Further to the announcement made by the Company on 24 January 2023, Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services, corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, provides the following update to investors.

For legal reasons, Greenbrook Healthcare Limited (" Greenbrook" ), the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary and part of Totally's Urgent Care Division, has today terminated its contracts for the provision of urgent treatment centres ("UTCs") at Northwick Park Hospital, Central Middlesex Hospital, Ealing Hospital and Hillingdon Hospital (the "Contracts"). The Contracts were due to expire on 31 January 2023.

In line with contractual terms, Greenbrook will continue to provide services at the UTCs in a safe, professional manner, until there is an orderly handover to a temporary provider.  The safety of patients and wellbeing of staff, alongside business reputation, remain the Group's priority.

The services were inspected by the CQC in August 2022 and rated as GOOD overall. Greenbrook has previously submitted a tender to deliver services at the four UTCs from 31 January 2023 onwards and continues to await the result of that procurement process.  The Company is committed to this ongoing process and any future procurement process.

The Company remains committed to the provision of the best care possible to patients.  Focus continues on ensuring patient services are not disrupted and that no patient is put at risk.  The Group continues to work with legal advisers on this matter.

Further updates will continue to be provided at the appropriate time.
