UK office lease renewal

In addition, the Company announces that it has agreed terms with Ellei
Properties Ltd to renew the lease for its UK headquarters, located at The Hat
Factory, 166-168 Camden Street, London NW1 9PT (the "London Office").

 

The lease for the 490 square metre premises has been extended for a further 10
years (effective from 1 January 2025), at a rental rate of £180,000 per annum
plus buildings insurance (previously £150,000 per annum), with break clauses
exercisable every two years and periodic rent reviews (the "Lease Agreement").
The Board considers that the renewed annual rent is below the market rate for
other comparable properties.

 

The London Office is owned by Ellei Properties Ltd, a company that is
beneficially owned by the spouses of Brian Message and Craig Newman, Executive
Directors and Co-Founders of the Company, with Mr Message and Mr Newman also
being the directors of Ellei Properties Ltd.  As such, entering into the
Lease Agreement is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to the
AIM Rules for Companies. The directors of the Company that are independent for
the purposes of this transaction (being Adam Driscoll, Deborah Lovegrove,
Cliff Fluet, Andy Glover and Emma Stoker) consider, having consulted with the
Company's Nominated Adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, that the terms of the
Lease Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders
are concerned.
