("Advance Energy" or the "Company")

Confirmation of Director Fundraise Participation to raise £80,000

Further to the announcement made earlier this morning, concerning the Placing and Intended Director Participation, the Company can confirm that certain directors of Advance ("Directors") have subscribed for 94,117,646 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price and 94,117,646 Warrants as set out below (the "Director Participation").

Defined terms are as set out in this morning's announcement unless otherwise defined.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 94,117,646 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").  It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in respect of the Director Participation Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 29 July 2022.  Following Admission, there will be 1,527,613,961 Ordinary Shares in issue.

The following Directors have subscribed for Director Participation Shares pursuant to the Director Participation for an investment, in aggregate, of approximately £80,000.  Their subscription for new Ordinary Shares and Warrants is on the same terms and conditions as the Placing.

Director	No of new Ordinary Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Director Participation	Resulting holding of Ordinary Shares	Resulting % of Ordinary Share Capital following the Placing and Director Participation	No. of Warrants subscribed for pursuant to the Director Participation
Mark Rollins	47,058,823	76,461,976	5.01%	47,058,823
Larry Bottomley	47,058,823	47,058,824	3.08%	47,058,823

The Director Participation by certain directors of Advance, as set out above, constitutes a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13.  The directors deemed to be independent of the Director Participation, being Ross Warner and Stephen Whyte, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider the terms of the Director Participation to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

The Director Participation Shares have been subscribed for directly with the Company (as to 47,058,823 Ordinary Shares) or through the Placing (as to 47,058,823 Ordinary Shares), subject only to Admission. On Admission, the Company will have 1,527,613,961 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company holds no shares in treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 1,527,613,961 can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
