9 July 2026regulatory community update▲ GoodMajor
Timor-Leste regulator ANP approved the Kuda Tasi and Jahal Field Development Plan: three subsea wells tied back to the Petrojarl I FPSO. This clears the way to FID, now targeted in the September quarter (earlier mid-2026), with First Oil still late 2027 to early 2028.
18 June 2026capital raising announcement▲ Good
After shareholder approval on 12 June, Tranche 2 completed: 12m shares at $0.50 raising $6m, issued to Amplus Energy and Longreach. This completes the placement started in April; Tranche 1 raised $21m, giving $27m in total.
What it means for a shareholder
12.0m new shares at A$0.500 to raise about A$6.0m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

29 May 2026capital raising announcement● Neutral
The Share Purchase Plan closed 27 May with no shares issued; applications will be refunded. The planned up to $3m is not raised, so working-capital allocation shrinks. Finder says this does not materially affect its work program or KTJ milestones.
28 May 2026regulatory community update▲ Good
Finder lodged the Environmental Impact Statement and Field Development Plan, both now in approval. A shipyard tender for the Petrojarl I FPSO was issued, and critical long-lead items were secured. Lender interest is strong, helped by higher Brent forward prices. FID still targeted mid-2026.
13 May 2026investor presentation● Neutral
May 2026 corporate presentation repeats the KTJ fast-track story: FID targeted mid-2026, 25 MMbbl gross 2C, 25,000-30,000 bopd, 14-15 MMbbl in the first two years. Shows net cash of $32.3m and 542m shares. Nothing new.

What it means for a shareholder
42.0m new shares at A$0.500 to raise about A$21.0m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

Finder signed a non-binding letter of intent with Sunda Energy's Timor-Leste subsidiary to jointly secure a drilling rig. With Finder's three KTJ development wells plus Sunda's Chuditch appraisal well, the campaign would run almost 200 days. Advances the open rig search but is not binding.

12 Feb 2026price query● Neutral
Finder answered an ASX price query after the share price rose from 42.5c to an intraday high of 53.5c. It said it knew of no undisclosed information and attributed the move to investor interest in project milestones and coming catalysts.
2 Feb 2026production update● Neutral
The Petrojarl I was towed from Las Palmas to a cheaper lay-up berth at Tenerife, where it stays until FID (mid-year). Finder has applied to cut lay-up crew from 16 to 11 to reduce holding costs. Cost-saving logistics, not a project change.
