Placing to Raise GBP3.85m

redT energy plc (AIM: RED), the energy storage solutions company, is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of GBP3.85 million (before expenses) from institutional investors through the placing by VSA Capital of 65,392,342 ordinary shares of EUR0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 5.9 pence per share (the "Placing Price").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds it receives from the Placing, which was considerably oversubscribed, to support the continued growth of the business, including the development of further product generations to satisfy the Company's orders and pipeline of customer interest.

Details of the Placing

The Placing is subject, inter alia, to admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 19 April 2018. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission of the Placing Shares, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 719,315,766 Ordinary Shares. The Company has no shares in treasury. This figure of 719,315,766 Ordinary Shares should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Scott McGregor, CEO, redT energy commented:

"We are delighted with the interest we have received for this Placing both from existing and new institutional investors.

redT is now leading the energy storage sector in the UK, providing secure economic returns for the commercial sector to embrace distributed energy by coupling solar generation with energy storage. The Placing ensures that we have the resources in place to capture the significant global market opportunity in front of us."
