AGM Statement

Rupert Robson, Chairman, Charles Taylor will make the following statement at the Company's AGM to be held today:

"Charles Taylor's 2014 results reflect a strong performance and positive progress in delivering the Group's growth strategy.

"As announced during the first quarter of 2015, we were appointed as the new managers of The Strike Club on 1 March 2015, Charles Taylor Managing Agency received regulatory approval and began trading on 1 April 2015 and we completed the acquisition of the Scottish Widows International Limited on 2 April 2015. We expect these acquisitions to add around 10% to the Group's revenue in 2015 and to be earnings enhancing.

"We successfully completed our rights issue in April, raising £28.8 million after expenses in new capital for the Company. This has made an important contribution to our growth strategy by giving us the financial resources and flexibility we need to pursue strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and business investments. We are currently exploring a number of opportunities, which are in varying stages of development."
