Response to DX (Group) plc announcement
The Board of John Menzies plc ("John Menzies") notes the
announcement made by DX (Group) plc ("DX") earlier today that the
City of London Police will not be proceeding to a full
investigation.
The Board of John Menzies continues to believe that the
combination of DX and John Menzies' Distribution division (the
"Transaction") has strong strategic logic for all stakeholders and
that the Transaction represents an opportunity to deliver
significant value.
Discussions between John Menzies and DX are ongoing and a
further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
There can be no certainty that a transaction will occur.
