 Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO; AltX:KBO), the energy development company with an increasing
 focus on renewables, announces that its non-executive chairman, Mr. Christian Schaffalitzky, will
 retire from the board early in 2022. Mr. Schaffalitzky’s decision is part of his retirement planning
 as he reduces his workload across his business interests.


 The Company has commenced the search for a new non-executive chairman with a strong track-
 record in the renewable energy field and expects to make an announcement early in 2022.


 Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo said: “I want to thank Christian on behalf of the Kibo Board for his
 dedication and commitment to Kibo over the last 13 years. His technical knowledge and company
 management skills have made a significant contribution to the Company’s development during his
 time as Chairman. I wish Christian the very best with his retirement plans. I look forward to sharing
 more information on the appointment of a new company chairman early in 2022.”


 “Separately, we were saddened to learn of the recent passing of one of Kibo's founders, Richard Speir.
 Richard was a geologist and oceanographer who was an expert on Tanzanian economic geology and
 was responsible for identifying the potential of the Katoro nickel project, held by our subsidiary
 company Katoro Gold plc. He will be missed”
