Update on Placing and

Appointment of Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker

Further to its announcement on 28 February 2024, Verditek plc (AIM: VDTK) announces completion of the disposal of its solar business, Verditek Solar Italy srl, the resignation with immediate effect of The Rt Hon. Lord David Willetts, Robert Richards and George Katzaros and the appointment of Bob Holt and John Charlton as directors of the Company. Further details pursuant to AIM Rule 17 and Schedule Two (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies are set out below.

The Company is now regarded as an AIM Rule 15 cash shell, having ceased to own, control, or conduct all or substantially all, of its existing trading business, activities, or assets. The Company will therefore, within 6 months, need to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14, failing which trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be suspended. Should the Company's shares remain suspended from trading for 6 months, admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled under AIM Rule 41.

Update on Placing

Further to its announcement on 28 February 2024, the Company announces that, while the proceeds of the placing have been received, for technical reasons, it is not yet in a position to issue the new shares and therefore admission of 400 million new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing") to trading on AIM ("Admission") will not take place as expected at 8.00 a.m. on 1 March 2024. It is expected that the new shares will be issued and Admission will take place early next week. A further announcement will be made in due course. Taking into account receipt of the net proceeds of the Placing, the Company confirms that it has sufficient working capital for six months from the date of this announcement.

Appointment of Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker

The Company also announces the appointment of Shore Capital and Corporate Limited as its Nominated Adviser and Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited as its Joint Broker with immediate effect. WH Ireland will continue as Joint Broker to the Company.
