Delay in publication of Annual Report

Vulcan Industries plc (AQSE: VULC) announces that the publication of the Annual
Report & Accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024 (due by 30
September 2024) will be delayed and a further announcement will be made in due
course when the Company is in a position to provide an indication of timing for
completion of the preparation of the financial statements and audit work.

Pursuant to Rule 5.1, AQSE will suspend trading in the Company's shares from 7
a.m. on 1st October 2024. Trading is expected to resume once the audited
financial statements have been published.

Company update

Further to the announcement on 27 June 2024, the battery energy storage (BESS)
project FPL250 received its BEGA report, confirming its date of connection to
the Grid as being no later than 2034. The planning process has maintained
progress towards "Ready to Build" (RTB) stage. The Company is evaluating
alternative strategies to exploit the value generated to date.

The Company's secured debt falls due for repayment in the second quarter of
2025. A standstill agreement is in place and the Company is in discussions with
the Lender to restructure this debt going forward.

Further announcements will be made in due course as these matters evolve.
