RetailBook Announces Key Senior Hires To Further Accelerate Retail Participation in Primary Markets

Peel Hunt is pleased to acknowledge today's press release by RetailBook that it has made a number of key strategic hires of the former capital markets team of PrimaryBid. This targeted investment will materially expand RetailBook's capabilities and ensure that retail investors have the same opportunities as institutional investors through the delivery of comprehensive retail inclusion. We are proud to have supported RetailBook through its journey so far and are excited to see the future development of the business.

RetailBook (www.retailbook.com), which now operates fully independently of the Group as an industry utility, was originally created by Peel Hunt as a regulated retail access technology platform. RetailBook is owned by a number of key market participants including Hargreaves Lansdown, Jefferies, Peel Hunt and Rothschild & Co.
