Temporary Suspension of Share Trading on London Stock Exchange

The People's Operator (AIM: TPOP), the cause-based commercial mobile virtual network operator, announces that further to the Company's announcement of 26 June 2018, due to the ongoing discussions with its sole secured creditor, regarding the use of proceeds from the ongoing disposal of the Company's US business, and the Company's urgent need for bridge funding to cover the period to receipt of the expected proceeds, the Board of Directors has been unable to complete its required responsibilities to conclude and approve the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2017 ('FY17').

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 19 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company has requested that trading in the Company's ordinary shares on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange be suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 2 July 2018 pending publication of the FY17 annual audited accounts, following which the Company will request the suspension to be lifted.

Further announcements will be made in due course.
