("Pineapple Power" or "the Company")
Placing to raise £357,900
Pineapple Power Corporation plc is pleased to announce it has raised £357,900 (before expenses) by way of a placing (the "Placing") of 11,930,000 new Ordinary Shares of GBP 0.01 each (the "Placing Shares") at a price of GBP 0.03 per share. A total of 9,630,000 shares were placed by the Company's brokers - Peterhouse Capital and Axis Capital. In addition, certain Company insiders participated in the Placing for a total of 2,300,000 shares - Andrew Holland, Company Director, as to 1,000,000 shares, Clive de Larrabeiti, Corporate Finance Advisor, as to 1,000,000 shares and Peter Mills, Corporate Administrator, as to 300,000 shares.
The use of proceeds from the Placing will primarily be used for legal and due diligence costs associated with and expected during any future RTO transaction.
Clive de Larrabeiti, founding shareholder and Corporate Finance Advisor of the Company stated that "We are delighted to be able to raise this capital in the current market and are pleased to report that this placing and issue of these shares was substantially over-subscribed. We are grateful to the existing shareholders who have followed their investment in Pineapple and welcome all new ones. With the unremitting appetite to merge with fully listed cash shells such as Pineapple Power on the London Stock Exchange exhibited by private enterprises and the rapidly decreasing supply of such vehicles we enjoy a very advantageous position and view the coming months with much excitement. We hope to make further announcements in due course."

Application for Admission and Total Voting Rights
The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will represent approximately 19.97 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company prior to the Placing and subscription. The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to listing on the standard listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of GBP 0.01 in the capital of the Company. Admission of the Placing Shares is expected to occur on or around 21 July 2022.
In accordance with the provision of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA ("DTRs"), the Company confirms that, following Admission, its issued share capital will comprise 71,666,211 Ordinary Shares, each of which carries the right to vote, with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. This figure may be used by Shareholders 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 Company under the DTRs.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.

These forward-looking statements are statements based on the Company's current intentions, beliefs and expectations about among other things, the Company's financial condition, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which the Company operates. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "intends", "estimates", "plans", "assumes" or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.
