GLOBAL INTERCONNECTION GROUP LIMITED ("GLOBAL INTERCONNECTION GROUP", "GIG" or the "Company")

Global InterConnection Group announces the extension of the GIG Public Warrant exercise period

18 August 2023

THIS PRESS RELEASE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GLOBAL INTERCONNECTION GROUP PUBLIC WARRANT HOLDERS AND REQUIRES THEIR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. GIG PUBLIC WARRANT HOLDERS WHO DO NOT VALIDLY AND TIMEOUSLY EXERCISE THEIR GIG PUBLIC WARRANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS RELEASE, MAY FORFEIT SUBSTANTIAL VALUE. TO EXERCISE YOUR GIG PUBLIC WARRANTS, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION.

GIG Public Warrant Holders should read this press release in its entirety. In addition, GIG Public Warrant Holders should read the section "Risk Factors" of the press release published by GIG on 11 July 2023 (ab7cde6e-4b38-44ee-acd3- 00fc01795c74 (globenewswire.com)), which should be carefully considered by the GIG Public Warrant Holders.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this press release have the meanings ascribed to them in the shareholder circular published by the Company on 20 April 2023, as updated, in respect of its proposed business combination with Global InterConnection Group SA.

GIG has entered into early stage negotiations with several interconnector asset owners to explore the possibility of GIG acquiring those assets. If one or more of these early stage negotiations materialise into a transaction it would mark a key step in GIG's strategy to build a portfolio interconnectors, and GIG believes this would materially increase the value of GIG and thus the GIG Public Warrants.

Potentially value accretive negotiations include those in relation to Advanced Cables' recently signed MOU with a leading cable manufacturer (see press release 65e052c8-24ec-4eaf-a82e-9042e495386d (globenewswire.com)). The parties are progressing their discussions towards the finalisation of a joint venture, in line with the sequence and conditions set out in their MOU, for the construction of HVDC manufacturing facilities in the North East of England.

In order to give the GIG Public Warrant Holder the opportunity to benefit from ongoing negotiations in the following two months that may lead to a material improvement in value, GIG has decided to extend the period in which a GIG Public Warrant Holder may Exercise (as defined below) its GIG Public Warrants (the "Exercise Period"). This Exercise Period will now end on 13 October 2023 at 17:40 CEST. Please refer to the section "Timetable" of this press release for a revised timetable.

The below explanation and instructions for Exercise and Redemption (as defined below) have been copied from the press release published by GIG on 11 July 2023 (ab7cde6e-4b38-44ee-acd3-00fc01795c74 (globenewswire.com)) and updated to reflect the extended Exercise Period. For completeness, GIG notes that the instructions for Redemption as set out in the press release published by GIG on 28 July 2023 (40c950d4-b160-4605-9829-6c4dea122c89 (globenewswire.com)) should be followed; so, if a GIG Public Warrant Holder wants to have its GIG Public Warrants redeemed, it does need to take action. GIG will redeem any remaining outstanding GIG Public Warrants, i.e. the GIG Public Warrants that are not exercised for

Exercise of GIG Public Warrants by 13 October 2023

GIG Public Warrant Holders may exercise their GIG Public Warrants against payment in cash of £7.00 up to and including 13 October 2023 at 17:40 CEST, which time will constitute the "Expiration of Public Warrants" within the meaning of the New Warrant T&Cs (the "Exercise").

If a GIG Public Warrant Holder validly exercises its GIG Public Warrants in the Exercise, such GIG Public Warrant Holder will receive in exchange for each whole GIG Public Warrant validly exercised, one GIG Ordinary Share, at an estimated valuation of £11.655 per GIG Ordinary Share, as well as receiving 2056 GreenBonds at the par value of £5.00. As the 2056 GreenBonds have a par value of £100.00, and no fractions of 2056 GreenBonds will be allotted and issued, 2056 GreenBonds will only be allotted and issued for multiples of 20 GIG Public Warrants validly exercised by a GIG Public Warrant Holder (therefore one 2056 GreenBond will be allotted and issued for every 20 GIG Public Warrants validly exercised by a GIG Public Warrant Holder). For any GIG Public Warrant validly exercised by a GIG Public Warrant Holder in excess of a multiple of 20 but not reaching the subsequent multiple of 20, one GIG Ordinary Share will be allotted and issued, but no 2056 GreenBonds will be allotted and issued in respect of any such excess exercised GIG Public Warrants. GIG Public Warrant Holders may sell any such excess GIG Public Warrants or acquire additional GIG Public Warrants on Euronext Amsterdam until close of trading on 13 October 2023 to be able to exercise a multiple of 20 GIG Public Warrants.

For example, if a certain GIG Public Warrant Holder validly exercises a total of 110 GIG Public Warrants, such GIG Public Warrant Holder will receive 110 GIG Ordinary Shares and five 2056 GreenBonds (the number of 2056 GreenBonds based on 110, rounded downwards to the nearest multiple of 20, i.e. 100, and then allotted and issued in a 1:20 ratio).

The settlement of the Exercise by issuance of new GIG Ordinary Shares and 2056 GreenBonds is expected to take place on or around 26 October 2023.

