('CEPS' OR THE 'COMPANY')

Notice of Intention to appoint Administrator filed by Vale Brothers Limited

The Board of CEPS announces that it has been informed that Vale Brothers Limited ("Vale"), a subsidiary of CEPS's associate company Vale Brothers Group Limited ("Vale Group"), has filed a Notice of Intention to Appoint Administrators, in order to protect the business in conjunction with engaging advisors to explore a sale of the company, its business and assets.

As mentioned in the Company's interim results on 5 September, Vale Brothers had continued to struggle, in common with its competitors, as demand for its products has been very weak. It has taken the decision to seek a sale as the shareholders were not prepared to inject further money into the business.

As announced on 18 December 2020, CEPS' subsidiary, Davies Odell Limited ("Davies Odell"), merged with Vale which was achieved by the incorporation of Vale Group which acquired 100% of each of Davies Odell and Vale. CEPS owns 33% of the issued share capital of Vale Group.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014 (which forms part of domestic UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018).

The directors of the Company accept responsibility for the content of this announcement.
