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

For immediate release

AMTE Power Plc

Intention to appoint administrators and suspension of trading of shares

Further to its announcement of the proposed Subscription, Placing and Convertible Loan Facility on 16 November 2023 (the "Previous Announcement"), AMTE Power Plc (AIM: AMTE), (the "Company"), a leading developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells for specialist markets, regrets to announce that:

-- Pinnacle has extended the long stop date for completion of the Subscription Agreement from 20 December 2023 until 12 January 2024 as a result of a delay in receipt of its advisers' due diligence report and the holiday period, and

-- while the Company has served a drawdown notice, Pinnacle has declined to advance funds under the Convertible Loan Facility.

The Board has no other options to secure finance in the time available and has therefore concluded that the Company has insufficient funds to continue trading and intends to appoint FRP Advisory as administrator of the Company. In the interim, FRP Advisory will manage an accelerated sale process to seek potential buyers of the business and assets of the Company. The Board has therefore requested that the Company's Ordinary Shares be suspended from trading on AIM.

WH Ireland Limited will resign as nominated adviser to the Company upon the appointment of an administrator. If the Company fails to appoint a replacement nominated adviser within one month of the date that its Ordinary Shares are suspended from trading on AIM, the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled.

As a consequence of the above, the Board intends to adjourn indefinitely the general meeting of the Company convened to be held on 20 December 2023.

Capitalised terms not defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Previous Announcement, unless the context otherwise demands.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

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