Receipt of London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark

HydrogenOne Capital Growth plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that following its shares being admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities today, the Company has received London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark.

This classification, first introduced in 2019, was created to highlight companies and investment funds listed on all segments of London Stock Exchange's Main Market and AIM that are driving the global green economy. To qualify for the Green Economy Mark, companies and funds must generate 50% or more of their total annual revenues from products and services that contribute to the global green economy.

The underlying methodology incorporates the Green Revenues data model developed by FTSE Russell. It provides a detailed taxonomy of environmental goods, products and services, and is designed to recognise both 'pure-play' green technology companies, as well as those across all industries that make significant contributions to the transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy.

The Company is the first London listed hydrogen fund, offering growth potential in clean hydrogen and related technologies. The Company offers investors diversified exposure to private equity and listed hydrogen companies on an international basis.

Simon Hogan, Chairman of the Company, commented:   "We have strong ESG credentials and welcome London Stock Exchange's recognition of our contribution to the energy transition towards net zero.  We believe that clean hydrogen will play a crucial role in this and our fund is structured to capture opportunities created by the transition across the value chain."
