FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Atrato Onsite Energy plc
Result of General Meeting - Change of Investment Objective and Policy,
Proposed Disposal of the Portfolio
On 4 October 2024, Atrato Onsite Energy plc (the "Company") published a
shareholder circular (the "Circular") containing a notice of General Meeting
in connection with the proposed change of investment objective and policy in
order to enable the sale of its entire portfolio of solar assets (the
"Disposal") to Phoenix UK Bidco Limited, a newly incorporated company which is
indirectly owned by a joint venture vehicle of Brookfield and RAIM Apollo, at
a Headline Price of £218.7 million 1 (#_ftn1) .
At the General Meeting held earlier today, the ordinary resolution to approve
the change of investment objective and policy was duly passed by way of a
poll.
The results of the poll, including the proxy votes received, were as follows:
Resolution In favour (including discretionary) Against % of issued share capital Votes withheld*
Votes % (of votes cast excl. withheld) Votes % (of votes cast excl. withheld)
To approve the new investment objective and policy 84,116,384 96.34% 3,191,847 3.66% 58.21% 1,285
Notes:
* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards
the proportion of votes "in favour" or "against" a resolution.
The Noteholders Consent Condition was also satisfied earlier today.
Consequently both conditions to the Disposal have been satisfied and
completion of the Disposal is expected to occur in early November 2024. A
further announcement will be made immediately following Completion.
Defined terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context requires
otherwise, have the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular, which is
available on the Company's website at https://atratorenewables.com/
(https://atratorenewables.com/) .
A copy of this announcement will be available on the Company's website and in
accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, a copy of the full text of the
resolution passed will be shortly submitted to the National Storage Mechanism

Information regarding forward-looking statements
This announcement contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be,
"forward-looking statements" which are prospective in nature. All statements
other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. They
are based on intentions, beliefs and/or current expectations and projections
about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties
which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always,
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of a date in the
future or forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "is
subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects" or words or terms of
similar substance or the negative of those terms, as well as variations of
such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results
"may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be
achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent
risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations or events that are
beyond the Company's control. Forward-looking statements include statements
regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of the Company
concerning, without limitation, the business, results of operations, financial
condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies of the Company.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and are based
on certain key assumptions. Many factors may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from
the expectations of the Company include, amongst other things, general
business and economic conditions globally, industry and market trends,
competition, changes in government and changes in law, regulation and policy,
including in relation to taxation, interest rates, the impact of any
acquisitions or similar transactions, IT system and technology failures,
political and economic uncertainty and other factors. Such forward-looking
statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors.
Neither the Company nor any of its Directors, officers or advisers provides
any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement
will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
Forward-looking statements contained in this announcement apply only as at the
date of this announcement. Other than in accordance with its legal or
regulatory obligations (including under the Listing Rules, the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules and UK MAR) the Company is not under any
obligation and the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. The information in this announcement
is subject to change without notice.
