The Board of Leeds Group plc ('Board') announces that, further to the announcement on 9 January 2024, the Proposed Sale of Hemmers is ongoing and has not yet formally completed.

The Company remains optimistic that the Proposed Sale will complete shortly and a further announcement will be made in due course.
Capitalised terms used in this Announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the same meaning as set out in the announcement on 15 December 2023.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of UK Market Abuse Regulation and has been arranged for release by Jan G Holmstrom, Chairman.
