FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Good Energy Group PLC
("Good Energy" or "the Company")
Response to lapse of hostile offer by Ecotricity Group Limited ("Ecotricity")
The Board of Good Energy (AIM: GOOD) acknowledges the lapse of Ecotricity's hostile offer.
The Board wishes to thank Good Energy shareholders for their support and looks forward to delivering on the strategy outlined in the offer response.
Will Whitehorn, Chair of Good Energy, said:
"In the current turbulence of the wider energy market caused largely by fossil fuel prices and scarcity, the Company's strategy for digitised, localised clean energy and electric vehicle services is more relevant and more urgently needed than ever.
"We consider the rejection of the hostile offer a resounding endorsement of that from shareholders and are now fully focussed on delivering our vision with their backing."
