Dalata Hotel Group plc ("Dalata" or "the Company")

Results of Extraordinary General Meeting

On 18 December 2014 the Company posted a circular to shareholders convening an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") to approve the Acquisition of the Moran Bewley's Hotel Group;

The EGM took place at 10.00 a.m. today at the Clyde Court Hotel, Lansdowne Road, Dublin 4.

The Board of Dalata is pleased to announce that the ordinary resolution to approve the Acquisition proposed at the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting held today was unanimously passed. The Acquisition is now expected to complete subject to the approval of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission ("CCPC"). Dalata will further update the market regarding the timetable for completion of the Acquisition and admission of the Enlarged Share Capital to trading once CCPC approval is received.

Votes were received from Shareholders in advance of the EGM as follows:

92,221,225 shares (c. 100% of votes cast) were voted in favour of the resolution and 0 shares (c. 0% of votes cast) voted against, 601,920 shares were withheld.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law and therefore is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for or against the resolution.

Capitalised terms used, but not defined in this announcement, have the same meanings as set out in the Admission Document for the Enlarged Group.
