SDX Energy Expects Share Cancelation on AIM Effective February 03 SDX Energy plc announced details of the secondary market trading facility that will be in place following the cancellation of trading on AIM of its Ordinary shares ("Cancellation"), following approval by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 24 January 2025.

SDX Energy plc Proposes Cancellation of Admission of Ordinary Shares to Trading on AIM SDX Energy plc announced the proposed cancellation of admission of its ordinary shares to trading on AIM (the "Cancellation"), re-registration of the Company as a private limited company (the "Re-registration") and the adoption of new articles of association more suitable for a private limited company (the "New Articles"). On or around 13 December 2024, the Company will publish a circular setting out the background to and reasons for the proposed Cancellation, the Re-registration and associated adoption of the New Articles (the "Circular"). The Directors have conducted a careful review of the benefits and drawbacks to the Company and the Shareholders of retaining the Company's admission to trading on AIM and believe that the Cancellation is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has consulted certain Shareholders and has considered the following key factors amongst others: Costs and burden of maintaining a public listing; Strategic flexibility; Lack of liquidity; Market volatility; and Funding options. The Circular will also contain a notice convening a general meeting (the "General Meeting") at which Shareholders will be invited to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed Cancellation, the Re-registration and adoption of the New Articles. Shareholders should note that they are able to trade in the Ordinary Shares on AIM prior to the Cancellation. The Board is aware that the proposed Cancellation, should it be approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting, would make it more difficult to buy and sell Ordinary Shares in the Company following the Cancellation. Therefore, the Company intends to put into place a matched bargain trading facility to assist Shareholders to trade in the Ordinary Shares following Cancellation. Expected last day of dealings in Ordinary Shares on AIM: 8 January 2025. Expected time and date of Cancellation: 7.00 a.m. on 9 January 2025. Expected date of Re-registration: By 9 January 2025.
