THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION, RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU NO. 596/2014) AS IT FORMS PART OF UK DOMESTIC LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018.

PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.

Proposed sale of 1.25 million ordinary shares in Lok'nStore Group plc ("Lok'nStore" or the "Company")

Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") has been appointed as sole bookrunner in connection with the sale of 1.25 million ordinary shares of 1 pence each (the "Ordinary Shares") in the capital of Lok'nStore (the "Placing Shares") by Andrew Jacobs LLP (the "Seller") to institutional investors (the "Placing"). The ultimate beneficiary of Andrew Jacobs LLP is Andrew Jacobs, the Company's Chair. The proposed sale of the Placing Shares will broaden the Company's institutional shareholder base and potentially increase liquidity in the trading of the Company's shares while also allowing Andrew Jacobs to diversify his investments and financial interests.

 

Andrew Jacobs and persons closely associated with him currently own, in aggregate, 5,609,550 million Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 18.7 per cent. of the Company's entire issued share capital. Following the completion of the Placing, Andrew Jacobs will remain the Company's largest shareholder.

The price per Placing Share is 800 pence per share. The final number of Placing Shares to be sold will be determined by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process to institutional investors. The bookbuilding period will commence today, 05 May 2023, immediately following this announcement, and may close at any time on short notice. The results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable after the closing of the bookbuilding process.

In the context of the Placing, any of the Ordinary Shares in Lok'nStore held by Andrew Jacobs and persons closely associated with him which are not sold in the Placing, will be subject to a 365-day lock-up undertaking (subject to certain customary exceptions). 

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
