Since its launch in 2000, the UK’s EMI scheme has proven itself as an incredibly popular model, with a reported 89% of UK companies who use a tax-advantaged share scheme electing to use this approach. In short, it is recognised as offering a tax efficient way of allowing growth companies to provide equity stakes in a bid to attract high quality talent, critically matching the financial interests of founders and employees.

However, one of the single biggest challenges here is the fact that despite employees building this paper wealth, a lack of liquidity makes it very difficult to realise those gains. The collective efforts of employees can continue to boost the valuation, but typically they are left waiting for the necessary corporate event before they can crystalise any profits here. What’s more, the accuracy of the valuation is also hampered – if not indeed depressed – by the lack of liquidity.

So, what’s the solution? By integrating with an established private market such as JP Jenkins, this can provide invaluable institutional buy side distribution, a move that can be instrumental in delivering that improved liquidity and better price discovery. It also gives those institutional investors visibility of a new cohort of fast growth companies - as well as the potential to back them. That’s what drove us to partner with the popular equity management and cap table software provider Ledgy, streamlining access to our services for thousands of British companies.

The systems we have developed at JP Jenkins allow us to integrate directly into the underlying financial ecosystem. That enables better price discovery whilst offering client companies the ability to facilitate well governed and transparent securities transfers with whatever degree of ownership control they may require. What’s more this prints a live market price, giving employees added confidence that their efforts and investment into the business are very much worthwhile, rather than just a seemingly spurious number where the prospect of that converting into hard cash always seems a long way off.

The EMI scheme was undoubtedly a positive result of solid legislation that has helped many companies retain some great talent, but over a quarter of a century later and the world has very definitely moved on. Recognition of the power of being able to unlock and recycle capital grows, whilst more recently the sluggish IPO market leaving companies to stay private for longer has applied another brake on progress. With the recent advances that have been made in integrating private markets like our own venue into the broader financial ecosystem, now is the time for innovative growth companies to harness the power this combination holds.

Powder Monkey Group Limited Announces Partnership with Chris Gayle to Launch Premium Beer Range

London, 12 June 2026 - Powder Monkey Group Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with global cricket icon Chris Gayle to develop and launch a new premium beer range, comprising a signature pilsner and a rum-flavoured beer.

The initial product launch will take place in the United Kingdom, with planned expansion into India and Australia. The partnership combines Powder Monkey's brewing capability with Gayle's global profile to create a distinctive offering within the premium beer segment.

Known as the "Universe Boss," Gayle is one of the most recognisable figures in international cricket, with a strong following across key global markets, particularly in India. The collaboration is expected to leverage this reach to support brand growth and market penetration.

The Indian beer market, valued at approximately INR 477 billion in 2025, is projected to reach INR 833 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.45%. Powder Monkey intends to capitalise on this growth through a phased international rollout following the UK launch.

Andy Burdon, CEO of Powder Monkey Group, commented:

"This partnership brings together a proven brewing platform and one of the most recognisable personalities in global sport. We are launching in the UK with a clear plan to scale internationally, targeting markets where Chris has strong consumer resonance."

Chris Gayle added:

"From the outset, it was clear that Powder Monkey shared my ambition to create high-quality products with broad appeal. I'm pleased to be working closely with the team and to have taken an equity position in the business as part of this partnership."

The announcement forms part of Powder Monkey's wider growth strategy. In 2025, the Group expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of seven breweries and continues to invest in additional production capacity, including a recently opened facility in South West Sydney.

The Company is also preparing for a new share subscription to be launched in June 2026, with trading available via the JP Jenkins secondary market platform.

Whilst some founders may be all too keen to see the back of a business they grew from a seed of an idea into a successful enterprise, it’s fair to say they are likely in the minority. For many - and indeed for some of the early stage investors who shared in the founder’s passion, dream and invariably a degree of turbulence along the way - the idea of selling the entire asset and entrusting its fate to a new custodian can be something that is genuinely feared, not welcomed.

With that in mind, the challenge of realising a liquidity event, enabling the recycling of capital and still retaining a material ownership stake - and voting rights - in the business is one that faces many advisers and founders every day.

