Scirocco Energy Plc announced the appointment of Niall Roberts as a Non-Executive Director. Mr. Roberts joins Scirocco's Board of Directors as a candidate recommended by GP Jersey, the Company's largest shareholder with a holding of 8.82%. Mr. Roberts is presently CEO of Fluechem Ltd,a global leader in the environmental transformation of the shipping industry.

Mr. Roberts has worked with a number of fertilizer manufacturers since 2012 and as a result brings relevant expertise within the European fertilizer market that will support the delivery of Scirocco's strategic expansion into the Anaerobic Digestor and Bio-fertilizer markets. Following the appointment of Mr. Roberts, Scirocco's Board of Directors (the "Board") now consists of four Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman, and the CEO. It is the intention of the Board to reduce its size in the coming months to ensure it is appropriately sized from a cost discipline perspective while maintaining the appropriate level of expertise, public markets experience and independence to deliver the Company's strategy on behalf of the shareholders.

In this regard, Muir Miller has served notice of his intention to step down from the Board on 31 May 2023. Mr. Miller joined the Board in February 2021 and has provided the Company with valuable insight around renewable energy assets based on his extensive prior experience. Mr. Miller was also responsible for setting up the Company's ESG strategy in compliance with the UN sustainable development goals and will provide a managed handover of his renewable energy brief to Mr. Roberts.

Going forward, and as part of an ongoing process to ensure the Board provides the appropriate range of experience and expertise taking account of the Company's forward strategy, the Board intends to review its composition as the Company makes further progress on its own transition from an investor in natural resources to renewable energy assets over the coming year.
