MANROY PLC ("Manroy" or the "Company")

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Manroy Plc has today posted to its shareholders notice of its 2014 Annual General Meeting to be held on 31 March 2014, a copy of which can be found on the Company's website (www.manroy.com) in accordance with AIM Rule 20.

The Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2013 (the "Report and Financial Statements") will be posted to shareholders separately as soon as practicably possible, which is expected to be before 31 March 2014. The reason the Report and Financial Statements are not being despatched with the Notice emanates from the announcement made on 26 November 2013 that the Company is in an offer period under the Takeover Code on Mergers and Acquisitions which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company (the "Offer"). The board of Manroy anticipates that the Report and Financial Statements will be capable of issue to shareholders as soon as possible after the position concerning the potential Offer for the Company has been determined. There can be no certainty that a formal offer will be made for the Company or the terms on which such an offer may be made.
