DERRISTON CAPITAL PLC

("Derriston" or the "Company")

S4 Capital and MediaMonks to merge

The Company announces that S4 Capital Limited ("S4 Capital") has acquired MediaMonks Multimedia Holding B.V. ("MediaMonks"), a transaction that seeks to create the digital platform of the future. MediaMonks has revenues of approximately €110 million and operates through 11 offices in 10 countries spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The combined group has over 750 people and clients including adidas, Amazon, GE, Google, Hyundai, JAB, Johnson & Johnson, Netflix, 3G and Weber. MediaMonks services include digital experiences, product, content and ecommerce.

The objective behind the merger is to provide clients with digital services, which are agile, efficient, and of premium creative quality. This was reflected in MediaMonks success last month at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity with 18 gongs, including one Grand Prix for Entertainment. In addition, the agency provides a global and locally relevant approach, co-locates resources at both agency and client, and serves multi-national, regional and local clients, along with millennial-driven influencer brands.

The merger represents the first move by S4 Capital to create a new era, new media solution embracing data, content and technology, which meets client needs in an always-on environment. Upon completion of this acquisition, and in turn the acquisition of S4 Capital by Derriston, the combined Company will be a unitary one. Particularly as MediaMonks shareowners will receive shares in S4 Capital (which will become shares in the Company), as well as cash and will not include an earnout.

Subsequent emphasis will be placed on further platform development, data analytics and digital media buying, run on a single P&L basis, as clients are increasingly demanding.

Derriston is entering into an amended contract to acquire S4 Capital to reflect S4 Capital's merger with MediaMonks. Derriston's acquisition of S4 Capital is conditional, inter alia, on the publication of a prospectus and the re-admission of its shares to listing on the standard segment of the Official List, which is expected to take place in the next two months.
