Ultimate Products Announces Delisting of Ordinary Shares from London Stock Exchange's Main Market and to List on AIM As detailed in the Ultimate Products Plc's announcements on 13 August and 28 October 2025, the Board has reviewed whether it would be in shareholders' best interests to change the Company's listing venue from the London Stock Exchange's Main Market to AIM and has concluded that at the Company's current market capitalisation, the AIM market would be the most suitable listing venue for the Group. Accordingly, the Notice also details proposals to cancel the admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares from the ESCC category of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities. The notice also outlines the Company's intention to apply for the simultaneous admission of its Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM (through the streamlined process for companies that have had their securities traded on the Official List, known as the "AIM Designated Market" route). Expected timetable: The last day of dealings in the Company's Ordinary Shares on the Main Market will be January 14, 2026. Cancellation of listing of the Company's Ordinary Shares on the Official List will take effect at 8.00 a.m. on January 15, 2026.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (337% cash payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.7% net profit margin).

Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 7.2% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.
