Notification of Change of Auditor

Consort Medical plc ('the Company') announces its intention to appoint KPMG LLP as auditor of the Company. The Company first reported its intention to hold a competitive audit tender process in its annual report & financial statements 2014-15. This was initiated in light of emerging best practice and the fact that the existing auditor, PWC had been incumbent for some time. A rigorous tender process was conducted, which resulted in the Consort Medical plc Board recommending that KPMG LLP be appointed as auditor of the Company with effect from the 2015-16 financial year. The appointment will be put to shareholders for approval at the next general meeting.

Accordingly, the Company announces that a statement of reasons ('The Statement') from PWC, confirming its resignation as the Company's auditor as a result of tender process, was received by the Company on 28 October 2015 in accordance with Section 519 of The Companies Act 2006. Copies of The Statement received and the covering letter have been submitted to The National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
