Coro Energy plc
("Coro" or the "Company")
Result of WRAP Retail
Offer
Coro Energy plc (AIM: CORO) is pleased to
confirm, further to the announcements made on 10 January 2025 and
24 January 2025, the result of the WRAP Retail Offer. The Company
announces that it has conditionally raised aggregate gross proceeds
of £126,009.24 pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer, representing an
oversubscribed WRAP offering. Accordingly, the Company will issue a
total of 8,400,616 New Ordinary Shares at
the Issue Price pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as
announced on 9 January 2025, the Company is also proposing to raise
further funds through a subscription of New Ordinary Shares (the
"Subscription Shares"). A
separate announcement regarding the Subscription was made by the
Company on 9 January 2025 regarding its terms and sets out the
reasons for the Subscription and use of proceeds. The proceeds of
the WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the
proceeds of the Subscription.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail
Offer is not part of the Subscription. Completion of the WRAP
Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the
Subscription but completion of the Subscription is not conditional
on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is also conditional,
inter alia, on the shareholder resolution being passed at the
general meeting of the Company (due to be held on 5 February 2025)
and the Subscription Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares being
admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is anticipated that
Admission will become effective and that dealings in the
Subscription Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares will commence
at 8.00 a.m. on 7 February 2025.
Terms used but
not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out
in the Company's announcement released at 07:00am on 10 January
2025.

The value of Ordinary Shares and the income

"estimate", "expect" and words of similar meaning, include all
matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking
statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could
cause the actual results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity and dividend policy and the development of the industries
in which the Company's businesses operate to differ materially from
the impression created by the forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given
those risks and uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as
at the date of this announcement and cannot be relied upon as a
guide to future performance. The Company and Winterflood expressly
disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect actual
results or any change in the assumptions, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statements are based unless
required to do so by the Financial Conduct Authority, the London
Stock Exchange or applicable law.

the announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection
therewith. Winterflood and its affiliates, accordingly, disclaim

otherwise which they might otherwise be found to have in respect of
this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in
connection therewith.
Any indication in this announcement of the
price at which the Ordinary Shares have been bought or sold in the
past cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance.
Persons needing advice should consult an independent financial
adviser. No statement in this announcement is intended to be a
profit forecast and no statement in this announcement should be
interpreted to mean that earnings or target dividend per share of
the Company for the current or future financial years would
necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or
