valeura to immediately engage in development planning once the partnership began. 

Thailand’s upstream regulator has already approved a defined production area for the Bussabong field, for which full field development could ultimately entail further phased development to fully commercialise the field and identified prospects.  Valeura envisages further final investment decisions in the coming years, subject to favourable definition of resources through step-out exploration and appraisal drilling. 

Initial Development
Phase 1 entails two wellhead platforms of 24 well slots each, to be deployed toward the northern end of the Bussabong field, in water depths of between 75 and 90 metres, and tied in by way of a short 12″ seabed pipeline to gas processing infrastructure at the Bongkot gas field, nine km east in the neighbouring Block G2/61.  Bongkot is operated by PTTEP and no new processing capacity is required to accommodate the Bussabong production.

The platforms’ design specifications are consistent with a large number of other facilities in the Gulf of Thailand.  Valeura anticipates that both construction and maintenance thereafter will benefit from PTTEP’s optimised supply chain, owing to its position as the dominant gas operator in Thailand. 

Capital Investment and Timeline
Phase 1 capital spending associated with the facilities, installation, and  pipelines, net to Valeura’s 40% working interest, is expected to be approximately US$35 million, and will be spent in 2027 and 2028.  In addition, the Company anticipates drilling capex associated with the currently planned 25 development wells, in the range of US$20-25 million (Valeura 40% working interest share).  No material spending is planned for 2026 in connection with the development. 

The Company anticipates first gas production at approximately the end of 2028.

Economics and Production Profile
The operator has indicated to Valeura that the facilities and wells planned as part of Phase 1 are intended to deliver sales gas production of approximately 30 mmcf/d (12 mmcf/d Valeura share⁽²⁾) in 2029, and then increase to approximately 40 mmcf/d (16 mmcf/d Valeura share⁽¹⁾) in 2030.  Based on samples collected during exploration drilling, the gas is expected to be relatively dry (approximately 20 bbls of condensate per mmcf gas).

In accordance with standard practice in Thailand, the operator will now work with regulators and the gas customer to formalise a gas sales agreement.  The gas sales price is expected to reflect established pricing arrangements in the Gulf of Thailand and details will be subject to confidentiality obligations owed to the government, regulators and gas customer.  

Thai domestic gas is typically sold under long-term, take-or-pay contracts priced against a basket of commodities including fuel oil and is adjusted for inflation indices.  The Company expects that the customary pricing framework will yield terms that support robust project economics for the development, subject to successful negotiation of a gas sales agreement on anticipated terms.

Valeura’s reserves will next be evaluated as of 31 December 2026, at which time the Company expects its external reserves evaluator will, providing a gas sales agreement has been executed, add these volumes to the Company’s reserves. 

(1)   Once in operation, Valeura intends to report production as its 40% working interest share of gross sales gas, before government take (including royalties).  Valeura and PTTEP entitlement to production revenue is defined by the terms of a production sharing contract which provides a mechanism for cost recovery and for the sharing of profits, as more fully described in the Company’s 25 July 2025 announcement.

Farm-in Status
Valeura’s interest in Bussabong arises through the Farm-in, under which the Company earns a 40% non-operated working interest in each of Blocks G1/65 and G3/65.  The cabinet of the government of Thailand has granted executive approval for the transfer of this working interest from PTTEP to Valeura, which is anticipated to occur as an administrative step later in September or early October 2026.  The Company does not intend to make a further announcement on the transfer of interest.

New physically backed products broaden European investor access to decentralised financial platforms,privacy-focused digital assets and quantum-resistant architecture via standard brokerage accounts

ZÜRICH, 22 September 2026 – 21shares, a global leader in digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs), today announced the launch of two new products: the 21shares ether.fi ETP (ticker: ETHFI) and the 21shares Zcash ETP (ticker: ZCASH). Both products are physically backed by their respective underlying tokens and trade on European exchanges, offering investors seamless exposure through traditional investment channels.

