PipeHawk plc

("PipeHawk", "Company" or the "Group")

Update re. QM Systems Limited

PipeHawk announces that, further to the Group's announcement on 5 July 2024, the directors of QM Systems Limited ("QM"), a subsidiary of PipeHawk, have resolved to appoint RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP ("RSM") as administrators to QM. Further announcements will be made as appropriate, including following the confirmation of RSM as administrators to QM.

The Group reiterates that the board of directors of PipeHawk (the "Board") is of the view that the steps taken to protect the interests of QM's creditors through placing QM into administration will not impact PipeHawk's broader group of companies and the Board believes that the remainder of the Group will be able to continue to trade as a going concern.
