LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
1. Introduction
I am writing to invite you to the General Meeting of the Company to be held at the offices of AlbR Capital Limited's office at 3rd Floor, 80 Cheapside,
2. Background
Following a strategic review of the Company's treasury management framework, undertaken with the objective of optimising capital efficiency, diversification, and long-term value preservation, the Board is proposing the adoption of a formal Ethereum Treasury Policy.
In addition, the Company is undertaking a Fundraising to strengthen the Company's balance sheet, provide working capital, and facilitate the implementation of the Company's strategic objectives, including the development and management of its investment portfolio.
As part of this review, the Board agreed to the following:
· One new director will be appointed to the Board, with Simon Grant-Rennick resigning following the approval of the Resolutions. David Levis will remain as Chief Executive Officer and Stephen Winfield as Non-Executive Director. The New Director will assume responsibility for defining the Company's treasury management strategy.
· The Fundraising will be satisfied through the issuance of new ordinary shares and attaching warrants, in accordance with the terms described in this Circular.
· A Consultant and Advisory Board will be established. A pool of free warrants, equivalent to 5% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time will be awarded to the members of the Consultant and Advisory Board and other key stakeholders of the Company. All such warrants being exercisable at the Issue Price and issued for a two-year period from the date of Admission, but subject to a one-year lock in and are only exercisable in the second year.
· Michael Murphy (unrelated to Oliver Murphy) will be issued 89,449,401 Ordinary Shares which equates to 3% of the Company's issued share capital following the issue of the Fundraising Shares, as compensation for the introduction of key individuals in relation to the Fundraising ("Introductory Fee Shares").
· Peterhouse Capital shall receive 12,500,000 warrants which are valid for two years from the date of Admission, have an exercise price of the Issue Price and are only exercisable after 12 months from Admission.
Following completion of the Fundraise and reconstitution of the Board (the "New Board"), the New Board intends to adopt a formal Ethereum Treasury Policy. Shareholders are advised to review the risk factors set out on page 11 of the Circular.
This policy will allow the Company, at its discretion, to allocate funds from the Fundraising and any future fundraises into Ethereum, a leading decentralised digital asset. The objective of this policy is to preserve long-term value, enhance capital efficiency, and align the Company's treasury management with evolving market opportunities.
In parallel with the adoption of the proposed Ethereum Treasury Policy, the Company continues to focus on the development and operation of its commercial activities in the battery energy storage systems (BESS) and electric vehicle (EV) charging sectors. The Board views the Ethereum Treasury Policy as a complementary treasury management initiative, supporting and strengthening the Company's wider operational and commercial strategy in EV charging and energy storage.
The Company is seeking inter alia Shareholders' approval at the forthcoming General Meeting for the grant of authorities to allot Ordinary Shares up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £10,000,000, being 50,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares. The authorities are being sought to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue new shares as part of its ongoing efforts to procure substantial funding for its business operations and proposed Ethereum Treasury Policy.
In addition, the Company is seeking change its name to EthTry Plc and to adopt the new ticker "ETHY".
