Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are very pleased with the strong performance of our share price. This has enabled the successful completion of financings in both the UK and Norway at only a modest discount to market.

Zenith is now fully funded until the expected publication of the outcome of the ICC-2 Arbitration, with the funding being strategically directed towards the Company's objective of building a 20 MWp solar energy portfolio by the end of 2025.

Our continued focus on acquiring revenue-generating energy production assets is expected to progressively diminish our reliance on equity financing, as well strengthening our balance sheet and enhancing long-term shareholder value."
