THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES
OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE UK VERSION OF REGULATION (EU) NO 596/2014 WHICH

ACT 2018, AS AMENDED. UPON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT VIA
A REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE, THIS INSIDE INFORMATION IS NOW
CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

AMTE Power Plc
Financing update
AMTE Power Plc (AIM: AMTE) ("AMTE Power" or the "Company"), a
leading developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion
battery cells for specialist markets, today announces an update to
its financing position.
The Company stated on 1 December 2022 that it would need to
raise additional capital by April 2023 in order to meet its then
current operating costs. On 31 March 2023 and 25 April 2023 it
announced drawing down (i) a new GBP580,000 loan facility and (ii)
GBP1.0 million under its convertible loan facility,
respectively.
The Company has subsequently been in, and continues to be in,
discussions with potential investors concerning raising further
finance. The Company needs to conclude some form of fundraising
within no less than the next four weeks. Whilst active discussions
are ongoing, there can be no certainty of the outcome of these
discussions.
Accordingly, in light of the Company's reducing cash position,
should the Company be unable to secure additional funding, the
prospects for recovery of value, if any, by shareholders would be
uncertain.
Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
The person responsible for arranging the release of this
announcement on behalf of the Company is Anita Breslin, Chief
Financial Officer of the Company.
