First Tannable A4-Sized Skin Achieved
Scalable Process Unlocked for Elemental™; T-Rex Leather™ Showcase Confirmed for 2 April 2026
BSF Enterprise PLC (LSE:BSFA), the tissue-engineering innovator, is pleased to report a significant commercial
milestone for its wholly-owned subsidiary Lab-Grown Leather Limited ("LGL"): the successful production of a fully
tanned, scaffold-free skin reaching A4 sheet size and approaching 2mm thickness - achieved in a matter of weeks
using LGL's proprietary Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform ("ATEP™").
Key Milestones Achieved
• A4-size tannable skin produced at industrially relevant thickness (~2mm)
• Scalable process developed over the last six months using ATEP™
• Scaffold-free architecture delivering bio-equivalent durability, breathability and patina
• Zero-waste geometry: skin cultivated to specification, eliminating traditional hide scrap rates
• T-Rex Leather™ website and social channels live; showcase event confirmed for 2 April 2026
Elemental™: A New Standard for High-Performance Luxury Materials
The Elemental™ product series represents the commercial embodiment of LGL's ATEP™. Over the past six
months, the LGL team has engineered a repeatable, scalable process that takes animal cells and cultivates them
into a tannable skin product at dimensions that are meaningful to luxury goods manufacturers. This first full tanning
of the material - a critical processing step required before leather can be used in finished goods - confirms that
Elemental™ is advancing through the technical readiness pathway towards commercial supply.
Unlike many competing bio-based or synthetic alternative materials, LGL's scaffold-free approach means the cells
self-organise to produce a material that is bio-equivalent to conventional hide: retaining the structural integrity,
tactile properties, and characteristic patina that luxury brands demand. The process can be tuned to produce
leathers that are thinner, stronger, or with unique surface characteristics that would be impossible or unethical to
source conventionally. Thus LGL is able to uniquely position ElementalTM
as a high-end, low-intervention material,
setting the standard for a new generation of leather and cultivating a new era for luxury.
T-Rex Leather™ - Where Technology Meets Rarity
One of the most distinctive and commercially compelling applications of LGL's platform is its ability to engineer
material inspired by the cellular biology of rare and extinct species. T-Rex Leather™ leverages this capability to
offer the luxury and fashion industries access to materials that are, by definition, unavailable by any other means -
creating a genuine scarcity narrative that is entirely authentic and ethically sound.
This positions LGL in a unique category: not simply a "more sustainable" version of existing leather, but a
genuinely new class of luxury material with intrinsic rarity, provenance, and a powerful story. The T-Rex Leather™
brand has now launched its website and social media presence, and a showcase event has been confirmed for 2
April 2026, which the Company expects to generate significant press and industry engagement.

Commercial Outlook
The achievement of a tannable skin at A4 scale and industrially relevant thickness is a key gate in LGL's
commercialisation roadmap. The Company is now in a position to extend its engagement with luxury goods
manufacturers, material distributors, and brand partners on the basis of a tangible, scalable and demonstrable
product. LGL's IP-protected ATEP™ platform provides a defensible competitive moat across both the conventional
luxury leather market and the emerging exotic/extinct species segment.
The Company will continue to update shareholders on progress, including the outcome of the 2 April 2026 T-Rex
Leather™ showcase event.
