BSF Enterprise PLC

First Tannable A4-Sized Skin Achieved

Scalable Process Unlocked for Elemental™; T-Rex Leather™ Showcase
Confirmed for 2 April 2026

BSF Enterprise PLC (LSE:BSFA), the tissue-engineering innovator, is pleased to
report a significant commercial milestone for its wholly-owned subsidiary
Lab-Grown Leather Limited ("LGL"): the successful production of a fully
tanned, scaffold-free skin reaching A4 sheet size and approaching 2mm
thickness - achieved in a matter of weeks using LGL's proprietary Advanced
Tissue Engineering Platform ("ATEP™").

 

Key Milestones Achieved

•     A4-size tannable skin produced at industrially relevant thickness
(~2mm)

•     Scalable process developed over the last six months using ATEP™

•     Scaffold-free architecture delivering bio-equivalent durability,
breathability and patina

•     Zero-waste geometry: skin cultivated to specification, eliminating
traditional hide scrap rates

•     T-Rex Leather™ website and social channels live; showcase event
confirmed for 2 April 2026

 

Elemental™: A New Standard for High-Performance Luxury Materials

The Elemental™ product series represents the commercial embodiment of LGL's
ATEP™. Over the past six months, the LGL team has engineered a repeatable,
scalable process that takes animal cells and cultivates them into a tannable
skin product at dimensions that are meaningful to luxury goods manufacturers.
This first full tanning of the material - a critical processing step required
before leather can be used in finished goods - confirms that Elemental™ is
advancing through the technical readiness pathway towards commercial supply.

 

Unlike many competing bio-based or synthetic alternative materials, LGL's
scaffold-free approach means the cells self-organise to produce a material
that is bio-equivalent to conventional hide: retaining the structural
integrity, tactile properties, and characteristic patina that luxury brands
demand. The process can be tuned to produce leathers that are thinner,
stronger, or with unique surface characteristics that would be impossible or
unethical to source conventionally. Thus LGL is able to uniquely position
Elemental(TM) as a high-end, low-intervention material, setting the standard
for a new generation of leather and cultivating a new era for luxury.

 

T-Rex Leather™ - Where Technology Meets Rarity

One of the most distinctive and commercially compelling applications of LGL's
platform is its ability to engineer material inspired by the cellular biology
of rare and extinct species. T-Rex Leather™ leverages this capability to
offer the luxury and fashion industries access to materials that are, by
definition, unavailable by any other means - creating a genuine scarcity
narrative that is entirely authentic and ethically sound.

 

This positions LGL in a unique category: not simply a "more sustainable"
version of existing leather, but a genuinely new class of luxury material with
intrinsic rarity, provenance, and a powerful story. The T-Rex Leather™ brand
has now launched its website and social media presence, and a showcase event
has been confirmed for 2 April 2026, which the Company expects to generate
significant press and industry engagement.

Commercial Outlook

The achievement of a tannable skin at A4 scale and industrially relevant
thickness is a key gate in LGL's commercialisation roadmap. The Company is now
in a position to extend its engagement with luxury goods manufacturers,
material distributors, and brand partners on the basis of a tangible, scalable
and demonstrable product. LGL's IP-protected ATEP™ platform provides a
defensible competitive moat across both the conventional luxury leather market
and the emerging exotic/extinct species segment.

 

The Company will continue to update shareholders on progress, including the
outcome of the 2 April 2026 T-Rex Leather™ showcase event.
