Hydrogen Future Industries plc

("HFI" or the "Company")

Issue of Equity and Warrants

Hydrogen Future Industries plc (AQSE: HFI), a developer of a proprietary wind-based green hydrogen production system featuring an advanced aerodynamic wind turbine and a high-performance electrolyser, announces the issue of 1,750,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 10 pence per new ordinary share ("Deferred Consideration Shares") and warrants over 875,000 new ordinary shares with an exercise price of 12 pence per new ordinary share (which can be exercised immediately and will expire three years from the date of issue) as the second tranche of consideration payable to the vendors of various patents acquired by the Company as announced on 5 October 2022.

The Deferred Consideration Shares are subject to a 12-month lock-in agreement from the date of issue.

Daniel Maling, Executive Director of HFI, commented:

"We at HFI are pleased to have completed the deferred component of the IP acquisition at an effective share price of 10 pence. The suite of international patents are derived from over 12 years of valuable research by Tim Blake including the key aspects of our novel green hydrogen production system.

"The wind turbine component, which had previously demonstrated increased energy generation of over 300% in wind tunnel testing, is now delivering similar performance data in Montana where we have installed a 1 metre prototype.

"Tim and the team have been busy adjusting our wind turbine hardware in varying weather conditions in Montana; whilst Dr Nicholas Blake is advancing our development of the Anion Exchange Water Membrane electrolyser, which is free from costly platinum group metal catalysts, in California. With both the turbine and electrolyser testing proving positive, and our IP secured, we are focusing on accelerating our partnering discussions and commercialisation pathways."

Admission

Application has been made for the 1,750,000 Deferred Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur on or around 11 October 2023.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 49,500,000 ordinary shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 49,500,000. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in the Company, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
