Strategic Review

Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, notes the media speculation that the Company is considering cancelling its admission to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, and confirms that this is not the case.

As mentioned in the Final Results announcement of 6 November 2024, the Company has been undertaking a strategic review on how to improve shareholder value. This review included consultations with advisors and various stakeholders and is something any responsible board should undertake from time to time.

As indicated in the recent Final Results announcement, the Company has significantly increased its business prospects, including now having annual contracted recurring revenue in excess of £14m (including DRC estimates). The Company also advised the market that it hopes to finalise an additional managed services contract in the near future.

Accordingly, the directors believe that this significant growth in business together with other measures to be put in place in the months ahead, as a direct result of this review, will have a positive impact on shareholder value. Such measures do not include cancelling its admission to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
