Companies House record amendments

Vertu Motors plc notes that its Companies House records have been falsely amended by a malicious actor, such that the public record maintained by Companies House currently states that 1) several of the Company's directors have resigned, and 2) two new directors have been appointed.

The Company confirms that none of the above changes have legally occurred, and that therefore the Company's board of directors remains unchanged and is as listed on Vertu's investor relations website and as referenced in previous announcements.

The Company is in the process of liaising with Companies House to have the public record corrected, is seeking a court injunction to prevent any further changes being made to its public records by the malicious actor and is working with Companies House to establish how the malicious actor was able to access Companies House systems to make these changes.
