Result of Fundraising

 

Molecular Energies (AIM: MEN), the international energy company, is pleased to
announce that, further to the announcement made at 7.00 a.m. on 24 January
2024 (the "ABB Announcement") it has successfully raised £0.65 million
(before expenses) pursuant to the Placing and Subscription of 1,852,824 New
Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price.

 

Capitalised terms in the announcement shall have the same meaning ascribed to
them as in the ABB Announcement unless the context requires otherwise.

 

Cavendish Capital Markets Limited ("Cavendish") acted as bookrunner to the
Placing.

 

ADMISSION

 

The Company is issuing 1,852,824 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Placing
and Subscription, representing 17.9 per cent. of the Company's issued share
capital at the date of this Announcement. The Company has the authority to
issue and allot the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to certain existing
shareholder authorities granting such powers to the directors at the Company's
Annual General Meeting held on 21 September 2023.

 

The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid up and
will be issued subject to the Articles and rank pari passu in all respects
with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive
all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect
of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the New Ordinary Shares, and
will on issue be free of all claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and
equities.

 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of
the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that
Admission will occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 26 January 2024.

 

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the
Company in issue will be 12,218,197 with each Ordinary Share carrying the
right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore
the total number of voting rights in the Company is 12,218,197. The above
figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
