Kibo Energy PLC ('Kibo' or the 'Company')
Kibo Subsidiary Announces an Update on Joint Venture
Agreement
Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the renewable
energy-focused development company, announces that further to its
previous announcement dated 2 January 2024, its subsidiary Mast
Energy Developments PLC ('MED'), a UK-based multi-asset owner,
developer and operator in the rapidly growing flexible market, has
announced a further update regarding its Joint Venture Agreement
('JVA') with Proventure Holdings (UK) Ltd, part of the Proventure
Group ('Proventure'). Proventure has still not made the first GBP1m
payment to the Project Special Purpose Vehicle ('SPV'), which MED
now understands was delayed due to a lack of coordination and
administrative difficulties on the side of Proventure over the
festive period. Proventure CEO, Mr. Kona, will travel to London
soon to work with the MED CEO and board to expedite the delivery of
the overdue payments, as well as to finalise the outstanding
administration to complete the JVA transaction.
MED is furthermore in discussions with respect to an alternative
source of short-term funding to ensure that any further delays
regarding the JVA will not unduly impact MED's operations.
Further details can be found in the full MED announcement, which
is available below and at med.energy :

Pieter Krügel, MED CEO, commented: "The past year has proven
exceptionally challenging for MED, not only from a macro-economic
perspective affecting most businesses globally, but also from a
transactional perspective. However, we are looking forward to the
new year to realise MED's plans and potential, and we sincerely
thank our shareholders and key stakeholders for their ongoing
patience and support."
