About Path Investments plc

The strategy of the Company is focused on delivering a material acquisition in the energy sector with the objective of providing the Company's shareholders with access to a low risk and, over time, diversified portfolio which can offer a dividend stream as well as offering development potential for capital growth.

Chairman's Report

In March 2021 the Company was delighted to receive the welcome support of new shareholders and certain existing holders in a fund raising with gross proceeds of GBP3.87 million received to accelerate the Company's investment strategy. We said at the time that we were focussed on one opportunity and anticipated updating shareholders in due course.

Post the accounting period on 13th August 2021 we announced our conditional agreement to acquire DG Innovate Limited for GBP32 million to be satisfied by the issue of 5,342,051,305 Path Ordinary Shares of GBP0.001 each ("Path Shares") at an issue price of 0.6 pence per Path Share, which compares favourably with the suspension price of 0.27 per Path share.

Further details of the transaction are contained on our website https://www.pathinvestmentsplc.com/proposed-acquisition-of-dg-innovate/

As part of the acquisition of DGI, and post the accounting period, Path provided from its cash resources a secured loan facility to DGI of GBP600,000. The facility was made available in two tranches, both of which have now been released to DGI.

Work is progressing towards completion of the proposed transaction which constitutes a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules, as it will result in a fundamental change in the business of the Company. We are making good progress on finalising the necessary prospectus and shareholder documentation and we expect to be submitting it shortly for FCA approval.

The transaction is also subject to waiver of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code by the Takeover Panel and therefore the approval of Path's independent shareholders at a General Meeting which will be convened for the purpose.

We look forward to updating shareholders further as we move towards completion of our transaction.

   4.         LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share is based on the loss on ordinary activities after taxation of and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue.

There was no dilutive effect from the share options or convertible loan notes outstanding during the period.

In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares according to IAS33. Dilutive potential ordinary shares include convertible loan notes and share options granted to Directors and consultants where the exercise price (adjusted according to IAS 33) is less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period.
