UPON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT VIA A REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE, THIS INSIDE INFORMATION IS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. For immediate release 25 July 2023 AMTE Power Plc Loan facility to facilitate proposed equity raise Further to its earlier announcements, most recently on 20 July 2023, AMTE Power Plc (AIM: AMTE) ("AMTE Power" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiary undertakings, the "Group"), a leading developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells for specialist markets, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a new secured GBP1.0 million loan facility (the "Facility") with Arena Investors LP ("Arena") in order to provide sufficient time for the Company and a potential new equity investor (the "Equity Investor") to complete a proposed initial equity investment of GBP2.5 million (the "Proposed Subscription") (together, the "Initial Recapitalisation Plan"). Funds under the Facility will be made available to the Group in two equal tranches of GBP0.5 million each, the first of which will be drawn down within two business days. The second tranche will be available to be drawn down upon mutual written consent between Arena and the Company. The Facility, which bears no interest but is fully secured over the assets of the Company, is repayable in full at 110 percent of the total amount drawndown on the earlier of: (a) the completion of the Proposed Subscription; or (b) the date falling three months following entry into the Facility. In addition to providing this Facility, Arena has agreed to relinquish the conversion rights attaching to its pre-existing convertible bond facility (the "CBF"), announced on 17 October 2022, of which GBP4.0 million has been drawn down to date, with GBP3.75 million outstanding. The Company and Arena are due to formalise an agreement to repay amounts drawn down under the CBF as to GBP1.0 million on the first anniversary of the bridge loan agreement, subject to available funds, with the balance due on the second anniversary. In consideration for this amendment, the Company and Arena will enter into documentation granting Arena warrants to subscribe for 2 percent of the share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Initial Recapitalisation Plan at a 100 percent premium to the issue price thereunder. The warrants will become exercisable 12 months following the subscription under the Initial Recapitalisation Plan with a duration of 24 months from issue. Additionally, the Company has granted Arena security over the Company's assets for the full loan. The Equity Investor has conditionally proposed to subscribe GBP2.5 million, at an indicative price, subject to due diligence and certain other conditions, of 1.7 pence per share for 147,058,823 new ordinary shares of 0.5p each in the capital of the Company, which would result in the Equity Investor holding 80 percent of the issued share capital of the Company, as enlarged by such subscription. The Proposed Subscription of GBP2.5 million will, if completed, provide the Company with sufficient financial resources to the end of September 2023. However the Equity Investor has indicated that, following its Proposed Subscription and at its own discretion, it intends to implement a financial solution for the Group, including providing for future funding requirements. The Equity Investor would also have the sole discretion to allow the investment in the Company under the terms of the Initial Recapitalisation Plan to be extended to other investors. The Company notes that the terms and quantum of the Initial Recapitalisation Plan and any funding beyond has yet to be agreed and remains uncertain at this stage. At this stage, discussions on the Initial Recapitalisation Plan remain at an early stage and there can be no certainty that these discussions will be successfully concluded, nor the terms or timing thereof. The Initial Recapitalisation Plan would be subject to, amongst other things: (i) the Equity Investor satisfactorily concluding its internal procedures and due diligence; (ii) the Takeover Panel agreeing to waive the obligation under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers to make a mandatory offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company, subject to the approval of the independent shareholders; (iii) the Investment Security Unit of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy approving the Proposed Subscription in accordance with the terms of the National Security and Investment Act 2021; and (iv) the Company obtaining the necessary shareholder authorities at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company to issue the Subscription Shares. Further announcements will be made in due course. Alan Hollis, CEO at AMTE Power, said: "I am very pleased to announce the bridging loan to be provided by Arena, which buys AMTE Power the time and financial resources to allow the Equity Investor to complete its due diligence and internal procedures ahead of some much needed further investment in the business." The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Anita Breslin, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Enquiries |

