Southport Project Co-Development and Option Agreement Extension

 

EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT), a world-leading gasification solutions company that is building the future of a cleaner waste-to-energy industry , announces that, further to its announcement of 7 September 2020, it has agreed to extend the option period as set out in the Co-Development and Option Agreement with Rotunda Group Ltd. ("Rotunda") and its subsidiary Shankley Biogas Ltd. It is expected that the agreement will involve EQTEC taking full ownership of the Southport Hybrid Energy Park project from Rotunda through the acquisition of Shankley Biogas Ltd, the Project SPV.

 

Despite best efforts by all parties to conclude the acquisition prior to the end of the option period, an unanticipated Covid-19 related delay occurred and this has led to the mutually agreed extension to the option period to 30 September 2021.

 

The parties have agreed all commercial terms, are in the final stages of the legal process and expect the acquisition to be completed in the coming weeks.

 

This announcement contains inside information as defined in Article 7 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 and has been announced in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of that Regulation.
