Elegant Hotels Group plc

Interim Dividend in respect of the year ending 30 September 2015

The Directors of Elegant Hotels Group plc (the "Company"), the owner and operator of five upscale freehold hotels and a beachfront restaurant on the island of Barbados, announce that they have declared an interim dividend for the period to 30 September 2015 of 1.75 pence per ordinary share.

This is consistent with the intentions at the time of the Company's admission to AIM on 26 May 2015, to target a 7% yield based on its Admission price of £1 per ordinary share. In the Company's AIM Admission Document it stated it would implement a progressive dividend policy in line with the growth in future earnings, subject to the discretion of the Board and to the Company having sufficient distributable reserves.

This maiden dividend of 1.75p will be paid on 30 October 2015 to shareholders on the register on 9 October 2015 and the Company's ordinary shares will become ex-dividend on 8 October 2015. This is intended to be followed by a second dividend of 1.75p in February 2016 representing a total of 3.5p per ordinary share for the Company's first accounts period from 10 April 2015 to 30 September 2015.
