("Good Energy" or "the Company")

Result of Requisitioned General Meeting

Good Energy Group PLC (AIM: GOOD), the 100% renewable electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider, announces that shareholders voted against both resolutions at the requisitioned general meeting held at 9am today, Friday 11 February 2022.

Background

On 24 December 2021, the board of directors of Good Energy (the "Board") received a requisition notice from Ecotricity Group Limited ("Ecotricity") requiring the Board to convene a general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of considering two resolutions, namely:

-- an ordinary resolution to remove William Whitehorn from office as a director of the Company ("Resolution 1"); and

-- a special resolution to direct the Board not to dispose of the Company's generation assets without shareholder approval ("Resolution 2" and, together with Resolution 1, the "Requisitioned Resolutions").

Result

All voting was undertaken on a poll. The table below shows the votes received for and against each of the Requisitioned Resolutions.

 
                     For               Against              Total          Withheld 
 Resolution   Votes       %       Votes       %       Votes        % ISC   Votes 
             ----------  ------  ----------  ------  -----------  ------  --------- 
 1            4,581,943   41.7%   6,411,473   58.3%   10,993,416   65.5%   35,198 
             ----------  ------  ----------  ------  -----------  ------  --------- 
 2            4,658,286   42.8%   6,226,697   57.2%   10,884,983   64.9%   143,631 
             ----------  ------  ----------  ------  -----------  ------  --------- 
 

Notes:

1. Any proxy appointments giving discretion to the chairman of the meeting have been included in the "Against" total.

2. Votes "For" and "Against" any Requisitioned Resolution are expressed as a percentage (rounded to one decimal place) of votes validly cast for or against that Requisitioned Resolution, as the case may be.

3. A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a Requisitioned Resolution.

4. The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) ("ISC") as at 11 February 2022 was 16,783,914 ordinary shares of GBP0.05 each. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held.

Consequently, neither of the Requisitioned Resolutions received sufficient support from the Company's shareholders to be passed.

Lack of support for Ecotricity's proposals

-- Shareholders are reminded that as at 11 February 2022 Ecotricity held 4,201,071 ordinary shares.

   --    Ecotricity voted its entire shareholding in favour of both of the Requisitioned Resolutions. 

-- If the results are calculated excluding the votes cast by Ecotricity, the result is as follows:

 
                   For              Against          Total     Withheld 
 Resolution   Votes     %      Votes       %       Votes       Votes 
             --------  -----  ----------  ------  ----------  --------- 
 1            380,872   5.6%   6,411,473   94.4%   6,792,345   35,198 
             --------  -----  ----------  ------  ----------  --------- 
 2            457,215   6.8%   6,226,697   93.2%   6,683,912   143,631 
             --------  -----  ----------  ------  ----------  --------- 
 

The results of the general meeting will also be published on the Company's website.
