THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE UK VERSION OF REGULATION (EU) NO 596/2014 WHICH IS PART OF UK LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) 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

("AMTE Power" or the "Company")

Faraday Battery Challenge

AMTE Power plc, a leading UK developer and manufacturer of battery cells for specialist markets, is aware of an announcement by the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre that it, with two other companies, has been awarded part of a GBP1 million funding package.

The Company understands that it has been awarded a grant of GBP398,000 for the production of cells at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. The grant is only accessible on completion of defined production and therefore has no impact on the Company's financial position. The Board is currently awaiting details of the award and the conditions relating thereto and will make a further announcement in due course.

As announced yesterday, it remains the case that should the Company be unable to secure additional funding within no less than the next three weeks, the prospects for recovery of value, if any, by shareholders would be uncertain.

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Anita Breslin, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
