In accordance with Resolution 1 approved at the EGM, the board of directors of the Company
has approved the Company giving its consent to the migration of its ordinary shares to the Euro-
clear Bank SA/NV central securities depository in accordance with the Migration of Participating
Securities Act 2019. The requisite notifications in connection with the migration have also been

Company has now completed all necessary actions required of it under the 2019 Act and the
Migration Guide.

Euronext Dublin has published a statement on the dedicated web page relating to its obligations
under the 2019 Act. This statement can be found at the following link:

Notes

Kibo Energy PLC is a multi-asset, Africa and UK focused, energy company positioned to address the
acute power deficit, which is one of the primary impediments to economic development in Sub-Saharan
Africa. To this end, it is the Company's objective to become a leading independent power producer in the
region.

Kibo is simultaneously developing three similar coal-fuelled power projects: the Mbeya Coal to Power
Project ('MCPP') in Tanzania; the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project ('MCIPP') in Botswana;
and the Benga Independent Power Project ('BIPP') in Mozambique. By developing these projects in paral-
lel, the Company intends to leverage considerable economies of scale and timing in respect of strategic
partnerships, procurement, equipment, human capital, execution capability / capacity and project finance.
