Distribution of Ordinary Shares and Directorate changes

John Laing Group plc ("John Laing" or the "Company") has been informed by Henderson Equity Partners (GP) Limited (as general partner of Henderson PFI Secondary Fund L.P. ("Fund I") and Henderson PFI Secondary Fund II L.P. ("Fund II")) that the 229,541,044 Ordinary Shares of 10p each in the issued share capital of the Company (the "Shares") held by HPC Nominees Limited ("HPC") and representing 62.56% of the Company's issued share capital will be distributed to the underlying investors in accordance with the limited partnership agreements of Fund I and Fund II (the "Distribution") on 1 October 2015.

The Distribution will follow the expiry on 30 September 2015 of the lock-up and orderly market restrictions to which HPC has been subject since the Company's IPO in February 2015 and is consistent with the disclosure made in the Company's Prospectus published at that time. The recipients of the Shares pursuant to the Distribution include more than 20 institutional investors.

In connection with the Distribution, Priscilla Davies and Guy Pigache have given notice to the Company of their intention to step down as Non-Executive Directors of the Company with effect from 1 October. The Relationship Agreement put in place between the Company and HPC at the time of the IPO will also terminate with effect from the same date.

Olivier Brousse, John Laing's Chief Executive, said:

"I want to take this opportunity to thank Priscilla and Guy for the very strong contribution they have made to John Laing over a number of years. We have made good progress since our IPO in February and we will continue to engage with all our shareholders as we target continued growth in our business"
