Conversion of Loan Notes, Warrants and TVR

Prospex Energy PLC, ('Prospex' or the 'Company') the AIM quoted investment company (AIM:PXEN) focused on European gas and power projects, announces that it has issued a total of 10,071,523 ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), following the conversion of warrants over Ordinary Shares ("Warrants") and the conversion of convertible loan notes granted in December 2020 (the "2020 CLNs"). 

1,338,282 Warrants have been converted by one individual and one organisation who were granted the Warrants pursuant to a warrant agreement dated 23 December 2020 and as announced by the Company on 24 December 2020.  The warrants have been exercised at 2.25p and therefore the Company has received £19.025.99 as a result of the conversion. The Company has issued 1,338,282 new Ordinary Shares as a result of the conversion.

The conversion of the 2020 CLNs will cancel a total of £179,031.56 convertible loan notes, thus improving the Company's balance sheet by that amount.  The 2020 CLNs are being converted at a price of 2.05p and were issued to six individuals, two organisations and a pension fund pursuant to a loan note instrument dated 23 December 2020 and also announced by the Company on 24 December 2020.  Following the conversion, £36,806.69 of the 2020 CLNs issued pursuant to the same instrument are outstanding.  The Company has issued 8,733,241 new Ordinary Shares as a result of the conversion.  As part of the 2020 CLN conversion the accrued interest since 23 December 2020 of £4,359.94 will be paid in cash to the loan note holders. 

Two of the Company's directors are converting all of their 2020 CLNs (one via a SIPP).  As they are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility, ('PDMR'), the required PDMR forms are set out below this announcement.

The Company has today applied to the London Stock Exchange for admission of, in aggregate, 10,071,523 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ('Admission').  Admission is expected to occur on or around 1 October 2021.  On 30 September 2021 there will be 165,443,312 Ordinary Shares in issue and 7,361 shares held in Treasury.  Following Admission, there will be 175,514,835 Ordinary Shares in issue.  Deducting the 7,361 held in Treasury there will accordingly be 175,507,474 Ordinary Shares that may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
