Overview of Sorted

o UK-based business with over 60 employees: Manchester based business supported by a second of?ce space situated in London. The Sorted team is comprised of software engineers, technical support, IT, sales, marketing, ?nance and project management professionals.

o Attractive business model with scalable predictable revenue performance: Sorted operates a SaaS business model whereby the majority of Sorted's revenue is driven by customer subscriptions to its Delivery Experience Platform. This in-turn provides annualised recurring revenue. The Directors believe that Sorted is positioned well to continue this growth trajectory.

o Diverse customer base and strong industry partnerships: Sorted's customers range from mid-sized, growing ecommerce businesses to multi-national organisations with notable customers include Marks & Spencer plc, ASOS plc and Asda Stores Limited. In addition, Sorted has re-seller agreements in place with major Carriers in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States.

o Global ecommerce market forecasted to reach a market size of US$6.35 trillion by 2027 according to Deloitte: The demand for ecommerce has been in?uenced by a number of factors including but not limited to: (i) the rise of smartphones and internet accessibility; (ii) increasing use of social media; (iii) supply chain and logistical infrastructure improvements; and (iv) changing patterns in consumer behaviour.

o Highly fragmented market: The Directors believe that there is no dominant player that offers a delivery experience platform for the entire ecommerce spectrum with one single integrated solution. In this regard, the Directors believe that Sorted's Delivery Experience Platform offers ecommerce businesses a complete end-to-end post-purchase solution, and accordingly, there is an opportunity for Sorted to establish market leadership.

Carmen Carey, CEO of Sorted, commented: "The admission to AIM is a significant milestone for Sorted and provides a great platform for our operations to grow. We look forward to keeping our shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders updated on developments within the Sorted business in the coming months and years."
