AMTE Power Plc

Financing Update

Since its announcement on 8 September 2023, AMTE Power Plc (AIM: AMTE) ("AMTE Power", the "Company" or, together with its subsidiary undertakings, the "Group"), a leading developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells for specialist markets, has made good progress in the negotiations with and due diligence by the Equity Investor with regards to the Proposed Subscription of £2.5 million, as further described in the Company's announcement of 25 July 2023.

The Group now has sufficient cash until week commencing 27 November 2023, however, on its own, this will not be sufficient to finance the Company through to satisfaction of the conditions and to completion of the Proposed Subscription ("Completion"). The Group is currently in discussions with equity providers and other interested parties to provide it with sufficient bridging finance through to Completion, and anticipates making a further announcement with respect thereto early next week.

In the event that these discussions do not conclude positively, it would be likely that AMTE Power would not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due, ahead of completion of the Proposed Subscription, and there would be no alternative other than for the Group to enter into administration or some other form of insolvency procedure under which the prospects for recovery of value, if any, by Shareholders would be uncertain.

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