("Proton Motor" or the "Company")

Update on financing and proposed cancellation from AIM

Proton Motor Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), the designer, developer and producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems with a zero-carbon footprint, provides the following update.

Further to the announcement on 20 November 2024, the Board is now exploring the possibility of continuing the Company's operations on a significantly reduced cost basis. In order to do this, it would be required to secure settlement with its outstanding creditors (save for the debts owed to its lenders under its debt facilities) and minimise the level of ongoing contractual obligations, there are therefore no guarantees that it will be able to achieve this. Notwithstanding this, it is still the intention of the Board to seek a cancellation of the Company's ordinary shares from trading on AIM as it does not believe it would be appropriate to maintain the AIM admission on the reduced cost base. A circular providing further details of the proposed cancellation is expected to be published early in the New Year.

In the intervening period, the Company has sufficient cash resources to continue to trade solvently, utilising the funding received under its debt facilities, together with the cash generated from operations and an R&D tax credit that is expected to be received in early 2025. Further updates will be provided in due course.