Historically the solution may have been to look at a traditional public market listing, but the rising costs, reporting and regulatory burdens here have resulted in a pattern becoming entrenched over the last few years - companies are staying private for longer.

Another option is a trade sale, but that’s likely to result in a binary outcome. Attempting to negotiate a residual role under a new ownership structure is unlikely to be popular with the new investors - and likely not so rewarding for the founder, either. It would also almost inevitably remove any concept of optionality for an early stage investors who wanted to remain part of the venture for an extended period of time, too.

That’s where the modern private market now plays such a critical role, addressing each of these challenges in turn - and without the costs risking the entire venture being left to look like a vanity project.

A markets-lite listing allows transfers and partial sales of securities to be made in a transparent and well governed manner. Guard rails can be applied in line with the company’s requirements to provide whatever degree of control is necessary in ensuring ownership doesn’t transfer to unwelcome parties, trading windows can be defined, whilst trading limits can also be applied to ensure price volatility is well managed at all times. This new generation of market is all about putting the company in control, making sure their needs and those of their investors are addressed, whilst operating within a formalised framework.

This approach gives institutional investors the confidence to get involved, provides an exit route for those who want to scale back their holdings and a well defined route to capital table restructuring or consolidation. The panacea of a controlled, partial exit can is now within reach of any privately held business.

Article 4 of 6

The Directors’ Valuation is currently £2.55 per share.

The Directors’ Valuation was last reviewed in June 2026. Details about the update are available here.

Our approach to the Directors’ Valuation has been consistently applied for the last 17 years. It is based on the value of each project in the portfolio, both operating and under construction.

We use a detailed discounted cash flow valuation. This looks at the forecast income for each project in the future less direct project costs and central overheads.

The forecast is discounted to account for time and risk- with more risky projects discounted more and money forecast to be received further into the future discounted more than money due in the short term.

We consider this approach appropriate for our projects which are capital intensive and long-term investments. The Directors’ Valuation is regularly updated and adjusted after any material events which impact on the valuation, such as the acquisition of new projects, changes in electricity prices and corporation tax.

In 2019, we sold two operational wind farms realising a significant gain. Established renewable energy projects have become a desirable commodity, offering long term inflation linked revenues. The sale of the two projects provides further evidence to support our valuation of the Company.

("Samarkand", the "Company" or together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

Trading Update 12 Months Ending 31 March 2026 (FY26)

Samarkand Group Limited, (JPJ:SMK), is a consumer brand owner, specialist in natural health and

wellbeing. The Company provides a trading update for year ending 31 March 2026 (FY26) on an unaudited basis.

The Group has moved into full year profitability in FY26 on an EBITDA basis and has seen an encouraging start to FY27 trading. Following a period of restructuring and reconfiguration, the Group is now focused on the growth and development of its portfolio of owned natural health and wellbeing brands. These brands include Napiers the Herbalists, Zita West and Natures Greatest Secret.

Owned brands revenues in the UK grew in the range of 10% to 15% vs prior year. This growth, combined with improvements in gross margins, effective management of operating costs and the discontinuation of unprofitable activities, have enabled the Group to achieve positive full year adjusted EBITDA of c.£450k.

Brand Performance

• Napiers the Herbalists is our natural herbal apothecary brand, founded in Edinburgh in the 1860s. The brand grew revenues in the UK by c.12.5% in the year. This growth was driven by new product introductions targeting health and wellbeing trends, new customer acquisition and omnichannel expansion. New product launches expanded our natural herbal skin care offer and improved our range of Napiers brand vitamins and supplements.

• The original Napiers the Herbalists apothecary store has been in the same location in the old town of Edinburgh since the 1860s. The store grew revenue by c.35% vs prior year. In the same period online sales from Napiers eCommerce site grew by c.25% vs prior year.

• We launched a specialist platform, My Natural Life, to support our partnership with independent medical herbalists and other health and wellness practitioners. This platform enables practitioners to operate their practices more efficiently and effectively and makes it easier to work with and recommend our brands to their customers.

