Issue of Director's Deferred Remuneration Shares

 

Director Subscription at 8.75p per Share

 

Update on ATM Facility

 

 

EnergyPathways (AIM: EPP), the UK energy transition company, announces that,
following the recent offer of the award of the gas storage licence, the
remuneration committee of the Company has agreed to award deferred
remuneration due to Ben Clube by way of an issue of ordinary shares. The
Company further announces a subscription by Ben Clube and provides an update
on its ATM Facility.

 

 

As set out in the Company's Admission Document, pursuant to the terms of a
consultancy services agreement with Terra South Energy Pty Ltd ("Terra
South"), a Company in which Ben Clube has a beneficial interest and through
which part of his remuneration is received, the Company will issue 11,216,128
new ordinary shares to Terra South ("Consulting Shares"). At the election of
the Company, it has settled the outstanding amount due by way of the issue of
the Consulting Shares in line with its commitment to careful manage cash and
to align executive remuneration with shareholder interests. The Consulting
Shares represent a total of £381,886 and have been issued at an average price
of approximately 3.4p each based on the 5-day VWAP for the last five days of
trading, calculated on a monthly basis during the two-year period ended 31
December 2025.

 

In addition, the remuneration committee of the Company has agreed to grant
Terra South 10 million warrants over new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the
Company as a bonus payment to Ben Clube. The warrants have an exercise price
of 9 pence and will expire after 3 years.

 

Director Subscription

Ben Clube has also subscribed for £10,000 under the terms of a share
subscription deed dated 21 May 2026 resulting in the issuance of 114,285 new
ordinary shares ("Subscription Shares") of £0.01 each at price of 8.75p per
Subscription Share (the closing mid-market price as at 21 May 2026).

 

Following the issue and admission to trading of the Consulting Shares and the
Subscription Shares Ben Clube will hold a total of 22,733,059 Ordinary Shares
in the Company, representing 9.49% of its issued share capital. He holds these
through Painkalac Holdings Pty Ltd, the Flax Lily Superannuation Fund and
Terra South.

 

Update on ATM Facility

The Company further announces that, following the issue of 6,939,727 ATM
Shares on 30 April 2026 in accordance with the ATM Facility arrangement
announced on 28 April 2026, the Company has so far received net proceeds of
£182,239 (in addition to £21,000 nominal value that was received on 30 April
2026) in respect of the sale of 2,100,000 ATM Shares which have been sold at
an average price of 10.2 pence per share.

 

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made for the Consulting Shares and the Subscription Shares
to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 28
May 2026 ("Admission"). The Consulting Shares and the Subscription Shares will
rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares
currently traded on AIM.

 

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise
250,825,162 ordinary shares of 1 pence each. This number will represent the
total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.

 

Related Party Transaction

The subscription by Ben Clube constitutes a related party transaction pursuant
to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. With the exception of Ben Clube,
the directors of the Company consider, having consulted with Cairn Financial
Advisers LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the
transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are
concerned.

 

Mark Steeves, Chairman of EnergyPathways, said:

"Over the last three years, and in the face of the substantial challenges
presented by the UK's Net Zero ambitions, Ben Clube has demonstrated a level
of commitment, vision and determination which is hard to exaggerate.  In
recognition of this and in line with shareholder interests, the Company has
elected to issue the Consulting Shares in lieu of cash remuneration, to enable
it to direct its financial resources toward the advancement of the Company's
MESH project.

 

"As the "nationally significant" MESH project continues to progress through
FEED towards Final Investment Decision ("FID"), the Board believes investors
will be encouraged to see the Company's CEO continuing to lead from the front
as a significant long-term shareholder in the business."
