Successful claim under warranty insurance

RWS Holdings plc ("RWS", "the Group"), one of the world's leading language, intellectual property support services and localization providers, today confirms the receipt of the sum of $11.65m following a successful claim under the terms of the warranty insurance taken out as part of the Moravia acquisition in November 2017.

Richard Thompson, Chief Executive Officer, RWS Holdings commented:

"This claim relates to certain information that was omitted ahead of the acquisition of Moravia. The information would not have altered the decision to acquire Moravia, which has been very successful.   Nevertheless, we did have cause to claim under the warranty insurance and we are pleased to have received this settlement.

"Moravia has proven to be an excellent acquisition for the Group and we continue to grow the business by providing leading localisation solutions that enable some of the largest companies in the world to deliver their content globally and with brand consistency."
