Strategic Shareholding Update

 

 

BSF Enterprise PLC (LSE: BSFA) ("BSF" or the "Company"), a leading innovator in tissue-engineered materials, is pleased to announce, further to the Company's announcement of 2 April 2026 regarding the placing of new ordinary shares (the "Placing"), that Mr John Story has acquired a significant beneficial interest in the Company pursuant to the Placing.

 

The Company understands that, following settlement, Mr Story is expected to be the largest individual shareholder. A TR-1 notification in respect of this holding is expected to be made in due course following settlement.

 

Mr Story is Chairman and a principal shareholder of Peers Hardy (UK) Limited, a well-established watch, jewellery and accessories group supplying major high street retailers and operating a portfolio of consumer brands.

 

Peers Hardy has a long track record in the design, sourcing and distribution of fashion and premium watches and accessories, including licensed and owned brands, and has demonstrated an ability to adapt to changing consumer trends within the retail and wearable technology markets.

 

The Board believes that Mr Story's experience across retail, branded consumer products and premium accessories is highly relevant to the Company's strategy as it develops its position in high-value, next-generation materials, including its recently unveiled T-Rex Leather™ product.

 

The Company looks forward to engaging with Mr Story as a supportive and strategic shareholder.
