Following Admission there will be a total of 329,272,881 Ordinary Shares in issue.

Mark Routh, Prospex's CEO, commented:

"These last two conversions mark the end of all the GBP1.87 million Convertible Loan Notes issued in July 2022 convertible at 4.25p per share, including all accrued interest.

"This completely clears the debt of this Loan Note instrument, strengthens our balance sheet and further improves our cash position.

"I am very grateful to all of our Loan Note holders for their support and for their confidence in Prospex which during this year has enabled the Company to have become a producer of energy in Italy and Spain, generating cash flow for the company at a time when European gas and electricity prices are increasing."
