Property Transaction

The Company has entered into an agreement with IAF Corporate Finance LLP ("IAF") (the "Agreement") to use the whole of the property leased by IAF at 43-44 New Bond Street (the "Property") as its Head Office and London Learning Centre. The full costs of rent, rates and service charge are estimated at £138,555 per annum. The offices are fully furnished and fitted out and no additional charge will be made for such.

Wey, which uses the Property as its Head Office, has previously shared the Property with IAF since 2012 and since 1 September 2016 has paid approximately 50% of the costs associated with the Property. Having looked at the costings of comparable premises and given the attractive rental, together with Wey's ambitions to open a London Learning Centre, which can be achieved at minimal cost as the Premises are all fitted out in suitable form, and that the Company is only committed to March 2020, the independent directors concluded this was an excellent opportunity for the Company, both financially and practically, at a price which compared favourably with the alternatives.

The Agreement will run until expiry of the current lease in March 2020. The effective date of the agreement is 13 August 2018.

As Mr Massie is Executive Chairman of the Company and is the owner of IAF, the Agreement constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent directors of Wey, that is the directors save for Mr Massie, having consulted with WH Ireland, the Company's nominated adviser, have concluded that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the interests of shareholders are concerned.
