Response to press speculation

Esken Limited, the aviation and energy infrastructure group, notes the recent press speculation regarding Esken Renewables.

The Group confirms that in accordance with the previously announced strategic review of its operating businesses, it is in advanced discussions with Pioneer Point Partners regarding a possible disposal of the entire issued share capital of Esken Renewables.

Should the Group complete the disposal of Esken Renewables, the net proceeds would be used to: repay the committed funding drawn under the Group's facilities agreement with the specialty lender and associated costs; further contribute to the Group's defined benefit pension scheme; and  provide additional working capital in the short term.

Discussions are ongoing and there can be no certainty that any transaction will be agreed or, if so, on what terms.

A further announcement will be made shortly.

This announcement contains inside information. The person responsible for arranging this announcement on behalf of Esken is Adam Davidson, General Counsel and Company Secretary.
