                 Mast Energy Developments Plc - IPO Admission on 14 April 2021


Kibo Energy PLC (‘Kibo’ or the ‘Company’), the multi-asset, Africa focused, energy company, is
pleased to announce that MAST Energy Developments Plc (“MED”) is to list on the Official List of the
London Stock Exchange plc ("London Stock Exchange" or "LSE") by way of a Standard Listing on 14
April 2021 (‘Admission’) under the ticker MAST.


More information on MED and access to the MED-prospectus is available on the MED-website at
https://med.energy/ and https://med.energy/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/MAST-prospectus-IPO.pdf
respectively.


Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo, said, "With strong institutional and retail support having raised in excess
of £5m, MED now looks forward to listing on the London Stock Exchange on 14 April 2021. Thereafter,
it will hit the ground running, rapidly building production and strengthening its position as a key energy
provider supporting the UK’s transition to renewable energy.”


MED Overview
MED, currently a 100% subsidiary company of Kibo Energy Plc and the 100% holding company of
Sloane Developments Ltd (“Sloane”), is listing on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange on
14 April 2021.


As announced on 5 February 2021, MED has raised in excess of £5 million through a Placing of
44,320,000 Ordinary Shares of 188,564,036 for its upcoming IPO, giving it a market capitalisation on
listing of c. £23 million. MED will remain a Kibo subsidiary after listing with Kibo holding 55,42%
interest on the day of Admission.


MED was established to acquire and develop a portfolio of flexible power plants in the UK and become
a multi-asset operator in the rapidly growing Reserve Power market; this is critical for the renewable
energy market, which needs natural gas as a back-up source of energy given renewable supply can be
intermittent.


To this end, MED has an initial portfolio of small-scale power generation assets, which, on listing, will
be in a position to develop at scale and pace, as opposed to a project-by-project basis, and will advance
rapidly towards significant revenue generation. On listing, Sloane expects to have c.9 MW in immediate
production capacity, c.20 MW in production capacity within the first six months from listing, and
another c.20 MW in production capacity over the next six months. Various other “shovel ready” sites
have already been identified in the UK.

Notes
Kibo Energy PLC is a multi-asset, Africa 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
parallel, 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.
