Active Energy, the London quoted international biomass based renewable energy and forestry management business, announces that a holder of convertible loan notes issued by the Company on 14 March 2018 (the "Notes") has elected to convert a total of 150,000 Notes into new ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

Accordingly, 4,081,955new Ordinary Shares (the "Conversion Shares") have been issued to the noteholder in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

Additionally, the Company haselected to cancel the 33,212,841 Ordinary Shares of which are held in Treasury (the "Cancellation Shares"). The Cancellation Shares were part of the62,500,000 Ordinary Shares that the Company transferred to Treasury in 2014 (the "Treasury Shares"), as detailed in the Company'sannouncement dated 8 May 2014. The balance of 29,287,159Treasury Shares had been previously allotted to a strategic partner, as detailed in the Company's announcement dated 24 November 2016.

Total Voting Rights

Application has been made for the Conversion Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings will commence at 8:00am on or around 11 October2018.

Following the above changes, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise1,036,906,951Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company will no longerhold any Treasury Shares and therefore the figure of1,036,906,951Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
