Further Update on Process

and

Suspension of Trading on AIM

Safestyle UK plc (AIM: SFE.) provides the following update to its announcement of 26 October 2023 in relation to the process it has been undertaking to try and secure a Proposed Sale, as that term is defined in that announcement.

As negotiations progress with interested parties, it has become increasingly unlikely, in the reasonable belief of the Directors of Safestyle, that any Proposed Sale, even if it was completed, will result in any return to shareholders.

Due to the ongoing financial uncertainty regarding the Group, its limited working capital and the circumstances noted above, the Company has requested that its shares are suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7.30am on 27 October 2023.

Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
