As a consequence of the appointment of Sandra Rodger as the Company CFO, DGS has been notified by Grant Thornton UK LLP ("GT") that it is obliged to resign as the Company auditor under UK regulations designed to preserve the audit firm independence and prevent undue influence over the audit firm.

Accordingly, the Board will withdraw the resolution to be put to shareholders at the AGM to re-appoint GT.
