Scheme becomes effective

On 11 April 2024, the boards of Shurgard and Lok'nStore announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer pursuant to which Shurgard will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Lok'nStore (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is being implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this Announcement have the meanings given to them in the scheme document published by Lok'nStore on 17 May 2024 containing the full terms and conditions of the Acquisition (the "Scheme Document").

Further to the announcement on 18 July 2024 that the Court had sanctioned the Scheme, the boards of Shurgard and Lok'nStore are pleased to announce that, following the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies today, the Scheme has become Effective in accordance with its terms.

Scheme Shareholders on the register of members of Lok'nStore at 6.00 p.m. on 31 July 2024 will be entitled to receive 1,110 pence in cash for each Scheme Share held.

Settlement of the consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is entitled will be effected by the despatch of cheques (or other such method approved by the Panel) (for Scheme Shareholders holding Scheme Shares in certificated form) or the crediting of CREST accounts (for Scheme Shareholders holding Scheme Shares in uncertificated form) no later than 14 days after the Effective Date as set out in the Scheme Document (being 15 August 2024).

In the case of Scheme Shares which have been issued or transferred pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Lok'nStore Share Plans after the making of the Court Order on 18 July 2024 and prior to the Scheme Record Time, being 6.00 p.m. on 31 July 2024, settlement of the consideration to which any Lok'nStore Director or employee of the Lok'nStore Group is due in respect of those Scheme Shares will be effected through Lok'nStore payroll operated by the relevant employing entity of the Lok'nStore Group by 15 August 2024, subject to the deduction of any applicable exercise price, income tax and national insurance contributions.

Trading in Lok'nStore Shares on AIM is expected to be suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. today and the cancellation of admission to trading of Lok'nStore Shares on AIM is expected to take place at 7.00 a.m. tomorrow.

As a result of the Scheme becoming Effective, share certificates in respect of Lok'nStore Shares will cease to be valid documents of title and entitlements to Lok'nStore Shares held in uncertificated form in CREST are being cancelled.
