EBT share purchase programme

Ultimate Products, the owner of a number of leading homeware brands including Salter (the UK's oldest houseware brand, est.1760) and Beldray (est.1872), announces that, in its capacity as trustee ("the Trustee") of the Ultimate Products Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT"), JTC Employer Solutions Trustee Limited will commence a programme to buy ordinary shares of 0.25p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") for the next six-month period from 1 August 2022 to 1 January 2023, up to an aggregate value of £325,000 (the "Programme").

The Trustee of the EBT will purchase Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Programme, which seeks to mitigate the dilutive impact of share option awards and to improve overall shareholder return.

The EBT currently holds 2,958,630 (31 July 2021:4,052,738) Ordinary Shares which represent 3.3% (31 July 2021: 4.54%) of the Company's current issued share capital, with 1,094,108 shares having been used during the course of FY21 to satisfy the exercise of share options. The Company currently has a total of 3,137,704 share under option (31 July 2021: 3,315,212).

The Trustee of the EBT has entered into arrangements with the Company's broker, Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited to carry out on-market purchases of Ordinary Shares under the Programme, including on a discretionary basis independent of the Company in accordance with certain pre-set parameters, during any prohibited periods of the Company, as determined by the UK Market Abuse Regulation, which may fall during the period of the Programme.
