Proton Motor Power Systems plc

("Proton Motor" or the "Company")

Follow-up order from DB Bahnbau Gruppe

Proton Motor Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), the designer, developer and producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems with a zero-carbon footprint, is pleased to announce a further follow-up order, for a complete hydrogen fuel cell emergency power system, from DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH (the "Customer"), a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, Germany's leading full-service provider for rail infrastructure.

This follow-up order of the Company's HyCabinet S48 fuel cell emergency power system has a rated power output of 48 kVA and represents the 26th system ordered by the Customer since the signing of the cooperation agreement between Proton Motor and DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH in 2015 and the third order under the Customer's brand name EnerRail.

As noted in the Company's announcement on 22 August 2024 as well as 23 September 2024, Proton Motor is in discussions with other potential sources of finance in order to allow the Company to continue to operate beyond 31 December 2024. While funding discussions continue to remain relatively early-stage in nature, it is anticipated that subject to the satisfactory conclusion of such discussions, the order for the Customer would be able to proceed for delivery in 2025. There is no certainty that any such funding discussions will conclude nor as to the timings or terms of such funding.
