Related Party Loan Extension

The Company announces that, on 31 March 2025, it entered into an agreement with Beinhaker Design Services Ltd ("BDSL") to extend the existing unsecured loan finance with BDSL (the "BDSL Loan"), first announced on 27 April 2022, and updated most recently on 16 December 2024, by a further £0.74 million ("Additional Loan"), to provide additional headroom in the Company's cash resources until targeted property disposals are completed.

The BDSL Loan and Additional Loan carry a fixed 8% gross annual interest rate with the option, at the discretion of the Company, to roll up some or all of the interest at a fixed 10% annual interest rate. The Additional Loan is repayable, plus interest, following the reduction of the bank facility, as announced on 21 March 2025, and as cashflow permits. The BDSL Loan has been amended such that it is now repayable in equal portions no earlier than each of 31 August 2025, 31 November 2025 and 28 February 2026, as cashflow permits and without penalty for any early repayment. In aggregate, the current principal outstanding of the BDSL Loan is now £6.29 million, excluding accrued interest.

Related Party Transaction

The BDSL Loan extension (the "Transaction") constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules, as BDSL represents 56% of the holdings of FB Investors LLP, which has a 75.38% holding in the Company, and is controlled by the Beinhaker family. The directors, other than Philip Beinhaker and Corey Beinhaker, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Strand Hanson, consider that the terms of Transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.
