The latest announcement is out from Advance Energy ( (GB:BCE) ).

Beacon Energy has published an admission document outlining a reverse takeover-style acquisition of a significant strategic interest in LNEnergy Limited, alongside a conditional equity fundraise of £3.79 million through the issue of 97,191,443 new shares at 3.9 pence. The deal, which would expand the company’s share capital to 124,790,040 shares and imply a post-admission market value of about £4.87 million, is intended to provide proven reserves and a route to production, marking a transformative step in its growth strategy.

The transaction is subject to shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting on 5 March 2026, with readmission of the enlarged share capital to AIM targeted for 6 March 2026 and definitive share certificates to follow by 13 March. Management has warned that if the inter-conditional resolutions for the acquisition and fundraise are not passed, the transaction will not proceed, alternative funding or a replacement deal is unlikely to be found promptly, and the company’s existing admission to AIM may be cancelled, potentially leading to administration.
