Update in relation to Aeristech Limited

Sabien (AIM: SNT), a leading provider of energy reduction technologies, announces that it has reviewed the value of its minority investment in Aeristech Limited ("Aeristech"). This follows the Company being informed that Aeristech will be placed into administration.

On 26 February 2021, Sabien announced that it had invested £100,000 at £2.40 per share into Aeristech, a UK-based manufacturer of power-dense compressors used within hydrogen fuel cells. 

During the period following Sabien's investment, Aeristech regularly raised funds in excess of £2.40 per share. Despite this, the board of directors of Sabien (the "Board") was surprised to learn of the recent demise of Aeristech and that it will be placed into administration.

In light of this, the Board no longer expects to recover any of its investment in Aeristech. Accordingly, a full impairment provision will be made in the interim accounts for the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2024 which are due to be announced before the end of March 2025.

Richard Parris, Executive Chairman of Sabien, commented: "It was very disappointing to learn of the administration of Aeristech. The company had a highly innovative product with significant carbon reduction potential. Sabien continues to seek aggregation opportunities in the green technology sector but will place increasing emphasis on intellectual property that we can develop and exploit in-house."
