Update on claim received relating to MRS Guernsey Limited

The Directors of Management Resource Solutions Plc ("MRS" or "the Company") wish to provide an update regarding the claim ("the Claim") received from the Joint Voluntary Liquidators ("JVLs") of MRS Guernsey Limited (a subsidiary of the Company that is in voluntary liquidation).

Following receipt of the Claim, the Company has been working through the accounting records relating to the Papua New Guinea contract, for which MRS Guernsey Limited (which was placed into voluntary liquidation as announced on 30 December 2016) was the operating entity.

The Directors are confident that they will be able to demonstrate that the PNG contract and therefore MRS (Guernsey) Limited were loss making and therefore that no intercompany balance is due to MRS Guernsey Limited from the Company.

The Company is in dialogue with the JVLs and will provide a further update when agreement has been reached, which it is hoped will be possible before the audited results to 30 June 2017 are published.
