About Zamaz

Zamaz is a technology driven e-commerce business that originates, acquires or licenses, operates and scales small and medium-sized brands with category-winning products on global marketplaces. With ever prolific customer data sources, the advent of turnkey e-commerce website platforms, such as Shopify, and a thriving ecosystem of third-party software integrators, the options available to launch and build brands that can be marketed, sold, and shipped online quickly and globally with limited risk have never been more compelling. Such marketplaces, led by Amazon and eBay, also provide connection to millions of consumers, and have become a first-choice route-to-market for a generation of micro and small and medium-sized enterprise businesses.

Zamaz mines and analyses data from such online retail technology platforms which provide significant insights into consumer shopping behaviour and trends and enable the business to deploy, market and sell an optimised portfolio of brands, products, packs and prices aligned with active, real-time consumer needs and demands principally on UK and EU Amazon marketplaces.

Zamaz currently undertakes the following key activities:

· creates, acquires or licenses, operates and scales online brands;

· promotes and trades its brands competitively through Amazon, other global marketplaces and on owned, direct-to-consumer websites;

· optimises product inventory forecasting and management, supply chain logistics and digital marketing; and

· operates market leading, cloud-based, third-party software solutions for inventory forecasting, warehouse management, supply chain logistics and digital marketing performance.

Zamaz aims to build a multi-national, multi-channel and multi-cultural on-line consumer goods business orientated around ecologically produced and health supportive brands and products, ethically sourced from all over the world.

Zamaz's principal brand is Ecomoist, which offers a range of cleaning solutions for mobile phones, computer screens, keyboards and vinyl records and is a market leading ecological IT hygiene solution with full listings on the UK and six other European Amazon marketplaces.

Zamaz ' s latest brand acquisition, Bella Dispensa, is an Italian-based online marketplace operator of traditional, premium quality "Made in Italy" grocery food brands delivered directly from vendors to end consumers via a proprietary e-commerce platform.

The Company will seek to achieve value creation and growth by:

· designing, developing, acquiring or licensing and scaling category-leading Amazon native brands on the Amazon FBA service platform;

· acquiring or licensing and growing D2C brands by extending product ranges, multiplying direct and indirect distribution channels, and expanding in international markets;

· acquiring traditional retail businesses which have the characteristics to be developed into e-commerce powerhouses;

· developing or acquiring shop-front strategies to enhance awareness, availability and generate direct consumer sales; and

· aggregating and managing a Brand Portfolio, selling across multiple digital and physical retail, and wholesale channels.

Commenting, Zamaz CEO, Chris Hill said:

"Zamaz's Direct Listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange will enable the Company to execute its strategy to expand and launch portfolio brands on Amazon internationally, and across a growing number of other third-party e-commerce marketplaces, social media and direct channels.

" E-commerce has been the fastest-growing retail shopping channel over the last decade, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the shift online. Notwithstanding the current challenging economic backdrop, the Company is well positioned for continued growth ."

The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights figure of 708,059,435 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
