Clean Power Hydrogen plc
("CPH2", the "Company" or the "Group")
Results of Oversubscribed Retail Offer
Further to the announcement by the Company in respect of the Retail Offer dated 28 August 2025 (the "Retail Offer Announcement"), Clean Power Hydrogen plc (AIM: CPH2), is pleased to announce that, following the closing of the Retail Offer on the BookBuild platform on 3 September 2025, the Retail Offer was oversubscribed. Accordingly, the Company has elected to increase scale of the Retail Offer to raise total gross proceeds of £0.328 million (the "Retail Offer") through the issue of 6,555,315 Retail Offer Shares at the Issue Price of 5 pence per share. Accordingly, all existing Shareholders who applied in the Retail Offer received 100 per cent of their demand. This total includes the application for 100,000 Retail Offer Shares received from Rick Smith, Non-Executive Director of the Company, which, on issue, will result in Mr Smith having an interest in 258,333 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.05% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
In addition, due to additional demand in the Subscription, the Company has issued an additional 1,000,000 Subscription Shares. Consequently, it is now anticipated that the Company will issue and allot 10,800,000 Placing Shares, 130,233,580 Subscription Shares and 6,555,315 Retail Offer Shares (together, the "New Shares"), resulting in a total of 147,588,895 New Shares to be issued in relation to the Fundraising raising gross proceeds of approximately £7.4 million.
The proceeds will be used as outlined in the Launch Announcement dated 28 August 2025 and will provide additional working capital support and further strengthen the balance sheet.
The Fundraising is conditional on obtaining approval of the Shareholders at a General Meeting of the Company, to be held at the offices of K&L Gates, One New Change, London EC4M 9AF at 11:00 a.m. on 18 September 2025.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Applications have been made to the London Stock Exchange for each admission of the New Shares to trading on AIM.
Subject to the Resolutions being passed at the General Meeting, it is expected that:
· admission of the EIS/VCT Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 19 September 2025 ("First Admission"); and
· admission of the Non-EIS/VCT Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 22 September 2025 ("Second Admission").
The New Shares, when issued, will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the admission of those Ordinary Shares and will otherwise rank on each Admission pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Existing Ordinary Shares") including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such New Shares after the date of their admission to trading on AIM.
The Enlarged Issued Share Capital, as increased by the New Shares, immediately following Second Admission (excluding any issues of shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share incentives or options between the date of this Announcement and Admission) will be 502,013,083 Ordinary Shares.