• Zita West is our specialist supplement product line for fertility and reproductive health. UK revenues for this brand grew c.15% over prior year. This is attributable to strong customer retention and new customer acquisition on a DTC basis. This was also driven by new product development at clinician recommended effective doses and supported by enhanced marketing and strong growth with select retail partners.

• Our Zita West brand offers customers fertility nutrition backed by clinical expertise. We support customers with extensive education and high touch customer care in support of their fertility goals. We expanded our team of specialist nutritionists to provide tailored, personal support to a growing number of customers.

• Natures Greatest Secret, our colloidal silver based natural health and wellbeing brand for humans and pets grew revenues by c. 8% on a like for like basis. There was strong growth in the pet category in particular which resulted from developing retail and wholesale partnerships. We expanded our range of natural herbal preventative remedies for cats and dogs has been expanded. This offer pet owners a wider range of natural solutions.

1David Hampstead, Chief Executive Officer of Samarkand Group, commented:

“We are pleased with the progress we have made in the growth and development of our owned brands. Our brands are meaningfully differentiated, well positioned in high growth natural health and wellbeing segments and enjoy strong unit economics in terms of gross margins and contribution profit. We are excited about their future growth potential and see many opportunities to expand the reach of all our brands.

Our operating model pairs specialist brand and marketing with shared resources which are leveraged across all brands. Shared resource span new product development, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and consumer pick pack ship. This model enables operating leverage and delivers differentiated speed to market across the portfolio. The restructuring and refocusing of the Group are largely complete. This transition can be seen in our improved performance across all metrics as we drive profitable growth in our owned brands. Our ambition for the year ahead is to grow our top line at a low double digit rate vs prior year and to further improve operating margins and EBITDA delivery through operating leverage.

The new financial year has started well. Trading in April and May was close to expectations. Both months are expected to be profitable at the EBITDA level and are showing healthy growth over the same period last year. We are excited about the future potential in the growth and development of our owned brands. While we remain wary of the external environment and the potential impact on consumer demand and input costs, we remain optimistic for the year to come.”

Listing on a formalised private market comes with significant advantages for both the investor and the issuing company, not least when you’re looking at valuations.

In addition to having a structured market deliver a weight of credibility, it also enables investors to place a far higher degree of confidence on the valuation of an asset. Whether that’s a fund manager wanting to provide frequent updates to clients or an individual looking to understand net worth and potentially manage tax positions, a true secondary market accompanied by strong disclosure and reporting requirements acts as a genuine catalyst to change investor behaviour.

And without a private listing, investors face a real challenge when it comes to applying a valuation. Some may rely on the last funding round and that’s less of an issue if the company is continually going back to investors seeking fresh capital as the market is revaluing the proposition on a regular basis. But profitable, growing businesses look different and to account for that a range of metrics can be applied to adjust a valuation over time based on the performance of sector peers. But ultimately an active market and a live price will always give by far the most accurate valuation.

It’s worth noting that not all secondary market trading is considered ‘good’. If the price appears artificially supported, the valuation is disconnected from the wider fundamentals or liquidity is so thin as to raise questions over efficient price discovery then the listing is little more than a tick box exercise and will be marked down accordingly.

However, a robust company trading in an equally robust and well governed private market environment is far better positioned. Institutional investors will be willing to deploy capital in greater quantities, that important price discovery point is addressed, the real world demand for the stock will emerge, investors gain confidence and there’s a genuine path to exit laid out.

Secondary trading facilities can deliver a material impact, but business owners need to be mindful that despite the private market designation, there’s no room to hide. The accompanying transparency is after all what will give the heavyweight investors the confidence to back your business and further bolster your valuation.

Article 3 of 6.

A simple platform is admittedly a vital starting point for any operator who is looking to bring together buyers and sellers of whatever asset. Markets, venues, hubs, portals - whichever term is applied, the underlying principle is the same, as willing counterparties need to know others like them exist, but without a robust supporting infrastructure, casual arrangements certainly aren’t fit for purpose when it comes to buying and selling securities - regardless of the size of the transaction.

