Statement re share price movement; reverse takeover of BrandShield

The Board of Two Shields Investments plc (AIM:TSI), notes the recent movement in the Company's share price and comment on social media.

TSI confirms that it has agreed terms for an acquisition of BrandShield Ltd ("BrandShield") in a share for share offer, and is in the advanced stages of finalising an accompanying equity raise.

BrandShield is a cybersecurity company offering online threat intelligence for companies globally. The Company currently has an 11.34% shareholding in BrandShield and a convertible loan note subscription of $1.8m, which if exercised would take its total holding to c20%.

Should the acquisition of BrandShield ("Acquisition") proceed, it would constitute a reverse takeover in accordance with AIM Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the Company's shares have been suspended from trading on AIM earlier this morning, and will remain so until either the publication of an admission document setting out, inter alia, details of the proposed transaction or until confirmation is given that discussions have ceased.

Shareholders should note that the Acquisition is subject to the finalisation and signing of a share purchase agreement and placing agreement, and there can be no certainty therefore at this time that the Acquisition will proceed as envisaged.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
