Jarvis Securities plc

("Jarvis" or "the Company" and with its subsidiaries the "Group")

 Change of Accounting Reference Date

Jarvis announces that it is changing its year end date from 31 December to 30 June.

The Company will announce unaudited second interims for 6 months to 31 December 2024 (the "Second Interims") before the end of June 2025 and will produce audited results for the 18 month period to 30 June 2025 ("Audited Results") before the end of September 2025.

Reason for the Change in Accounting Reference Date

As announced on 15 April 2025, the conditional sale of the retail execution-only brokerage business (the "Transaction") is expected to occur in early July 2025.  The Company is aware that certain conditions will not be satisfied, giving the buyer, Interactive Investor Services Limited ("ii"), the right to withdraw from the Transaction if not waived. However, ii has currently indicated its intention to proceed to completion and both parties continue to work towards the successful completion of the Transaction. If ii choose to withdraw from the Transaction this would have a detrimental financial impact on the Group.  The accounting for the sale of the retail execution-only brokerage business will impact both the going concern assessment and the carrying value of assets on the Jarvis balance sheet. As it is not possible to accurately determine the impact of either of these items until completion of the Transaction has occurred, the directors, on the advice of their auditors, have taken the decision to change the Company's accounting reference date to 30 June. 

Kieran Price, Finance Director of Jarvis Securities Plc, has approved this announcement and authorised its release.
