This can be achieved by long-lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing and recycling. \u00a0Further information is available at\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"az\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alchemyutilities.ie\/\">www.alchemyutilities.ie<\/a><\/span><span class=\"be\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">In its\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"be\">pursuit of a circular economy, Alchemy aims to innovate, deliver and operate full service projects, creating community based and private renewable projects utilising its own decentralised sustainable utility technologies.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"be\">\u00a0Alchemy has established a collaboration agreement with Harper Adam&#8217;s University. As a strategic development partners, HAU and their research partners including UCD, will provide additional resources and independent technical validation to the fully commercialised processes. (HAU are ranked as the UK&#8217;s no1 agricultural and food technology University, and No1 in terms of their research and development facilities with industrial partners.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">Benefitting from an experienced management team,\u00a0Alchemy has not only already successfully secured the ownership of strategic IP and patents but is in advanced stages of appointing a worldwide distribution network extending through Europe into Asia to enable the delivery of its innovative products.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"be\">&#8220;<\/span><span class=\"be\">To produce organic fertilizer, clean water, CO2, bio methane heat and power through integrated product offerings from agricultural and food derived waste is a compelling solution for every country, and Ireland should benefit significantly from the export of these technologies. To aid delivery of this objective, Alchemy is in discussions with potential partners in Asia, and throughout Europe to enable\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"be\">supply to local economies with locally based operations.<\/span><span class=\"ay\">&#8221; said CEO Richard Griffin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">Stranger Chairman, James Longley, said, &#8220;Alchemy fits with our investment criteria of being in the renewable power generation arena, is cash generative and would benefit from a listing on the London Stock Exchange.\u00a0 We are now conducting extensive due diligence, which we hope will lead to a fast and seamless acquisition that would be mutually beneficial for both parties.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">The Acquisition is subject, inter alia, to the completion of due diligence, documentation and compliance with all regulatory requirements, including the Listing and Prospectus Rules and, as required, the Takeover Code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">The Acquisition, if it proceeds, will constitute a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules since, inter alia, in substance it will result in a fundamental change in the business of the issuer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">As the Acquisition will constitute a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules, the listing in the Company&#8217;s ordinary shares have been suspended at the request of the Company pending the publication of a prospectus and the application for the enlarged Company to have its Ordinary Shares admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">The Company is working on the preparation of a prospectus in relation to the Acquisition and will, in due course, be making application for the enlarged Company to have its Ordinary Shares admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bk\"><span class=\"be\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"bj\"><span class=\"bb\">* * ENDS *
