The Retail Offer will allow existing retail shareholders to participate in the fundraising by subscribing for Retail Offer Shares at the Placing Price via the Bookbuild Platform.

Admission and Total Voting Rights
Following the General Meeting held earlier today, the Company will issue 936,900 Second Placing Shares.

It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Second Placing Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 23 August 2023. The Second Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with existing ordinary shares of 1 pence each.
Following Admission, the total number of shares in the capital of the Company in issue with voting rights will be 25,060,893 ordinary shares of 1 pence each.

Notes to Editors
LifeSafe is a fire safety technology business that develops eco-friendly, novel and innovative fire extinguishing fluids with a range of life-saving fire safety products. Through its highly experienced management team, LifeSafe is seeking to create new markets for the Group in fire safety through new technologies, digital marketing and multi-channel sales.
LifeSafe has developed what the Directors believe to be a market disrupting range of eco-friendly fire safety protection products including, launched in December 2022, a new Thermal Runaway Fluid to combat thermal runaway in lithium battery fires by permanently extinguishing and preventing the re-ignition of lithium fires. This is an evolution of the Group's core FER1000 extinguishing fluid, for which the Group has been granted a patent in the UK, which has been developed by LifeSafe to extinguish five different types of fire: electrical, paper, textiles, cooking oil, and petrol and diesel.
The Group launched its best-selling first generation StaySafe 5-in-1 fire extinguisher using this fluid on Amazon Prime in the UK in August 2021. It subsequently became Amazon Prime's top-selling fire extinguisher in the UK in the same month. The StaySafe All-in-1, an evolution of the Group's core fluid which is verified to extinguish ten different fire types, was launched in the UK in April 2023. StaySafe products were launched in Screwfix in Spring 2022.
LifeSafe is continuing to develop new fluid derivations for the industrial market.
LifeSafe was admitted to trading on AIM in July 2022 with the ticker LIFS.L. For additional information please visit https://www.lifesafeholdingsplc.com.
