New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£361k revenue, or US$487k). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.9% average weekly change). New Risk • Jul 23

UK Environmental Agency Allows AFC to Sell Hydrogen Produced by Cracker AFC Energy announced the agreement by the UK Environment Agency to revise AFC Energy's Research and Development permit for the export and sale of low carbon hydrogen produced from the Company's pilot ammonia cracking plant to hydrogen off-takers. This accelerates revenue generation by AFC Energy from low carbon hydrogen production by a number of months. This revision, agreed by the Environment Agency, evidences the significant progress AFC Energy has made in producing ISO 14687 grade D (99.97% pure hydrogen) in volume and the robustness of internal safety protocols and procedures. It also provides further flexibility in the timing of the relocation of the Dunsfold pilot cracking plant as the training of operatives in a live environment can now be conducted at Dunsfold. AFC Energy continues to work with its Joint Venture ("JV") partner, Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd. (ICL), to establish hydrogen production, through multiple Hy-5 ammonia cracker units from AFC Energy (each capable of producing up to 500kg of hydrogen per day), at ICL's facility in Port Clarence, Middlesborough. The JV is engaged with the UK Environment Agency at both local and central levels to create a framework for future deployments, across the UK, of AFC Energy's future Hy-5 units through accelerated permitting. The pilot ammonia cracker site at Dunsfold is capable of producing up to 300kg of hydrogen per day in its current configuration. New Risk • Feb 01

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 33% This is considered a major 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.

AFC Energy plc Announces the Launch of Hy-5 Through Its Hyamtec Brand AFC Energy announced the launch of "Hy-5" through its Hyamtec brand, the world's first containerised, portable, cracking module capable of producing up to 500kg/day for delivery from 2026. Hy-5 will be offered as a "plug and play" under a "fuel as a service" (FaaS), with the headline cost of hydrogen, on-site, charged at PS10/kg. This is substantially below prevailing market rates including those attracting government subsidies. Hy-5 will provide hydrogen purity >99.9% to ISO14687 grade D with <0.1% ppm of ammonia in the feed stream, making this compatible with AFC Energy S and S+ series hydrogen fuel cell generators, with a power consumption <9.5kWh/kg. This provides market opportunities across multiple verticals: H2 fuel for off-grid power (e.g. fuel cell generators); H2 refuelling stations for fuel cell/H2 combustion engine buses, trucks, vans; H2 refuelling for construction equipment (e.g. excavators and mining trucks); Off-grid EV charging (with a fuel cell generator); Industrial burners (for heat used in industrial applications); Industrial manufacturing facilities (e.g. refining, steel, cement, ceramics, glass, chemicals production, e-fuels production); and H2 supply for hydrogen fuel logistics companies. Ammonia is currently used and transported at scale around the world, providing Hy-5 with global opportunities. Hy-5 (together with ammonia supply vessels) provides a highly compact, self-contained footprint for hydrogen generation. It does not require a grid supply or renewable energy power source (e.g. a wind farm/solar farm) as is required for supply of energy to electrolysers which, if built from scratch, would likely require land, planning consent, grid connection, additional environmental permits, potentially requiring material capex and relatively lengthy timescales (e.g. lead-time on consents and permitting, equipment supply, construction and commissioning, dependent on the scope of the project).

