Impact of Storm Babet

Robinson plc ("Robinson" the "Company" or the "Group" stock code: RBN), the custom manufacturer of plastic and paperboard packaging, provides the following update on the impact of Storm Babet to its premises at Chesterfield.

On 20 October 2023, the river Hipper, which flows by our premises in Chesterfield, rose to its highest ever known level and flooded through part of the site. Part of the premises is occupied by the Group, including the Paperbox manufacturing business and the Group head office; the remainder is let to tenants. The Paperbox business represented 4% of the Group's revenues in 2022. The Group's plastics business was unaffected.

The first and main priority was the safety of those working at the site and the implementation of emergency procedures to mitigate the overall impact. We are pleased to report that despite some challenging circumstances everyone has remained safe.

Despite the substantial efforts of our employees, there has been some damage caused to facilities, materials and equipment and manufacturing operations have paused. There will be disruption as the site clean-up continues prior to recommencement of operations.

Our insurance covers facilities, materials, equipment and business interruption, with an excess of GBP100,000. Our insurers have been notified and we are in discussions whilst accumulating evidence.

We would like to thank the Robinson team and our external partners for their efforts and our customers and suppliers for their understanding.

A further announcement will be made in due course once the impact of the flooding has been more fully assessed.

The Company also announces that its Nominated Adviser and Broker, finnCap Ltd, has now changed its name to Cavendish Capital Markets Limited following completion of its own corporate merger.
