Result of Broker Option

EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT), a global technology innovator powering distributed, decarbonised, new energy infrastructure through its waste-to-value solutions for hydrogen, biofuels, and energy generation announces that, further to the announcements made on 21 March 2023 and 4 April 2023, the broker option, a facility to allow existing shareholders to participate in the fundraise on same terms to the placing announced on 21 March 2023 in which the Company raised £3.5 million before expenses (the "Placing") (the "Broker Option"), is now closed.

The Company will therefore issue 1,105,828 units ("Units") pursuant to the Broker Option at 0.22 pence per Unit, the same price as the Placing, conditional only on Admission. Each Unit comprises one new ordinary share of €0.001 each in the Company ("Ordinary Share") and one half of one Ordinary Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant is exercisable at 0.33 pence per new Ordinary Share. The Warrants are unlisted. Each new Ordinary Share will rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares.

Admission

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the 1,105,828 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings in the new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 28 April 2023.

Following Admission, there will be 11,528,254,001 Ordinary Shares in issue. This number may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
