Alan Hollis, Chief Executive Officer at AMTE Power, said:
“We are very pleased to have the support of existing and new shareholders as we look to put in place the Initial Recapitalisation Plan and progress towards restoring the Group’s financial foundations. I am particularly excited to be working with a potential investor who can truly support the strategic growth and development of the business.”
The Initial Recapitalisation Plan
Further to the announcement of the Initial Recapitalisation Plan on 25 July 2023, the net proceeds of the Placing will be used to provide further time for the Company and the potential new equity investor (the “Potential Equity Investor”, referred to as the Equity Investor in the Previous Announcement) to complete the proposed initial equity investment of £2.5 million.
During the course of its due diligence, the Potential Equity Investor has advised that it can, where suitable, introduce companies in which it has an equity interest to AMTE Power with the view to generating offtake agreements for sodium-ion battery cells. It would also provide similar introductions to other companies with which it has strategic relationships, where battery technology is currently being deployed at large scale in various industries, for example in renewable energy.
Given the potential for revenue growth that, in the Directors’ view, can be realised through these arrangements, AMTE Power intends to issue the Potential Equity Investor with compensatory warrants in recognition of the value of such offtake agreements. If required, shareholder approval for the issue of any such warrants will be sought in due course.
The board of directors of the Company has been informed by the Potential Equity Investor that its due diligence is progressing; that significant strategic work has been undertaken; that further confirmatory and technical due diligence is its current focus; and that this work is now anticipated to complete by the end of October 2023.
