("AFH" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options

The Board of AFH, a leading financial planning led wealth management firm, announces that application has been made for 2,500 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 allotted pursuant to the exercise of share options by an employee under the Company's 2012 Contractors' Share Option Plan and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company. The share options have an exercise price of £1.00. The New Ordinary Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 3 September 2015.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the issued share capital of the Company comprises 20,108,319 ordinary shares of 10 pence, each with one voting right. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company is 20,108,319.

The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
