Cavendish plc
("Cavendish" and together with its subsidiary undertakings, the "Group")

Response to press speculation

The Board of Cavendish notes the recent press speculation and confirms that it has received interest in the private M&A and debt advisory business of the Group.  This was rejected and there have been no further discussions.

The Group's strategy is to focus on growing and evolving as a full service, fully integrated, small and mid-cap investment bank with the potential for adding additional business offerings rather than reducing them.  Cavendish has already generated significant revenues and won a number of live mandates as a result of the integrated business offerings within the Group.
