 COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, 
  IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING 
  POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE 
  TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED: 
 Dial Square Investments plc was incorporated in England and 
  Wales on 15 February 2021 as a public limited company with 
  limited liability under the Companies Act with registered number 
  13201653. 
  Dial Square's shares were admitted to trading as a Standard 
  Listing on the Main Market on 30 November 2022 for the purpose 
  of undertaking one or more acquisitions. On 10 March 2023 Dial 
  Square announced that it had entered into heads of terms to 
  acquire 100 percent of the issued and to be issued share capital 
  of EnergyPathways Limited ("EnergyPathways") by means of a 
  reverse takeover. On admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares 
  to trading on AIM, the Company intends to cancel its listing 
  on the Standard List. 
  EnergyPathways is an integrated energy transition company, 
  initially targeting development of UK gas assets, with the 
  aim of bringing these into production, in the near-term, to 
  provide low emission energy solutions to assist with the UK's 
  transition to net zero while also providing critical energy 
  security to the UK. 
  EnergyPathways holds, via its wholly-owned subsidiary, a 100 
  per cent. interest in block 110/4a in Seaward Licence P2490 
  that contains the Marram gas field ("Marram Field"), located 
  30km west of mainland UK, close to existing infrastructure 
  in the UK waters of the UK Irish Sea Basin. 
  The Marram Field, which was discovered in 1993, is estimated 
  to contain 35.3 Bcf of undeveloped gas 2P Reserves and lies 
  approximately 15km east of the existing offshore South Morecambe 
  Gas Platform and 20-25 km from gas trunklines to shore. 
  In the Marram Field, EnergyPathways has identified what it 
  considers to be a 'ready-to-go' gas development asset, in that 
  it has been fully appraised and has low sub surface technical 
  risk. It is also able to be brought into production quickly, 
  due to its simple tie-back development plan to existing infrastructure. 
  EnergyPathways is targeting first gas from the Marram Field 
  in 2025. 
  The Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that natural 
  gas is a bridging fuel with a key role to play in the UK's 
  energy transition to net zero and providing energy security. 
  It is their view that a successful development of the Marram 
  Field has the potential to make a favourable contribution towards 
  reducing UK emissions providing energy security. The volatility 
  experienced in the UK energy market during 2022 and into 2023, 
  resulting from years of under-investment in oil and gas projects 
  and exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine, has highlighted 
  the necessity for development of domestic gas projects such 
  as the Marram Field. 
  The Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that the undeveloped 
  potential gas resources identified by EnergyPathways in the 
  UK Irish Sea- which may be up to 2 TCF - are ideally suited 
  for integration with the clean energy technologies and assets 
  in the region to develop reliable, cost competitive low emission 
  energy supply. The UK Irish Sea region contains major renewable 
  wind generation capacity, reservoirs suited to natural gas 
  and hydrogen energy storage and CCUS and existing energy infrastructure. 
  The UK's leading hydrogen hub development is also nearby. The 
  co-location of these energy assets offers the opportunity for 
  cost-effective integration. Gas power generation is set to 
  have a critical role in providing flexible energy supply as 
  intermittent renewable wind energy generation increases. In 
  this regard, available UK domestic gas, along with stored gas, 
  will be critical in providing back up capacity. Further ahead, 
  the development of a hydrogen economy in the UK will be driven 
  initially by using gas feedstock, gas reforming technologies 
  and CCUS. 
  The Enlarged Group's initial focus will be the development 
  of the Marram Field, however it also plans to generate shareholder 
  value by playing a wider role in providing the UK with energy 
  security and net zero energy solutions. In line with this, 
  it has submitted applications to the NSTA for the award of 
  additional licences with undeveloped gas resources in the UK 
  Irish Sea. EnergyPathways intends to support UK energy security 
  with new domestic gas production and in doing so, displace 
  high emission imported LNG, thereby reducing the UK's net carbon 
  footprint. The Directors and the Proposed Directors anticipate 
  that there may also be potential to integrate new production 
  with the nearby wind renewable capacity to provide flexible 
  power generation capacity for grid stability, CCUS and hydrogen 
  storage reservoirs and feedstock for hydrogen production. It 
  also intends to consider opportunities to participate in other 
  selected discovered gas fields and energy transition opportunities 
  in the region and across the UK more broadly where integration 
  opportunities exist.
