Update regarding publication of the Company's Accounts & Admission of the Placing Shares

Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the renewable energy-focused development company, announces that whilst the audit preparation for the Financial Statements to 31 December 2023 ("Accounts") has been ongoing, the Accounts are unlikely to be published by 30 June 2024 as required by the AIM Rules. The Company is working diligently to have the Accounts ready for publication at the end of July to early August and will update the market should there be any change to this date.

Accordingly, and pursuant to AIM Rule 19, the Exchange will suspend trading in the Company's shares with effect from 07h30 on 1 July 2024.

The Company also announces that in relation to the Placing announced on 20 June 2024, admission of the 3,400,000,000 Placing Shares will now happen in two tranches: the first tranche of 2,400,000,000 Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on 27 June 2024 as originally announced whilst the second tranche, being 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, will be admitted at the time trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM resumes as referenced above.

Total Voting Rights:

Following Admission of the first tranche of Placing Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 6,760,947,764 Ordinary Shares of EUR0.0001 each. This figure may then 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 pursuant to the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
