Notes to editors:

InfraStrata is a London Stock Exchange-quoted group focused on strategic infrastructure projects.

The Company owns and operates the assets of Harland & Wolff in Belfast, which boasts two of the largest dry docks in Europe and one of only two docks licenced for marine waste disposal in the UK. The Harland & Wolff site generates revenue from the fabrication, repair, conversion, recycling and support services for ships and assets in the defence, commercial, cruise and energy sectors. Importantly, Harland & Wolff is one of only three UK shipbuilders suitable for major MOD contract work and has the only dock suitable for major cruise vessels in the UK. In addition to the above, the Company will utilise the 30,000m(2) of undercover fabrication facilities for the Islandmagee gas storage project in the future.

The Islandmagee gas storage project is expected to provide 25% of the UK's natural gas storage capacity and to benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when completed. Given that the Committee on Climate Change has advised that the UK will still need a significant quantity of natural gas by 2050 - about 70% of today's consumption - the market opportunity for this project is compelling.

Mindful of the fact that safe, secure and flexible sources of energy are needed for a sustainable future, InfraStrata is focused on providing investors with exposure to a growing portfolio of UK, European and international energy infrastructure projects. With this in mind, the Company's highly experienced team is focused on acquiring, developing and commercialising innovative infrastructure projects around the world.
