Re Media speculation

Conviviality stated in its Admission document that it would consider complementary strategic acquisitions.

Conviviality notes recent media speculation in the trade press in relation to the acquisition of a small number of off licences from Bibby Retail Services Limited, owner of the Rhythm & Booze chain of off-licences.

Conviviality confirms that it is in discussions with Bibby Retail Services Limited, but there is no certainty that any transaction will be concluded. Any transaction, should it occur, would be funded through existing resources.

Conviviality continues to look for value-enhancing investments and to manage our existing portfolio in order to maximise value for all our shareholders.