That’s why JP Jenkins has been working hard in recent years to ensure that their own systems and processes now integrate fully and directly with the underlying public market infrastructure. The key catalyst here was the acquisition of JP Jenkins by FinTech company InfinitX, as without the technical integration you’re left with just a very inefficient bulletin board - and price discovery that will have a lot of potential for improvement.

That integration with the wider public market infrastructure now works equally well for both our legacy matched bargain venue and also the new JP Jenkins Private market, which was the first venue to successfully host a PISCES liquidity event.

What’s more, the application of a level playing field, a degree of standardised reporting and in turn a structure that enables investors to undertake due diligence is far easier to achieve with a formalised framework or infrastructure. Those like JP Jenkins who adopt this approach are increasingly gaining the attention of market participants who want to work with trusted partners to offer a well governed route to liquidity. We’re becoming very much a part of the secondary market landscape.

Again, that perception of what differentiates a public market from a modern private one becomes increasingly blurred. Whilst the less onerous reporting structure, the involvement of fewer third parties on a mandatory basis and the ability to internalise more parts of the process keeps the overall cost of maintaining a listing in check, the accessibility, efficiency of price discovery, settlement and governance aspects remain closely aligned. Principles that are enshrined with our mission to put the needs of our customers and their investors ahead of us as the venue operator.

Mike McCudden, CEO, JP Jenkins

Article 2 of 6.

19 May 2026

The term private market is at risk of being misunderstood. It’s a symptom of many factors and whilst historically access to these investments has been limited, the industry globally is now evolving at pace. 

IPOs are no longer the default route to growth, so more businesses are staying private for longer. Yet to ensure private markets can continue to grow and provide an alternative to address the needs of investors and companies alike, venue providers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, so the line between private and public markets will continue to blur.

At JP Jenkins, their well-known private market historically operated on a manual basis. The 2023 acquisition by InfinitX revolutionised the approach, with upgrades allowing any broker or institution connected to public market infrastructure to place orders over industry standard Order Management Systems. This seamless integration means it’s as easy for a broker or fund manager to price and place orders for privately listed stocks as it is for blue chips. Yes, there are challenges with liquidity, but the ability to place these orders is fully embedded into the public market infrastructure, with deals exchanged electronically and settlement taking place with the usual CREST registrars.

Further, in March 2026, JP Jenkins conducted the first ever liquidity event under the new PISCES (Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System) regulatory regime. Using our newly formed private market and existing public market infrastructure, our success here reinforced the UK Government’s commitment to the growth potential of private markets.

Enabling liquidity events to take place in a structured manner is fundamental to growing private markets. We’re at the start of this journey now, but the path ahead is a bright one and the functionality JP Jenkins delivers as part of our PISCES offer gives participating companies unparalleled levels of control. Companies set the parameters for the price channel where their shares can trade to minimise volatility, choose between auction events and trading periods and can also specify timing. Whether that’s once a month or once a year, the client decides, giving them control of the process. 

Further, the removal of stamp duty and preservation of employee rights under EMI schemes, the PISCES framework looks to ensure private companies can scale efficiently whilst providing liquidity and capital reallocation across the growth company segment. 

Private markets are no longer a niche play. They are moving mainstream, driven by a combined desire for companies to stay away from public markets, investors seeking liquidity and technology and venue providers stepping up, realising that there’s an alternative route to IPO or trade sale. The genre may be Private Markets, but the reality is already looking closer to Public Markets lite.

Riyadh-headquartered The Sports Consultancy (TSC) announces GCC partnership with global sports data leader 4GLOBAL, expanding its data and AI-powered advisory offer across infrastructure planning, participation growth, and impact measurement.

Riyadh, 20th April 2026 — The Sports Consultancy (TSC), the Riyadh-headquartered sports management consultancy, today announced a GCC-wide partnership with 4GLOBAL, the global leader in sports data, demand modelling, and participation intelligence.

The partnership was formalised at the Sports Investment Forum (SIF) in Riyadh and marks a significant expansion of TSC’s data and AI capabilities — bringing together world-class sports intelligence, econometric impact measurement, and strategic advisory under one regional platform, built and delivered from the Kingdom.

