"We are delighted with the result of the General Meeting and most grateful for
the support we have received from shareholders in relation to the acquisition
of Waste2Tricity. This is a transformational time for Powerhouse as we look
forward to the construction of the first commercial DMG plant and the enactment
of a UK exclusivity agreement with Peel.
"This will open the door to the pipeline of projects arising in the UK and then
release overseas markets. The Company's technology will make a positive
difference regenerating waste plastic into energy as a foundation of the
hydrogen economy."
Following the General Meeting, Mr Tim Yeo, Chairman of Waste2Tricity, said:
"The resounding vote by Powerhouse Energy shareholders at today's EGM in favour
of the acquisition of Waste2tricity is a strong vote of confidence in the
future success of the enlarged group."
Further to the General Meeting, the Company is issuing 1,437,440,277 Ordinary
Shares to the Sellers of Waste2Tricity. Application has been made for the
admission of 1,437,440,277 Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and
it is expected that Admission will occur on or around 15 July 2020. These
shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued
Ordinary Shares.
Subsequent to the issue of Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 3,515,100,693
Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights. Powerhouse has no shares in
Treasury, therefore this figure may be used by shareholders, from Admission, as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the
share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

About Powerhouse Energy Group plc
Powerhouse has developed a proprietary process technology - DMG® - which can
utilise waste, unrecycleable plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and other waste
streams to efficiently and economically convert them into syngas from which
valuable products such as hydrogen, chemical precursors, electricity and other
industrial products may be derived. The Powerhouse technology is one of the
world's first proven, modular, hydrogen from waste (HfW) process.
The Powerhouse DMG® process can generate up to 2 tonnes of road-fuel quality
H2, and more than 58MWh of exportable electricity per day.
The Powerhouse process produces low levels of safe residues and requires a
small operating footprint, making it suitable for deployment at enterprise and
community level.
Powerhouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market under the
ticker: PHE, and is incorporated in the United Kingdom.
