Pre-Close Update

Trading Ahead of Market Expectations and Maiden Dividend

Galasys PLC (AIM:GLS), a leading provider of ticketing systems and solutions to the fast growing amusement park industry in Asia, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2014 in advance of the release of its annual results in April.

Trading and Dividend Update

The Board is delighted to report that Galasys expects to announce a set of results for the year to 31 December 2014 that will be ahead of market expectations.

As a result of the positive growth achieved both organically and through acquisition, the Board intends to bring forward its plans to implement a progressive dividend policy by declaring a maiden dividend for 2014 with the announcement of the full year results in April, whilst recognising the need for Galasys to continue investing in its expansion and product development plans throughout 2015 and beyond.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Seah, Chief Executive, said:

"Given the management time taken in completing our successful IPO in 2014, I am pleased that we have been able to complete a very successful 12 months with a strong financial and operating performance. We have continued to grow the business at a strong pace throughout 2014 and we now provide our solutions and services to 106 amusement parks across China and South East Asia, compared to 60 sites at the time of our admission to AIM in May 2014. Asia remains the fastest growing market for the global amusement park industry and Galasys is well positioned and will continue to grow in this region."

"At the time of the IPO, the Board committed the Group to pursuing a progressive dividend policy and because of the strength of our performance and profitability in 2014 I am delighted to report that we intend to implement that policy with a maiden dividend for 2014."