A Region at an Inflection Point

The numbers alone tell a striking story. Saudi Arabia’s sports market has grown from $1.3 billion in 2016 to $8.5 billion today, with projections reaching $22.4 billion by 2030 — a figure that would place the Kingdom among the world’s leading sports economies. The participation rates have risen from 13% of the population in 2015 to 50% today, and over 100 major international events have been hosted across 40 sports since 2019. The infrastructure investment pipeline is equally significant, with $2.7 billion committed to facility development and renovation by 2028.

The scale of what is being built — and the pace at which it is being built — is without precedent in the region’s history.

For TSC, this investment environment represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. TSC’s commercial and strategic advisory — spanning feasibility, venue commercialisation, operator procurement, and event strategy — has always been grounded in rigorous analysis. The partnership with 4GLOBAL will now take that advisory to a new level, embedding world leading data intelligence at every stage of the decision-making process. This unique combination of expertise and proprietary data will enhance the our services and provide unparalleled levels of insight for partners across the region.

Three Capabilities. One Mission.

Infrastructure and Demand Planning

Giga-projects, development authorities, and investors building sports and mixed-use destinations need to know where demand exists, what facilities will be used, and how to structure commercial models that work. Through 4GLOBAL’s proprietary demand modelling platform — proven to 96% accuracy globally and driven by a global database of over 8bn datapoints— TSC can now provide GCC clients with the same evidence base that has guided investment decisions in leading sports cities worldwide.

Participation and Federation Strategy

Increasing mass participation is not just a social objective — it is a commercial and reputational one. Federations and governments need to understand where their audiences are, what barriers exist, and which interventions will move the dial. 4GLOBAL’s participation mapping and benchmarking capabilities, now available through TSC in the GCC, provide that evidence base at city, national, and regional scale.

Major Event Legacy & Impact

Every major event in the region needs to demonstrate its value — to leadership, to sponsors, to tourism authorities, and to the next bid committee. TSC’s Event Impact platform, already deployed for leading Saudi and UAE organisations, integrates economic, social, commercial, and reputational measurement into a single real-time intelligence tool. The Event Impact enables rights holders, governments, and cities to move beyond post-event reports and make smarter decisions across their entire events portfolio — before, during, and after delivery.

Built Here, for the Region

TSC is headquartered in Riyadh as a recognised Regional Headquarters (RHQ) company, with deep experience advising governments, federations, and major projects across the GCC. The 4GLOBAL partnership deepens that commitment — bringing permanent, regionally embedded data capability to a market that has historically relied on international consultants without sustained local presence.

“The GCC has demanded increasing levels of insight-led expertise as governments and investors build major event, infrastructure, and sports IP portfolios of extraordinary scale and ambition. TSC has been at the centre of that work — advising on commercial frameworks, feasibility, and legacy across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Our partnership with 4GLOBAL now gives us something we have long needed: the world’s most comprehensive sports participation and demand intelligence, embedded directly into our advisory. Together, we can ensure that the facilities being built, the programmes being designed, and the events being hosted in this region don’t just happen — they deliver”

Angus Buchanan, Co-Founder & CEO, The Sports Consultancy (TSC)

“4GLOBAL has spent two decades helping cities plan facilities communities actually use, supporting federations in growing participation, and working alongside organising committees at nine Olympic and major international games to maximise their legacy. In every case, the difference between ambition and measurable outcomes has been data. The GCC is now one of the most significant sports investment environments in the world — and partnering with TSC gives our intelligence the crucial strategic and commercial layer it needs to translate into real decisions, on the ground, in the region.”

Jack Shakespeare, Managing Director – UK, EU, GCC – 4GLOBAL About TSC

The Sports Consultancy (TSC) is a Riyadh-headquartered sports management consultancy advising governments, federations, development authorities, and major event organisers across the GCC and globally. TSC’s services span feasibility and commercialisation strategy, operator procurement, event impact measurement, and data and AI-powered sports intelligence.
