Conversion of Loan Notes and TVR

Prospex Energy PLC, the AIM quoted investment company focused on European gas and power projects, announces that it has received notices to convert an aggregate of GBP225,377.72 in two convertible loan notes in exchange for the issue of 5,303,006 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

The abovementioned convertible loan notes were issued in July 2022 and are convertible at 4.25p per share pursuant to a Convertible Loan Note Deed dated 18 July 2022.

Admission to Trading and Total Voting Rights

The Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of 5,303,006 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ('Admission') as a result of the above conversion. Admission is expected to occur on or around 8 September 2023. On 6 September there will be 307,300,354 Ordinary Shares in issue. Following Admission of these 5,303,006 new shares there will be a total of 312,603,360 Ordinary Shares in issue. This will be the number of Ordinary Shares that may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Mark Routh, Prospex's CEO, commented:

"Of the GBP1.87 million 4.25p Convertible Loan Notes issued in July 2022, there are just five of the original twenty-eight Loan Note holders who have not yet converted their loans and interest into Prospex shares. The first capital repayment of one-third of the outstanding loans was due to be repaid on 30 September 2023. The total remaining 4.25p Loan Notes now amount to less than GBP300,000 which would convert into around 7 million shares unless the capital is repaid.

"The conversion of these Loan Notes is very helpful for Prospex as it reduces the outstanding debt in the Company and improves our cash position. It is also beneficial to our supportive Loan Note holders since their new shares are now trading at more than a 50% premium to the conversion price of 4.25p per share."
