Aukett Swanke Group Plc

("Aukett Swanke", the "Company," or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Change of Name to Built Cybernetics plc

Aukett Swanke (AIM: AUK), the smart buildings and architecture group, is pleased to announce that it has changed its name to Built Cybernetics plc (AIM: BUC).

The Directors believe that the Built Cybernetics name better aligns with the Group's strategic focus as a PropTech group.

The Company is exploring partnerships and investments that further its capabilities in Machine Learning, AI and cybernetics. The Group's ecoDriver business has successfully introduced AI into its software that identifies wasted energy in hospitals, schools and commercial buildings, and the Innovate UK funded programme to develop responsible AI for the built environment concluded on Friday 28 February. The Group's Vanti business is progressing a significant number of promising opportunities for Smart Core, the open source Building Operating System developed by Vanti. Including sites being commissioned, Smart Core is now deployed over commercial floorspace in excess of 2 million sq ft.

Companies House processed the change of name to Built Cybernetics plc on 27 February 2025 and a certificate evidencing this has now been issued. The Company confirms that the change of name has been notified to the London Stock Exchange and trading in the Company's shares under the new company name and the new TIDM "BUC" is expected to commence tomorrow (4 March 2025) at 8.00 a.m.

The Company's SEDOL (0061795), ISIN (GB0000617950), and LEI (213800WWNHLPUBSUK220) remain unchanged.  Existing share certificates should be retained and will remain valid.

The Company's new website can be found at https://www.builtcybernetics.com/, and includes information pursuant to Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The new site hosts all Built Cybernetics investor content and the investor hub on a single integrated platform to better inform and engage with investors and stakeholders, including announcements, reports, presentations, and interviews. The investor hub provides an interactive online experience allowing Built Cybernetics shareholders to comment and ask questions via a portal which will be monitored, with any responses made available to all investors.

Nick Clark, Chief Executive of Built Cybernetics plc, commented:

"The Aukett Swanke name has a proud history, and remains the name of our full service UK architecture business. However, having the same name for the parent company was already creating confusion for prospective clients of Veretec, our fast growing delivery architecture business.

Changing the Company's name to Built Cybernetics plc makes it easier to explain to the market that our future is increasingly about the design, delivery, and operation of truly intelligent buildings where AI takes decisions to deliver a better experience for users, at lower financial and environmental cost.

We see our new Investor Hub website as a means of delivering this message, allowing both current and prospective shareholders to connect with Built Cybernetics and better understand our goals. We encourage our stakeholders to explore the site as we expand the content and update the market on our progress."
