Share Consolidation

Details of the Consolidation of the Company's ordinary shares, approved at today's AGM, were set out in the Company's announcement on 10 June 2022, including the timetable of events. Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Following Admission, the new ISIN code for the Company's ordinary shares of £0.0035 each will be GB00BPG7NS80 and their new SEDOL code will be BPG7NS8.

As set out in the Company's announcement on 10 June 2022, to effect the Consolidation it is necessary to issue such minimum number of additional Existing Ordinary Shares so that the aggregate nominal value of the ordinary share capital of the Company is exactly divisible by 35. Therefore, 15 Existing Ordinary Shares will be issued at nominal value today, prior to the Consolidation.

Total Voting Rights

Upon Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 161,863,136 ordinary shares of £0.0035 each with one voting right each. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 161,863,136. With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the announcement published on 10 June 2022.

OTCQB

Following the Consolidation, the Directors believe that the Company's share price will comply with the rules for listing on the OTCQB and the Company will therefore be able to proceed with its OTCQB listing. The Board feels that this is a positive step for AEG, as it transitions towards ramping up operations at the Ashland Facility in Maine, USA. A further announcement will be made once this has completed.
