CARIBBEAN INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED - RESULTS OF CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Caribbean Investment Holdings Limited (London - AIM: CIHL; Bermuda - BSX: CIHL) (the Company) announces that as a result of the share capital reorganisation announced on 24 October 2017 (the Capital Reorganisation), the Company has acquired 378,984 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 11.50 pence per share (the Purchased Shares). Immediately following the acquisition by the Company of the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Shares were cancelled resulting in a decrease of its issued share capital. The total issued share capital of the Company (including 3,743,983 shares held in treasury) is now 103,264,000 ordinary shares of nil par value each. The total number of depositary interests representing ordinary shares (issued by Capita IRG Trustees Limited as depositary under the trust deed poll dated 13 November 2007) is now 18,803,000.

As previously announced, the Company believes that certain of the costs inherent in maintaining a larger shareholder base will now be reduced and therefore the Capital Reorganisation is in the best interest of the Company.

The Company further confirms that cheques representing payments for the Purchased Shares and new certificates will be posted to shareholders by no later than 10 November 2017.

The London Stock Exchange has ended the voluntary suspension of trading of the Company's shares on AIM with effect from today, and trading of the Company's shares will now resume.

Following the Capital Reorganisation, the ISIN associated with the depositary interests representing shares in the Company is BZP211481122.