AFC Energy Announces Ammonia Cracker Integration Improves Engine Combustion Performance AFC Energy announced that presenting the opening keynote speech at MariNH3's 2024 Conference. The presentation will highlight the positive results achieved to date through adoption of AFC Energy's novel ammonia cracker technology to improve the combustion and emissions of future ammonia fuelled maritime engines. Highlights: AFC Energy has successfully operated its ammonia cracker reactor technology alongside a MAHLE Powertrain combustion test engine fuelled principally by ammonia. The ammonia cracker provided a pilot fuel, operating in a ratio of 80:20 (ammonia: cracked gas) that delivered improved operating performance when compared to ammonia combustion alone. The Cracker was able to generate hydrogen on-demand and co-blend with additional ammonia to make a resulting flammable fuel gas stream that was fed into the engine injection system. The compact fast-start Cracker dynamically supported the fuelling needs of the test engine and achieved stable performance on the first trials. Enhanced burn characteristics from the cracked gas blend (75% Hydrogen:25% Nitrogen) are designed to improve engine performance evidenced by stable operation and increased efficiency (reduced fuel consumption) with reduced (zero carbon) pollutant emissions. Success in cracker integration with ammonia engines means maritime propulsion can be achieved with a single ammonia fuel without the need for dual (fossil) fuels as is currently the case in several ammonia combustion engine developments. The "Enhanced Ammonia Cracking to Improve Engine Combustion and Emissions" ("ENTICE") project is led by AFC Energy with partners including MAHLE Powertrain, Nottingham University and Clean Air Power (funded by InnovateUK). In addition to maritime applications, AFC Energy is also assessing applications with partners for ammonia combustion engine and cracker integration across land based hydrogen production and in the fuelling of large off-road machinery such as that used in the mining industry. The ENTICE project is scheduled to continue until March 2025 enabling further system integration with larger multiple cylinder engines for testing across a range of operational parameters.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 10% 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£227k revenue, or US$289k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (UK£19m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (10% increase in shares outstanding).

AFC Energy plc Announces the Latest Milestone in the Accelerated Development of Its Modular, Scalable Ammonia Cracker Technology AFC Energy plc announced the latest milestone in the accelerated development of its modular, scalable ammonia cracker technology. Highlights: AFC Energy's next generation ammonia cracker technology successfully achieves 99.99% hydrogen from single reactor testing; Results independently tested by the UK's National Physical Laboratory ("NPL"); Testing confirmed ammonia levels in hydrogen stream were materially less than the limits required to meetISO 14687:2019 standards for vehicular and stationary fuel cells; Results highlight the ability of AFC Energy's new ammonia cracking technology to deliver fuel cell grade hydrogen on a modular, scalable basis; Ammonia cracker technology complimentary to AFC Energy's growing H-Power fuel cell generator offering. AFC Energy's ammonia cracker enables ammonia, a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen (NH3), to be "cracked" into discreet hydrogen and nitrogen molecules. The hydrogen can then be consumed as a fuel in fuel cells or combustion with the nitrogen emitted to atmosphere (which comprises c. 78% nitrogen) with zero carbon emissions. However, the presence in the hydrogen of uncracked trace ammonia has the potential to damage fuel cells. In 2019, the International Organisation for Standardisation ("ISO") publishedISO 14687:2019 which governs the international standard forminimum quality characteristics of hydrogen as a fuel for utilisation in vehicular and stationary fuel cell applications and which stipulated the maximum level of residual ammonia permitted. It is therefore an important achievement that AFC Energy's ammonia cracker reactor has been able to meet the ISO standard for residual ammonia ("parts per billion" or "PPB") in hydrogen fuel. Ammonia is forecast to play a growing role in delivering on decarbonisation targets for industry and maritime due to its high energy density (relative to hydrogen gas) and potential to displace conventional fossil fuels and carbon emissions. Ammonia is also seen as an enabler to the international trade of hydrogen where hydrogen is transported by ship in the form of ammonia, and cracked back into hydrogen at its target import destination. Test Details: The UK's NPL was engaged to independently analyse the composition of hydrogen gas derived from AFC Energy's new ammonia cracking reactor and downstream purification technology. NPL's analysis was conducted on the basis of individual ammonia cracker reactors. NPL's analysis confirmed the hydrogen derived from AFC Energy's cracker and purifier successfully achieved the ammonia PPB standard for fuel cell grade hydrogen, a key milestone in demonstrating the technology's potential to support the growing "ammonia to power" market in stationary and maritime applications.
