Journey Group plc (the "Company")

Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

The Company announces that, on 30th October 2014, both Stephen Yapp, Chairman of the Company and Joe Golio, President and CEO of Airfayre Inc. exercised options under the Journey Group Management Incentive Scheme (the "Scheme"). Under the rules of the Scheme, at the Company's discretion, the monetary value attributable to option holders may be satisfied in cash instead of in ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). The Company has satisfied the monetary values attributable under the Scheme partly in cash and partly in Ordinary Shares. The cash payments are being made to meet the income tax liabilities associated with the exercise of options under the Scheme. The Directors indicated that their preference was to take the maximum number of shares possible, after allowing for tax liabilities. These Ordinary Shares will be satisfied by a transfer of shares out of treasury.

A total of 271,777 Ordinary Shares were issuable to Mr Yapp under the Scheme, based on a price of 127.16p per Ordinary Share, calculated under the rules of the Scheme. A total of £162,428 will be settled in cash, with the remainder of 144,042 Ordinary Shares (the balance) being issued to Mr Yapp. Following this transaction, Mr Yapp will have a beneficial holding of 415,883 Ordinary Shares in the Company, which represents 3.07% of the Company's issued share capital.

A total of 135,888 Ordinary Shares were issuable to Mr Golio under the Scheme, based on a price of 127.16p per Ordinary Share calculated under the rules of the scheme. A total of £57,023 will be settled in cash, with the remainder of 91,045 Ordinary Shares (the balance) being issued to Mr Golio. Following this transaction, Mr Golio will have a beneficial holding of 91,045 Ordinary Shares in the Company, which represents 0.67% of the Company's issued share capital.

Following the above, the Company holds 264,913 Ordinary Shares in treasury and the issued share capital of the Company, which carries voting rights of one vote per share, comprises 13,533,729 Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares).

This figure of 13,533,729 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