However, given the further passage of time since the most recent announcement on 29 June 2023, the Company's financial situation is becoming ever more critical. Having managed its resources, the Company now needs to implement a solution within the next few business days. Whilst active discussions continue with existing and potential investors, there can be no certainty of the outcome of these discussions, in which case putting the Company into administration is ever more likely. In the event that the Company is put into administration, trading of its shares on AIM would be suspended with immediate effect. Accordingly, should the Company be unable to secure additional funding, the prospects for recovery of value, if any, by shareholders would be remote. Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate. |

Posted at 23/8/2022 08:58 by ireminisces AMTE POWER PLC("AMTE Power", "AMTE" or the "Company") Operational and Trading Update "Powering ahead with battery cell production and strategic plans" AMTE Power Plc, the developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells for specialist markets, is pleased to provide an update ahead of announcing its full year results for the year ended 30 June 2022. AMTE is a leading high-performance battery cell developer and one of the only companies manufacturing battery cells in the UK today with established commercial partnerships in place. The business operates at the heart of the UK's drive towards net zero carbon emissions and has a range of high-performance lithium and sodium ion cells along with an extensive IP portfolio. AMTE is currently focused on the delivery of high-performance cells into the energy storage and specialist automotive markets. Highlights: -- Automotive sector Ultra High Power cells: o Extensive on-going trials show the cells have consistently achieved a full charge within six-minutes. o Cells manufactured on GigaFactory equipment at UKBIC delivering exceptionally well against the Company's target specification at ever increasing volumes. o Five non-binding MoUs signed with key automotive partners: Cosworth, Viritec, MAHLE Powertrain, Sprint Power and BMW. -- Energy storage sector Ultra Safe cells: o Cell development is nearing completion having reached its energy density specification of 140 Wh/kg. o Planned to commence production at Thurso later this year for delivery to customers for initial evaluation and project and supply validation. -- Ultra Prime: initial sales expected to commence in FY24, with production centred on Thurso. -- Overall pipeline of opportunities in excess of GBP240m. -- Focusing on the Thurso production facilities and UKBIC will enable AMTE Power to leverage its competitive advantages and development pipeline to drive the next stage of its growth towards the MegaFactory -- AMTE Power plans to have its new, state of the art 0.5GWh MegaFactory in Dundee ready within three years. The facility will be capable of producing more than 8 million cells with a revenue stream in excess of GBP200m. -- Company is trading in line with the Board's expectations. Operational successes AMTE Power continues to make good progress in accordance with its plans across its three core cell products: Ultra High Power, Ultra Safe and Ultra Prime. These differentiated products are focused on the high power, specialist automotive and energy storage sectors, with properties outpacing other cells currently in the market. The business currently has a number of key commercial opportunities for its products and a strengthening overall pipeline of opportunities being discussed with an unweighted value in excess of GBP240m. Ultra High Power These cells are ideally suited to key automotive sectors of high-performance electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles, with an increasing number of automotive original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") committing to fuel cell electric vehicle production. The Ultra High Power cells that are currently being produced on GigaFactory production equipment at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre ('UKBIC') are delivering exceptionally well against the Company's target specification, at ever increasing volumes. Testing shows a very low internal resistance, which allows both very fast charging and exceptional power delivery. Extensive trials have taken place and whilst tests are still ongoing, the cells have consistently achieved a full charge within six-minutes in initial testing, with further tests planned in the coming weeks. This builds upon 1,000 charging tests previously completed and supported by Imperial College. The Company has currently signed five non-binding memoranda of understanding for the cell with key automotive partners as it moves toward supply contracts that will be supported by AMTE's Dundee MegaFactory scale up, as announced on 28 July 2022. Combined, these steps will significantly reduce risk of delivery. Ultra Safe With the continued challenges on pricing of key materials for batteries, there is significant interest in AMTE Power's sodium ion cell, Ultra Safe, for energy storage systems. This cell uses no lithium, cobalt or copper and is more cost effective, safer and sustainable than lithium cells. It is, therefore, viewed as a natural alternative for many applications to lithium-based battery products, with interest and engagements through much of the value chain from major energy generators to home energy storage producers. Cell development is nearing completion, with the cell having reached its energy density specification of 140 Wh/kg. It has been designed for energy storage applications and is planned to commence production at Thurso later this year for delivery to customers