UVENCO UK PLC ("Uvenco" or the "Company")

Sale of the assets of certain subsidiary companies

On 21 May 2018 the Company announced that it was considering options available to it following the receipt of an offer for the purchase of the assets of its three trading subsidiaries, Uvenco Limited, Snack in the Box Limited and Drinkmaster Limited (the "Trading Subsidiaries"), and an alternative offer to buy Drinkmaster Limited alone as a going concern.

The Board of the Company has currently concluded that the only deliverable option, in the time available to it, may be to pursue a sale of the trading assets only of the Trading Subsidiaries. This sale would be effected out of an administration. KPMG are advising the Company in this respect and any appointment will be confirmed by a separate announcement at the respective time.

The Directors will continue to operate the affairs of Uvenco UK plc.

Suspension of trading on AIM

At the request of the Company, trading on AIM in the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended from 7:30 a.m. today, pending clarification of its financial position.

Further announcements will be made in due course.
