Disclaimer: This presentation and any accompanying management discussion of this presentation (the "Presentation") is given by LMS 

Capital plc (the "Company"). This Presentation is for information purposes only and does not constitute: (i) an invitation or inducement to 
engage in any investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) 
("FSMA"), whether in the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction; (ii) any recommendation or advice in respect of the ordinary shares

Forward-looking statements: No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the information or opinions contained in or given 

during this Presentation. The information and opinions contained in or given during this Presentation are provided as at the date hereof,

that nothing in this paragraph shall exclude liability for any representation or warranty made fraudulently. The Presentation includes 
statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements include all matters that 
are not historical facts. They include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, 
amongst other things, the Company's results of operations, financial conditions, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in 
which the Company operates. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events 
and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future 
performance. The Company's actual results of operations, financial conditions and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which

addition, even if the Company's results of operations, financial conditions and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the 
Company operates, are consistent with the forward looking statements contained in the Presentation, those results or developments may 
not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. In light of those risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events 
described in the forward-looking statements in the Presentation may not occur. Other than in accordance with the Company's obligations 
under the Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly 
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All written and oral forward-looking
