Cyril Sweett Group plc (the 'Company')

Issue of equity

The Company announces that application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on AIM of 956,637 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company ('Shares').

The new Shares, issued at a price of 42.7 pence per Share, have been issued pursuant to the tranche 2 liability relating to the acquisition of Widnell Limited.

The new Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares and dealings are expected to commence on 12 August 2011.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 66,281,958 ordinary shares, with voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of ordinary shares in the Company with voting rights will be 66,281,958. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
