Issue of proceedings seeking an injunction against Mr Hamish Ogston

CPPGroup PLC ("CPP" or the "Company") announces that it has today issued proceedings in the High Court against Mr Ogston. As part of those proceedings, CPP seeks an interim injunction against Mr Hamish Ogston, who holds (either directly or through Milton Magna Limited, his family investment vehicle) approximately 42.27 per cent. of the Company's shares.

The injunction is being sought to restrain Mr Ogston, whether by himself or otherwise, from exercising or causing to be exercised any voting rights attaching to his ordinary shares in the Company (i) in support of the resolutions contained in the Requisition Notice sent by Schroders and (ii) at any annual general meeting of the Company so as to prevent or obstruct the re-appointment of existing members of the Company's board of directors.
