Communisis plc

("Communisis" or the "Company")

Notice of General Meeting

The Company has issued a circular to shareholders to convene a general meeting to seek shareholder approval for a proposed reduction of the Company's capital ("Capital Reduction"). The meeting is to be held at 9.00am on 9 November 2016 at the offices of Communisis plc, 10 Little Portland Street, London W1W 7JG.

Since the Interim results, corporate bond yields have further decreased with a resultant increase in the accounting deficit of the Company's pension scheme. As of 17 October 2016, the pension scheme accounting deficit was approximately £57m, compared to an accounting deficit of approximately £44m at 30 June 2016. This increase in accounting deficit has the effect of reducing the level of the Company's distributable reserves. In order to improve the Company's distributable reserves and to support future dividend payments, the Board is recommending a Capital Reduction.

The completion of the Capital Reduction will not affect the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares, and will not result in any change to the number of Ordinary Shares in issue.

The Capital Reduction, if approved by the Shareholders and confirmed by the High Court, will (subject to any undertakings the Company may be required to give to the High Court regarding the protection of its creditors) create additional distributable reserves of approximately £22.5m.

The circular gives more detail on the Capital Reduction, including the justification, process and timescales. The circular is available on the Company's website at www.communisis.com.
