All funding activities, including the Company’s proposed AIM-listed vehicle Ultimate Sustainable
Energy (‘USE’), were placed on hold due to delays as a result of EGM difficulties where shareholders
were unable to cast their votes, which was partially resolved at the most recent EGM (see RNS dated
16 March 2023).
