Update on Filing of Legal Claim

Further to the announcement on 21 May 2018 and following a court hearing on 25 May 2018, Safestyle UK PLC provides an update having issued a claim seeking injunctive relief and damages against NIAMAC Developments Ltd (trading as Safeglaze UK) and a number of named individuals. The claim was made in the Business and Property Courts of England & Wales, on the Intellectual Property list.

The claim asks the Court to determine whether Safestyle is entitled to injunctive relief and damages from what the Group considers to be passing off, the misuse of confidential information, unlawful means conspiracy and malicious falsehood.

Safestyle also applied for urgent interim relief, pending the trial of this matter. The first hearing of that application took place on 25 May 2018.

At the hearing, the Court made a number of Orders against Safeglaze UK and certain named individuals. Those Orders have been made on an interim basis, pending further order or final order of the Court. They include a number of injunctive orders preventing Safeglaze UK and certain named individuals from undertaking various actions, and an order requiring them to provide specified documents to Safestyle UK PLC.

A further hearing concerning outstanding matters raised in Safestyle UK PLC's application for interim injunctive relief will be heard during the week commencing 9 July 2018.

Directorate Change

Safestyle also announces the resignation of Chairman Peter Richardson with immediate effect. Peter assumed the role of Chair at short notice but it has become clear that the specific challenges currently facing the business and the time commitment required are beyond what he envisaged. The Board will now seek a replacement Chairman with the requisite time, experience and turnaround skills. Chris Davies, current Senior Non Executive Director and former CEO of SIG PLC will lead the search process for a successor.

Chris Davies, Senior Non Executive Director of Safestyle UK PLC, commented:

'I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank Peter for his time and efforts since joining Safestyle in July 2016. Peter recently stepped into the Chairman role at short notice and has devoted a significant amount of time to support the business. He made a strong contribution to the Board during what has been a challenging time and we wish him luck in his future endeavours.

'We are pleased with the outcome of the hearing and, although we are disappointed to see Peter go, the Board now has the opportunity to appoint a Chairman with the requisite time, experience and turnaround skills at what is a timely juncture. The incoming Chairman will, amongst other responsibilities, lead the process of reinforcing the Board with a new contingent of NEDs to complement existing skillsets.
