Capital Markets Day

Capital Markets Day

This afternoon UBM plc is hosting a Capital Markets Day at its London offices.

Through a series of presentations, regional management will provide greater insight into the activities in each of the regions and demonstrate how they are implementing the Events First strategy, in particular with regard to delivering accelerated organic growth and margin improvement.

By way of example, there will be three "deep-dive" sessions covering, amongst other things;

- the continued strong growth of the global Pharma portfolio;

- the steps being taken to respond to the challenges facing the fashion portfolio; and

- the Allworld acquisition and how the integration, which remains on track, is progressing.

As usual, the company will issue a trading update on the morning of the AGM (this year on 17 May 2017) so there will be no comment on current trading and no new material information will be disclosed.

The materials being presented will be available on UBM's website at www.ubm.com/investor, from 2pm with an on-demand webcast available 24 hours later.
