Marwyn Value Investors Limited

Manager Update

The Company has today been notified by Marwyn Investment Management LLP ("Marwyn") that, following his family's move to Spain, Mark Brangstrup Watts has retired as a partner of Marwyn and a member of its investment committee with immediate effect.

James Corsellis as Chief Investment Officer will continue on the investment committee alongside Marwyn Partners, Antoinette Vanderpuije and Tom Basset, with the ongoing support from a team of eight investment professionals based in London and Jersey.

Mark remains a director of AdvancedAdvT Limited, working closely with Marwyn and the board to identify and pursue acquisition opportunities, a trustee of the Marwyn Trust and a member of Marwyn LTIP LP but is not a PDMR in respect of the Company.

Mark Brangstrup Watts commented: "I am proud of our achievements during my last 20 years at Marwyn and excited about the prospects of the firm which has huge opportunities in front of it, a great team led by James as Managing Partner and CIO, and his partners Antoinette Vanderpuije & Tom Basset, and access to significant capital in probably one of the most challenging economic environments any of us have witnessed. It is in just this type of environment that Marwyn's investment approach has historically thrived, and I strongly believe will continue to do so."

James Corsellis, CIO of Marwyn commented "We wish Mark and his family the very best; we are enormously grateful for his pivotal role in Marwyn becoming the firm it is today and he will be deeply missed. We find ourselves in a very exciting position with an experienced team who are working on a day-to-day basis alongside our exceptional management partners Vin Murria, Mark Hodges, Corry Taylor and now Waheed Alli. Despite the challenges presented by the macro-economic turmoil and dysfunction in the capital markets (particularly amongst UK small- and mid-cap companies) we are seeing more and more interesting opportunities to invest capital behind great management teams and companies both directly, and through our acquisition companies."
