RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING

Ceres Power Holdings Plc ("Ceres" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, all of the Resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting included in the Circular sent to Shareholder on 30 November 2012 were duly passed.

On 29 November 2012, the Company announced that it was proposing to raise approximately GBP3.30 million (before expenses), through a Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer of an aggregate of 330,000,000 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 1 pence per New Ordinary Share.

The results of the Open Offer were announced on 14 December 2012.

The fact that the Resolutions were duly passed means that the Company can now allot the New Ordinary Shares and proceed to complete the Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer .

The Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer remains conditional upon admission of the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Firm Placing and Open Offer to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to become effective at 8:00am on 18 December 2012.

Upon Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will be 416,215,662 Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each which carry voting rights and 86,215,662 Deferred Shares of 4 pence each. The Deferred Shares do not carry voting rights, are not listed and are effectively valueless. It is intended that the Deferred Shares will be surrendered for value and/or cancelled in due course. No shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company, immediately following Admission, will be 416,215,662, which is the figure that may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company.

The results of the proxy votes received in advance of the meeting are reported below:

The definitions used in this announcement have the same meaning as defined in the Circular sent to shareholders on 30 November 2012.