Product	Ticker	ISIN	Exchange	Currency	Fee
21shares ether.fi ETP	ETHFI	CH1608218819	Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Paris	EUR (Paris), USD (Amsterdam)	2.50%
21shares Zcash ETP	ZCASH	CH1608218801	Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Paris	EUR (Paris), USD (Amsterdam)	2.50%

The 21shares ether.fi ETP (ETHFI) provides direct exposure to the native governance and utility token of ether.fi, a leading protocol evolving from liquid restaking into a comprehensive crypto-native financial services platform. With billions in assets already deposited, ether.fi integrates earning, borrowing, payments, and spending into a unified ecosystem.

The 21shares Zcash ETP (ZCASH) targets the growing investment thesis around financial privacy and post-quantum security. Built on Bitcoin’s foundational monetary architecture that fixes its supply cap at 21 million coins, Zcash introduces optionality through cryptographic shielded transactions, giving users control over transaction transparency.

Both ETPs eliminate the technical barriers of direct token ownership, such as setting up exchange accounts, managing private keys, or handling personal custody. The underlying cryptoassets are held safely by established third-party custodians and both ETPs are enabling investors to trade ETHFI and ZCASH as easily as traditional equities or ETFs.

“European investors want straightforward access to projects that are actually building useful technology,” said Jasmin Muelhaupt, Director of Financial Product Development at 21shares. “ether.fi is a great example of an ecosystem moving beyond basic staking into real-world use cases like cards and borrowing, while Zcash offers something truly distinct by combining Bitcoin’s capped supply with optional privacy and future-proof cryptography. By bringing both onto traditional exchanges as ETPs, we are making it as simple to add these assets to a portfolio as buying any standard stock or fund.” 

Both products are available starting today across European brokerage platforms and financial institutions. For more information, visit www.21shares.com.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SECURITY HOLDERS

Re: Compulsory Redemption of Digital Securities issued under the Digital Securities programme of the Issuer

We refer to the base prospectus dated 12 March 2026, relating to the Issuer’s Exchange Traded Products Programme for the issuance of Digital Securities (the “Programme”). We also refer to the trust instrument between the Issuer and the Trustee dated 25 April 2025 as amended and supplemented by the supplemental trust instrument dated 12 March 2026 (the “Trust Instrument”). Capitalised terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust Instrument.

1. Redemption of relevant Digital Securities

In accordance with Condition 10.1(a) (Compulsory Redemption on Termination) of the Digital Securities, the Issuer hereby gives Security Holders not less than 30 days’ notice that it has determined that all Digital Securities issued under the Programme are to be Redeemed compulsorily (the “Redemption”). The relevant Digital Securities are listed in the table below. As used herein, “Security Holders” means the holders of such Digital Securities.

Name	Ticker	Launch date	ISIN
CoinShares XBT Physical Litecoin – SEK	COINLTC SS	21 May 2025	SE0024367098
CoinShares XBT Physical XRP – SEK	COINXRP SS	21 May 2025	SE0024367130

CoinShares XBT Physical Staked Polkadot – SEK	COINDOT SS	21 May 2025	SE0025010838

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this notice shall affect the Single Digital Currency Tracker Certificates or Basket Certificates (namely, CoinShares XBT Bitcoin Tracker One (ISIN: SE0007126024), CoinShares XBT Bitcoin Tracker Euro (ISIN: SE0007525332), CoinShares XBT Ether Tracker One (ISIN: SE0010296574) and CoinShares XBT Ether Tracker Euro (ISIN: SE0010296582)), issued by the Issuer pursuant to the base prospectus dated 17 September 2026, as guaranteed by CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited.

1. Rationale for the Redemption

The Programme was launched in April 2025 as a Nordic counterpart to the wider European physically-backed exchange-traded product platform operated by the CoinShares group of companies, of which the Issuer is a member (the “Group“). The Programme was constructed deliberately around the same underlying assets and the same physically backed methodology, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and denominated in Swedish krona, for Nordic investors who prefer to trade in their home currency on their home exchange and with a local issuer.

The Group has since decided to concentrate its altcoin and staking exposure on a single platform and will continue exploring the most efficient ways to offer altcoin and staking exposures to Nordic investors going forward. Following that decision, the Issuer has determined that it is appropriate to redeem all outstanding Digital Securities issued under the Programme and to terminate the Programme accordingly.

