Update on publication of the annual report and accounts

 

Further to the announcement on 25 April, the Company confirms it will not be in a position to publish its Annual Report for the year ended 28 November 2021 ("FY21 Results") by the end of May 2022, as originally intended. The delay reflects the need for a conclusion to discussions with key stakeholders around a potential financing solution for the business, in order to finalise the Company's FY21 audited financial statements. As these discussions remain ongoing, the Board has concluded there is now insufficient time in order to meet the current deadline for filing these results under the Listing Rules.

 

As the end of May is the latest time permitted for publication of the FY21 Results under the Financial Conduct Authority's (the "FCA") Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the FCA's Listing Rules, the Company is expecting, following consultation with the FCA in due course, to request that the listing of the Company's ordinary shares of 1 pence each be temporarily suspended with effect from 7:30am on 1st June 2022.

 

Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
