New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 23% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

Quadrise plc Provides Valkor Project Update Quadrise Plc provided an update on its project with Valkor Technologies LLC (Valkor) in Utah, USA, which targets the supply of low sulphur MSAR®? and bioMSAR™? to the marine and power sectors from heavy sweet oil (HSO). The State of Utah's Board of Oil, Gas and Mining met on July 31, 2024 and approved Valkor's plan to commercialise HSO recovered from sands within the designated Asphalt Ridge area. The plan details unit operations for enhanced oil recovery and the establishment of an Enhanced Recovery Unit (the Unit Plan) on behalf of project sponsors Heavy Sweet Oil LLC and AC Oil LLC (the Sponsors). The Unit Plan also allows for reduced spacing between wells, so as to optimise HSO recovery and project profitability. The Sponsors submitted evidence from the drilling of the first two pilot wells for a sizeable and common pooled supply of HSO. Commercialization requires the use of the latest enhanced oil recovery techniques for low-carbon extraction and processing. Production of the HSO by Valkor will commence from the pilot wells using electrical heating initially to maintain oil flow, as the HSO is extremely viscous otherwise at reservoir conditions. After 1-2 years the electrical heating will be replaced with steam and CO2 flooding. This will provide stable long-term production for 20+ years per well. HSO samples have been prepared by Valkor and are being sent to Quadrise for MSAR® and bioMSAR™ formulation and pilot testing in third quarter 2024. Commercial marketing to the marine, utilities and industrial sectors is expected to commence once successful testing is completed by Quadrise. The initial marketing targets will be local power producers and marine vessels bunkering on the US West Coast. Annuncio • Jul 10

Quadrise Plc provides Update on re bioMSAR™ and bioMSAR™ Zero Development Quadrise Plc confirmed the finalisation of results from bioMSAR™ fuel testing completed in November 2023 (the "bioMSAR™ Tests"), further to the Company's announcement of 27 November 2023. The ultimate objective of the Company's bioMSAR™ programme is to supply the marine and industrial fuel sectors with sustainable biofuels that are lower in cost, more efficient, safer yet simple to use, and which generate the fewest harmful emissions. The bioMSAR™ Tests were conducted using the Company's 40kW Cummins diesel engine installed at Aquafuel Research Limited ("Aquafuel"). Quadriseand biorefinery specialists, Vertoro BV ("Vertoro"), have been collaborating to develop a cost-effective supplement or alternative to glycerine in bioMSAR™ fuel under the Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") announced by Quadrise on 21 September 2022. ThebioMSAR™ Testsconcluded in November were completed on blends ofbioMSAR™ containing up to 40% of Vertoro's CSO™ as a replacement for renewable glycerine. When compared with conventional diesel fuel, the CSO™ bioMSAR™demonstrated: Reductions of up to 25% in carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions before engine efficiency savings are considered. Additional engine efficiency improvements of 6-7% resulting in reduced fuel use, taking total CO2 reductions to over 30%, in line with previous bioMSAR™ testing results. Reductions in NOx of around 30%, comparable with 20-45% seen during previous testing with bioMSAR™ on the same engine. Furthermore, a reduction in CO emissions of over 50% was measured, with negligible visible smoke. Based on these results, testing of the 40% CSO™ bioMSAR™ and 40% glycerine-based bioMSAR™ on a larger medium-speed Wartsila engine at VTT is scheduled in H1 2024. This additional testing will be performed in parallel with testing of CSO™ in bioMSAR™ at levels above 40% at the Quadrise Research Facility ("QRF") and at Aquafuel. In addition to the CSO™ development programme described above, work is progressing under the JDA withBTG Bioliquids BV ("BTL") on pyrolysis sugars derived from biomass, and with other prospective partners who can supply C5/C6 sugars at commercial scale. Large scale adoption is a key customer requirement for marine and industrial applications and the ability to use water-soluble biomass sugars within the Company's unique oil-in-water emulsion fuels opens up access to abundant bio-energy waste resources. Such waste material cannot otherwise be easily diverted into higher-value applications that use oil-based biofuels or oil-based emulsions. bioMSAR™ with methyl esters: For the first time, Quadrise have tested blends of bioMSAR™ incorporating B30, a marine biofuel of 30% methyl esters blended with fuel oil, providing a new potential pathway to bioMSAR™ Zero. B30 methyl esters are currently the most widely available marine biofuels. Engine tests were carried out at Aquafuel to assess engine efficiency and emissions improvements. In this first phase of testing, bioMSAR™ blends were made with up to 70% B30 and up to 40% glycerine respectively. When compared to diesel, these blends demonstrated: Up to 40% well-to-wake CO2 reductions based on the carbon intensity of the components, before accounting for diesel engine efficiency savings. Enhanced diesel engine efficiency of 3-7% with a corresponding reduction in fuel costs, further reducing overall CO2 emissions by up to 45%. Reductions in NOx emissions of 43%-59% andCO savings of 58-76% with negligible visible smoke. The successful results described above provide a pathway to further reduce the fossil fuel content of its emulsion blends using methyl esters. The next phase of testing will incorporate higher concentrations of waste-based methyl esters, and ultimately B100 combined with glycerine or biomass-derived sugars. The plan is to demonstrate a commercial bioMSAR™ Zero product well ahead of the Company's 2030 target. The biofuel samples are being supplied by a major trading company. Annuncio • Nov 22
Quadrise Plc Announces Successful Completion of Industrial Demonstration Test Quadrise Plc provided an update on its fuel trial in Morocco following the announcement made by the Company on 31 October 2023. Quadrise announced that the industrial demonstration test of MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuels at the client's site in Morocco (the "Trial") has been successfully completed in accordance with the performance criteria of the agreement announced by the Company on 13 June 2022. The client's industrial unit was processing product at commercial scale throughout the Trial, with the Company's fuels used to provide the required thermal energy for drying. The objective was to make a direct comparison with normal operations running on heavy fuel oil. The industrial unit in question was successfully operated at varying loads of up to 100%, equivalent to 33MW of energy that is supplied by a single burner. This is similar to the energy consumption of a medium-sized container ship. The final phase of combustion optimisation tests recently completed involved experts from Quadrise and the client fine-tuning combustion at full (100%) load and production rates using Quadrise fuels. Emissions from MSAR® and bioMSAR™ combustion were very low, and well within environmental limits for the site. This was the first demonstration of bioMSAR™ in an industrial application. Quadrise is now preparing a technical report to submit to the client within the next month. The parties will now enter into discussions for long-term commercial supply, in conjunction with reaching agreement for testing at the client's other sites to expand supply opportunities for MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuels. In parallel, the Company will continue work to ensure the supply of appropriately located and priced residual feedstock. Further announcements will be made, as appropriate, in due course.

