Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the renewable energy-focused development company, announces that it has made an application to AIM for the admission of 10,354,250,000 new shares to AIM (the "Allotment Shares") which were previously announced as having been issued and allotted by the Company on its RNS announcements of 27 June 2024, 5 July 2024 and 5 August 2024.  Application for admission to AIM of the Allotment Shares follows the resumption of the Company's trading on AIM.

 

The Allotment Shares comprise the Tranche 1 Placing Shares issued to Peter Williams and announced on 27 June 2024 and 5 July 2024, along with the Peter Williams Tranche 2 Placing Shares, Conversion Shares and Deferred Warrant Shares announced on 5 August 2024.

Total Voting Rights:

The admission of the Allotment Shares, which rank pari passu with all existing ordinary shares, will be on, or around 13 January 2025. Following admission of the Allotment Shares, the Company's total issued share capital consists of 14,715,197,764 ordinary shares of EUR0.0001 each.
