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.