for initial evaluation and project and supply validation. In March 2022, the Company announced a contracted initial order of 1,000 cells from AceOn for its portable energy storage unit. The Board anticipates that further contracts will be entered into as AMTE prepares to invest in its Dundee MegaFactory. Ultra Prime Ultra Prime is a non-rechargeable cell designed for use in some of the most difficult environments on earth, with very high energy density and high-temperature performance. This cell also has a low self-discharge, making it well suited for applications where temperature, access and long duration of charge retention are key considerations. AMTE Power's Ultra Prime cell continues to progress to schedule and to demonstrate the performance expected. AMTE Power has a contracted supply agreement in place for this cell and is now progressing to initial supply and trials with that customer. Route Map to Commercial Sales In order to execute on strong interest from customers of its Ultra High Power cells, the Company is seeking to utilise the UKBIC where the UK Government has invested GBP130m into a high-rate cell production facility. Discussions are ongoing with the UKBIC in relation to this, with the expectation of initial customer purchase orders being contracted later in the year, followed by larger volume contracts, underpinning the construction of the Dundee MegaFactory. For its Ultra Safe cell, the Company will look to utilise its Thurso site to initially supply product to customers, prior to moving to the Dundee MegaFactory. For its Ultra Prime cell the Company will look to utilise its Thurso site to supply product to customers with initial sales expected to commence in FY2024. Focusing on the Thurso production facilities and UKBIC will enable AMTE Power to leverage its competitive advantages and development pipeline to drive the next stage of its growth towards the MegaFactory. MegaFactory AMTE Power plans to have its new, state of the art 0.5GWh MegaFactory in Dundee ready within three years. The facility will be capable of producing annually more than 8 million cells with a revenue stream in excess of GBP200m. Due to the high value nature of AMTE Power's products, a factory can be profitable at a smaller scale than the size of factories at multiple GWh size, benefiting from quicker commissioning time, more flexibility in location, less investment and a faster path to profitability. AMTE Power considers this as a strong stepping- stone towards building GigaFactories in the future. AMTE Power has received an indicative offer letter from Scottish Enterprise regarding a potential package of funding and business support and discussions continue towards a final grant. The Company will provide further updates as appropriate. The Company's Australian joint venture company, Bardan Cells, continues to pursue its commercialisation strategy to manufacture, leveraging the Ultra Storage cell which is planned to be completed in the calendar year. Commercial Market Backdrop AMTE Power is working on new commercial partnerships, as well as progressing existing commercial and development partnerships including with Cosworth, Viritec, MAHLE Powertrain, Sprint Power and BMW, towards firmer commercial agreements. The Directors believe that installations of home energy storage batteries will rise from 6GWh in 2019 to 155GWh annually by 2030 (Source: Bloomberg). Currently only five per cent of the energy used to heat homes today comes from low-carbon sources and massive growth is expected as part of the transition to net zero in the next 15 to 20 years. In the electric vehicle market, the UK Government has set a 2030 deadline to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars. In addition, legislation is coming into force in just two years' time which will stipulate that batteries for electric vehicles made in the EU or UK need to be manufactured with at least 50 per cent of locally sourced materials by value in order to avoid tariffs. Financial Performance & Notice of Results The Company is trading in-line with the Board's expectations and expects to announce its full year results for the year ended 30 June 2022 in November. Broadening Management Team As AMTE Power progresses towards commercialisation of its high-performance advanced cells and building its MegaFactory, the Board is undertaking a process to complement the senior executive and wider management team in order to put in place additional skills and expertise for the next stage of the business' growth. AMTE Power's Chief Financial Officer, James Hobson, has advised the Board that he has received an approach concerning a new role, which he is considering. He would in any case not leave AMTE until 30 November 2022, and will play a full and active role in the business and support a seamless transition. Kevin Brundish, CEO, AMTE Power, said: "It is an exciting time for AMTE Power. We are on the cusp of commercial volume production for our high-value cells, and we continue to see a huge amount of customer interest in our products. Our products and expertise will play a fundamental part in the UK energy transition, and we remain passionate about reaching a net zero economy. We are today confirming that the business is trading in line with our expectations. Looking ahead, the AMTE Power team is working incredibly hard on all fronts to deliver on our range of products and strategic goals. We look forward to keeping all stakeholders updated on our future successes." |
