("Eneraqua", the "Company" or the "Group")
Notice to appoint an Administrator over a subsidiary
As noted in the announcement of 7 July 2025, the Company's balance sheet and supply chain has been placed under significant strain due to significant delays in the receipt of payments due from several clients and the deferral of certain energy projects.
The Company has today been notified of a material adverse adjudication award against its operating subsidiary Cenergist Limited ("Cenergist") in the sum of approximately £1.2m including costs relating to a contractual dispute. The adjudication award requires payment within five days and although the Company believes there are grounds for a counterclaim. This cannot currently be pursued due to the cash constraints of the Group.
Consequently, the board of Cenergist has reported to the Company that it has insufficient funds to continue trading and has concluded that they are no longer able to continue trading as a going concern. Therefore, the Board is reporting that Cenergist is in the process of filing a notice of intention to appoint Interpath Advisory as administrators. In the interim, Interpath Advisory will manage an accelerated sale process to seek potential buyers of the business and assets of Cenergist.
Due to the ongoing financial uncertainty regarding the Group, its limited working capital and the circumstances noted above, the Company has requested that its shares are suspended from trading on AIM with immediate effect.
Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
