About Sprue Aegis plc

Sprue's mission is to protect, save and improve our customers' lives by making innovative, leading edge technology simple and accessible.

Sprue is one of the market leaders in the European home safety products market and is now launching its own connected homes product proposition. Its principal products are smoke alarms, CO alarms and accessories and the Group has an extensive portfolio of patented intellectual property. Sprue has patented its technology in Europe, the US and other selected territories.

The introduction of new technologically advanced products and new safety products legislation in the UK and in Europe, and increasing levels of awareness of the dangers of smoke and CO, continue to drive sales.

Sprue manufactures CO sensors at its subsidiary, Pace Sensors for use in its CO alarms. All other manufacturing and product assembly is outsourced to two principal third party contract manufacturers in China, one of which is Jarden Corporation which owns 23.4% of the Company's issued share capital and Pace Technology which is independent from Jarden Corporation.

Sprue enjoys a leading sales footprint in UK Retail and the UK's Fire & Rescue Services ("UK F&RS"). The Group also supplies the UK's Utility sector which includes customers such as British Gas and Scottish Gas and has a well-established but relatively low market share of the UK Trade sector. Sprue has significant sales into Continental Europe mainly selling through a network of independently owned third party distributors.

The Group has won a number of prestigious Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 Awards, which recognises the 100 fastest growing companies in the UK. Sprue's head office is in Coventry and it has a second office in Gloucester. Distribution centres are located in Cambridge and Gloucester.

Sprue's range of products is comprehensive, allowing the Group to tailor the range of smoke alarms, CO alarms and accessories to suit its customer needs at various price points under the following brands:

Ø FireAngel. A market-leading and innovative battery operated range of smoke and CO alarms principally targeted at UK Retail and UK F&RS

Ø AngelEye. Launched in 2012, Sprue sells smoke alarms and CO detectors principally into the French market under the AngelEye brand which has become a leading brand targeted at the DIY channel in France

Ø SONA. A new, low power consumption mains-powered range of smoke and heat alarm products plus CO detection that are market leading and which can be wirelessly interconnected with up to 50 products on a single network

Ø FireAngel Pro. Mains-powered smoke alarm with a 10 year, sealed for life lithium battery back-up. Modern design, quick fitting, tamper-proof mounting plate which locks the alarm head securely in place.

Ø Pace Sensors. CO sensors used within Sprue's CO products are developed by Sprue and Pace Sensors, Sprue's wholly owned subsidiary in Canada. Pace Sensors' CO sensors are used within all FireAngel, AngelEye and Pace Sensors CO detectors and certain First Alert branded CO detectors
