("NAHL" or the "Group")

AGM Statement

James Saralis, CEO of NAHL (AIM: NAH), a leading marketing and services business focused on the UK consumer legal market, will make the following statement at the Group's Annual General Meeting being held at 10 a.m. today:

"Since the publication of the 2022 Final Results on 22 March 2023, the Group has continued to make progress in scaling both of its divisions.

"In Consumer Legal Services, the number of personal injury enquiries generated in the first four months of the year (the "Period") was consistent with last year (excluding tariff-only road traffic accident ("RTA") claims, which we ceased processing in February 2022) and the Group's market-leading brand, National Accident Helpline, delivered a good performance in organic search. The business saw higher than expected supply of RTA enquiries in the Period, which may be due to recent consolidation in the industry, which has resulted in the division placing increased levels of RTA work into its wholly-owned law firm, National Accident Law ("NAL"). The Group will continue to utilise its agile placement model to manage volumes.

"The Group continues to make progress in scaling NAL and placed 8% more enquiries into NAL in the Period. Cash received from settled claims in NAL increased by 108%.

"In Critical Care, Bush & Co. has grown both Case Management and Expert Witness services, and

issued 25% more Expert Witness reports in the Period than the same period last year. As a result of its marketing and business development activities, the pipeline of work for Bush & Co. remains strong for the remainder of the year.

"Finally, in April and as previously announced, the Group completed the sale of its conveyancing business, Homeward Legal. The subsidiary was considered non-core to the Group's principal focus in Consumer Legal Services and Critical Care and its sale will allow us to further focus on delivering value in these key areas.

"The Board's expectations for the full year remain unchanged and we look forward to providing a trading update later in the year on the half year results."
