MOLECULAR ENERGIES PLC

("Molecular" or the "Company")

 

Director Share Purchase

 

Molecular Energies plc (AIM: MEN), the international energy company, announces it has today been informed that on 2 April 2024, PLLG Investments Limited, a company wholly beneficially owned by Peter Levine, Chairman and largest shareholder in the Company, acquired 262,000 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 7p per Ordinary Share (the "Share Purchase"). This reflects the statement made by Peter Levine in the Company's announcement of 28 March 2024 (the "Announcement") that he has "conviction in the value of Molecular as a whole" as a private enterprise and notwithstanding the proposed cancellation of the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. Peter Levine reiterates the statement made in the Announcement that he "invite[s] any shareholders so minded to continue the journey alongside" but that "whilst making no commitment to do so, I do not rule out in the fullness of time and subject to de-listing and on becoming a private company making proposals to buy the shares of certain of those holders who either do not wish or are unable to be invested in a private business". Peter Levine is currently restricted from acquiring further Ordinary Shares without making a logistically burdensome general offer to all other shareholders since the Takeover Code continues to apply to the Company.

Following the Share Purchase, Peter Levine has a beneficial interest in 3,269,267 Ordinary Shares representing 26.41 per cent. of the issued share capital. Peter Levine and those acting in concert with him have combined beneficial interest in 3,705,981 Ordinary Shares representing 29.94 per cent. of the issued share capital.
