Re: Media speculation

Chime announces that its chairman has asked the board if he can pursue the possibility of he, Piers Pottinger, and certain other members of the senior management team acquiring some of the businesses within the Public Relations division. The board has agreed that he can pursue that possibility.

No proposal has yet been made and there can be no certainty that a proposal which the board can recommend to shareholders will be forthcoming.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
