AFH Financial Group plc

("AFH" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options

The Board of AFH, a leading financial planning led investment management firm, announces that application has been made for 21,161 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary Shares have been issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of share options by two self-employed financial advisers under the AFH Contractors Share Option Plan and by two employees under the EMI share option scheme. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company. The New Ordinary Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 4 November 2016.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the issued share capital of the Company comprises 24,126,313 ordinary shares of 10 pence, each with one voting right. The Company holds 417 Ordinary Shares in treasury which do not carry any voting rights.

The total number of Ordinary Shares carrying voting rights in AFH is therefore 24,125,896. This figure will represent the total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
