Italia MDC Update and Share Ownership

MetalNRG plc (LON:MNRG), the natural resources and energy investment company, announces that the share capital ownership of EQTEC Italia MDC Srl ("Italia MDC"), the company operating a waste to energy plant in Tuscany, has been formally updated to reflect recent investments made into the 1 MWe biomass-to-power plant, as part of the legal preparation for the drawdown of financing provided by Banca del Fucino S.p.A., as announced on 4 September 2023.

The Company announced on 4 September 2023 that Italia MDC had entered into a loan facility of €2.9 million provided by the Lender to refinance the Plant, subject to the Plant's achievement of certain performance criteria set by the Lender.

The improvements are being financed through a combination of shareholder loans and equity from two of the four investors in Italia MDC, Quainstone Limited and EQTEC Holdings Limited, resulting in a change to relative ownership of Italia MDC, which the shareholders have recorded officially with the Italian authorities as of 3 November 2023. The updated capital ownership of the Plant is as follows:
