SIMEC Atlantis Energy ( (GB:AMP) ) has issued an update.

Ampeak Energy has disclosed a change in its shareholder base after Landpad Pte. Limited acquired SIMEC UK Energy Holdings Limited, the company’s largest shareholder, from the SIMEC Group.

Ampeak’s management framed the development as the start of an “exciting new chapter,” suggesting potential alignment on growth and investment in sustainable energy projects that could strengthen the group’s position in the transition to Net Zero and benefit long‑term shareholders.
