("Journey Group" or the "Company")

Transaction in own shares

Journey Group announces that on 23 December 2015, in accordance with its continuing share buy-back programme, as approved at the Company's general meeting on 21 December 2015, it purchased a total of 408,084 ordinary shares to be transferred into treasury, at a price of 180p per Ordinary Share (the "Repurchase"). The Repurchase was carried out through N+1 Singer.

As part of the Repurchase, Harwood Capital LLP has sold a sufficient number of ordinary shares such that its aggregate holding remains less than 30 per cent. of the reduced share capital of the Company carrying voting rights.

Following the Repurchase, the Company has a total of 13,798,642 ordinary shares in issue, of which 1,787,948 ordinary shares are held in treasury. Therefore the issued share capital of the Company carrying voting rights is 12,010,694, which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
