FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Good Energy Group PLC

("Good Energy" or the "Company")

Extension of PUSU deadline

On 28 October 2024, the Board of Directors of Good Energy (the "Board") announced that it had received an indicative, non-binding proposal from Esyasoft Holding Limited ("Esyasoft") relating to a possible offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company.

In order to allow further time for Esyasoft to progress its due diligence exercise, the Company has requested that the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") extends the current deadline of 5.00 pm on 23 December 2024 by which time Esyasoft must, in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, either announce a firm intention to make an offer for the Company under Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies (the "PUSU Deadline").

In the light of this request, an extension has been granted by the Panel and, in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Esyasoft is required, by not later than 5.00 pm on 20 January 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This revised PUSU Deadline may be extended with the consent of the Panel, at Good Energy's request, in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

There can be no certainty that an offer will be made.
