Hercules plc
("Hercules" or the "Company")
Delay in Publication of Final Results and Temporary Suspension
Hercules plc (AIM: HERC), a leading technology enabled labour supply company for the UK infrastructure and construction sectors, announces an update regarding the publication of its final results for the year ended 30 September 2025 ("FY25 Accounts").
The audit of the Company's FY25 Accounts is progressing and is now in its final stages. The audit this year has taken longer than expected due to the consolidation of acquisitions and further work needed to review certain sub-contractor contracts. As a result, the FY25 Accounts will not be published by 31 March 2026, being the deadline provided by Rule 19 of the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules"). Consequently, in accordance with the AIM Rules, the Company's ordinary shares will be temporarily suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7.30 am on 1 April 2026 pending release of its FY25 Accounts.
The Company is working closely with its auditors to complete the audit process as soon as possible and currently expects to publish its FY25 Accounts in May 2026. The Board expects that the final results will be in line with the guidance provided in the Company's announcement of 10 February 2026.
The Company will provide further updates regarding the publication of the FY25 Accounts as appropriate.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.
