PowerHouse Energy
Group plc
("PowerHouse" or the "Company")
Placing and Issue
of Equity
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK technology
company pioneering hydrogen production from waste plastic and used
tyres, is pleased to announce an equity fund raising by way of a
placing of 130,000,000 Ordinary shares of 0.5p each in the Company
(“Ordinary Shares”) at 0.5p per Ordinary Share (the “Placing
Price”) to raise £650,000 before expenses.
PowerHouse has undertaken this placing to provide it with the
capital to ensure the continuity and expansion of its commercial
and engineering efforts for the foreseeable future.
This placing, was carried out exclusively by Turner Pope
Investments, with the majority of their clients looking to take
advantage of the EIS relief for which the Company has recently
received HMRC advanced assurance, and that should be available on
the newly issued shares.
In addition to the placing, a holder of PHE warrants has chosen
to exercise those warrants at 0.5p which will provide the Company
with an additional £50,000 of capital from the exercise. That
holder has committed to hold the 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares arising
from the exercise for a period of at least 18 months.
Keith Allaun, CEO of the Company,
said: “With this money secured, we are confident that we will be
able to achieve our on-going commercial objectives as well as
expand our testing and engineering capability with new personnel
and with newly acquired, highly-specialised, equipment. We
also intend to further enhance our IP protection related to the
DMG® System and EcoSynthesis Gas© production.”
Application will be made for the admission of 140,000,000
Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and it is expected that this will
occur on or around 10 December 2018.
These shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the
Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares.
Subsequent to the issue of Ordinary Shares, the Company will
have 1,856,431,621?Ordinary Shares in issue. PowerHouse has no
shares in Treasury, therefore this figure may be used by
Shareholders, from Admission, as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the
share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.

About PowerHouse Energy
PowerHouse Energy has developed a proprietary process technology
- DMG® - which can utilise waste plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and
other waste streams to efficiently and economically convert them
into EcoSynthesis Gas© from which valuable products such
as chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity and other industrial
products may be derived. The PowerHouse technology is one of the
world’s first proven, modular, hydrogen from waste (HfW)
processes.
The PowerHouse DMG® process can generate in excess of 1 tonne of
road-fuel quality H2, and more than 28MW/h of exportable
electricity per day with its low-carbon technology.
The PowerHouse process produces low levels of safe residues and
requires a small operating footprint, making it suitable for
deployment at enterprise and community level.
PowerHouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market
under the ticker: PHE, and is incorporated in the United
Kingdom.
