Response to hostile bid by Ecotricity

The Board of Good Energy Group PLC (AIM: GOOD), the 100% renewable electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider, notes the announcement issued earlier today by Ecotricity Group Limited ("Ecotricity") with respect to a hostile bid for the Group.

As set out in its response announcement on 14 July 2021, the Board believes that the offer significantly undervalues the Group and its future prospects and reiterates its unanimous and unequivocal rejection of the offer.

The Board strongly advises that shareholders should take no action at this time.

The Board will be writing to shareholders with its formal response to the offer in due course, once the offer document has been posted. Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

Will Whitehorn, Chair of Good Energy, said:

"We firmly reject this highly opportunistic and hostile offer by a direct competitor to the Company. The Board believes the offer is not in the best interests of our shareholders as a whole, nor is it in the best interests of our employees and customers. We have a clear growth strategy, a strong leadership team and a proven track record of delivering on our objectives.

"We are disappointed to see Ecotricity pressing ahead with its offer regardless of the Board's unequivocal and unanimous rejection."
