ZENITH ENERGY LTD.

Valuation of Solar Development Pipeline

Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA; XSAT:
ZENA SDR), the international energy production and development company is
pleased to announce that it has received an updated independent valuation of
its Italian solar development pipeline (the "Development Pipeline"). The
valuation reflects the continued expansion of the Company's renewable energy
portfolio and is based on specific assumptions and currently available
information.

Highlights

·      Development Pipeline capacity increased to 173.5 MWp.

·      Updated independent valuation of the Development Pipeline: EUR
54.7 million.

·      Represents a 99% increase in valuation compared to EUR 27.5
million for 110.5 MWp, as announced on December 4, 2025.

·      The valuation reflects a diversified portfolio spanning all
development stages, from land acquisition through to Ready-to-Build ("RtB")
and construction readiness.

 

Indicative value per MWp by development stage:

 

·      Permitting phase (post land acquisition, pre-RtB): EUR 300,000
per MWp.

·      Ready To Build (RtB) stage: EUR 500,000 per MWp.

·      Operational (grid-connected and revenue generating): EUR
1,300,000 per MWp.

 

 

Cash Generation Strategy

 

Zenith has previously communicated its intention to monetise a portion of its
renewable energy portfolio from RtB stage onwards, once projects have achieved
a significant uplift in value.

The Company intends to sell a total of 50 MWp of assets between now and March
2027. This is expected to comprise approximately 20 MWp of operational assets,
valued at circa EUR 26 million, and 30 MWp of RtB assets, valued at circa EUR
15 million, for a combined total of approximately EUR 41 million.

Following these potential disposals, Zenith will retain a portfolio of at
least 123.5 MWp, which it intends to progress into production. A portion of
the potential proceeds (expected to be approximately EUR 10 -12 million) will
be used to fund the associated capital requirements in their entirety with the
remainder funded by debt.

As disclosed in previous regulatory news announcements, Zenith intends to have
acquired at least 200 MWp of solar energy development assets before the close
of 2026.

 

 

Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The updated independent valuation of EUR 54.7 million, compared to EUR 27.5
million announced on December 4, 2025, represents a near doubling in the value
of our solar portfolio in a very short period of time. This reflects both the
rapid expansion of our pipeline from 110.5 MWp to 173.5 MWp and the continued
advancement of our assets through key development milestones, significantly
enhancing their intrinsic value.

This valuation provides clear third-party validation of the strategy we have
executed in Italy, namely the acquisition of high-quality, geographically
clustered solar projects and their efficient progression through permitting,
Ready-to-Build status and ultimately into construction. It is particularly
encouraging to see the independent valuation quantify the substantial value
uplift achieved at each stage of the development cycle.

Recent events in the Middle East have driven Brent Oil Prices above $110 and
this has been reflected in Italian gas and electricity prices, highlighting
the critical importance of increasing Europe's domestic energy production.

I am highly encouraged by the pace and quality of progress across the
portfolio and believe that the Company's current market valuation does not yet
fully reflect the underlying value being created. As we begin to monetise
developed assets through the sales process, we expect to generate significant,
realisable cash proceeds, further validating the strength and scalability of
our strategy."