1. Compulsory Redemption Date

The Issuer hereby designates 9 November 2026 as the Compulsory Redemption Date in respect of the Redemption of all of the Digital Securities under the Programme.

1. Redemption election

The Issuer reminds Security Holders that Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 in respect of any Digital Security will be effected by Cash Settlement in accordance with Condition 10.8 (Payments of Cash on Compulsory Redemption) unless the Security Holder in respect of the Digital Security has, no later than 26 October 2026 (being ten Issuer Business Days prior to the Compulsory Redemption Date), delivered to the Issuer a valid Redemption Notice specifying Physical Delivery and effected an Acceptable Delivery in respect of the Digital Securities to be Redeemed. Where Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 in respect of any Digital Security is to be effected by Physical Delivery, Condition 10.7 (Delivery of Digital Currency on Compulsory Redemption) will apply. Redemption Notices specifying Physical Delivery should be sent to ir@xbtprovider.com.

1. Redemption procedure

Subject to the above, settlement of the Issuer’s Redemption Obligations on Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 shall be effected on the Compulsory Redemption Date or such later date as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable and in any event by 30 November 2026 (being the fifteenth Issuer Business Day after the Compulsory Redemption Date). The Compulsory Redemption Date or the aforementioned later date is referred to herein as the “Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date”.

Where the Redemption is being effected by Cash Settlement:

(i)     The Issuer will, in accordance with Condition 10.8 (Payments of Cash on Compulsory Redemption), transfer the aggregate Redemption Amount with respect to the Digital Securities in the Settlement Currency (being Swedish Krona) on the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date, or, if such date is not a Clearing System Business Day, on the immediately following Clearing System Business Day, to the relevant Security Holder in accordance with Condition 29 (Payment Provisions).

(ii)     The Redemption Amount will be an amount in the Settlement Currency equal to the net proceeds of sale (and conversion into the Settlement Currency if not sold for cash in the Settlement Currency) of the aggregate Coin Entitlement in Digital Currency of the relevant Underlying Type of such Digital Securities rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level of such Digital Securities as at the date on which settlement of such sale was completed less the Redemption Fee and any other Redemption Deductions.

(iii)     The Redemption Fee in relation to the Redemption shall be nil. Redemption Deductions include the costs, charges and/or fees incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Redemption, as more fully set out in the definition thereof in the Conditions.

Where the Redemption is being effected by Physical Delivery:

(i)     The Issuer will, in accordance with Condition 10.7 (Delivery of Digital Currency on Compulsory Redemption), instruct the Custodian to transfer Digital Currency of the Underlying Type attributable to or forming part of the Secured Property in respect of such Digital Securities, in an amount (rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level) equal to the Redemption Amount, calculated as at the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date, to the relevant Security Holder Account. Such Digital Currency will be delivered to such account on the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date.

(ii)     The Redemption Amount will be the aggregate Coin Entitlement in Digital Currency of the relevant Underlying Type of such Digital Securities as at the Settlement Date rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level less an amount of such Digital Currency having a value equal (in the opinion of the Determination Agent) to the Redemption Fee and any other Redemption Deductions rounded up to the Delivery Precision Level.

(iii)     The Redemption Fee in relation to the Redemption shall be nil. Redemption Deductions include the costs, charges and/or fees incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Redemption as more fully set out in the definition thereof in the Conditions and which will include, without limitation, any costs incurred by the Issuer, the Custodian(s), the Coin Sales Agent or any other of the Issuer’s agents as part of a sale or purchase of Digital Currency. In this context, a Physical Delivery Fee of one (1) per cent. of the applicable Coin Entitlement will be charged under limb (a) of the definition of Redemption Deductions.

The provisions and procedures described above are qualified entirely by, and subject to, the more detailed terms and definitions set out in the Conditions relating to the Digital Securities.

1. Other

This notice of Compulsory Redemption is governed by English law and is given by CoinShares XBT Provider AB (publ) as Issuer. The Issuer approved the Redemption of Digital Securities by resolutions dated 25 August 2026.
