Notes to Editors

Business Overview

Market Tech is a holding company which combines iconic real estate assets based in Camden Town in the London Borough of Camden and an e-commerce business. The Company's belief is that an online retail offering combined with the iconic Camden Markets destination, which benefits from annual footfall of approximately 28 million* visitors, to the Camden area, will create a premium experience for customers, increased retailer sales and online‑offline interaction amongst the Company's offerings.

Market Tech owns approximately 11 acres of real estate assets in Camden including all of the major markets located in Camden Town, being Camden Stables Market, Camden Lock Village, Camden Lock Market and Union Street Market (together "Camden Markets"). In addition, the Group also owns separate real estate assets on Jamestown Road and at 251-259 Camden High Street and 31 Kentish Town Road (together with the Camden Markets, the "Real Estate Assets").

In addition to its Real Estate Assets, the Group is developing an e-commerce business based around an online platform to create an online global market place and multichannel offering. The acquisition of the speciality value online retailer, everything5pounds.com, in August 2014 is one of the first steps towards achieving this goal.

The Company's strategy is to create a virtuous circle of synergies and benefits through the interaction of the Group's Real Estate Assets and its planned e-commerce platform. The Company intends to capitalise on the physical flow of visitors to its Real Estate Assets with an online retail offering. This in turn is intended to increase the attractiveness of Camden Markets to physical retailers, especially those with a multichannel strategy. The Directors believe that the Group's management team has the right mix of skills and experience to deliver this strategy and the synergies between the Real Estate Assets and e-commerce.
