(the "Company")

Potential Transaction and Suspension of Trading on AIM

The Company is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding Heads of Terms for the potential acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Silvercloud Holdings Limited ("Silvercloud") (the "Potential Transaction").

Silvercloud owns a majority interest in Le Chameau Holdings Limited, the premium heritage footwear brand, established in 1927, specialising in the production of handmade rubber boots.

The Potential Transaction remains subject to a number of factors, including shareholder approval, due diligence and entering into a final binding agreement. Accordingly, the timing for any transaction is unknown and there can be no certainty that the Potential Transaction will complete.

Under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules") the Potential Transaction would constitute a reverse takeover. As such, the ordinary shares of the Company will be suspended from trading until such time as either an admission document is published or an announcement is released confirming that the Potential Transaction is not proceeding.

Silvercloud is defined as a Related Party under the AIM Rules as it is wholly owned by Marwyn Value Investors LP ("MVI LP"). MVI LP, and the underlying funds into which it invests are managed by Marwyn Investment Management LLP ("MIM LLP") (together the "Marwyn Funds"),  are a substantial shareholder of the Company. Certain of the partners of MIM LLP are also directors of the Company and Silvercloud. Should the Potential Transaction proceed, it will need to comply with the additional information requirements of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules relating to Related Party Transactions.

Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk that admission of the Company's shares could be cancelled if they have been suspended from trading on AIM for six months.

Further updates will be made in due course.
