 STATEMENT RE: LEGAL CLAIM

FireAngel (AIM:FA), a leading developer and supplier of home safety products, announces that legal proceedings have been commenced against Fireangel Safety Technology Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Subsidiary") by Zenner International GmbH & Co KG and Minol Messtechnick W. Lehmann GmbH & Co KG (the "Claimants") relating to the supply by the Subsidiary of alleged defective units between 2011 and 2019.

The claim for damages was issued at the High Court of Justice, England and Wales on 20 March 2024 and served on the Subsidiary today. The maximum value of the claim is €7,255,505 plus interest and legal costs. In the alternative, the Claimants seek specific performance of obligations under an alleged warranty to repair or replace the allegedly defective units.

Having taken legal advice, the Subsidiary believes the claim is without merit and will robustly defend the proceedings.

Noting the nature of the legal proceedings, the Company will provide further comment at the appropriate time.
