Notes to Editors

 

LifeSafe is a fire safety technology business that develops eco-friendly,
novel and innovative fire extinguishing fluids and life-saving fire safety
products.  Through its highly experienced management team, LifeSafe is
successfully creating new markets for the Group in fire safety through its
unique technologies, products, digital marketing and multi-channel sales.

 

LifeSafe has developed what the Directors believe to be a market disrupting
range of eco-friendly fire safety protection products including, launched in
December 2022, a new Thermal Runaway Fluid to combat thermal runaway in
lithium battery fires by permanently extinguishing and preventing the
re-ignition of lithium fires.  This is an evolution of the Group's core
FER1000 extinguishing fluid, for which the Group has been granted a patent in
the UK, which has been developed by LifeSafe to extinguish five different
types of fire: electrical, paper, textiles, cooking oil, and petrol and
diesel.

 

The Group launched its best-selling first generation StaySafe 5-in-1 fire
extinguisher using this fluid on Amazon Prime in the UK in August 2021.  It
subsequently became Amazon Prime's top-selling fire extinguisher in the UK in
the same month.  The StaySafe All-in-1, an evolution of the Group's core
fluid which is verified to extinguish ten different fire types, was launched
in the UK in April 2023 and in the US in July 2023.  StaySafe products were
launched in Screwfix in Spring 2022.

 

LifeSafe is continuing to develop new fluid derivations for applications in
various industrial market sectors.

 

LifeSafe was admitted to trading on AIM in July 2022 with the ticker LIFS.L.
