Re: Sainsbury's

Communisis plc notes that, following the completion of a competitive tender process, Sainsbury's has announced that it intends to transfer its 'preferred print supplier' status, currently held by Communisis, to a competitor with effect from 1 September 2008.

The great majority of the revenues from the relationship with Sainsbury's is reported in the Print Sourcing segment, with consequently lower margins. As such, the Board of Communisis does not expect the move of this contract to have an impact on Communisis' profits for the current financial year. The Board also believes that the positive outlook for business wins elsewhere in the Company will enable Communisis to compensate for the contribution which this business would have made in 2009.
