Clean Power Hydrogen plc

("CPH2", the "Company" or the "Group")

Update on Licence Agreement with GHFG Limited

CPH2, the UK-based green hydrogen technology and manufacturing company that has developed the IP-protected Membrane-Free Electrolyser ("MFE"), announces an update regarding the Licence Agreement with GHFG Limited ("GHFG"), the terms of which were announced on 19 July 2022 (the "Licence Agreement"). GHFG is a joint venture between international renewable independent power producer, Alternus Energy Group Plc ("Alternus"), and Eric Whelan, CEO of Irish based developer, Soleirtricity.

GHFG has undertaken actions which, based on legal advice received by CPH2, the Board believes constitutes a repudiatory breach of the Licence Agreement on the part of GHFG.  In response to GHFG's actions, the Directors consider it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to accept the repudiatory breach by GHFG, thereby terminating the Licence Agreement with immediate effect.

The Company has notified GHFG that its repudiatory breach has been accepted and that CPH2 intends to claim damages from GHFG and retain all sums paid by it to CPH2 pursuant to the Licence Agreement to date.

Jon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of CPH2, commented:

"We are disappointed by the recent actions of GHFG. We pride ourselves on having an open dialogue with our partners and have enjoyed a very constructive relationship with them up until this point.

We continue to focus on the commercial delivery of the MFE220 1MW electrolyser and are currently undergoing testing of the MFE110. Following successful commercialisation, we expect to see increasing customer demand for our MFE technology."
