New Energy One Acquisition Corporation Plc

("NEOA" or the "Company")

Cessation of Operations and Redemption of Public Shareholders

New Energy One Acquisition Corporation Plc ("NEOA" or the "Company"), a special purpose acquisition company, announces today that the Board of Directors of NEOA has decided that it is in the best interests of the Company not to pursue a Business Combination and to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. 

NEOA has considered a range of options for a Business Combination and has had discussions with some excellent companies. However, given the current challenging UK public equity market conditions, the Board has concluded that a successful Business Combination cannot be completed by 15 March 2024.  It would be inappropriate to incur further expenses in attempting to conclude a business combination, and thus the Board has made the difficult decision to redeem the Public Shareholders and cease operations, except for the purposes of winding up.

The Company intends to effect the redemption of all Ordinary Shares held by Public Shareholders, in accordance with the terms set out in the IPO Prospectus and the Articles of Association. There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Public Warrants which will automatically expire upon completion of the liquidation of the Company.  In addition, the Company intends to give notice to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") for the cancellation of admission to listing on the standard segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the LSE of the Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants of the Company.

A further announcement will be released in due course setting out the redemption process for Public Shareholders.
