Issue of Shares to Service Provider

Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the renewable energy focused development company, announces the issue of 81,081,081 ordinary shares of par value ?0.0001 each at an issue price of 0.037 pence per share (the "Settlement Shares") to a service provider in payment of outstandings invoices for a total value of £30,000. The issue price is the 10-day VWAP of the Kibo share on AIM on 1 March 2024.

This share issue relates to a pre-agreed invoice settlement arrangement with the service provider in September 2023 for which the share issue was deferred pending Kibo shareholder approval for dis-application of pre-emptive rights. This dis-application was recently obtained at the Company's EGM on 9 February last.

Trading in the Subscription Shares is expected to commence on AIM and the JSE on or around 8 March 2024 ('Admission'). Following Admission, the Company will have 4,360,947,764 shares in issue and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