GIG Public Warrant Holders should be aware that the relevant bank or broker may set an earlier deadline for communication by GIG Public Warrant Holders in order to permit the bank or broker to communicate the exercise of GIG Public Warrants to VLK.

GIG Public Warrant Holders should note that they will not be able to withdraw an Exercise of GIG Public Warrants once made.

Redemption of GIG Public Warrants and publication of Redemption Notice

GIG will redeem any remaining outstanding GIG Public Warrants, i.e. the GIG Public Warrants that are not exercised for cash under the Exercise, in accordance with section 6.1 of the New Warrant T&Cs (the "Redemption"). In connection therewith, the press release published by GIG on 11 July 2023 (ab7cde6e-4b38-44ee-acd3-00fc01795c74 (globenewswire.com)) constitutes a Redemption Notice within the meaning of section 6.3 of the New Warrant T&Cs.

In the Redemption, each redeemed GIG Public Warrant will be exchanged for 0.261 GIG Ordinary Share, with the cumulative number of GIG Ordinary Shares held by a certain GIG Public Warrant Holder to be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number of GIG Ordinary Shares (in accordance with the New Warrant T&Cs). Based on an estimated price of £11.655 per GIG Ordinary Share, GIG Public Warrant Holders will receive an estimated £3.04 in value per redeemed GIG Public Warrant (subject to rounding differences).

For example, if a total of 100 GIG Public Warrants held by a certain GIG Public Warrant Holder are so redeemed, such GIG Public Warrant Holder will receive 26 GIG Ordinary Shares (calculated as: 100 * 0.261, rounded downwards to the nearest whole number of GIG Ordinary Shares).

GIG Public Warrant Holders are hereby informed that the Redemption Date within the meaning of section 6.3 of the New Warrant T&Cs has been set at 13 October 2023 at 17:40 CEST. The record date for the Redemption will be 17 October 2023 17:40 CEST. Settlement of the Redemption by issuance of new GIG Ordinary Shares is expected to take place on or around 26 October 2023.

GIG Public Warrant Holders may also elect not to receive their entitlement to 0.261 of a GIG Ordinary Share in connection with the Redemption. In order to effectuate such an election, GIG Public Warrant Holders should make this known to VLK by email to [email protected] by 17:40 CEST on 13 October 2023. If a GIG Public Warrant Holder makes such an election, such GIG Public Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to receive any alternative consideration (in cash or otherwise).

GIG PUBLIC WARRANT HOLDERS WHO DO NOT VALIDLY AND TIMELY EXERCISE THEIR GIG WARRANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS RELEASE MAY FORFEIT SUBSTANTIAL VALUE.

TO EXERCISE YOUR GIG PUBLIC WARRANTS, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION.

The Company will issue new GIG Ordinary Shares in connection with the Exercise and the Redemption. Such GIG Ordinary Shares issued in exchange for GIG Public Warrants will be listed on Euronext Amsterdam. The admission of such GIG Ordinary Shares is expected to take place on 26 October 2023.

About Global InterConnection Group

Global InterConnection Group ("GIG"), comprising Global InterConnection Group Limited and its subsidiaries, is a platform for the manufacturing, development, operation, and ownership of interconnectors and other power transmission assets, with three interlocking divisions: (i) a portfolio of interconnector operating assets and projects; (ii) High Voltage Direct Current ("HVDC") cable manufacturing to supply grid upgrades and our interconnector projects, and (iii) ancillary services, such as commissioning and overseeing the design, planning and operational management for grids and interconnectors. Interconnectors are power cables connecting different countries' electricity grids, as a means of improving energy security by expediting the transmission of energy internationally from where it is generated to where it is needed.

As the world transitions to a NetZero future, and with recent stark reminders of the importance of energy security, interconnectors are recognised as a central component to countries' energy strategies as interconnected grids are more efficient and able to respond to market stress. As the world transitions towards a NetZero future, growing electricity demand and increased dependence on intermittent power sources requires grids that are strong, flexible, and interconnected.

The nucleus of this platform is the Global InterConnection Group board which comprises: Edmund Truell (Executive Chairman) and non-executive directors Jennie Younger, Luke Webster, Richard Pinnock and Roger Le Tissier; and special advisers: Chris Sturgeon and Kari Stadigh. They oversee Global InterConnection Group's Advanced Cables and Global InterConnectors divisional boards and management, supported by a design, planning and operations division, Global InterConnection Group Services together with expert advisers and partners such as RTE International (the arm of Europe's largest grid operator), Afry, Aecom, and Red Penguin.

Global InterConnectors is buying and building up a portfolio of European interconnectors. Its first project is Atlantic SuperConnection, which is developing a 1,708 km interconnector project, where the technical feasibility work has now been done to build a 1,800 MW interconnector between Iceland and the UK; and a valuable connection agreement secured near Hull, England.

Advanced Cables is developing a 1,600 km/year capacity HVDC cable manufacturing facility in the North-East of England in two phases, with strong support from the UK government. Global InterConnection Group has signed a memorandum of understanding for a joint venture with an existing cable manufacturer, which paves the way for Advanced Cables to address the shortage of HVDC subsea cable, where demand far outstrips supply and order books are full for several years to come. The joint venture partner would bring to bear their world-class technology and experience.
