Use of Proceeds

 

The proceeds from the Subscription will be used to fund pre-development activities on the Company's MESH project's compressed air storage, hydrogen storage and natural gas storage developments and also provides additional working capital. It positions the MESH project to progress promptly to FID as soon as, if its application is successful, it is awarded applicable licences by government regulators.

 

 

Commenting on the Subscription, CEO Ben Clube said:

"This limited subscription was made to known long term investors aligned with the Company's business model. The subscription bolsters the position of long-term investors on the Company's register which we believe will be beneficial in attracting cornerstone long term investors to the Company in the future.

"The Subscription ensures the Company is positioned to invest significant potential non-dilutive private capital in the MESH project. Private capital is poised for deployment soon as the UK government signals its support for growth investment in EnergyPathways' MESH project with the award of applicable licences.

"This additional investment by existing shareholders and directors of EnergyPathways demonstrates their confidence in the strategic outlook of the Company and what they believe will be the likely direction of UK energy transition.

"As per our consistent communication to the market, the Company is always assessing its financing options, which includes opportunities to attract long term investors in the Company."
