REACH: non-regulatory announcement*

 

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc

("LSTH", "Light Science", the "Company" or the "Group")

PFP Division Secures BSA Accreditation via Construction Online

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (AIM: LST), the innovative technology
and manufacturing business, announces that its Passive Fire Protection ("PFP")
division has achieved Building Safety Act 2022 ("BSA") Accreditation via
Construction Online, a leading European platform for compliance and supply
chain management in the construction sector.

Construction Online has only recently launched its BS 8670 accreditation
process, designed to streamline supplier pre-qualification and help unblock
delays across the construction supply chain. By completing this process, the
Company's PFP division has demonstrated full competence in both Standard
Construction and Higher Risk Buildings (over 18 metres), aligning with the
requirements of BS 8670.

Already a holder of Gold Accreditation, the Company's additional
certifications further validate its expertise across safety leadership, risk
management, and fire/life protection, providing confidence to both the
Building Safety Regulator and customers.

Strong Growth Pipeline

As the UK's leading independent approved installer of Injectaclad, the PFP
division has rapidly established itself since launching in November 2023. In
that time, it has delivered work on 16 buildings, secured £3.2 million in
orders and built a quoted pipeline of approximately £28 million. With active
projects in Manchester, Southampton and Birmingham, the PFP division is well
positioned to capitalise on rising demand as the Building Safety Regulator
addresses the well-publicised industry backlogs.

Simon Deacon, CEO of Light Science, commented:

"These accreditations reinforce our ability to deliver safe, compliant
solutions for our customers. With Construction Online's new BSA accreditation
streamlining the pre-qualification process, we are helping to speed up supply
chain approvals and reduce delays across the industry. As the sector adapts to
the new regulations, our PFP division is ready to move quickly, supporting
contractors and unlocking projects. We believe that these accreditations will
simplify processes for existing and potential customers and the PFP division
is primed for rapid and sustained growth.

"As such, this recognition will support further contract wins and
partnerships, cementing our position as a trusted leader in passive fire
protection."

About Light Science Technologies Holdings
plc (www.lightsciencetechnologiesholdings.com
(http://www.lightsciencetechnologiesholdings.com) )

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc operates through three divisions:
Passive fire protection ("PFP"); AgTech ("AGT") and contract electronics
manufacturing ("CEM"). The company is involved in the design, manufacturing,
and installation of products and customized solutions spanning various
industry sectors, including commercial horticulture, pest control, lighting,
audio, gas detection, and fire protection. With a focus on addressing global
challenges related to food security, climate change, and fire protection, the
Group is committed to developing robust solutions in these rapidly growing
market sectors.

 

LSTH is the holding company for LSTH IFB Limited ("LSTH IFB") in the PFP
division; Light Science Technologies Ltd ("Light Science Technologies") and
Tomtech (UK) Limited ("Tomtech") in the AGT division and UK Circuits and
Electronics Solutions Limited ("UK Circuits") in the CEM division.

 

Passive Fire Protection (https://injectafirebarrier.com/
(https://injectafirebarrier.com/) )

 

LSTH IFB offers a practical and cost-effective solution to rectify
non-compliant public and private buildings, spanning residential, commercial,
and industrial sectors, with regard to fire safety regulations - a challenge
addressed by a £6.1 billion allocation from the UK government. Serving as the
UK's premier independent approved installer, LSTH IFB utilises the
ground-breaking Injectaclad fire-resistant graphite barrier system. This
system is retroactively installed within building cavities, reinstating
fire-resistant performance and containing the spread of fire and smoke
compliant with regulatory requirements. This innovative solution stands out as
an appealing alternative to the more costly and disruptive method of removing
external facades and installing traditional fire barriers. With a proven track
record in the passive fire protection market and a robust sales pipeline, LSTH
IFB targets a UK market potentially valued at up to £50 billion*.

 

AgTech

The Group's tailored solutions encompass control systems, grow lights, sensor
technology, venting, and irrigation systems, catering to both UK and global
customers. Key markets include indoor, vertical, glasshouses, polytunnels, and
more recently wider applications in broadacre farming. Driving factors
comprise global food and water shortages, a growing population, government
policies promoting sustainable growth methods, heightened scrutiny of food
production's impact on climate change, and a shift away from processed foods.
Key markets span the Americas, Australasia, and select locations in the Middle
East.

 

The sensorGROW technology enables real-time monitoring of essential air zone
growing factors such as carbon dioxide, air humidity, air pressure, air
temperature and light, in addition to essential root zone cardinals such as
soil temperature, soil moisture, and soil electroconductivity. Further
developments to monitor greenhouse gases, initially Nitrous Oxide (N20) are in
progress. This empowers farmers to enhance resource management, saving costs
on water, nutrients, fertilizers, and energy, while simultaneously increasing
yields and cultivating healthier crops. Learn more here:
