Vinh Phuc Energy has agreed to sell to the Company 7.5% of its 15%
equity interest in Coro Renewables VN1 Joint Stock Company which is
the Vietnamese holding company for Coro's investments in Vietnam
including Coro Renewables Vietnam Company Limited which holds the
operational 3MW rooftop solar project.

immediate cash payment of US$100,000. A further GBP150,000 in
shares of the Company priced at GBP0.004 per share (a 67% premium

Company at that same price in the event that Coro achieves 100MW of
solar generation in Vietnam will also be issued to one of the
vendors as part of the transaction. The initial tranche of shares
will be issued when the Company has secured sufficient authority
from its shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting likely to
be in June 2024 or a General Meeting if earlier.

"Following our recent Philippines partner restructuring, we are
delighted to announce a similar restructuring in Vietnam. This
transaction, timed as we move towards finalising our previously
announced Vietnam funding arrangements with a view to initiating
our rollout of the 50MW rooftop solar project, increases Coro's
equity in the Vietnamese business and aligns our partners with
Coro's shareholders."
