Conversion of Loan Notes

Active Energy, the London quoted international biomass based renewable energy and forestry management business, announces that certain holders of the convertible loan notes issued by the Company on 14 March 2017 (the "Notes") have elected to convert a total of 470,000 Notes into new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

Accordingly, 13,792,164 new Ordinary Shares (the "Conversion Shares") have been issued to the Note holders in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

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 4 April 2018.  

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 996,863,441 Ordinary Shares with voting rights.  The Company currently holds 33,212,841 Ordinary Shares in Treasury and the figure of 963,650,600 Ordinary 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.
