Result of EGM

redT energy plc (AIM:RED), to be renamed Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM:IES), is pleased to announce that at the Extraordinary General Meeting which took place at 11.00 a.m. today, all Resolutions were duly passed. 

Upon Admission, the Merger between the Company and Avalon Battery Corporation will complete to form Invinity Energy Systems plc ("Invinity"), heralding the start of an exciting new chapter for the combined company. 

Also, as a result of the Resolutions passed today, the Company's Ordinary Shares will be consolidated to form Consolidated Ordinary Shares at a rate of 1 Consolidated Ordinary Share for every 50 Ordinary Shares. On the Share Consolidation, all Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest 50 Ordinary Shares, in contrast to the fractional entitlements previously stated.

The Company also wishes to provide an update to its announcement on 16 March 2020. Due to recent fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, the number of Conversion Shares that will be issued to Bushveld has been revised to 302,978,063 Ordinary Shares (pre-Share Consolidation). The additional shares will be allotted using the Directors' general authority to allot, pursuant to Resolution 4 passed today. These Conversion Shares will not be subject to lock-in arrangements, which is a correction to the information included in the Company's announcement on 16 March 2020.

Application has been made for a total of 69,567,788    Consolidated Ordinary Shares (comprising the Existing Ordinary Shares and the New Ordinary Shares on a post-consolidation basis) to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission of these Consolidated Ordinary Shares will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 2 April 2020.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Admission Document sent to Shareholders on 13 March 2020.

Neil O'Brien, Chairman of the Company commented:

"I am delighted today that shareholders have approved this merger.  redT and Avalon coming together to form Invinity is the result of a lot of hard work by both companies and it is now that we will see the opportunities begin to open up for Invinity's vanadium flow technology in a world that is going to need increasing amounts of energy storage as we move towards a renewable energy future.  In uncertain times, we are very grateful for the support of shareholders in getting us to this point."
