RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER

for

Journey Group plc 

by

Jaguar Holdings Limited

to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangementunder Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

Clarification of Expected Timetable

On 8 September 2016, the board of Jaguar Holdings Limited ("Jaguar Holdings") and the Independent Directors of Journey Group plc ("Journey") announced the posting to Journey Shareholders of the scheme document in relation to the recommended cash offer by Jaguar Holdings for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Journey (the "Offer") setting out, amongst other things, the full terms and conditions of the Scheme, an expected timetable of principal events and notices of the Court Meeting and General Meeting (the "Scheme Document").

It has come to the attention of the Independent Directors and the board of Jaguar Holdings that, due to an administrative error, note 1 to the Notice of General Meeting on page 112 of the Scheme Document refers incorrectly to the Voting Record Time for the General Meeting as being at close of business on 29 September 2016, when the correct time and date is close of business on 30 September 2016. References to the Voting Record Time for the General Meeting made elsewhere in the Scheme Document are to the correct time and date.

The full expected timetable of principal events is set out below.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement (the "Announcement"), unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the Scheme Document. Copies of this Announcement will be available free of charge (subject to certain restrictions relating to persons in certain overseas jurisdictions) on Journey's website at www.journeygroup.plc.uk. The contents of this website are not incorporated into, and do not form part of, this Announcement.

Expected Timetable of Principal Events

The expected timetable of principal events for the implementation of the Scheme is set out below. If any of the key dates set out in the expected timetable changes, an appropriate announcement will be made through a Regulatory Information Service.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS

1. The pink Form of Proxy for the Court Meeting may, alternatively, be handed to Capita Asset Services or the Chairman of the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting. However, it is requested that, if possible, pink Forms of Proxy be lodged with Capita Asset Services at least 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a weekend or a public holiday in the UK) before the time appointed for the Court Meeting.

4. These times and dates are indicative only and will depend, amongst other things, on the date upon which the Court sanctions the Scheme and the date on which the Conditions set out in Part III to the Scheme Document are satisfied or (if capable of waiver) waived. If any of the expected dates change, Journey will, unless the Panel otherwise consents, give notice of the change by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service and/or sending a further circular to Journey Shareholders.

Disclosure Requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of Journey or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) Journey and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of Journey or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of Journey or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of Journey or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) Journey and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of Journey or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by Journey and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by Journey, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