Quadrise plc Provides an Update on Project with Valkor Technologies LLC in Utah, USA Further to the announcement on 24 August 2023, Quadrise Plc provided an update on its project with Valkor Technologies LLC in Utah, USA. As announced on 12 June 2023, Quadrise and Valkor signed aSite Licence Agreement, conditional on receipt by Valkor of drilling and underground injection permits for the Primary Project Site from the Utah Board of Oil, Gas and Mining and upon the receipt by Valkor of project financing in an amount of at least USD 15 million. Valkor's pilot development programme was approved by the Board in December 2022 on standard 40 acre spacing, and Valkor has been conducting field surveys and other tasks required for the completion of permit applications. The drilling permit is expected by Valkor to be issued by Utah's Department of Oil, Gas & Mining in early September 2023, with drilling scheduled by Valkor in October 2023. Upon issue of the drilling permit, Valkor can file Underground Injection Control permit applications for the injection of steam to stimulate the drilled wells. DOGM has estimated UIC approvals will take approximately 8 weeks in accordance with the schedule for Valkor's planned October drilling. Under the current Board approvals and following the issue of the drilling permit, Valkor is able to drill up to 12 wells under the pilot development plan. Separately, Valkor is seeking 2.5 acre down-spacing of the wells (compared with the standard of 40 acres) to allow drilling of 111 wells within the same area. Based upon advice received, Valkor sought a hearing for a unitisation plan, treating the pilot area as a single unit with revised spacing as desired by Valkor. At the recent hearing on 23 August 2023, the Board did not grant the Unitisation but instead requested that Valkor drill at least one pilot well and update the plan using the data from that well before seeking approval again. Unitisation by First Quarter 2024 will be targeted, to stay on schedule for the full development plan of 111 wells. Valkor has advised Quadrise that the Board ruling of 23 August 2023does not impact the PPS development planand has confirmed that Valkor'sfinancing is not dependent upon UIC or Unitisation approvals. With the drilling permit condition now in hand,Valkor and Quadrise have agreed under an addendum dated 25 August 2023, that the SLA is now only conditional upon the receipt by Valkor of project financing in an amount of at least USD 15 million. Valkor is continuing to work with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC and AC Oil LLC to secure the required project financing to establish the Asphalt Ridge Enhanced Recovery Unit for the in-situ production of heavy oil, and to licence Quadrise's technology for the agreed sum of USD 1.5 million (comprising USD 1 million upon satisfaction of the financing condition and USD 0.5 million on the date on which a Quadrise MSAR® Manufacturing Unit and associated equipment are delivered to the Primary Production Site). A further update will be provided upon conclusion of Valkor's project financing and subsequent award by Quadrise of the conditional site license to Valkor. New Risk • Jul 26
