Permitting update

BERKELEY ENERGIA LIMITED

NEWS RELEASE | 27 December 2023

Permitting update

Berkeley Energia Limited ("Berkeley" or the "Company") advises that it has received formal notifications from the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León ("TSJ") which uphold the appeals submitted by the appellants to revoke the first instance judgements related to the Authorization of Exceptional Use of the Land ("AEUL") and the Urbanism Licence ("UL"), and annules both the AEUL and UL.

The AEUL and the UL were granted to the Company in July 2017 and August 2020 by the Regional Commission of Environment and Urbanism, and the Municipality of Retortillo respectively.

As previously disclosed, a non-governmental organisation, Plataforma Stop Uranio, and the city council of Villavieja de Yeltes ("the appellants") subsequently filed administrative appeals against the AEUL and the UL at the first instance courts in Salamanca. The administrative appeals against the AEUL and UL were dismissed in September 2022 and January 2023 respectively. One of the appellants subsequently lodged appeals before the TSJ, and the TSJ has now delivered judgements which revoke the first instance judgements and declare the AEUL and the UL null.

The Company strongly disagrees with the fundamentals of the TSJ's judgements and it will submit appeals against the TSJ judgements before the Supreme Court under Spanish law to defend its position and take all necessary actions to preserve its rights.

The Company will continue to update the market in relation to this matter as required.
