The subscription rights under the Warrants must be exercised within four years of the issue of the Warrants (being the date of Admission).

GROUP STRUCTURE

Corporate Governance

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC complies with the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code provisions for small and mid-size quoted companies (“QCA Code”) to the extent that the Board considers appropriate having regard to the Company’s size, board structure, stage of development and resources.

The Company departs from the provisions of the QCA Code in respect of the number of independent directors. The QCA Code says that “Generally, shareholder expectation is that at least half of directors of a board will be independent Non-Executive Directors”. The Board of the Company consists of four executive and two non-executive directors. The non-executive directors take no part in the day-to-day management of the Company’s affairs, have no performance related pay (although they have some share options reflecting their contributions to the IPO process but which are not believed to be sufficiently material to affect their independence) and provide no services to the Company save for those expected of their non-executive roles.
