GENERAL INFORMATION

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This document contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's or the Directors' expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statement that refers to projections, forecasts or other characterisations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, is a forward-looking statement. The words "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "might", "plan", "possible", "potential", "predict", "project", "seek", "should", "would" and similar expressions, or in each case their negatives, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company, a Business Combination, the business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company's actual financial condition, actual results of operations and financial performance, and the development of the industries in which it operates or will operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. In addition, even if the Company's financial condition, results of operations and the development of the industries in which it operates or will operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this document, those results or developments may not be indicative of financial condition, results of operations or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global, political, economic, social, business, technological, competitive, market and regulatory conditions.

Any forward-looking statement contained in this document applies only as of the date of this document and is expressly qualified in its entirety by these cautionary statements. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this document to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement contained in this document is based, unless required to do so by applicable law, the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Listing Rules, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA or Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the "UK Market Abuse Regulation").

Extension of Business Combination Deadline

Amendment of the Articles of Association

Notice of General Meeting

1. INTRODUCTION

Today, New Energy One Acquisition Corporation Plc ("NEOA" or the "Company"), a special purpose acquisition company, announced that it is seeking shareholder approval to extend the deadline by which it may complete a Business Combination to 15 March 2024.

NEOA was formed with the objective of offering a differentiated opportunity to invest in leaders in the Energy Transition sector, with a specific focus on the decarbonisation of fossil fuels. NEOA's management has been focused on pursuing a Business Combination with a target company or business that is positioned to participate in or benefit from the global transition towards a low carbon economy. Within the Energy Transition sector and among the opportunities that NEOA has reviewed and continues to review, NEOA considers the carbon, capture, utilisation and storage ("CCUS") business most compelling.

NEOA has engaged with a select number of opportunities about a potential Business Combination in the Energy Transition sector and, in particular, across the CCUS value chain. NEOA's ambition is to create:

  • amongst the first pure-play publicly listed CCUS companies; and
  • a business operating across the CCUS value chain, incorporating carbon management, capture, utilisation, transportation and storage.

NEOA has signed a non-binding letter of intent in respect of one such CCUS opportunity.

Negotiations in relation to that potential Business Combination are at a preliminary stage and, while there is no certainty that any transaction can be completed, NEOA remains confident that with the benefit of this extension it would be able to complete this or another Business Combination.

NEOA has retained M&A advisers and legal counsel to assist with a potential Business Combination.

The proposed extension will require an amendment to the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles of Association") which currently require the Company to complete a Business Combination by no later than the date falling fifteen months after the settlement date of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), being 16 June 2023.
