("Supreme," the "Company" or the "Group")

Sale of McColl's Retail Group

Supreme (AIM:SUP), a leading manufacturer, supplier, and brand owner of fast-moving consumer products, notes confirmation of the sale of McColl's Retail Group plc ("McColl's") to Alliance Property Holdings, part of the Morrisons Group ("Morrisons").

The Company wishes to clarify that it has always served the McColl's store estate via a distribution agreement with Morrisons (meaning Supreme delivers and invoices to Morrisons directly). 

The Company estimates that the McColl's estate contributed approximately £350k in revenue to the Group (less than 0.5%) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The Company continues to trade well and looks forward to updating the market further at the announcement of its year end results in July.
