ESKEN LIMITED

("Esken", the "Group" or the "Company")

Publication of Circular

Notice of General Meeting

Notification of Transfer from Premium Listing to Standard Listing

Irrevocable Undertakings

Further to the announcement by Esken, the aviation and renewable energy group, on 1 November 2023 (the "Disposal Announcement") regarding the conditional disposal of its wholly owned subsidiary, Esken Renewables Limited ("Esken Renewables") (the "Disposal"); the proposal to transfer the Company's listing from the Premium Listing segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange to the Standard Listing segment (the "Proposed Transfer"); and the Company's proposed new Executive Remuneration Scheme, Esken today announces that the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") has approved a circular in relation to the above matters (the "Circular") which will be published and posted or made available to Shareholders shortly.

The Disposal, the Proposed Transfer and the implementation of the Executive Remuneration Scheme, are all subject, inter alia, to approval of Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting").

The General Meeting will be held at 9.30 a.m. on 24 November 2023, at the offices of the Company, Third floor, 15 Stratford Place, London, England W1C 1BE.

A copy of the Circular is available for download from the Company's website at www.esken.com. In compliance with 9.6.1 of the Listing Rules, copies of the Circular and Notice of General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

All defined terms in this announcement, unless otherwise stated, shall have the same meaning as in the Disposal Announcement.

Recommendation

The Board believes the Disposal and the Proposed Transfer, and the Resolutions in respect of the same to be proposed at the General Meeting to be in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole.

As the Executive Directors will not be participating in any recommendation in respect of the Executive Remuneration Scheme, the Non-Executive Directors believe the Executive Remuneration Scheme and the Resolution in respect of the same to be proposed at the General Meeting of the Company to be in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions in respect of the Disposal and the Proposed Transfer and the Non-Executive Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution in respect of the Executive Remuneration Scheme.

The directors intend to vote in favour of the Resolutions in respect of their own beneficial holdings amounting, in aggregate 2,212,070 Ordinary Shares (representing 0.22 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company), which shares are included within the number of shares in respect of which the Company has received irrevocable undertakings as set out below.

Notification of intention to transfer

As announced in the Disposal Announcement, the Board intends to transfer the Company's listing from the Premium Listing segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange to the Standard Listing segment (the "Proposed Transfer").

Under the Listing Rules, the Proposed Transfer requires prior approval of Shareholders by way of special resolution. Shareholders will therefore be asked to vote on a special resolution relating to the Proposed Transfer at the General Meeting. If the Proposed Transfer does not occur because the Transfer Resolution does not pass, the Company's Premium Listing will continue.

The date of the Proposed Transfer must not be less than 20 business days after the passing of the Transfer Resolution at the General Meeting. The Company intends to implement the Proposed Transfer according to the most efficient timeline possible. Subject to the passing of the Transfer Resolution, the Company intends to apply for the Proposed Transfer, and anticipates that the effective date of the Proposed Transfer will be 22 December 2023.

Irrevocable Undertakings

The Company has received irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Disposal Resolution and the Transfer Resolution at the General Meeting in respect of 526,953,870 Ordinary Shares in aggregate (representing approximately 51.4 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company), including in respect of the Ordinary Shares in which the directors are beneficially interested.

As such, the Company has received irrevocable undertakings in favour of the Disposal Resolution in respect of a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares so as to ensure that the Disposal Resolution will pass.
