Kibo Subsidiary Announces Further Update to the Completion of JVA

Updated Shareholding in MED

 

Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the renewable energy-focused
development company, announces that further to its previous announcements
dated 23 October 2023, 13 November 2023 and 1 December 2023 respectively, the
Board of its subsidiary Mast Energy Developments PLC ('MED'), a UK-based
multi-asset owner, developer and operator in the rapidly growing flexible
market, has now received sufficient verbal and written confirmation from
Proventure Holdings (UK) Ltd, part of the Proventure Group ('Proventure'), and
its funders that the initial Interim Payment of £2m will be paid to the Joint
Venture Special Purpose Vehicle ('JV SPV') between 15 and 20 December 2023,
subject to signature of definitive agreements. MED has therefore extended the
time allowed accordingly for Proventure to remedy its current position and to
perform its obligations under the binding Joint Venture Agreement ('JVA').
Whilst Kibo remains very conscious of the numerous delays by Proventure in
providing this funding, the Company supports MED in its decision to provide an
extension to Proventure to satisfy its obligations under the JVA whilst at the
same time exploring alternative funding options.

 

The Company also advises of a small change in its shareholding in MED from
48.35% to 47.08%, as notified by MED in a TR1 of 5 December 2023.
