Result of General Meeting, Total Voting Rights and Retail Offer

AMTE Power Plc (AIM: AMTE) ("AMTE Power" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, at the General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions as set out in its notice of General meeting dated 8 September 2023 were duly passed. Admission of the Conditional Placing Shares to trading on AIM is therefore expected to occur on 26 September 2023.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Company's announcement made on 8 September 2023, unless the context requires otherwise.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

F ollowing the General Meeting held earlier today, the Company will issue 112,596,610 Conditional Placing Shares.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Conditional Placing Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that Conditional Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 26 September 2023. The Conditional Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares").

Following Conditional Admission, the total number of shares in the capital of the Company with voting rights will be 160,908,680 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, AMTE Power under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Suspension of trading

On 13 September 2023, the London Stock Exchange announced a suspension of trading in the Ordinary Shares as a result of deterioration in settlement performance of those shares. It is hoped that the result of the General Meeting will enable this situation to normalise shortly so enabling the suspension to be lifted by the London Stock Exchange, whereupon dealings will commence in those shares and the Conditional Placing Shares. Any decision by the London Stock Exchange to lift the suspension will be communicated by the London Stock Exchange in due course.

The Retail Offer

The Company values its shareholder base and believes that it is appropriate to provide eligible existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom the opportunity to participate in the Retail Offer. The Retail Offer will allow existing retail shareholders to participate in the fundraising by subscribing for Retail Offer Shares at the Placing Price via the Bookbuild Platform.

An announcement regarding the launch of the Retail Offer will be made shortly following the lifting of the suspension of trading in the Ordinary Shares and will contain further information on how investors can participate in the Retail Offer.
