                  New Contract wins and partners for Acuity 
 
Drumz plc (AIM:DRUM) is pleased to announce that Acuity Risk Management Limited 
('Acuity'), an investee company in which Drumz has a 25% shareholding has won 
contracts with two significant new customers to use its software platform, 
STREAM® Integrated Risk Manager(" STREAM®  "), which is used by private and 
public sector clients to manage their cyber security and other enterprise 
risks. 
 
Contract wins 
 
The first contract win is with a North American bank which is adopting STREAM® 
 to improve its enterprise risk management.  This solution has the potential to 
be replicated by many other banks and financial institutions. 
 
The second contract is with a leading provider of public cloud and 
cybersecurity solutions and services, headquartered in Europe with operations 
in Europe, North and South America which is adopting STREAM® for cyber security 
and IT risk management. 
 
The aggregate initial order value for these two contracts is c.£300,000 over 
three years, equivalent to £100,000 per annum. 
 
New partners 
 
Acuity believes there is an opportunity to accelerate its growth, particularly 
in the North American market which represents 45% of global demand. To achieve 
growth in this market an experienced channel manager was recruited by the 
Company in August 2022.  In addition, two new partners have recently been 
appointed in North America and revised sales targets have been agreed with 
other existing partners.  Both new partners are large corporate entities who 
specialise in cyber security risks for financial, defence, healthcare and 
general market sectors. 
 
Angus Forrest, Chief Executive of Drumz plc, said: "These contract and partners 
wins are evidence that the strategic changes to the distribution channels and 
new management appointments which have been made are working and setting Acuity 
up for faster and transformational growth over the short to medium term." 
 
Simon Marvell, CEO of Acuity said: "The Acuity business has been making great 
progress with the investment and support from Drumz and since the recruitment 
of Kerry Chambers as Commercial Director in April 2021. These two new exciting 
customer wins are testament to performance improvements across all sales and 
marketing operations which are now starting to bear fruit."
