Trading Update

Notice of Results

Fletcher King plc (AIM: FLK) provides the following trading update and notice of results.

The Company reported a loss before tax of GBP447,000 for the six months to 31 October 2020 and in its announcement of 3 March 2021 stated that it believed that losses for the second half of the year would potentially be similar to the first half.

The Company confirms that it expects overall losses for the second half to be broadly similar to the first half, subject to audit verification. The Company plans to announce results for the year ended 30 April 2021 in the second half of September.

On 2 July 2021, the Company noted recent press speculation regarding a potential purchase of existing shares, issue of new shares (together, constituting no more than 29.99% of the Company's issued share capital) and new board appointments (the "Potential Transaction") involving Elliott Bernerd. Discussions remain ongoing and there can be no certainty that the Potential Transaction will proceed. The Board will provide further updates in due course.

After a very difficult trading period, the Company has started the new financial year with a more optimistic outlook. Clients are engaging more positively in investment activity and the Company is hopeful of securing a pick-up in transaction fee income.

The Company remains well supported by a strong balance sheet with no debt.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of the UK Market Abuse Regulation and the Directors of the Company are responsible for the release of this announcement.
